My Adventures With Superman's sixth episode ended with a bang, so we talked with showrunner Jake Wyatt and the voice of Supergirl, Kiana Madeira, about the big twist.
has already proven itself an excellent addition to the canon. Between how well it handles its central trio, Clark’s compelling struggles with his Kryptonian ancestry, and its general charm and humor, it has quickly become a standout in a crowded TV landscape, even if you’re not traditionally the biggest fan of Supes.
And then the other thing that we wanted to do is we’re like, “Okay, how does a planet come by a dude who shoots fire out of his eyes and can tear apart a tank?” What are the motivations that create that person? Right? What are the incentives that lead a culture to create this guy? And we’re like, they’re pretty martial, they’re pretty military .
But, also, it’s really cool that we don’t see the animation as we’re recording, so it’s just, you know, you’re on Zoom with the directors and producers and the voice director. You kind of don’t really know how it’s all going to come together. So, as I’ve been watching, it’s really cool to see it come together because as much as you can read the script, it’s kind of hard to imagine the story.
And then the reason why we dressed her as Android 18, it’s actually a Jimmy joke. He’s Krillin. Right, if Superman is Goku, then Jimmy is Krillin. He’s the earthling who understands the aliens and is there to interlocute and help him move through the world. And Android 18 ends up with Krillin. We decided to tie down Clark and Lois really fast because they are one of American pop culture’s great romances. It’s fun to mess with that to a degree, but, well, the metaphor I use in the writer’s room is there are two kinds of relationship drama. If your friend is always breaking up with her boyfriend, that’s kind of fun to watch. Like, that’s funny. You’re like, oh my gosh, she’s so dramatic. If your mom is always like threatening to divorce your dad, that’s less fun.
And so we wanted the audience to kind of go through her heartbreak with her when she realized that she has not been serving these worlds, she has not been helping these people. And that hopefully gives us some space as an audience in our hearts to be like, “Okay, well, obviously, this is worse for Thanagar than for Kara, but it’s pretty bad for Kara.” So, how does she react? And we hope she makes the right choice.
