Everybody Hates Superman! (My Adventures With Superman) | Season 1 of My Adventures With Superman used its plot to explore a question lots of superhero fans have been asking: Is Superman too good to believe? The idea of Superman being too good to be true has given way to so many different takes on his archetype, -- like Superman is lame unless he's evil Superman, for example -- that My Adventures With Superman uses it to address the character directly, including how characters in his circle -- Lois Lane included -- are also affected by it. It just so happens to be a real good allegory for patriarchy as well!
