Message: <blockquote data-quote="Villano" data-source="post: 2048464" data-attributes="member: 505">Any thoughts on this episode?  I was never a fan of the original Justice League series.  I thought that JLU was an improvement despite some bad episodes (like the Hawk & Dove one).This episode, however, I didn't like.  I really don't like the new, talking Doomsday.  Granted, the comic version was no great thing, but the animated version is just..."eh".  Honestly, the out of control Solomon Grundy was more impressive.  I was also confused by two things.  First, how exactly can Luthor run for President?  In the cartoon, he is a supervillain.  He's been arrested, convicted, broken out of prison, and committed some public crimes.  I don't know if it's a national law, but, in many states, convicted felons can't vote.  If you aren't even eligble register to vote, how can you run for office?I know that's what kept felon Lyndon Larouche off the Democratic Primary ballots this past election (well, that and the fact that Larouche is crazy.  He once claimed that Queen Elizabeth was head of an international drug catel and that Ronald Reagan sent 100 armed men to his house one day to assassinate him).  The "convicted felon" part was the legal reason given for prevented him from registering as a candidate.In the comics, I think they got around things by never actually having Luthor proven to have done anything illegal.  Secondly, I didn't understand Doomsday's origin.  Okay, according to Waller in her conversation with Batman, when Superman reported the story of the Justice Lords, the government put her in charge of coming up with a way to stop the League in case they went bad.  I can't remember, but I think that she said that is why the Cadmus Project was created (I don't think Cadmus was ever mentioned during the Superman animated series, so I'm pretty sure that Cadmus never appeared prior to JLU).Anyway, Doomsday was supposedly created by Cadmus and Waller and trained to hate Superman.  Then Doomsday got loose and fought the Justice Lords' Superman.However, wasn't that the first appearance of the Justice Lords?  How could he have been created because of the Justice Lords before anyone knew they existed?  Is this a gigantic conituity oops? Okay, Prof. Milo might have been lying about Waller, but Doomsday was created by Cadmus.  If the organization didn't exist prior to the Justice Lords, how did they make Doomsday?I didn't tape the episode or anything, so I might have misheard things.  Can anyone help with this?</blockquote>
