Was hoping to be awed.But I disagree with your preference for Clark Kent. I happen to like geeky and timid Clark Kent version for several reasons. One reason is, it is such a big contrast to the Superman persona that it adds more credibility to his Clark disquise. We already roll our eyes with just putting on the glasses and combing the hair different thing. But posture, mannerisms, and all the other dorky things helps the audience suspend reality a bit more. Another reason.....and my main reason.....is that I like seeing non-typical things. You say you can't see someone as strong as Lois falling for a dork like Clark? Who says all intelligent, beautiful, and strong women HAVE to fall for guys that are "cool"? Sometimes girls just geet sick of the "cool" guy....sometimes they like the sweet and dependable guy...even if he is a dork. I would admire Lois more when she finally chooses Clark over Superman. Then I would see that she sees past the social awkwardness and realizes he's a good man. A girl falling the 'cool' guy isn't an accomplishment. No duh a girl would fall for someone cool. Its when someone falls for the right person is when its admirable.That's what made Rick Hunter's journey in Robotech cool. He finally realized that the girl for him wasn't the flashy singer....but the older more homely girl next door Lisa Hayes. I like the dorky Clark Kent. I like seeing people in the office ignore him and not going out of their way to rub elbows with him. He's totally invisible in the office. Which makes his secret identity more credible. Better yet though....I like the irony of seeing people who would act friendly around Superman ignore Clark. I like that the most sought after bachelor in the world is walking about un-noticed by all those ladies at the Daily Planet. For me, its like there's a message saying....."see ladies, sometimes your Superman is right in front of you and you don't know it....."I like that.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
