We still have Lucy Lawless. I heard the kid you played "Young Hercules" turned out to be a nice guy, I wonder what he's been doing lately?

He's also not white so what does he gain from making a stink about this? Japanese superman was the most woke thing to exist until 2018, he's got no room to talk. His show was also basically about superman's girlfriend, an extremely woke interpretation of superman. We can do this all day lmao

basically about superman's girlfriend,

And casting Teri Hatcher in that role, someone who's very expressive and versatile, was a huge success.

My girlfriend and I watched a couple episodes of Lois and Clarke recently because we were like "woke superman?" and then found out about dean cain being a maga idiot lmao I had never heard of dean cain before but it was so weird to have that kind of whiplash. Pick a lane, guy.
