Pretty solid episode but I think my favourite piece of characterisation in this show is the focus on Hal’s passive suicidal ideation and the dynamic between that and him getting/using the ring
It takes huge willpower to choose to live when you’re broken and want to die
It’s so !!! (to me) that he was so aware of his character & strutting on set and improvising & yet he still had no idea how the world would receive him as Superman… I’m so excited for the energy he’s bringing in for MOT like he’s literally THE Superman 😭
