The teens in Superman & Lois felt like they only existed to go to school, mope, and occasionally tag along when Clark or John Henry needed help. That’s it. Jordan and Natalie barely did anything superhero-related on their own. If the show had leaned into the chaos and freedom of something like Euphoria—sex, drugs, alcohol, adult situations doing whatever they wanted it would’ve made them feel like real modern teens. Instead, they were written like side characters in their own lives, stuck in Smallville doing nothing while the adults got all the storylines.
