I really enjoyed the portrayal of a modern day Clark Kent. How his uprightness would definitely turn some people off. And how there's balance to overly mothering someone as opposed to being there for them.
The storyline tried to zero in on how some men are swayed into incel/manosphere/redpill "they're owed happiness" rhetoric. I find it difficult to extend sympathy to these types due to the harm caused, but this story takes a more understanding approach to this/them.
Ultimately, I like that Clark's superpowers played a background role. The power of community and doing the right thing.
