The show's Instagram account is poking fun at how Clark plays favorites with his sons
The official "Superman & Lois" Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CerQq6bjQ_T/?hl=en) account recently posted a series of photos from the Season 2 episode "All is Lost" featuring Clark and his son Jordan bonding during a heart-to-heart conversation. Jordan is sad because he asked his girlfriend's mother, Lana (Emmanuelle Chriqui), if he could reveal his superhuman powers to her. When she refuses, he reacts with the amount of emotional angst you would expect from a young teenager in love. Clark goes out of his way to cheer him up, including an impromptu trip to the Fortress of Solitude to help him hone his powers. Jonathan is also struggling with the emotional toll of hiding the family secret in this episode, by the way — but the only effort Clark makes to comfort his other son is to teach him how to fix a tractor.
Fans on social media have been aware of this subtle, unhealthy family dynamic for a while. Some viewers are getting a chuckle out of it, while others are understandably sympathetic to poor, neglected Jonathan. In the comments section of the original Instagram post, a_totalsham brutally points out, "Lois reconnecting with her sister, Clark connecting with Jordan, Jonathan connect [sic] two wires on a tractor." Replies to the comment from other users literally describe it as savage; others react more simply with crying emojis for poor Jonathan's suffering.
Fans are also gossiping about the post on Reddit, with u/Zookwok111 (https://www.reddit.com/r/SupermanAndLois/comments/va4a2j/even_the_official_account_is_****ting_on_jonathan/ic0kjwo/) now considering the show to be a dark comedy and also suggesting (https://www.reddit.com/r/SupermanAndLois/comments/va4a2j/even_the_official_account_is_****ting_on_jonathan/ic0unrl/) a crossover with "The Boys" where Jonathan takes Compound V (https://www.looper.com/261124/the-real-reason-a-train-abused-compound-v-on-the-boys/) to make things more even. That'll probably never happen, but it's not a bad idea!
