#this is important to me #the things about the suit that ZS wanted to focus on in the movie may have been interesting in another context but I prefer this #it’s the symbol of his genetic origins but made by his chosen mother #and he’s so. proud. #men everywhere are scrambling around to cut any possible symbolic apron strings to their mothers out of fear #of being called un-masculine and having too close a relationship with a non sexualised woman (ewww mummy’s boy!) #whereas Clark? he’s just ‘great huh? my mum made it for me!’ at the smallest opportunity #and see that dean cain one? he’s literally saying it to a villain who’s mocking him #and instead of denying it or even just not mentioning it – he’s just ‘well shows what you know bc MY MOTHER made it for me’ #like that pretty much settles it for him #BLESS.
