Olsen is Not an Idiot
Superman: Doomsday is playing in another window as I type. Family visited for the day and I'm exhausted so my brain suggested a little easy viewing.
Little K came to visit. He still amazes me with fully formed sentences both in English and Tagalog. He's not even two. His family and all the area families converged on our house for New Years lunch and dinner. It was fun, loud and very tiring.
We played with Hotwheels and he took two of them home.
Back to the movie.
The animation on this direct-to-video movie is very different from the televised animated Superman. This one sucks. Everyone's skinny, pretty, and it doesn't look right.
So I'm not really paying attention to the movie. Instead, my mind wandered and pondered on the stupidity of Lois Lane. After dating Supes for six months, she has yet to figure out his secret identity. She's been reporting on him for years and after they hook up, one would surmise that she'd figure things out. Nope. Not in this movie.
But how about Jimmy? Olsen is a smart kid and he sees everything. And he's got a shiny gold earring in this incarnation. Assuming he's not an idiot, Olsen must know who Supes is. He's been there enough times to see Clark run off and Superman swoop in just a second later. So here's the theory: he's keeping the secret. He's keeping it because he knows that if anyone every found out he knows something then he's fair game too. And after seeing all the unfortunate things that's happened to Lois, he's going to keep his mouth shut.
Good for him.
I much rather prefer to believe Jimmy is smart behind those telescopic lenses than a complete idiot who can't spell like Lois Lane.
