I haven't posted much Superman content lately. So here's a link to a re-watch of the 78 Superman film that's kind of interesting.
I maintain that Kidder’s Lois was in fact exactly what I wanted her
to be. I loved that she was so completely career-oriented, and unashamed
of it. I loved that her personality quirks (like her terrible spelling)
were related specifically to her work. I loved that her work clearly
took precedence over everything else, including her appearance, her
social life and even her own personal safety, and it took an actual
demi-god showing up before she could be bothered to have any interest in
men.
And before you say it, I don’t love these things about her because I
think every woman should be like Lois Lane, far from it. I just like
that these traits made her so particular. Kidder’s Lois was a
distinct and unmistakable character, whether you liked her or not, and
that’s rare enough for female characters that I feel the need to
celebrate it.
