But I don't like it.īut with that said it was a good episode. It was obvious that they are not treating these phantoms as living creatures. Sure Clark didn't actually kill anyone since J'onn trapped the phantom in a crystal instead of destroying it but in Clark's mind he was ready to kill the phantom and that bothers me. Someone running this show just does not seem to get that. Where did the phantom go? J'onn trapped it somehow but will he put it back in the Phantom Zone or will he destroy it?Īlso we have to go back to the fact that Clark Kent/Superman does not kill. Ending up in a Kryptonian prison would be a bit odd though not impossible. Why was the Manhunter there? Was he tracking the phantom? Then how did he know about the phantoms? Was he one of them? I doubt it since he is from Mars. How? Why? Where? Sure there is a chance this will be answered later in the season but the previews for next week do not look like they will expand on this episode. Not enough? I had so many questions after the episode. I am sure shape shifting really is not in the budget so the Manhunter's mind powers would be the best thing to focus on. It was also a good story to fit him in by showcasing his mental powers. Well he was there and it was a bit more screen time than his initial appearance earlier in the season. The much publicized second appearance of the Martian Manhunter.
