I'm conflicted on whether I'd say at their worst they're better or worse viewing than Superman III or IV, because on the one hand, these are mercifully short, but on the other...III and IV, bad as they were, still weren't WWII-era propaganda. So...yeah. #FleischerSuperman

So on THAT depressing note, those were the Superman shorts. They were...kind of a mixed bag. The actual Fleischer ones were way better in just about every way (animation, story, less propaganda and 'oh god why' stuff.), so you kind of go out on a whimper. #FleischerSuperman

Okay, looking it up, not only is that not Lois, I've apparently been hearing a different actor and actress for Superman and Lois for the last so many, AND they're technically not 'Fleischer' Superman shorts for the last half. #FleischerSuperman

That said, is...this blonde woman NOT Lois in disguise? Despite her having the exact same design otherwise and even the same voice actress? #FleischerSuperman

Okay, no, so far this just seems to be like an undercover cop infiltrating the mafia story. Phew. #FleischerSuperman

This was a full on propaganda short, even ending on showing Hitler, so WHY DID THEY ALSO FEEL THE NEED TO DO REALLY BAD AFRICAN STEREOTYPES ON TOP OF THAT, HOLY HELL. #FleischerSuperman

For a short with mummies, that was fairly uneventful in the grand scheme of things too, at least until the very end.
...and now it's time for 'Jungle Drums' and I'm already so fearful of what I'm about to witness. #FleischerSuperman

Came back from dinner to a short where a professor has created a 'fluid of life' and injected it into ancient mummies.
Wait, I've seen this one.

The following short was fairly mundane honestly, but I'll take that over the propaganda ones any day. Did get a chuckle out of the end where Lois could see through Clark in disguise but still has no idea Clark is Superman, because of COURSE she can/can't, lol. #FleischerSuperman

The Japanese army: "If you commit one more act of sabotage, we're executing our hostage (Lois Lane)!"
Superman: "Lol, bet."
I never thought I'd say this, but perhaps I was too harsh on you Man of Steel...

The short 'Eleventh Hour' wasn't even one of them I was worried about based on it's title, but literally the first thing that happens in it is text onscreen reading Yokohama and -
