![]() Unlike Inhumans, viewers are more likely be talking about how great the series looks rather than how corny it is. If anything, Krypton's look shows off the flaws of a project like Marvel's Inhumans which was rushed to air. The other great positive of Krypton is the appearance: The show looks cinematic, which could be a reason it has been in development for so long. In the end, though, all of these changes (including a Superman cape that warns of changes to the future much like the photograph in Back to the Future where Marty's siblings disappear) have turned out to have been positives. Even the crest of the House of El - Superman's family, for the uninitiated - now resembles the more familiar "S" rather than the "hope" sign seen in Man of Steel. That time-travel aspect did not seem to be a part of the series when originally proposed in fact, the trailer that leaked online for a brief moment a year ago, based on the original draft of the Krypton pilot, had less than a half-dozen shots that ended up in the finished product. On screen, this Brainiac is, so far, the most impressive-looking Superman villain in any live-action medium - and there has been a lot of live-action iterations of Superman. This threat, Brainiac ( Blake Ritson), is a "collector of worlds" who looks like he's directly taken from the run of writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank on Action Comics a decade ago. ![]() Goyer's Man of Steel film directed by Zack Snyder - is the inclusion of time travel to the story, courtesy of Adam Strange ( Shaun Sipos) who arrives in the pilot to warn Seg-El ( Cameron Cuffe) of an oncoming threat that could jeopardize the future existence of Seg's grandson, Superman. One major change to the series - which was originally going to have imagery tied directly to writer David S. While the Krypton-based sequences of Man of Steel were among the best parts of the movie, it was questionable if a series about power struggles on a planet that we all know would explode is a concept that would work.įortunately, thanks to a likable cast, some beautiful imagery, a slightly retooled concept and a high-quality production, Krypton exceeds those initial impressions and comes out firmly on the side of being something good. When the news first hit in late 2014 that Syfy would have a series focusing on the life of Superman's grandfather Seg-El on his home planet Krypton, it was met with yawns.
