Lois Lane (DC Super Hero Girls, 2019, season 1)

Lois Lane is a supporting character in the second generation of the DC Super Hero Girls franchise. She is a student at Metropolis High School and the editor-in-chief of the school's Daily Planetoid newspaper. Sadly, unlike other versions of Lois Lane, she was flanderized in the DC Super Hero Girls TV show.

Why She Sucks
NOTE: This article only applies to the character as depicted in the DC Super Hero Girls TV series.
 * 1) She's an in name only character and a very poor attempt at creating the show's version of Courtney from Total Drama. Whereas Courtney was an unlikable character in Total Drama Island and then redeemed herself in the infamous mh:terribletvshows:Total Drama All-Stars season (which eventfully ruined in Sundae Muddy Sundae), Lois Lane was just a mean popular girl unlike the Super Villain Girls from the show who did one bad thing after another before becoming an antagonist at the end of it.
 * 2) * Because of this, she could be easily come off as a clone of Courtney similar to how Big Tex being a carbon copy of a SpongeBob SquarePants character, Mr. Krabs.
 * 3) She was rather flanderized than she was in the original DC Super Hero Girls web series or any other versions of Lois Lane from a aggressive, career-minded, yet hard working and beautiful reporter who is Clark Kent's love interest to a Ron the Death Eater-like villain who lacks any personality traits that her comic book counterpart has and only cared about exposing the superheroes just of an internship rather than noticing that everyone was in danger for some reason.
 * 4) She rarely showed any respect to anyone including Jimmy Olsen who was being forced by her to come back with photos of the girls, even when he failed to do so.
 * 5) She was at her worst in Breaking News, where she follows Diana Prince, Jessica Cruz, Zee Zatara, Barbara Gordon, Kara Danvers and Karen Beecher around and perverting them from projecting Metropolis from the killer moths and forces them to stay in class, the pier or Sweet Justice while watching them giving up on their hopes and dreams all because of a stupid internship at the Daily Planet (which potentially the CEO of the Daily Planet couldn't allow Lois to join them and getting arrested for what she did to six teenage heroines by the way) without even knowing that everyone was in danger without any hero to defeat the moths and somehow get off Scott free for her actions, not only that, but she's planning to do this on Clark Kent which means that she's an huge killjoy toward the heroes and never even redeems herself after she deleted the email about the girls being exposed.
 * 6) * She also betrayed Metropolis, her own hometown, by refusing to notice that everyone was in danger without the Super Hero Girls which shows how completely cruel, villainous and very out of character this incarnation of Lois Lane really is to the point where she overshadowed the killer moths as the true major antagonist in this episode. Even the per-DCSHG versions of Lois Lane isn't that cruel to begin with.
 * 7) * Due to the backlash from Lois Lane fans about her portrayal in this show and despite being an supporting character, she was nowhere to be seen or mentioned by some other characters as an result of her actions in this episode.
 * 8) She has no real motivation beyond "Exposing the Superheroes" even though many of her problems are her own fault.
 * 9) She's an Karma Houdini who never been told off by Mr. Chapin nor any of the Super Hero girls' parents, especially one time where she was running the girls' lives and reputations as heroes.
 * 10) * Her motivations and actions make little-to-no sense. She basically force superheroes to stop saving people and making them feel safe.
 * 11) She has little-to-no character development unlike her comic book counterpart where she has a crush on Clark Kent.
 * 12) She's quick to jump to conclusions, kind of a foreshadower much like Lynn Loud Jr.
 * 13) She also refuses to accept that there are way more superhero/non-superhero stories than Superman or the Superhero Girls.
 * 14) Because of her actions in both Breaking News and Midterms, she seems to be more of an antagonist rather than a hero as her behavior makes her such a greedy and villainous business obsessing criminal that could've gave Big Tex a run for his money.
 * 15) She's annoying, incompetent, entitled and a narcissist. None of these traits fits any version of Lois Lane. She may be a bit of a pain to deal with, depending on the version, but she never displayed any of these personality traits until her debut in this series.
 * 16) She was responsible for letting everyone in Metropolis to be attacked by the killer moths since she forced the superhero girls to stop fighting crime when other heroes could've just come to the city and stop the moths.
 * 17) She's an literal Mary Sue typed-character which is not her character in the comics.
 * 18) She leaves Metropolis High order expose Clark Kent just so that his reputation and daily life can be ruined by her even though she was his love interest in the comics.
 * 19) This version of Lois, overall, is just a big insult to the original Lois Lane, given that she portrayed as an villain in an Ron the Death Eater fanfic and is very annoying.
 * 20) Basically, she's the gender and role-swapped version of Lex Luthor, another DC character whose been turned into an anti-hero in the DC Super Hero Girls TV show, which is very uncreative and lazy.
 * 21) In the Graphic Novel, Midterms, she tried to frame the Super Hero Girls for the damage at the auto service just because they went fast enough to broke her camera when they literality just did this to stop an car thief from stealing cars. As a matter of fact, this is the DCSHG G2 media where she is the most unlikable other than “Breaking News”.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She deleted the email about exposing the Superhero Girls before she could even published it in Breaking News.
 * 2) She deserve some karma in Shock It To Me where she was bullied by Livewire.
 * 3) Grey Griffin was still great voicing Lois Lane like in the LEGO DC Superhero Girls films.
 * 4) She was likable in the "Equal Tights" short and "Shock It To Me" (though she got karma for her actions in Breaking News").
 * 5) She was a much more likable character in all other entries outside the DC Super Hero Girls TV show.
 * 6) This incarnation of Lois Lane won't be returning for the upcoming video game or the show's second season.
