It's interesting that Lois only needed the right impetus to come to the realization that she married Lex for all the wrong reasons, that she had and will never have anything in common with him, that he'll never respect her work, ideas, drive, that he just doesn't understand anything about this woman he married except that she's beautiful, smart and someone he thinks he can mold into the perfect trophy wife. I'm looking forward to having Lois set him straight on *that*!
What gets me about Lois, in all of these situations, is
WHY she didn't think about all of this
BEFORE she married Luthor. She goes off blindly happy that the famous Lex Luthor wanted her and she's happy to accept his marriage proposal and not two months later she's unhappy already! Is she fickle, or just a gold digger? And why shouldn't Lex expect her to be his trophy wife? She didn't complain about his treatment of her, not that she's been treated badly by the way. It's not as if she didn't know what she was getting into before she said yes. Or was she drugged into accepting?
I've never understood how the strong, independent career woman she claims to be can be so easily manipulated into marrying Luthor by bombing the Planet. Were there
NO other papers in the country she could have taken her 3 Kerth awards to? Nope I guess not. The Planet is gone so she might as well get married and live in the lap of luxury. Makes perfect sense to me.
I suppose all of this sudden change of heart is perfectly acceptable though because Lois doesn't love Lex and was only biding her time, enjoying Lex's money until someone better came along. Now that she's found someone she can love it's time to tell Lex "sorry honey I've found someone else, I want a divorce!" Is this the kind of woman you can respect? If you can please explain it to me.
Betrayed is a perfect title for the next story. As much as you might hate Lex, and we
DON'T know this Lex is a bad guy, he's the one who is being betrayed by his new bride of two months. And personally I find it hard not to find fault with him being angry. If you would be perfectly honest with yourself and if it were
anyone else in this situation, wouldn't the agrieved husband's anger be perfectly understandable? I venture to say you would.
