Season 5 relocates them to Metropolis explicitly to 'rekindle the spark' in their relationship amid superhero threats like Lena Luthor and Brainiac, keeping the sapphic focus front and center with repeated emphasis on their intimacy and domestic life. Voice casting includes queer actresses for Lois Lane and Lena Luthor, layering additional identity elements.

Earlier seasons featured explicit dialogue on 'white privilege,' diversity critiques, and feminist framing that positions capable women against male-dominated villainy and norms. Audience reactions frequently label the show a 'woke propaganda machine' for shoehorning lesbian romance, boss-babe empowerment, and male degradation into the DC sandbox.

Creator statements prioritize maintaining the unbreakable queer couple without breakup. These elements are not incidental background diversity but foundational to the premise, character arcs, and marketing, making progressive identity politics central rather than organic to traditional superhero comedy.
