For me, SV rendered any chance of Lois falling for Superman first impossible the minute she met Clark Kent and he had NONE of his separate identities established yet. Because Lois was meeting the full person from the outset, not just one or two separate sides of him. Awesome points, especially this part. Thank you again! I like your argument very much and you have cemented for me that my real issue is not with Lois falling for Clark rather than Superman, it's for Lois falling for Clark before Clark falls for Lois. i.e. it's about the (im)balance of feeling between those two 'real' characters rather than any identity issues. And that won't be an issue for many people because they probably don't have my crazy thing of loving the aloof, unaware-that-she-has-feelings girl pursued by adorable devoted boy kink. ;)
