This series has the best version of Lex Luthor ever put to screen
AGREED!
F A C T!
The show went south after Michael Rosenbaum left the show.
RIGHT! I know people who think Eisenberg their true Lex. Lex needs more respect.
@Kurt E. Clothier it can be done with the right director.
"It only lasted 10 seasons." Lmao, wtf... Most shows these days can't even make it to three 😂😂.
10 episodes on broadcast television. that's among the most successful genre shows of our time.
I was going to post that hehe
But ended when it was supposed to get real
THZ ZX most can’t get to two lol
@@BLACKSTA361 i would argue that it should have ended in season 5
They did so good with the Clark/Lex friendship that I kept hoping they'd make it work, despite...well knowing how it actually worked out.
He if Clark had trusted him he would e been good
That was the glory of shows from this era, sadly we are being smothered with inept idiots nowa days.
I might actually start watching this series again, it has been while.
This was my go to show to watch each week back in the day.
Yep Lex was practically forced to become the Villain with nobody ever trusting him
@@maxnovakovics2568 Nobody owed Lex the truth and later he did really bad things too people even though he had no reason to distrust them in the beginning. He was after all lying constantly since season 2
I liked how the final episode had Lex tell Clark that he'd always be his enemy, how they'd always try and one-up eachother but to do that he'd have to help him save the world.
It seemed like the perfect "frenemies" ending to their relationship, I'll help you with saving the world just so we can continue being enemies.
Smallville set the standard for the modern superhero series, period. That show was a game changer.
Yep. It's responsible for the entire flaming shitshow that is the Arrowverse. **slow clap.**
I hear Comicstorian talk about these universes with such enthusiasm, but then I remember "hey, this stuff isn't actually that good, is it?" Turns out, these shows really aren't. I saw Arrow season 1 and it was awesome. Season 2 is where he becomes a pansy and everything is a confusing mess. Never watched Smallville but I see from the comments that it's just as much of a waste of time.
@@Andri474 Thing is, it was a really good idea, _horribly_ executed right from the pilot.
@@The_Mighty_Fiction - At least the Arrowverse gave us Arrow seasons 1&2 (and 5 if you keep watching) and Flash seasons 1&2. I'm real glad I've watched these, but I'm a huge DC nerd so I might be biased...
Only other "comic book show" that was on that level was Daredevil... (and maybe Jessica Jones season 1, because I really like the "Purple" storyline)
Some of the other shows/seasons might have some not-that-good seasons, but I wouldn't want anybody to miss out on those because they've read that the whole Arrowverse sucks.
@jeremy manchur If you enjoyed 'Smallville,' that's your deal, but it was an objectively bad show with terrible dialogue, disposable storylines riddled with holes, inconsistent characters that fluxed in and out to serve the story of the week and too frequent use of plot-convenient amnesia. It bites every day of the week and twice on Sundays, and the rest of this CW trashverse is in much the same vein, except with the addition of bluetooth pep talks and even more nauseating romance B-plots (how many times do we have to listen to Borey Allen, the Blandest Man Alive, tell Iris she's the reason he's a superhero? Yarg.)
I miss smallvile alot.
Everyone does
Buy all 10 seasons lol, I did
@@deadpooldan9862 im only missing 3 seasons
Ganesh Paulraj so do i
same.... just rewatched all 10 seasons, and wish there were more!
Smallville will always have a special place in my heart!!!
Hey dude! Get your own heartwarming phrase!..
Same
@@tornadochaser2457 huh?
If you notice Smallville Clark’s watch on Crisis. It has a blue lenses. It could be blue kryptonite. Meaning he is retired, but can comeback anytime.
Yea mark Guggenheim confirmed his Earth is still alive even after crisis him and Louis are still living happily
Well that sucks I'm looking at the theme song in whole new way
BeyondEnchantment there’s still multiple earths. At the end of crisis it shows several earths still exist, including Brandon Rouths earth. They just combined some earths into earth prime.
@BeyondEnchantment theres still multiple earths tho..?
@BeyondEnchantment looks like you haven't watched the last episode of that crossover. I did show multiple earths. Only earth 1 and earth 32 (Supergirl's earth) was fused. A lot of those earths returned with slight changes.
Anyone else think smallville was better than most of the newer cw dc shows
That's like comparing dog shit to cat shit, they both suck.
I think it was better than all of them
It started off ok but descended into a boring mess by the end..the new shows started off as a boring mess and never improved.
The special effects and acting were definitely not as bad as the arrowverse.
Smallville is the GOAT
"SOMEBODY SAAAAVVE MEE!!!
Smallville and the theme..amazing
it isn't just Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum did a fantastic job as a Young Lex (see this is how you do it Jesse) i also think im still in love with Kristin Kreuk to this day (i just have to pretend that streetfighter film never happened) heck most of the actors in this were really good.
I missed that Smallville Intro! This show is leaps and bounds ahead of the current CW shows
The intro was so great when they jazzed it up from season 5 onward, it was honestly a strong incentive to continue watching the show in and of itself.
The CW decided focusing on POLITICS was more important than making a good plot. 🤦
@@davidlegkodukh6969 That has literally nothing to do with it. Smallville was better because, despite its bizarre storytelling decisions, the character arcs were fleshed out well. They made bad episodes but also produced great character development. The new CW shows usually break their character arcs by season 3.
@@djames2322 I don't know about that, but one thing I will say I think Smallville did better than the CW shows is the impact created when someone discovers the hero's secret identity - Smallville would have a relationship last for several seasons before the revelation, making it feel more dramatic and like it had more weight. This sense of impact isn't had with the CW shows I find.
@@tornadochaser2457 Yeah CW shows also just didn't understand the drama of those moments. They were never as interesting.
The Flash did the Meta-human freak of the week for the first 4 to 5 seasons, too...
nmr20067 I wish Titans did that for a bit instead of being crisis after crisis with the Titans never being, errr, Titans.
The show has an overarching villain for each season, and the mythology got richer and more complex by season 2.
I'm still going w/ the theory that Clark metaphoricaly gave up his powers and is wearing a blue kryptonite watch.
Same here!
I'm still refusing to accept crisis as canon to smallville
Blue Kryptonite?
@@JosePerez-sy2jc in smallville it was a type of kryptonite that removed a kryptonian's powers as long as they were in range, they introduced a kryptonian who was living on Earth as a human with a watch that had a piece of blue kryptonite in it.
@@strifenineteen Preciated
tbh I find myself rewatching the entire series while eating ice cream and crying
Agreed.
Ikr
Lol. I rewatch it every few years.
It's great but watch more shows
@@irayneman Same here
This was my fav show from 11yrs old to 21 yrs old so pretty much grew up watching it lol
I wish I had watched Smallville while growing up. I didn't watch the series until about 5 years ago. Now I am 60 and watching it for the 3rd time around. I did grow up watching the reruns of the original George Reeves Superman. I love both shows but in different ways.
This is my Superman and the only Superman that’s correct! No one can do better than Tom welling
What about Christopher reeves
Kareena N nope only Tom
What about George Newbern? Tim Daly?
@@Ryder.Draconis DCAU represent!
Yes a Superman that doesn't want to be Superman. Hmm i believe they did that in a movie?
Everyone saying "it's what clark always wanted" on response to his crisis cameo dont seem to realise the entire arch of smallville was him getting over that and coming into his supeheroness. It doesnt line up with the whole show at all, just early seasons. And even then Clark's personality is that of a hero and a helper. He would have hated the idea everyone could die & he couldnt do anything.
Thank you! And that someone dying including Lois and his family he claims to care so much about, (on top of that innocent people from his earth that I'm pretty sure were not just sitting there wanting this to happen) there's no way he would have just set there and did nothing. I just don't and will not accept that as cannon, it doesn't lined up with what the show built. Also don't want to get into the whole timeline and how that was a continuity mess, considering where the flashforward of the Smallville timeline ended at. They were just messing with something that didn't need to be mess with. Should have left Smallville out of it.
@@telisanelson9284 plus lois would never allow him to do that. Shed either try to knock some sense into him or leave him so he could "be the hero he needed to be"
Agreed
@@runisa ->
Some say that Smallville was a successes because it came at time when America needed a Hero. It came out right after 9/11 and after the tragic attack. Many Americans needed something like a TV show about a beloved Hero to keep their sprits up.I love this show and I was very happy to see My favorite Superman getting to live a normal life with his love ones.
Smallville was one of my absolute favorite shows growing up. Unfortunately due to circumstances outside my control, I was only able to see seasons 1-3. Maybe now I will buy them all and watch them in all their cheesy 2000 special effects glory XD
please do. you wont regret it
I m right there with you , right around 2004 i was not able to watch it any longer due to weird circumstances back then with multiple jobs and school i had no life for a time, i think i caught like 2-3 episodes where they already had a green arrow but i then once more was not able to watch it and lost track of it
The first couple of seasons were the best anyway.
Yes, do it. It's worth it. That show was so good for me, it was more than just a show, it was an experience.
It's on hulu.
So many versions of Clark Kent but Tom Welling is the most iconic in my view
Christopher Reeve will always be the most iconic but tom welling is definetlyly the 2nd most iconic
Smallville was the best
Is*
Absolutely
I was in love with lana and lois. When I was a kid
keon barber same here. Especially Lois. Even now!
keon barber fuck Lana.
@@ottovonbismarck5007 😭😭😭
Lana sucked, Lois and Chloe were the best-
They kept the Lana drama a bit too long.... It still had fun parts.
Smallville will always be one of my favorite shows of all time.
That scene in Crisis was absolutely NOT closure in any way. That can be a "what if" parallel Smallville-like universe for all I care. It was NOT my Smallville. After everything that happened in Smallville; after seeing Clark grow up for 10 years of our own lives, grow into Superman, he did not just hang his cape up forever off-screen a couple of years later.
He did 🤣
Yes CW Crisis is not canon to Smallville
Well you have to remember in the new Multiverse things might have changed for him. Also it was what Clark always wanted. Even if it wasn't what we all wanted. Clark always wanted to be normal and have a normal life it was a fitting end for Clark Kent. Not so much for Superman though
I think it would have been a much more fitting ending if he'd gotten a sex change and become Wonder Woman.
@@manwithoutfear5415 I think that's moreso what Clark wanted in the first 5 seasons. The series was about his growth from that insecure teenager who just wanted to fit into the hero that would inspire generations of metahumans and extraterrestrials to come. There were glimpses of a life without powers for him. After he died in season 5 and Pa's life was exchanged for his, he had a better understanding of how selfish that would be for him. He also developed a stronger appreciation for the responsibility of his powers as more global threats arrived.
Smallville started it all
I miss Smallville so much
Let’s face it: the cast made the show. They could have done old Abbot and Costello routines and we would have loved it.:)
Okay now you have me picturing Clark and Lex standing around talking about who's on first. LOL 😂😂.
ROFL, that's true. I loved the whole cast. They were perfect!
Best versions of Lex, Lois and the Kents. And Chloe was my favorite character on the show. I had a huge crush on Alison Mack during the show. To this day Smallville is my favorite show.
@Kurt E. Clothier i was About to make similair comment
You're really eager of joining her sex cult gang?
somebody saaaaaaaaaaavvve meeeeeeeeeeee!
@Kurt E. Clothier I might have been game lol. Who didn't crush on allison mack and the possibility of free snacks ;P
@Kurt E. Clothier Still don't know why she did that like why ruin your life with such bullshit
Best Lois, best Lex since Gene Hackman and they've yet to find a better Lex. Oh yeah, the best Green Arrow too.
I was with you until the green arrow shit lol... arrow show had the best on screen green arrow... while the show turned the shit after the first 2 or 3 season's... a show as a whole isn't the same as just the character
@@youngrob2121 Arrow? What is this Arrow.....oh, wait, you mean the Olicity Show: starring Felicity Smoak and Wal-Mart Batman? You're entitled to your opinion, but I'm still going to say Smallville had a superior Green Arrow/Oliver Queen.
@@wendywillason3984 lol if you watch smallville arrow and the arrow show and watch their bow skills fighting skills acting skills character development act and you say smallville is superior more power to you, you're a brave man to go so long in life without wearing your glasses... but people like who they like... but in no way is smallville GA superior.
@@youngrob2121 that reminds me...Felicity Smoak? Blatant Chloe Sullivan clone. So y'all should thank Smallville because they showed the Arrow people what they should have been doing all along LOL
@@wendywillason3984 is that all you've got??? I'm talking about smallville GA verses the arrow show GA and all you keep talking about is felicity in every comment... when you have something credible to say about why smallville GA is better let me know.. but up until now you've said nothing worth of note
10 seasons happened to Smallville!
After a little bit of time to digest I disagree: I think the "Crisis" Smallville cameos were perfect. I wanted to see Tom have a bigger role (or maybe even wear a suit) too, but that's exactly what that version of Clark would have done. He always wanted to be normal, and kept trying to get rid of his powers lol. I think after years of hero-ing he would give up his abilities once he thought the world was safe, so he could live a normal life.
and then his whole world died, great job keeping it safe.
Srimanthula Bhadra it’s okay, Oliver died to bring it all back 😂
@@SSSVB1 What's Clark going to do against an anti matter wave?
@@Billyb311 same thing arrowverse characters did.
@@SSSVB1 lol I know right
After three seasons of the Freak of the Week format. They brought on Lois and I still believe she brought a real breath if fresh air to a show in need. Erica Durance played Lois longer than any actress before. She's always going to be the best Lois ever.
Screen Rant and Movie Web ranked all the Lois Lanes and Erica was number 1 on both lists!
This was my favorite show. It had a good soundtrack and was really unique at the time. Fit the culture of late 90's teen flicks with a superhero twist. It came out as I was entering my 20's. Now I feel old. Welling was a great Superman even though he never wore the suit. I think he disappointed fans by not doing so, but he did the character justice.
I loved this series! Smallville was great!
Man, where did the time go?
Vanished by anti matter
I’m rewatching the true Smallville none of this crisis crap I’m on season 8 and I love it
"crisis crap" is the true Smallville
Will Sondericker No it is not
@@Lordsnow17 Yes it is, the scene was even written by the same writers. You guys are acting like there has never been stories where Superman gave up his powers.
Yeah a time when A TV show didn't have any of the bullshit preachy social justice garbage. They even made fun of feminism on the show. The episode where the girls took over and had the guys doing their bidding. Lois Lane had the best burn against that shit. A time of true TV.
Wow, i actually give a shit what some random guy on the internet watches.
You know what? I also didn’t like Clark’s fate in the crisis. I felt like this should’ve been something where Clark could’ve been Superman, but this whole crisis thing would’ve been his first like BIG JOB where he has to step up to the plate and be more than the savior of earth, but the universe-hell. The multiverse. Lois could’ve been supporting him telling him he can do it and all that though Clark doesn’t believe he can do it initially but in the end is able to stand proud alongside the “Superman Returns” Superman and the “Supergirl” Superman. I mean, why not? He’d essentially be continuing his arc as Superman considering that he’d be saving people from other dimensions.
He always wanted a normal life right? Remember Season 1? Yes they gave him that
@@nexustri1146 They did, and it went line with his character arch in the beginning. That being said, most of Smallvilles fans truly wanted him to suit up and become the new face of Superman.
Yeah, you’re right. It’s just...man, I really wanted Superman
I never saw this series..did the Superman Returns Superman actually make an appearance?
In the S11 Comic book Superman fought the Antimonitor and kicked his ass. Smallville Earth would have been safe from the CW Crisis.
Too bad we never got a Smallville/Gotham crossover.
I mean it really wouldn't have worked but it would have been cool
I believe in smallville there were references to Gotham city but we never actually saw it or Batman
@@Dirty_Dan205 I think he was referring to the show. Not the actually city. Smallville wanted to use Batman but WB wouldn't allow it because of the dark Knight trilogy
Could have been interesting either way. Imagine if young Bruce figured out who the blur really was. Detective skills.
@@SharpDesign but the thing is gotham has a completely different tone than smallville. I don't think it would have meshed well
DOCTOR WHO is the longest running sci fi show ever not smallville
notice how he said “at the time”
Does this even warrant a video? It wasn’t exactly ended prematurely, it had 10 seasons.
Plus Clark did wear the suit...it ended with him donning the suit and becoming the Superman we all know..then turned into a comic post series
@@LouisianaBurns Tom welling never wore the suit
@@LouisianaBurns The comics don't count. Live action with Welling in the suit - there is no compromise.
I thought the video was gonna discuss what went wrong with the series in the later seasons.
Smallville comics should of showed us him giving up his powers
Yes
He probably got a hold of gold kryptonite.
*should have
Best comic book show ever hands down
I loved the Smallville nod in Crisis. I was a High School freshman when Smallville debuted and found myself growing up side by side with the show. After ten years and a ton of comics, Clark Kent deserved himself that happy, peaceful ending.
No, he deserved to embrace his destiny as Superman. That was what the majority of the show was all about, so his appearance in Crisis felt like a slap in the face to the ending of Smallville.
Fans spent 10 years waiting for Clark to become Superman only to find out later in Warmer Brothers Crisis of Infinite Earths that he gave up his Kryptonian powers. Why? To have a family even though Lex Luthor is free to do whatever evil he wants to. Wow! That was basically a humongous "F*CK YOU" to the loyal fans of the show who stuck with it for ten f*cking years. Unbelievable
Smallville is still the greatest superhero show ever created. Welling is only behind Reeve and Cavill as the best Superman incarnations ever. Routh being close behind.
I like Dean Cain more then Tom Welling as Superman.
@@mrbenwong86 Both are great
Loved the series.
I needed this closure THANK YOU
You should have watch crisis on infinite earths on cw that came Smallville it's spectacular ending
Alfred Gogh & Miles Miller banded together on the No Tights No flight rule in Smallville. Best Superman show ever made for sure.
It became a legend.
It’s crazy how the show evolved from season 1-5 and then 5-10. It went from a teen drama to a comic book adapted show.
Tom Welling is more handsome in this than Brad Pitt
It basically went from Smallville to Metropolis half way through the series.
I am currently watching it am midway season 2
its amazing
@@outtlaw324 yes it is
@couldn't think of a username its great now am at season 8 lol
Me too.
The better GreenArrow was here.
Actually, he was a more suited AquaMan, too.
He was good but Stephen did it better.
Supernatural picked up the pieces that was Left behind by Smallville, since they where able to carry the torch, But Since Arrow only could make it too 8 seasons, it worries me
I am actually more suprised Arrow made it to 8 seasons , by season 3 and 4 i was sure it would be canceled by somehow it managed to survive that long.
Supernatural with 15 seasons dam they pretty much cemented themselves as the longest running CW series in forever now.
@@GenOner CW revives a show even when it's bad 🤷
I have watched Smallville like 9 times now if not even more. Nostalgia and great story makes much which nowadays superman can't really reach (my opinion)
The "villain of the week" was the best part.
I loved the show, I still watch it to this day I don’t know how one can criticize the villain of the week format, without that there’s No show, what would Clark be doing every episode, feeding the horses, cleaning the barn... I do like that the later season got more balanced though with more ongoing arcs, I know some really critique the later seasons negatively but as a Superman fan my favorite seasons were 8,9 &10 because it started to feel like a Superman show with Clark’s Blur persona outfits, villains & other heroes.
Absolutely!!! Seasons 8 (minus 4 episodes), 9, and 10 were the freakin' BEST! 🤗😍
There are Many episodes in each of those seasons that I can watch Forever on an Endless loop!! ☺ Lois & Jimmy with Clark at the DP was refreshing and new. 🙂
Plus, season 6 was pretty great with the Addition of Justin Hartley and Aaron Ashmore. 💯 Perfect Casting!! and season 4... obviously! 😎
9, 10, 6, 8, 4. In that order.
The Blur was awesome. I always liked that addition. Also I loved The Blur suits like the trench coat and red leather jacket. Not sure why I loved those suits so much as a kid and I still love them to this day, theres something about them I just think it's cool but the whole story line was very awesome in my opinion.
Regardless of the continuity issues presented with the CW Crisis; I choose to believe that Smallville Season 11 takes place AFTER the CW Crisis. Therefore, Smallville Clark is still out there saving the day.
In Crisis he has kids... so... now you're just spewing garbage...
I miss this classic so much made my childhood so awesome..
I watch a smallville episode every day before work. Takes about a full year to finish the series that way. When it's done I start over.
Dawn Ostroff happened...🤬
She happened to a lot of shows, though only smallville and Supernatural overcame her.
SCREW GOSSIP GIRL!!!
Still a better Doomsday than Batman v. Superman
The buildup was great but the CGI sucked.
@@Big-guy1981 I mean at least he looked like doomsday in smallville. In BVS it looked..... Questionable
“It only lasted 10 seasons” that made me laugh lol
It's the first show which made Superman relatable by making it the story of Clark Kent...
Do you think this was... spectacular of the show?..
There are many Smallville questions that have never been answered. Why did Clark's ship fly into the tornado? Why did Clark lie to Lex about not knowing what the Kryptonian symbols mean? What happened to Isobel's spell book? What happened to Isobel? What happened to Lara? Why didn't Clark buy the Kawatche Cave? Where on the Kent Farm is Kara living? What happened to the pretty meteor freak girl that lives in Lana's house? Why didn't Clark mate with Raya? What happened to Namek's ship?
Kara time traveled did you not watch the show lol
He did not mate with raya because he does not love her he loves lois
Never really watched it. Saw some here and there but it never appealed to me like the arrowverse does. Maybe it's because I was younger then I don't know
This series also has the BEST live action Lois Lane! Erica Durance and the creators of this show CRUSHED it!
In my opinion Since he never wore the suit he was never Superman he was ONLY Clark Kent
I disagree. Clark giving up his powers in his cameo was a great 'conclusion' for Smallville.
Small town guy, living the simple life, completely happy and content. Also the world didn't seem dystopian so having lex as president may not be a bad thing after all.
@Maximus Prime His earth CAME BACK after the end of Crisis. The producers of the series Confirmed that. Just like the Other earths we saw.
Smallville needs a rest
One of the best (live action) Superman series of all time...and the man didn't even want to put on the costume.
Tom didn't want to get typecast like George Reeves did.
@@markcadieux3445 LIES. Tom has repeatedly said that Wasn't the case.
@@luckyjasonfan He might have said it more recently, but when the series was just getting started he did say it.
i personally think that clark kent's watch has blue kryptonite in it, allowing him to regain his powers when he takes it off (in the event of Lois's or his children's death either by him just out-living them or some tragedy)
It’s over as a show and ran as a comic series ?
Yes
"Longest running sci-fi series at the time" star trek and doctor who would both like to have a word with you
Star Trek's longest running shows only ever got to seven seasons and Dr Who wasn't released in America until the relaunched series with the Ninth Doctor.
@@TheMasterDeus ....it was on pbs in the 80s lmao wym also not being in America doses not take anything away from it running longer than smallville
@@TheMasterDeus Not to mention that you can barely count Dr. Who as long-running. More like most revived. That's why we refer to it by "doctor" and not by season.
OM19 MO79 Regeneration is not a ‘revival’ - and we also refer to classic era Dr Who by season - and it ran for 26 continuous seasons - so far longer than Smallville.
For a show that's nearly an hour long, has 23-24 episodes a season i gotta say never felt like I wasted a minute watching this gem of a show.
I just saw all the seasons, I'm actually rewatching the serie again in HBO Max (: I miss these guys
Honestly I was actually happy of the conclusion We got in crisis on infinite earths because well it does actually make sense while it wasn’t perfect it still was a good conclusion in my book, as for the show as a whole it was good but not perfect even I know that but as a Superman show it was tons of fun and awesome.
1. Chloe Sullivan was the Comic Book verison of Lana Lang.
2. The show became A Superman show just without Superman in it; Especially in the later half.
What do you think ?
@@savagedarksider5934 honestly i think both of those statements are highly accurate.
It was cool to see him in the last CW crossover.
I want another season in comic or live action giving more of an explanation of why he gave up his powers and how he gave up his powers
The Flash GOS he still has em
@@keegannicholas8053 now in his cameo in the crossover. He lost his powers in the live action the comic was before that
The Flash GOS ?
@@keegannicholas8053 crossover no powers. Comics powers. I want more comic to see how he lost his powers
Thanks for covering this. 🙏
You're welcome!... is what he would say, I'd assume... there are imaginary quotation marks around my... err, his statement also.
They cast the wrong guy for Clark lol
There still a multiverses the hero’s just don’t know it all earths frequency’s have change so that’s why they can’t find the earths they went to on earth 1 so smallville still exist
I like John Cryer, but he's a terrible Lex Luther. It's a shame Michael Rosenbaum didn't want to reprise the role.
Saaaaame. A lot of Supergirl's casting choices are horrendous. I can't see him as anything but Alan from Two & A Half Men, and that character is so damn unlikable.
I think he makes an interesting Lex Luthor never going to be as good as Michael Rosenbaum though I think Jon Cryer was it better Lex than the Batman vs Superman Lex Batman vs. Superman Lex just felt like a rich version of the Riddler
@@tobycase101 Right! 😂
One of the worst movie castings ever.
@@TigerWolf111 Honestly, I don't give A shit about smallville. The DCAU is far superior.
@@tobycase101 THE RIDDLER! Exactly. Jesse is a horrendous Lex Luthor!!
Smallville is Iconic lol
Smallville had the best Clark Kent and lex Luthor ever ro be portrayed in my opinion
Come on dude that was the best ending for clark. To see that he gave up his powers got married had kids and was leading a happy life was completely and truly satisfying for me
Not kidding. I didn’t found out this was a Superman show until after it had ended. It’s because I legitimately had been told nothing about it until after it ended. Nobody I knew talked about it. The advertising for this show didn’t exactly say it was about a young Superman, so to me it just looked like a generic adult show, so I didn’t pay any attention to it (mainly because I was a kid when it was airing)
this... this doesnt... wait wut??
Shane Johnson
There. Updated the comment so it makes more sense
Steven M Attrell I thought it was a Dawson’s Creek show. When it ended, I found out what it was and binged it all!
That sounds quite fascinating to me actually, viewing the show from that perspective. How did things change for you when you learnt it was a Superman prequel?
Tornado Chaser it became my favorite tv show of all time
I hate some of the things they did with the show. Lyla dying was so stupid! I hate seeing Clark denied his true self every time a character told him about his true self. Clark hated being called Kal and Lemon.
Simple, they refused to let him be superman, AND they continued calling it Smallville even after he moved to Metropolis.
I don't need to watch this to tell you... It built itself around a few main premises. Pillars. The Kent family, The Luthors, and Clark's love life. Jonathan dies, Martha slowly fades into the background as Clark grows up. Lex turns from friend to nemesis--a good story arc, but it had to end at some point... particularly when Michael Rosenbaum left the series around the same time Kristin Kreuk left. And she was the other pillar.
Love it or hate it, a major aspect of the show was that Clark Kent, without a doubt, unashamedly is in love with one girl: Lana Lang. He never had any room in his heart for other serious long-term love interest. Alicia was that one time when he was upset about not being with Lana and generally not thinking straight (+Red K), then I think there was a chick named Kyla who liked him and told him about his destiny before she died or something but he was only mildly interested IIRC, then Chloe was never even a blip on his radar even if she pined after him sometimes, and of course he showed zero attraction to Chloe's infamous cousin.... But he gets amnesia and falls in love the moment he sees Lana walking across the room because his heart remembers. And Lana was written in such a way that no matter how often he hurt her, she saw the good in him and couldn't help but love him. The writers wove them into the fabric of the show as the main couple, then refused to let them stay together for too long, constantly ripped them apart, tried to play the will they/won't they too long. And in doing so made Clark be supremely hurtful to Lana and pushed Lana towards the darkside.
After that they constantly wrote Lana, a survivor of emotional abuse and multiple traumas, into an unsympathetic character (but I refuse to hate her, Lana Lang is AMAZING).... until they could get rid of her and insinuate that Clark, who fundamentally was written to love Lana for 7.5 seasons, can now suddenly forget and move on with that annoying stray woman that his parents adopted in season 4 because she happened to be Chloe's cousin and had nothing better to do than to invade smallville with constant annoying quips and antics. Ahem. Anyway.
TL;DR: Smallville ended around season 7/8 when the Kents were gone, Lex, was gone, and Lana was gone. That is all.
What are your thoughts on the last 3 seasons?
@@tornadochaser2457 To be honest, I stopped watching after Requiem because there was almost no reason to keep watching. Especially since I knew about the "no flights, no tights" rule and Smallville was turning into Metropolis. I had lost a lot of my love for Clark over the years, I actively disdained lois, and I wasn't gonna watch show for... idk Chloe? Nah. The show lost the core dynamics that I loved.
@@ohifonlyx33 Why did you lose love for Clark, and disdain Lois?
ohifonlyx33 i will say the setting and the plot definitely changed when lex and lana left and they did kinda a different story line. But i still watched it to the end i personally enjoyed the show
@@ohifonlyx33 well lana didn't need to be there. She was gonna be replaced by lois either way. Lois is always Clark's endgame so lana should have left sooner if anything
Smallville was never a great show, but it was good and i enjoyed it.
Greatest theam song ever.
It only had 10 seasons is an oxymoron. The smallville comic was awesome. Its absolutely great
I miss the smallville universe
It has wasn't the greatest thing, but it was good. It holds a special place in my heart.
I don't mind the "Krypto-infected of the week" during the first couple of seasons because it doesn't make sense for Clark to learn to hone his abilities in a fight if the enemy is not somewhat equally matched. I also enjoyed Clark learning about his heritage and having to be careful with whom he discusses it. There's so much going on in this show and I love every moment of it.
Supernatural is on its like 100th season right now
My dad still rewatches the series every weekend
Ohh. I loved This series. Will never forget this one.
There is something about superman and the moral values they can still follow in his shows. Rebels can watch other shows. Everyone has a small bit within themselves that wishes the values their family instilled be shown in shows nowadays besides being an outcast, ill tempered, rule breaker of a success. Smallville was one of the last shows that could still carry those.
He has a happoy ending a family that he loves not like other that they have to fight over and over again.
