Smallville was a show that meant everything to me growing up in my childhood. Was always able to relate to Clark with what he went through in being an outsider, especially myself having a disability and being adopted. Smallville also taught me so much as all of Clark's lessons and what he taught really stuck with me and have hit much harder as an adult now. He had several great moments where he gave powerful speeches that really hit you hard. Tom may not have been Superman officially but he most certainly had the HEART and SPIRIT of Superman which was always so evident. So yes Tom has and always forever is my Clark Kent and Superman. Justin Hartley was also absolutely my Oliver Queen/Green Arrow. And he was most certainly a better version then Stephen Amell's on the Arrow series, who on the Arrow show has come off as a little bit of a wuss at times. Justin's Oliver/Green Arrow on Smallville was absolutely more accurate to the comics, with his personality, skills, costume, feats, arsenal and even hair color all based more off comic lore. Smallville was most certainly a timeless classic of a series that has already begun to stand the test of time (It has already had it's full 20th anniversary.) and is still talked about today and fondly remembered by so many. Myself included for all it brought me and has continued to give me.
@@unknownvenusstar1402 My opinion is that I think Zack Snyder is a hack. Where’s the respect for that? As a matter of fact, what’s funny is that you think you have the right to say “don’t go there” because you’re upset your favorite hack director was mentioned. Your opinion doesn’t mean anyone else’s shouldn’t go out the window.
He has a point..Instead of sitting on the sidelines and complaining he's actually doing something about it. That takes guts especially when your life is on the line.
That’s what really got me about SJW’s and current woke Culture most of them sit on their asses and don’t do shit worth while to Society yet feel entitled to tell everyone else how they should live.
One of my favorite things about this scene is how much progression it shows in Oliver's character and his relationship with Clark. He went through so many downs to come out of it knowing he's a hero and gained a friend who helped him have the confidence to own it and show people who he really is.
As much love as these superhero shows get nowadays, both Marvel and DC.. Smallville will forever be the greatest and my favorite of all time. Show had its downs, but I’ll take those downs over most of the shows we get nowadays.
I heard that they had to put some specific things in place to ensure that Justin didn't take over the show before they brought him on as a regular cast member. I think it was due to his popularity and also the character himself. I didn't know it at the time but looking back at it now, its no wonder. He was cool as Green Arrow. Wish they gave Amell's Arrow more of his persona.
Well due to The Dark Knight's success CW just ripped off their premise and character to transplant onto Arrow. Ironically, that is why the Green Arrow comics were invented as a copy of Batman so they could get great sales from both.
@@kinghess9956 It's ironic; The criticisms made in the past are more valid today than ever, and that's exactly why they'd never be aired now. Makes you wonder whose agenda we serve.
Justin Hartley was a far better and comic accurate Green Arrow (even his raw abilities, skills and feats were greater than that of Stephen Amell's version) which is why DC comics used Justin Hartley's likeness as Green Arrow in the comics and made it canon. Stephen Amell's Green Arrow was literally Batman LITE
@@2Good2BeTrue45 Exactly. Arrow felt like a show made by people who only read Longbow Hunters (Which was itself a Frank Miller Batman/Daredevil copycat) and no other GA comics. Justin Hartley felt like the character I would read in runs like The O’Neil GL/GA run.
I liked Justin and he definitely is more comic book accurate but I would not have cared for a show built around the comic book green arrow. Amell is a phenomenal actor and really works well with David Ramsey as Dig. Pretty sure they did arrow like that because they couldn’t do batman and arrow was very much influenced by batman
I'll add my voice to the chorus singing praises of Justin Hartley's Green Arrow! He was wonderful and I loved Smallville so much! He and Welling were perfectly cast for their respective roles!
I actually watched smallville first time in 2015 & immediately it was one of my favorite show .The dialogue & acting of this show is really another level & don't forget the song collection
And again there also some moments in the show wouldn't work today, like everytime Clark looking at Lana through a telescope, the internet would be like "Superman is a stalker" like that
Watching her through a telescope was not as bad as looking through the walls into the girls locker room with his x ray vision! Granted, it was an accident. First time he discovered that power. But he didn't look away and had a big smile on his face!
@@hefoughtabear118 I did think he was being a creeper because I didn't get why he didn't smash through. Cause I thought the girl she met was the girl he was looking for. It makes more sense a bit later when we see the result though.
Actually it is arguable that without Smallville we might not have the Arrowverse, Supergirl and all the rest. It paved the way showing that the audience for this genre was out there. My kids loved this show growing up and I felt good watching it with them. My daughters loved the kind of man Tom portrayed. Clark was a super man!
This show is so slept on. When people ask what my favorite show is and I say smallville I get upset because no one knows what it is and it honestly is one of the best superhero shows, especially for when it came out. Now we have all these other superhero cw shows that are just awful and trying to hard to just rake in money while this show actually told a great story of Clark, a man becoming what he was destined to be and his journey with that.
That’s because the people who started the show al gough and miles Miller were huge Superman fans that wanted to infuse relatability into Clark’s pre Superman journey. It also helps the writing and acting was just 100 times better than the majority of current superhero shows.
Everyone says that Smallville doesn't have the story/emotional impact cuz it's "old". It proves every decade why it's still one of THE best superhero shows ever created. But they should've brought back Welling, Rosenbaum, and Hartley back for the Crossovers.
To be honest, i hated what they did to this Clark in the crisis. I'm still salty as hell about it because i was excited to see "my" Clark in the crisis as one of the paragons. I was wrong unfortunately
@@jonathanwood7079 For sure, for sure. But then TW would've needed to be Superman again, and the would've needed to de-age Welling for that, but for what they did, I was disappointed, but it makes sense. Better hope Lucifer doesn't visit Smallville and think Clark's Cain again lol
Don't forget, Green Arrow almost didn't happen, at least not with Justin. Originally he was going to be Aquaman and even filmed a pilot but it wasn't picked up.
Justin Hartley was great as Green Arrow!! I just loved his take on the character!! He was a great addition to Smallville for the later seasons. He and Erica Durance actually help take the show to a higher level!!
Oliver really put that woman in her place, she had no right to say all that without knowing the full story, reporters are not supposed to be biased but like so many today she seems to have forgotten that rule
This reporter should be fired, she literally should be fired for the gaslighting she did in this interview…I KNOW SHE ISNT REAL but my point still stands
Oliver queen from smallville is a fucking legend and he deserves respect. Much love to you mr queen and good luck, fuck all of those pansy ass people who complain to much.
As a conservative, Oliver Queen is my favorite lefty 😂 I miss the times where heroes with completely different opinions about politcs could still be friends, like Hawk and Dove, Green Lantern and Green Arrow, Icon and Rocket, etc...
The only reason Green Arron is in the show is because the writers and producers couldn't put Batman in it due to the Nolan movies at the time. Now, while I would've loved to have seen Smallville tackle a parallel coming-up story for Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne (a character who would've probably better replaced the early season dynamic that Clark and Lex had that was so great,) I'm so glad they went with Hartley's king of Queens instead. Batman gets too much of the spotlight anyways and they didn't try to just do Batman anyways with their Oliver. Their Oliver had the charm and positivity and even occasionally the political leaning of the comic books. Literally, the only thing he's missing is a bit of the gruffness, but the character is not a 100% gruffness like Amell's Arrow. So the optimism is the more important distinguishing attribute between Queen and Wayne. Literally, the only better (and perfect) version of the character is in Justice League Unlimited.
This was the closest SV ever got to being political and thats why it was great in 2001-2011. Now it would have been woke crap like most shows. GA was always liberal where Hal Jordan was more conservative yet they worked together alot.
I watch this show every year. Ive seen it countless times and i gotta say it will always have a special place for me. Such a shame CW is utter shit now. Cant have a single show that isnt littered with cringe dialogue and trash writing, influenced by SJW snowflakes and political agendas. Makes me glad this came out when it did so it wasnt plagued by this new era of sensitive cry babies.
@@martinacosta3821 Ive been watching it. Its a step up from Flash and Arrow imo but nothing can capture the feel of Smallville for me. Its just the time we live in now so its understandable. In the latest episode of S&L half of it is taken up by some family drama that has no bearing on the overall plot and is just boring to watch. I would rather wait for a single great episode that hits every mark than have a half assed one that feels like filler. Still a good show nonetheless.
@@icarusflys6856 You do understand that there were some SJW sentiments in this very video. Smallville was not afraid to take a stance. I think why this show is good is because Clark is made up of the world, liberal and conservative views. Ollie was kind of a leftie, and some of the things he said would have made certain parties froth at the mouth. I understand what you're saying but it is a little more nuanced is all
Superhero stories in particular have always had a ton of political and social commentary. CW’s problem is that they have a bunch of writers and show runners that don’t know how to surround it with good storytelling and character development.
Was literally about to comment this same thing people in today's society don't deserve a show this Good and they wouldn't have appreciated it enough at alllll
Any great writing story or drama or just anything has timeless properties that surpass fads. Like All in the Family, The Wire, Westwing, Bob Newhart could come out in any decade and do well. Same with novels and music. David Bowie, would work in just about any decade as well.
But would it actually be made probably gender bend some characters maybe race swap others would they even use said actors. I'm glad was out when it was. They did do great job.
Everything about this was gold I love how he was trying to better than other rich people (drilling oil, looking for tax breaks barbed wires fences meant to keep out immigrants who only want what our grandparents wanted) 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻oof this definitely would have hit even harder today.

Build the WALL. High and Wide. Don't worry. There will be a door. People will just have to LEGALLY ASK to come in. And there's NOTHING WRONG with that.
Also sucks that Justin never got to return as Green Arrow in any of the current cross-overs, even as an alternate version.
He was meant to star in Arrow but when the CW decided to make it completely seperate they chose to get a new actor
@@kobi7955 Yeah that’s what I mean, they brought Welling back for a cameo, but they couldn’t give him the same respect? That’s low lol.

Stephen Amell did such a great job. Although I like them both, I like Amell more.
Smallville was a show that meant everything to me growing up in my childhood. Was always able to relate to Clark with what he went through in being an outsider, especially myself having a disability and being adopted. Smallville also taught me so much as all of Clark's lessons and what he taught really stuck with me and have hit much harder as an adult now.
