Should have talked about the fact that he was considered a loser in school even though he looks like he should be the hottest guy at the school....
also hes like 30
I'm sure he was cool I think he was just overweight.
I haven't watched the video so IDK what your talking about lmao
TheColorBlue how you overweight when it’s all muscle ???
B Monti you have 666 likes before I like yours I saved you from the devil
The “are you man or Superman” line is actually kind of clever. Clark is reading Nietzsche, the philosopher who wrote about the Übermensch, roughly translated as “over” or “super” man. She’s making a reference to the book and accidentally to Clark himself. It’s probably one of the smartest things that ever happened on this show.
You're smart.
I don't know there was that episode whee the air force recruiter said "I see you flying around in uniform saving people"....that was.....kind of forced and ham fisted.....😏
Yes, it's the very line that first inspired the creation of the idea of superman's character.
Sorry for not noticing before that the word "of" above was replaced with "pig" by my phone's autocorrect. It often replaces "of" with "pig" or with the meaningless letters "oig". It replaces "and" with "Abd". I don't always catch it before hitting send from my phone.
You're right. It is a very clever line. I actually didn't get that line until pretty recently. I always assumed it was a cheesy way to have them use the word, Superman. But it's actually a smart way of using his famous name and referencing it whilst ALSO being a reference to the book he's reading. (It's also the only time the name Superman was used until the last few minutes of the finale when Chloe was reading her son a comic book called Superman about her best friend. Though they used the name Superboy once in like the first season when the guy accidentally stole Clark's powers by being electrocuted while holding green Kryptonite started using his powers pubically at their high school. Chloe dubbed him Superboy in the Torch, the school newspaper at Smallville High school. Though no one ever called Clark himself Superboy sadly.)
I mean its not smart. The fact someone created superman from the ubermensch just means the person didnt understand the concept at all
"They find a naked little boy in a corn field" 😂😂
Do you wanna make a wish?

Tom Welling wasn't experienced when he started Smallville because this was one of his first roles in his acting career. I would give this video credit if it was based on the 5th season, which created a gateway for other superhero shows like this one. This show is not meant for those who want to know more about Superman but those who want to know more about Clark Kent. If you are interested in a heck of an origin story, this is the perfect show for you.
As a huge Smallville fan, i cant have put it any better. But remember that this not only the origin story of Clark Kent but also Lex Luthor... And also the perfect mixture of action, adventure, drama, romance and comedy makes this show special
Somebody saaaaavvvvvveeeeee me. Smallville was the best superhero show ever on television & I still love it to this day.
Gotham is the second best. but Smallville oh my god
Gotham I don’t think it’s good
Arrowverse
It waaaas. And the theme soong
Gotham is my fav, and legends of tomorrow.
It got better. Plus, it had a lot going for it from the beginning. What they did with Lex Luthor was kinda genius. For real a great adaptation.
IKR. This was one of the first shows I really binged and it was great.
Lex is my favorite character!
Smallville's Lex Luthor was always my favourite live action portrayal. ❤️
BvS coulda used this guy playing Lex.
Yeah its still the best representation of Lex Luthor to date.
Still, Lex Luthor from Smallville is still the best Lex Luthor to date.
Thanks in no small part to Michael Rosenbaum! :)
kousetsuhana aka Flash, aka Martinex
This is an objective fact.
Yes
And he voiced flash
what i find funny about smallville is that actors and actresses from teen wolf, vampire diaries, and supernatural were in smallville way before or during the shows lol
Teen wolf?
Forgive me i am binge watching smallville I have seen Paul wesely (Stefan Salvatore ) Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore ) FROM TVD
Jason( Jenkes Anckles) Supernatural but who was from TEEN wolf. .I haven't finished the series yet ? Just curious

Don't forget how ridiculous it was that Clark was 14 in that episode
Isabel Cooke
14 ? Noo Noo Noo, he looks like 25 not even make up can hide this
Puberty is no joke.
Isabel Cooke wait..he is supposed to be 14 or the actor is 14?😅
He was 24 but he was playing a 14 year old
HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 14?
I always thought he was like 17-18ish and let it pass lmfao
I love how Clark is supposed to be a "freshman" when in fact he looks older than a high school senior. The things you don't think about as a kid. 😁
By this standard of kids today, he'd fit right in. Knew a 10 grader who look like a grown ass man.
I think actors had to be at least 18 or older to play teenagers in shows back then. Weird rule, I know.
Well, Tom Welling, the actor who portrays Clark, was 24 at that time. Back then they had people in their mid to late twenties playing high school students.
not really. They are better actors and do not have to comply with a whole bevy of regulations dealing with younger people.
its tv duhhhhhhhhhhhh
the weirdest thing about the show is that nobody finds creepy that Clark have a telescope constantly aiming at Lana's house
hervé Gauthier It is creepy until you know him
@@justarandomguywantingtostu6539 No, even when you know Clark, it is still creepy. Cause think about it, he is a good superpowered samaritan one day, and a peeping tom the next. That is the actions of someone with MPD.
Pretty sure alot of characters point this out, Lana being the first but Clark plays it as being a coincidence. She did bring it up at some point that it makes him look like a stalker, but knowing how this show worked she was being evil.
@@Champsr0ck2247 Actually i think she was okay with it. Literally he was upset with her moving because he can't watch her sleep through his telescope anymore. He had dreams of developing the power of flight and flying into her bedroom and seeing her sleep there too.
A lot of characters note how weird it is
One of the things that I notice, looking back, was that Smallville was one of the last shows where a strong father figure and family (mother and father working together) were emphasized. Clark's entire character development (morality, sense of worth, need to sacrifice, sense of justice, etc.) was shaped/influenced by strong men (Jonathan Kent, Jor El and even some by "the emissary of Jor El") and woman (Martha Kent). And they portrayed that without feeling the need to look down on the men in the show. Nowadays, it's all about either an evil dad, a deadbeat dad, amoral dad, an absent dad or some combination. Even though the characters were cookie cutter (after all, it's a superhero origin story), every character (men and women) was well portrayed and developed. That extends to the villains too in spite of the fact that they were flawed. Well, there were some really bad episodes and characters too. As you pointed out, the show was not without its flaws and I'll add that nothing's ever perfect anyway.
thats something i loved about the start of the series, it put a lot of thought on clarks family. which is a big part of clark kents character. a lot of people just kinda throw in the parents and jonathan's death but they deserve so much more. they are the entire moral center and reason why clark is the way he is, and the family really shows how much they care about each other.
@@captaincaterpie agreed!
@@user-xk8wp4bg3x this is very confusing because you worded " And they portrayed that without feeling the need to look down on the women in the show." like they were without a feeling looking down on women. I know you meant something else but can you please fix it so that people like me won't find it misleading?
@@idontknow_whattowritesooo130 : Thanks. I corrected that. Yes. There was a typo when I wrote that original comment. Looking back, it might have been auto correct or me just typing as quickly as possible before I forgot the idea that I was trying to convey. I have corrected it to reflect what I was going for. I wanted to say "men". Cheers.

Why did it take like 10 seasons before Clark learned to fly?
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's on the ground!
Because characters who can fly make things too easy I guess?
SylenDraws hey person from DC
SylenDraws He needed to except his Kryptonian Side, that’s why it took him a long time to get some of his powers, he only saw the bed of his kryptonian Heritage so he wanted nothing to do with it and that stopped him from getting all of his powers, that’s what I think, God I sound like a total nerd lol

Smallville drinking game, drink whenever:
-Clark superzooms away and whoever's left behind looks around confusedly.
-Clark, Lana or Lex demands truth or honesty from someone (usually each other) while simultaneously lying to their face.
-Someone rips open Clark's shirt.
-Clark needs to seduce a girl for distraction.
-Chloe explains something obvious to Clark.
-Chloe does some amazing computer hacking.
-Somebody barges uninvited into Lex's office.
-Lionel appears in Lex's office to taunt him.
-Lex/Lionel pours himself a whiskey (extra drink if the whiskey glass then gets smashed during the scene).
-Clark goes to Lex's house/Lex goes to Clark's house to have a 2 minute conversation.
-Martha and Jonathan give each other a meaningful look.
-Jonathan gets knocked out.
-The Kents' home gets trashed.
-There's a close-up shot of Lois' boobs.
-Somebody gets a convenient amnesia or memory loss after seeing Clark using his powers.
-Clark gets to be out of character for an episode.
Am I forgetting anything?
ragnaice u forgot lana and chloe never trusting clark in the high school seasons 😂
- Clark tells someone he is/was just trying to protect them.
Lois getting a concussion.
Every time Clark tells someone, "We need to get you to a hospital!"
All very good. ;D I also forgot whenever Clark mysteriously just gets away with not answering any (true!) accusations or suspicions against him with anything other than a puppy dog/brooding look..
Smallville was hilarious. The actors were well chosen for their roles, Lex and his dad were great villians. I still remember the producers of this show saying that when Clark learned to fly the show would end...
There were a umm few loopholes to the whole "No tights, no flights" rule
Lionel Luthor was an incredible villain.
@@President_Mario Lionel ended up being a good guy. Well, he was the one that inherited the essence of Jarrel, and helped Clark.
I had love lex and lionel great actors
@@DerekThomasLirio depends which Lionel you're talking about ;)
Smallville paved the way for arrowverse. Watch closely, even the themes and storylines are similar. Meteor infected sounds similar to the flash and metahumans and darkmatter infected. Just repackaged differently.
Both of those shows are trash compared to Smallville
Bee Xiong There were very similar concepts and story arcs that are paralleled with super girl.
For one Reign, who followed supergirl to earth and had an evil alter-ego which can be compared with Davis blooms/doomsday who would also black-out( his actor was agent liberty on supergirl too)
Brainiac/Braniac 5 on smallville compared with brainiac 8 (Indigo, acted by Laura vandervoort who played supergirl in smallville)
The legion on smallville coming back in time to save their future just like supergirl and their legion with characters acting very similar I believe exact characters being reference between each other
Different kryptonite affects episodes, like red kryptonite infected Kara and Clark
Tess Mercer - Lena Luthor
Both martiAn manhunters, had similar voices and how they portrayed the characters
And even more comparisons, it’s crazy how much of a influence smallville had on supergirl and even other shows on the arrow verse
Metahumans were even mentioned once by chloe around season 6 or 7 (I just finished watching it through again) so they're not meant to be synonymous but different ways to introduce the one-episode villains. They didn't try to explain bart's (impulse/flash family) powers because it was more about clark's villains and meteor infected just was the way most of the villains got their powers. I do not know how the people get their powers in the comics so I don't know if superman's villains got their powers from kryptonite aswell. It's like you say though, repackaged differently. The meteor powers just fit in more with Clark Kent and the meteor shower, and the metahumans just fit the particle accelerator for barry allen. "stick to the theme"
It was the first of its kind!

This show is still better than most shit on netflix. Its totally a product of its time but Most shows still haven't even matched the heart that this show had. Its definitely not for everybody but theres denying how much this show got right and how creative it got in terms of adapting the material to make it work for the universe built in the show..
it lasted for 10 seasons, that says a lot (these days they shit out one show after another and have it cancelled after 2 or 3 seasons... I mean, yeah, Arrow has 8 seasons, that's pretty close, I guess... the Flash has 6 and was renewed for 7th...)... OK so it doesn't say a lot, but you said it: it has heart... the shit nowdays has what? Identity politics!
@@ArinJager1 I just finished all of Smallville and it's way better then the DC movies they've been coming out with but Wonder Woman and Shazam we're good
@@dreed138 aquaman was OK, too, no? Smallville is good... I use it as benchmark, when stuff's like smallvile, it's good (Ben 10 second season, aka Alien Force... I mean, yeah, it's animated, but... and I mean the original run, not the new shit, ugh... Generator Rex, also good... also animated, fuck! >x< I mean these are watchable as if they were live action... anything by Man of Action... uhm, excuse my derailed tangent)
That's because the first seasons where for pre teens and instead of staying like this it grew up with the audience
It was a very weird show. But in a lot of ways it was ahead of its time. It gave us the best on screen Lex Luthor of all time (irrefutable), the best on screen Green Arrow of all time (don't @ me), showed us Superman actually struggling, and some moments in the show are still pretty well written. It also had a lot of problems, but overall I look back on it very fondly.
Fun fact: the last episode aired on my birthday.
Whoa......whoa.....the best green arrow?!🤨
True💯😁
But I’m liking Stephen A. arrow too bad he doesn’t have a Chloe.
Also; My Birthday Friday 9/14
@@SWAYY21 Yeah I've come to love Stephen as well bro, its just I prefer the comic book accurate version. The light hearted quippy guy, who has some problems but has a heart a gold. Rather than CWs version which is kinda just Batman with a bow.
@@SWAYY21 also Chloe is my fav character on the show. So mad Clarke never chose her over Lana, she was clearly the better choice.
Firstname Lastname
That was more of a comic thing, since Clark first had Lana Lang and then Lois Lane, so they just tried to follow the comics in that regard
Also Lana is much easier to dispose for Lois than Chloe since she remained an important character from start to finish, would’ve been hard to give them the dynamic they had by the end of the series if they came off a break up
Hell yeah! I love this show. It's one of my favorites, second only to Doctor Who and possibly tied with Supernatural. It's amazing. I never liked Superman until Smallville. And I totally agree about Michael Rosenbaum being the best Lex of all time. He played that role perfectly and the writing was fantastic.

"Green stone"
DC Fans: TRIGGERED.
LOL YEEESSSS
Triggered af
I am so triggered right now, I have friends that barely even now D.C. and even they know its called kryptonite
I was too triggered
Damn relatable
Weird, I'm a DC fan and I wasn't triggered when Alex said "green stone" because the green meteor rock in the show isn't called Kryptonite at first. Most of the time, especially in the first 3 seasons of the show, the "green stone" is referred to as green meteor rock because:
1.) Clark is still figuring out his extraterrestrial heritage
2.) Clark keeps his friends in the dark about him not being human until he can't anymore
3.) Clark doesn't learn the name of his home planet, Krypton until later in the series
4.) The humans on planet Earth, besides Martha and Jonathan Kent and Clark's friends when they eventually learn the truth, don't call the green meteor rock Kryptonite because they don't know the green meteor rock is called Kryptonite
and
5.) The term "Kryptonite" isn't used until at least the 4th and/or 5th season
Also, Kryptonite IS a green stone made from the green meteor rock that crash-landed on Earth due to being in the gravitational pull of Clark's escape shuttle/ship. So calling Kryptonite a "green stone" is still accurate and correct.
Note: I get that OP's comment is a joke, however not all DC fans get "triggered" by something so pointless and benign as calling Kryptonite a "green stone" because Kryptonite IS a "green stone" that once made up the fictional planet Krypton before the planet was sadly destroyed because of a devastating civil war where no side won and a whole species/race was completely erased from existence leaving one single ray of hope to fly through the universe and land on a planet called Earth in the tail-end of the Milkyway Galaxy.
He's supposed to be 14 in here? wtF
I like ur pic 💜👌
TV shows always use people over their mid 20s to depict "teenagers", then actual teenagers get brainwashed...

well obviously they couldn't cast an actual 14 year old and hope he'll grow to be 6'4" ~225 lbs when he's 20. and they can always just say hey, he's not human, so fuck off. I never really thought about it, cause he played naive very well in my opinion. still my favorite Clark Kent of all time.

Smallville is still the best superhero show even after all this time.
Crazy combat......... Clark vs. Sam, Dean, Castiel, Bobby, etc...... who could win or would they team up?
I didn't watch the whole series but from what I remember everyone and their dogs mother had Kryptonite, so no, its not the best super hero show ever... that's like saying you like the seasons of the Flash that aren't against speedsters, they all have some sort of power dampner and the Flash might as well not have super speed...
Metal Head hey i’m not saying it was good, because now looking back some things definitely could’ve been better. but for 2001 (in my opinion) it was one of the best.
You should see the 90s DC animations.
You just gonna say this when shows like BTAS, Spectacular Spider-Man, JL/JLU, Teen Titans, Dardedevil, and Young Justice.

Oh my gosh my heart jumped when I saw the Smallville title. It was and still is literally my favorite show of all time.
Agreed. I feel like I did my daughter a solid bit of culture when I introduced her to Smallville. Now she's hooked and watching it through for the first time. It's like I'm experiencing it all over again through her eyes.
Clark is a 35 year old highschool student
This is totally b.s. but here's why. He has super speed where basically he slows time down for everything except him so he seems to be moving super fast. Since he's moving fast compared to us he ages faster too, like if 1 second to us is 100 seconds to him. When he's asleep he can't control it and "moves at super speed" and sleeps like a week his time but only a night for us, not every night but enough. So even though he's only been on earth for like 11 years it's been like 20 to him.
He is only 41 in 2018 so he was only 22 or 23 at the time.
You ever see BH 90210 😂
he was 25 at that time

It's not the show's fault. Also, I look at it like, the character isn't the actor and vice versa. It's still a good show regardless.
Another actor who's nothing like the character? Michael Rosenbaum, who played Lex Luthor. He's actually really nice and funny in real life. I've never met him obviously but I listen to his podcast. And if you watch outtakes from the show, you'd see he was like the class clown of the cast xD

How about the fact that Lana, Lionel, Lex, Johnathan , Martha and Chloe probably received about an average of 12 concussions throughout the series without seemingly any ill affects and no consideration of re-evaluating their lifestyles to stop them.
Well, think about it. It’s a show based on a comic book series about an alien from another planet with super powers. Toss in green rocks that can give normal humans freaky abilities and I’d say it’s not really so bizarre, at least not enough to make anyone do some re-evaluating of themselves.
People suffering severe head trauma repeatedly with no negative long term effects is probably my most hated trope in fiction at this point.

It's the OG show that inspired all the Arrowverse shows. But they fucked those up. There is no replacement for Smallville.
I don't understand people that like smallville, everyone and their dogs mother had kryptonite from what I remember, If I wanted to watch a soap opera then i'd watch one... Its the same thing as when the Flash isn't fighting a another speedster, the show is very boring and he might as well not even have super speed..
Metal Head You are somewhat correct. The problem with Flash is that the show has sooooo many ‘filler’ episodes that are so boring it just makes you lose interest. An episode i can think of would be Run Iris Run. What a shit that was.
Nigga shut your ass
This was actually such a good show.
its the best superman show/movie of all time.
It was an amazing show
Yea
Right!
Exactly
SMALLVILLE WAS A TREND SETTER!!!The show was Superb
The real bad part of this series, every episode is Clark says "person X is dangerous", Lana then says "you're just jealous" , then later in the episode it comes to pass that Clark was right. You'd think after enough times of him being right, that his friends would actually begin to believe him or something.
Yeah, they definitely followed plot formulas, so they were pretty predictable. Like most anytime sum1 figured Clark out they either died, got amnesia, or got sent away somehow. But I loved watching it play out anyway, and it gave me chuckles.
He only called others dangerous when they got Lana's attention or threatened to take his superhero limelight.
That was the first 4 seasons. The show got better after that.
KillaSin515 if you have to wait four seasons for a show to get better the show is shit.
@@TheKekethatsGenderfluidDuh First of all I did not say the show sucked in the first 4 season. I said it got better. The first 4 season were fine. If it wasn't....it would have not lasted to 4 seasons. The show got better after season 4 and it got better again after season 7. So....so much for you claiming it was shit. It lasted 10 seasons. Not many shows run 10 seasons 200+ episodes.
Judging Smallville by it's Pilot Episode,Now that's Weird
Pretty fair, that's how networks judge whether a show is worth producing any further. That's why you can find pilots for more things that failed to go anywhere than not. Although I agree with your point, it'd be interesting to hear an opinion about a whole season overall.
@@13realmusic true but most shows get better after the pilot. The pilot has to explain the characters background, set the foundation of the story and the tone of the show. While it is one of the most important parts, all of these can sometimes make it less entertaining, cheesy and repetitive. You really cannot judge the quality of a show by the pilot
@@megkrish7568 Well you can, if you want to start a new show and the pilot is bad, then why would you continue? The pilot is basically whether you want to continue the show or not.
@@ioahII yea I get the mentality, if the pilot is irredeemably bad I wouldn't want to continue watching either but from my experience I've seen many good shows that didn't start well but finds their footing in later episodes. If the premise is interesting, I would give it a few more episodes is all
@@megkrish7568 to be honest, i 100% know what you mean.
So weird seeing Allison Mack all cute and innocent
I had a crush on her back in day lol I always pick The Crazy Ones
@@oliversacco7320 me too
She was innocent in the earlier years until she got mixed up with reneer or whatever that guys name is that was the head of that sex cult.
Ubermensch/ Superman although I don’t think she was ever innocent, just in the show.
@@victormc2207 She wasn't always with that sex cult she joined in her later years.
Smallville = One of the best shows in quality writing and acting and times of WB before CW completely... now Arrow/etc are just fifth rate stories. The last few seasons weren't the BEST but still better than what is on CW/ABC/etc now.
jj bee Hahahahahahaha, no it is not. I just watch it because of the big picture of the story. The majority of the episodes are 4/10 but the few good ones make it worth it, and i love how they build the overall story
@@justarandomguywantingtostu6539 yea shut up
@@theseventhsin2783 Man, it is true, but still have watched the 10 seasons 2 times
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Not even close
Back when every girl who watched this show had a crush on Tom Welling (including me) 😂😂
Nah, it was Erica Durance.
Hell I even had a crush on him.
Before he became a ass in Lucifer 😱
I had a crush on him too and I'm straight 😂😂😂... I wanted to be him not with him tho .😂😂🙌🏿
Same! He was my first celebrity crush lmao
Bro… I only discovered Smallville last year as a 22 year old who was a baby when it came out. It is now one of my favorite shows of all time. During the first season it’s finding it’s footing but by season two, the character development and story arcs are off the charts! Helped me get though grad school lol.
Honestly, you should do American Horror Story...
American horror story is a masterpiece Lol
Smallville was the first show I ever truly got into but I was a kid and Tom Welling was my first crush. I love this show so much. It will always remain in my heart💗
Same!
YES tom welling is amazing
twilightx omg me too
@@mng519 lmao my bi ass had crushes on all of them, but god, hell yes to Chloe, she was my fav character.
No Nietzsche coined the phrase superman in that book, so the comment was relevant even in the show.
Duhhhhhhh
I was looking for this comment... so I guess the youtuber doesn't get the joke
Actually its übermensch
I *think* he knew that, he just didn't consider it a clever joke, so he has an unsophisticated sense of humor.. On the other hand, if you're right, and he didn't know it, that's pretty bad.
@@StRanGerManY Which is usually translated as superman, which, I think, the young Siegel and Schuster were well aware of when they created him.
Smallville was able to forge a compelling plot with excitement and poise, while still having the cheese of the early 2000s.
Nicely put. Agreed
How dare you! Smallville was a god damn masterpiece in it's time!
(Let's not talk about the last few seasons...)
Laurensji 9 was pretty decent and I liked 10. 7 and 8 though got rough.
Season 4, 6 and 9 were incredible! But unwatchable here in Germany. Episodes cut down to 30 Minutes . 2 Episodes of Season 6 have aired here at night because of the brutality.. but i didnt care ,watched it after the us premiere anyway. :-) And i thought the Series Finale was pretty decent !
I agree with you however season 8 was my favourite season, season 10 however wasn’t the best
thanks..you just said what i said...more or less
Has it really been almost 20 years??? Wow. I loved this show like crazy when i was growing up that i still remember most of the plot lines now. It went really wacky later on lol. I actually re-watched all 7 seasons of Buffy a couple of months ago and it still holds up today. I was really surprised by how enjoyable it was. It was great. Gotta love these older shows
Smallville was one of the best shows ever made. It's personally my favorite tv show of all time. If you haven't watched it, give it a shot now. I rewatch it all the time and it's still so good. They portrayed clark and lex perfectly. But everyone else was perfect too! (Loved Jonathan Kent) my favorites were seasons 1-4, I enjoyed the high school life the most. This show is actually realistic as it shows superman is in no way invincible and goes through struggles every day. Tom Welling is the best Superman by far.
I agree smallville was very good show.
@Sam Lindsay I thought season 10 was fantastic, but the show went downhill as soon as Lex got killed off. He was perfect.
I mean no, its not one of the best shows ever made. That would be The Wire, sopranos, carnivale, Rome, deadwood
I mean yes, your right one of the best shows ever made, and my favourite of all time too :)
@@williamdrouin8063 that's hilarious, those shows are garbage in my opinion. It's obviously up to the person to choose. Smallville is better than those imo
The chemistry between the actors were amazing. This show was just top notch.
Conclusion:Every show is WEIRD
full counter 🥄
The Wire isn't.
What is weird is the irritating narration.
@@markcadieux3445 his comment about girls who thought obnoxious=endearing was lacking self awareness
The constant is Alex Meyes. Therefore HE is weird.
*God I LOVED Smallville when I was younger. I was convinced that I was going to marry Tom Welling when I grew up lol* 😊❤️
Yeah, that bastard just couldn't wait a bit longer!
Girl we would've been sister wives 😂😂 I loved him too as a kid lol and Shia Lebouf when he was on Evan Stevens
That's not weird at all. I'm still positive Kristen Kruek is my future ex wife :)
Maybe you still will
Omg, this is so weird. I'm in the middle of showing my mom every episode of Smallville ever and we just started season 1 yesterday.
Me too! I'm not watching it with her, but my mom is watching Smallville for the first time right now. She loves it :)
It has aged pretty well in my opinion. I finished binge watching it last week and I loved it!!!!!
I recently did the same thing with my mom, only with Veronica Mars
Just finished season 6 yesterday. I've gotten her addicted.
Since we're halfway done, does anyone have any other show that I could introduce her to when we're done? 😁
When ever Clark saves someone they are all knocked out
i know,like seriously ...How were they always out,all the time?
Ikr 😂😂
Phillip Wilkins to be fair she gets worse over time so i think it really did affect her
Yes. almost every single time. When I watched it for the first time and one of these scenarios where Clark used his super powers came up, I immediately knew it would happen again xD but, the show was still amazing.
Or miraculously lose their memory!
I wish that this show had done more with the whole "Clark is the local Native American tribe's prophesied Messiah" thing. And yes, that was actually a thing.
I wish they had done less with that. Really like none levels of it. I think that would've been best for everyone. Because it was bad.
I think that whole storyline was to indicate that Smallville is where Kryptonians had visited before, so it actually makes some sense that Jor-El sent baby Superman to Smallville in the first place.
I thought that plot line was okay but didn't really like how they drew Jor-El into it and made him a weird disembodied evil ghost who lives in a portal behind a rock wall?
Judging a series just by his pilot is weird
the video ended super abruptly too. weird video all around
Also a lot of the things he says doesn’t make sense if you’ve seen the episode. I love this series but this is probably his worst video.
@@Devastator-cr3oh definitely...
I get the feeling that he doesn't take notes while he's watching or doesn't watch the entirety of every episode because in most of his videos he misses key things, then questions the logic of the thing that's been perfectly explained later in the episode.
@@Animefreak242 yeah he clearly skimmed through just to bash...
*is currently watching Smallville and in season 3* STUFF.HAPPENS.
Like killer emails?
Watched through the beginning of season 9. Things continue to happen.
I own the DVD box sets. I got them pre hulu
“So later that day, Lex Luthor hits Clark with his car” 😖🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Smallville has in fact held up well. The production standards are excellent with innovative and varied cinemagraphic styles, the cast is ( was) fresh and capable and the stories compelling. What has changed is what we expect from a drama. Pacing, the characters develop and grow dear over the seasons like in a real friendship as opposed to the static stereotypes and tropes in yodays dramas. Even though aimed at the teen crowd, Smallville was never dumbed down or a consistent victim of the "skin to win " ratings plot device. The show, featured some of the finest and even unconventional portrayals of familiar characters before or since, Jack Snyder take notes. Michael Rosenbalm's Lex is sympathetic, Kristen Kreuk is lovely and strong, Everyone, is fantastic, even the freak of the week actors. Watch this show, but dont binge all at once. Watch and let the characters start to grow. The first season is soso, but 2 -5 are excellent. 6-8 offers some great twist and additions and while stumbling in spots, 9 and 10 cross the finish line in respectable times.
I agree. Sadly the "the static stereotypes and tropes" of newer dramas, also means that these series are basically stale after 1-2 seasons.
The only issue I have with it was that while yes, most shows are predictable save for a few when it comes to tropes; the earlier seasons of the meteor freak of the episode got way too old, way too fast; and it was always one set of repetitive circumstances or another. Cliched reactions, etc. They needed better writers in that department; but yeah, the overall development of the characters was done in a way I kind of miss out on in most of the modern ones.
Agreed. Pilot opening with the meteor showers is one of the most compelling show openers to this day. Definitely one to let grow on you as well. I for one think the season 1 was perfectly contained. After season 5 it lost its way and got trickier/a lot less interesting after Lex wasn't in it anymore...it became more 'Superman' as in alien threats and all that stuff while the quiet contained conflicts that were mostly only around the Smallville area (a young man just trying to deal with having otherworldly powers) helped ground it and give it a certain charm.
Smallville also avoided a lot of contemporary pop culture references, which can date a show. If you overlook the 2000’s era technology the show actually ages really well. The special effects are more hit than miss and there aren’t things that would be considered problematic now that weren’t then.
This is such a weird format... Judging a 10 season show solely on its pilot episode
It's what he always does...
be real, if the first episode isn't good or entertaining to you....would you continue?
@@DetectiveHowler the first episode is just the start of a story. I stop to watch in episode 3. I just give time to the show. Sorry for my mistakes, i'm french. Have a good day.
Adelaide Jane yeah but still, you tend to judge a show based on the first episode
And even the pilot was good
My school is where they filmed Smallville high and my locker is right next to a smallville high sign
What school then
LUCKYY
That's cool lucky
Smalleville is one of those rare shows where earlier seasons are good than it kind of goes down hill a bit. Than around seasons 7 it gets really really good again. Than becomes amazing almost like a completely different show. And ends on a high satisfying note. Seriously watch the later seasons in comparison to the earlier seasons It’s amazing
This was the show I watched with my dad whenever I got to see him.

Still better than any current DC Tv show.
Smallville has it's own identity and better world building. It truly has heart in every episode instead of goofy one off episodes like girls night out in flash season 4 and the characters' development continues naturally and Clark never plays second fiddle to other characters.
Further the focus is on his journey to Superman; the mission statement doesn't change every season in an endless cycle of big bad we have to stop until the next one, with characters regressing for no reason and pointless b plots that contribute nothing to the overall story.
It may not look like the comics as much as the arrowverse but it's a far better tv show because it's storytelling characters, theme and world are more compelling.
Ah, so you are going for the better TV show argument. Let me ask you this then, what was Clark's journey? Cause i saw nothing. See, this is the problem with going the route of having him do superheroics right away. You don't get a journey and you just keep on limiting him to increase the run time. Clark was mostly fighting filler villains with a supporting cast that never was fleshed out as real characters. (besides Lex Luthor until they killed him) So we never got a story. Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl have some terrible filler too, but they also actually have season arcs and stories told that bring out better sides of their personas by the end of it.
Xander M You're high! Smallville actually had better story arc's than The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl. Also with Smallville Clark you got to see him grow into his superpowers and the growing pains of being different than everyone else and how it effected him. None of todays superhero shows go that deep into character.

If you are willing to discredit somebody due to there choice of profile pic, I'd hate to see how you'd get anywhere in discourse over the internet. If you were to actually attempt to point out flaws in his argument, you might actually get somewhere.
@James Furey Lol exactly.
Thank you for using “was” it’s been a long time since that tv show
Honestly i think he was closer to Lex in terms of age. Clark said his birthday was some random day that his parents chose, if you look at the arrival scene he looks to be about 6 or 7 years old. So when Pete, Lana and Chloe are 15 Clark is most likely 19/20 years old.
Comparing this show "Smallville" to other tv shows. I still think Smallville is in top of the list. Smallville's story telling, visiuals, character build up, and so on is so much better than other super themed tv shows that i have seen on the air now. Now a days they just don't do that well, maybe people are okay with bad storytelling. Well that's my opinion.
Just to add some more, I think Buffy the vampire slayer and charmed where well done tv shows, i think good character build up and storytelling. But i think Alex Meyers does not focus on to these thing more what seems to be awkward to him. But i think your missing the meaning behind this story of "Smallville".
Smallville basically neutered everything that makes superheroes fun and replaced it with teen angst and dudes with codenames and vague superpowers running around in color-coded sweatshirts fighting disposable nobodies.

One thing makes Smallville so perfect is the script. Lex Luthor has the best lines.
The story is also great when it kicks in high gear at season 4 onwards.
