    Making Smallville not just a Clark origin story but a Lex story is one of the greatest decisions in the history of comic book adaptations. Rosenbaum added actual gravitas to the character, and was a perfect foil for TOm's Clark/Superman

    It must have really stung when Lex heard his father say that Clark was the kind of son a father could be proud of. What more could Lex have done to get that same recognition. You feel that despite his privilege growing up Lex's life was doomed. He became the way he was because of his father and then he got the cold shoulder from him for how he was as a person

      Yep. Lex was like a young Clark Kent despite everything Lionel did to him. He wanted to be good and have friends around him but being raised the way he was affected him and these new people he thought could be his new family always found reasons to reject him. He no longer had a path like Clark's.

And Clark had parents who helped him with his powers.

      No, it wasn't Clark's fault. It was Lionel's fault. He never gave him the love a father owe to his child.
      When Lex said that he wanted everything Clark had, it was the truth. If you rewatch Smallville, you will see that in this episode where Clark and other kids of his school are saved after being trapped in Luthor's plant. He was clearly jealous to see Clark and his parents hug.
      Lex made a choice to be a villain.

  • @russellealega33

    Lex has always been the supportive friend to Clark and he tried to be somehow honest with him. But Clark was the one that has too many secrets which somehow stained their friendship. Also, all that Lex ever wanted is someone who will accept, love him and help him not become like his father but people around him always doubted him and didn't give him the chance to change.
    Seriously, I love Lex's character in the beginning of the series and I pity him for having the characted development that happened to him.

    • @TheKira708
      @TheKira708 3 роки тому +9

      Russelle Alega I agree with all those things, Lex saw Clark as a brother a best friend, rival an sometimes an enemy all the sametime.
      Even though he admired Clark, he was also lowkey jealous of him. Clark had the perfect supporting family and friends. An Lex sure had money....but he was always alone an never had friends or good parenting. I do believe Lex became the way he did because of a Clark but also. Lex did somewhat have a God complex, he was envious of people with different abilities then him, and wanted to exploit them, to use for his own gain....sure ultimately he wannted to protect the human race from all the threats that appeared in smallville. But still he wanted control. But of course he wasn’t like that at first. Just everything and the secrets from Clark made him became the villain he did.
      Clark wannted to tell lex his secret but after witnessing Lexs actions therw the show and also given him being a Luthor and the Kent’s taught him the Luthors couldn’t be trusted that stopped Clark from telling him. An he also wanted to change Lex but he didn’t like how Lex was sooo obsessed with the car accident of how he survived and then investigating Clark etc. Ultimately the both became who they because of such other and it is a sad and really good story.

    Smallville is one of my favorite version of Superman and I'd also loved the story of Clark and Lex; how they go from best of friends (almost brothers) to mortal enemies! Michael Rosenbaum portrayal of Lex Luthor is one of my favorite live action version of the character. Since it was in a TV series, they'd showed over time how there friendship changed, became broken and in the end, they both accepted there destinies!

      Lex was always suspicious of how Clark saved him from dying in a car accident. Also, Lex knew about the meteor freaks. So, Lex was trying to build evidence of Clark being a meteor freak. Lex did amoral things to get this evidence. He was using Lana to use Clark. His obsession about understanding how he was saved by Clark made him be bad since season 1. Clark had a right to keep his superpowers secret from Lex. Lex was being suspicious, obsessed about Clark, doing amoral things, using Lana as a pawn, and becoming power-hungry. Lex only has himself to blame.
