Sorry to say this clark is a son both Jonathan and lionel would be proud of

What i like to know why didn't lionel grab the side of the windows to stop himself from falling

I have a feeling lionel knew he was going to die just by the look in lex's eyes

Lex was the son lionel made but clark was the one he choice and was proud of

Its creepy how lex comes out of nowhere since u cant see him until he appears out of the dark

Whats sad and ironic is that lex will never remember himself killing his father or clark's secret cause of his baby sister tessa removing his memories with the cream she designed to erase memories

"Because i was trained never to accept defeat"...best line I've ever heard

“I was raised in your shadow and now you’re gonna die in mine. No one will even remember your name” One of Lex Luthor’s greatest lines. This moment was so shocking and a massive turning point in the show. It’s funny how Lionel spent so much of his time lying to and hurting the people around him especially Lex and when he to expose Lex everyone turned him away, except Lana because of Brainiac, and it surprised him, that’s where lying gets you. So the last person he went to was Lex to confront him himself and his own son decided to murder him which was the last thing I saw coming but really it was only a matter of time. The shot of Lionel falling in Lex’s eye and then fading away was dark and absolutely brilliant. This was the point where Alexander died and Lex Luthor was born, this is the day and origin of Superman’s greatest enemy.

Lex in black, Clark in red and blue. This wasn’t Clark vs Lex. This was Superman vs Luthor. It feels straight out of a Superman comic.

Tom welling and Michael were always so good together, always bought out the best in each other.

Michael potrayed the complexety and non always black-white personality of Alexander Luthor like no one else. He was amazing!!

He sacrificed himself to protect Clark’s secret

This scene is way better than the last 6 years of the MCU.

2:14 here's what I would have said if I had been lionel "his name is kal-el, krypton was his planet and she has been destroyed a long time ago and he is came to our planet to save it and you have to accept it"

With all the comedic roles I’d seen Michael in before, no one could have anticipated how brilliantly he’d play Lex Luthor

Man i miss this show! I love how lex reacts to "I have proof" he doesn't even bother trying to hide or deny at that point because he knows Clark wouldn't just lie like that or try to get a reaction out of him

“To discuss one of your latest project M.Gabriel is at the center of it” The way Lionel reveals and conceal things at the same time is amazing, the Luthors dialogues were gems in this show

Looking back at this.. Lex delivered disrespect at an astronomical level here. When Lionel killed his parents , he hired his buddy to do the dirty work. He didn't dare to do it with his own bare hands or look at them in the eye when he did it. Lionel murdering the Luthors was an act of greed. Lex, on the other hand.. had no issue committing the act himself. He walked right into Lionel's tower, took the elevator up to his office, and pushed his abusive father out a freaking window. And on top of that, promised Lionel that no one would remember his name. For Lex, murdering Lionel was PERSONAL. They did a great job with "Descent." Lex accepted his destiny right here.

Best scene of any show ever!!!

The fact that these 2 never got a movie is criminal.

1:29 This was one of the many moment when Lionel could have admitted out loud that he missed up But he didn’t

Lionel with his gaslighting tactics wouldn’t stop even at his bitter end.

Lex was right bc that hit Clark gave Johnathan back in like season 3-5 really started his heart problems

Given how many times Clark defended Lex he should know first how hard Lex did try

Actually, all he would have to do is call the cops and have him arrested for breaking and entering, and trespassing.🤷🏻‍♀️ "What happened to you?"oh I don't know… Decades of systematic trauma and abuse from a distant and manipulative father, for some reason Clark seems to think is a good guy.😂

Gosh I can't imagine why Lex turned out to be a bad guy…

based

God this show was good!

Lionel such a HYPOCRITE, Lionel cloned a dying little girl , that's pretty much the same thing playing God 😐

"Find it or fake it"...a narcissist' words...sad, because I liked Lex a lot

0:59 ❤❤❤❤ The close up, that face….. and then he drops the bomb with that line! 🎉

0:32 this right here is so funny. Martha asks a question and Lex doesn’t miss a beat. This is my favorite ❤️, The look on Lex’s face, hand pointing to the green ring, and, especially, “I am the villain of the story!😮

Yes it is. My favorite scene

1:12 “Oh, which son is that?” Lex asks. Love it. By this season, you would have thought Clark was adopted by the Luthers. Lionel was showing Clark just as much attention, if not more, to him than Lex. We even got to see he had a secret attraction for Martha--like son, like father. Lionel wanted Martha, Lex wanted Lana.

Lex cold as ice !

Chilling!

Once she married Alex, she took on alot of his traits, probably for the sake of survival in his cut throat world, but it never seemed to go away. She’s doing exactly what Lex has done to her a million times over. She’s no better than Lex, here.

One of the most shocking moments to ever happened

Lionel shouldn’t be talking when he’s done the same things and far worse.

Lex Luther was the real victim of the story

I don’t care what anyone says, but Clark dishonesty and Clark denial of reality that was Lex’s Reality is what made Lex become the Lex Luther we know about.

Lex should be happy. He grew up with no body hair, instead of as the most hated of the social pariahs: A Ginger.

Miss this show

I hated this. I wanted them to stay brothers.

*To think we went from a powerhouse like Michael Rosenbaum to a dweeb like Jon Cryer as the ultimate nemesis of Superman.*

The writers were obviously dying to make this episode and film this scene and yet….Michael Rosenbaum’s Lex wasn’t at this stage yet- and might never have got there. A brilliant episode in a brilliant show with too many brilliant scenes and brilliant episodes to list!

I always liked how Lionel called Clark “son”

"Well, it's not quite a skeleton yet. More like a freshly laid corpse." The disrespect for both Jonathan and Lionel in one zesty reply. I could argue that Lex took over the title of Magnificent Bastard from Lionel right there.

"Somehow, Luthor returned."
