Lex Luthor | The Great Evil (Smallville)

[@Spectrelion]

When he says "i love you like a brother", it's saddly true but the anger and the background makes birth some envy, look like Abel and Caien story. GOOD JOB BRO!!!

[@nullkuhlhaxxors]

The disabled always envy and plot against the most able, it's a stable pattern of human behavior since the beginning

[@chasingstars4]

this is THE definitive lex luthor tribute. incredible work.

[@CalvinJames]

Appreciate the love. This definitely was a big project. I absolutely love this character.

[@chasingstars4]

@@CalvinJames I can tell! this must've taken ages. I'm currently making a clark and lex edit myself so I know how long it can take ahah

[@CalvinJames]

@@chasingstars4 Awesome, send me a link when you are done!

[@Stuart267]

Fitting as its to the definitive Lex Luthor

[@Archangelgamer1997]

I like how the video starts off light hearted about the friendship between Clark & Lex. “Our friendship is going to be the stuff of legend” Then Lionel walks in, the music gets darker, and the tone shifts from the being a friend to Kents, to automatic sins being a Luthor

[@bigflops]

HOLY SHIT dude, not just the love but the TALENT that went into this...

[@CalvinJames]

Appreciate that. This one was definitely a project and a half.

[@The-only-Superman-that-matters]

​@@CalvinJamesthis video deserves more recognition my friend😊This is best Lex Luthor edit on KZbin EVER😈🤜🏽🤛🏽😈

[@nicktroisi6347]

“He won’t give me the only thing I ever really wanted from him. I want him to love me” One of the most tragic lines in the show. A son should never have to ask to be loved by their father or mother. If they ever ask that then they have failed as parents Most of the time the best kind of villain is shaped by tragedy

[@amitkenan3878]

By the time his shitty father realized that his son was what really mattered to him, it was too little too late.

[@calmafc6625]

How the hell has this not gone viral???? Nah we need ppl to react to this more so the channel can be exposed to wider audiences. You sir are mighty talented

[@CalvinJames]

Thank you for the kind words! What would be really awesome is if Michael Rosenbaum himself saw this video.

[@The-only-Superman-that-matters]

​@@CalvinJamesI'll make it my dedication that he watches this😊

[@fire1655]

Smallville is a show that I absolutely love. It brings back to mind so many what if and just maybes. Even knowing how the story will end up becoming between these two, there was always the tiny bit of hope that just somehow Lex could find out or be told and everything would be right. So intimate between the two of them aside, do you usually don’t get when most stories jump right into when they’re full-blown rivals. They would team up together unstoppable pair. Great video man.

[@Stuart267]

*Makes my love for how misunderstood Lex was & what he could have been if the ONE person he wanted to trust him had an ounce of faith in him, but Clark was just like the rest of them kept Lex at arms length even when saying he's his best friend.*

[@ICONIX_72]

It's people like you that inspire me to edit. A beautiful tribute for who I believe is the best Lex Luthor. Amazing work!!

[@CalvinJames]

That's really nice of you to say. Thank you.

[@JamesOwen-r3r]

This is the best smallville edit I've ever seen dude well done

[@chibuzonweze3291]

Lex becoming a villain shouldn’t really be a surprise, when your family and even your friend lies to you all your life. Carrying the burden of seeing your mum X’d your brother and being blamed for it.

[@mcnoneya]

I was thinking the same thing. I think he was the best portrayal of Lex because you could really see the nuances and the growth of why he ended up despising Clark, the one person you saw as a good, caring and honest person willing to help anyone in need, lies to you, just like every other person in your life, then like he says often he has a thirst for knowledge, and when he can’t prove what his guy is telling him is true, it essentially drives him to darkness, by season 5( I just started) at least imo, the premiere you can see the final threads of true friendship slip away, then it becomes more like frenemies and I’m guessing eventually true enemies.

[@qansie]

This is GOLD ❤❤❤❤❤❤ THE MOST AMAZING EDIT EVER

[@Thegreatabe1]

This video is incredible I hope you get the fame and recognition you deserve

[@sasha__min___3215]

The best tribute for Lex Luthor.I love Smallville and your edits!!!

[@CalvinJames]

I appreciate it! I absolutely love Lex and Clark's story, even after all these years.

[@racheltan2555]

I think Lex and Clark are like the Light and Shadow that they were both mold each other into the person they would become..(other than friends and family influence)

[@tohur]

Amazing the two best Lex performances are by two Micheals

@@abeltesfaye_ I appreciate the love. I would be honored if he ever saw this video. Loved the character and a video like this needed to exist on KZbin.

[@da_best_playa]

Smallville is my absolute favourite series and im watching it for the 6th time now, this really captivates lex's life in the series. I love to find other people who love smallville the same way i do. Good job on the vid bro!😊

[@CalvinJames]

@@da_best_playa My best friend is absolutely obsessed with it and got me down the same path. Lex is just one of those characters that I knew would make a premium video because of the depth of the story. After spending like 1000 hours on this project we both regularly quote this series like absolute dorks. I still watch this video anytime I want to experience his story again even after seeing it a million times.

BREAKING NEWS: Micheal Rosenbaum's back has made a full recovery after carrying all 10 seasons of smallville

[@Meme033094]

So glad I found this I been rewatching the series as I watch the Talkville Podcast it's the perfect time to get a Lex vid when the next episode of the podcast will be about the episode Onxy my favorite Lex episode of the series

[@CalvinJames]

Awesome, i love that episode as well. My favorite Lex episode i think might have to be Leximas.

[@Meme033094]

Such great episode its definitely up there as one of the best that and memoria ​@CalvinJames

[@ahmedbana4450]

This was remarkable. Great job! Please can you make one for Lana Lang? It would be super emotional since she went through so much over the course of the show.

[@darkaoshi27]

Smallville is most likely the saddest take on Clark and Lex's story.

[@justinfanter3620]

Maybe the best video on this app

[@IHazPeppers]

Absolutely brilliant. Fantastic job.

[@near6003]

Great vid man, glad to see you back :)

[@CalvinJames]

Thanks man. Your new video, when ?

[@near6003]

@@CalvinJames the minute shadowplay wants to play nice with certain video games itll be there lol

[@KushbiZ]

Even tho its fodder......this was literally a perfect depiction of Lex's Origins. Starting from Clarks friend to his enemey.

[@mcnoneya]

Haven’t watched the video yet- it’s 2am. But I will say in the season 5 premiere it really looks like any kinship the 2 had, had finally been stripped away. He slowly over the 4 seasons became just like his father, human experiments in the name of “helping” people, when really he was just trying to quench his thirst for knowledge. I mean he literally tortured Arthur curry. In the beginning he was so wholesome and had good intentions and then that darkness slowly took over,

[@mrwackyy]

Amazing video ❤ if only Clark told Lex his secret at the begining he could have saved him

[@CalvinJames]

I think this every time I swear. I always wonder what would have happened if Clark opened up to him.

[@fandomking8939]

If Lex can only be good if Clark tells him his secret (which I honestly doubt), he's not actually good.

[@CalvinJames]

@@fandomking8939 Fair to say but at the same time he was not inherently evil. I think it's pretty clear that there is much along the way that if it was changed could have led him down an entirely different path.

[@fandomking8939]

​@@CalvinJamesthe only way Lex could have become good was if he let go of his need for control, which Lex will never do because Lex has convinced himself he's the hero of the story and everyone else is the bad guy for 'betraying' him. He blames everyone else for his problems rather than accepting responsibility. Lex never truly thinks about anyone but himself.

[@iriswaldenburger2315]

@@fandomking8939but this isn’t his fault. He was raised by Lionel to become this way

[@legionstark5220]

Great video, make another one

[@ali-ej6rv]

I think people put the blame of Lex’s choices on Clark too much. Lex wasn’t entitled to his secret. He’s constantly showing exactly why he can’t be trusted. Throughout the series Lex repeatedly is given scenarios to do the right thing and does the opposite. Look at how jealous Lex was on Clark’s regular life of having a loving family, Lana etc. do people really think he’d of been able to cope with knowing the power Clark has, something which is ultimately revealed to be all he wants.

[@qansie]

God dammit I can’t stop rewatching it…… it’s absolutely unimaginably fantastic! How long it took to make something like this? ❤

[@CalvinJames]

@@qansie glad you like it so much. I just have watched it like 1000 times and I still come back. It's a great way to re live the feelings of his story. It took me probably in total like 400 hours or so? It took a lot of time to edit and also get all the footage by going through the entire series frame by frame basically.

[@Brokiemon]

This is an amazing piece, did you have to rewatch the series to make this?

[@CalvinJames]

@@Brokiemon Yeah the entire thing once again and then much of it, over and over. I now forever have Smallville quotes embedded in my head.

[@HEREoverAGAIN]

Lex was never wrong

[@fandomking8939]

You keep telling yourself that.

[@aaron40000]

Anyone else ever thought if clark had told lex his turth from the start non of this would have happened

[@fandomking8939]

No. Even in season one, Lex showed his lust for power and ruthlessness. Even if Clark had told him, it would have just given Lex more ammunition when he turned against Clark.

Is there gonna be other one?! For Clark Kent

Probably not. I would like there to be but honestly Lex for me is what made the series. Given how much time this project took it's unlikely I would commit to that for Clark but who knows maybe in the future.
