Clark learns to fly (Smallville)

I met him, and his son, at a cinema where I used to work .He’s a really nice guy. So far I’ve met 3 Marthas, 2Jonathans, 2 Perrys, 1 Cat Grant, 1 Lana, Non, and watched Curse of the Were/Rabbit behind Chloe and her friends.

[@tbird4u1]

I think, the reason clark floated in that moment with lois, is because he was completely in a state of bliss. He wasn't worried about anything, he had no stresses, he wasn't thinking about his responsibilities, just, in that moment, he was completely free of everything and just felt happy. And that was the key.

[@CS.319]

💯❤️

[@gaditenamelakota5874]

He was messing up he was going off Lois Lane is his Kryptonite his weakness is Delilah he put aside his responsibilities and if we learned anything from Stan Lee with great power comes great responsibility whom much is given much is asked he was floating because he was being selfish Point Blank.

[@glcsander]

Interesting i always go back to that moment when Clark tells Jonathan that if he could fly it met he was no longer human as the reason why he couldnt fly, all his life on heart all he wanted was to be nornal, normal to aproach the girl he likes without falling, normal to play futebol, every single instinct he had was either supressed by him or his parent. Think for example riding a bicycle the reason why everyone fails it because our brains cant process the though of riding something on two wheels, but the moment u get the balance even for a splint second it never goes away and instead becomes muscle memmory, so something u coulndt do a minute ago know is something u carry for the rest of your life no matter what.

[@LilXancheX]

@@glcsander so if I believe I can fly, I’ll actually fly?

[@glcsander]

@@LilXancheX Of course not but it was a recuring theme on the show, the fact that he had vertigo, but once u see the true Kara episode she explains that the one keeping Clark from flying was himself, his insecurity or the struggle he had to accept he wasnt a normal human and it wasnt his parents, or his friends but someone he truly loved that accepted him for what he is that allowed Kent to finaly fly, no more doubts, no more secrets.

Smallville wasn't about Superman, but Clark Kent learning how to become Superman. Throughout the entire series, in every season, Clark was always learning something new about himself, understanding his true identity. Then on the last episode he learned his greatest power and flew up to save the world and then became Superman.

[@nannygranny4]

True.

[@xredraindbx3861]

No shit

[@buckwilde1511]

He wouldn't fly because Tom Welling the actor didn't want to be on wires every episode ("no flights") and he was bow-legged with chicken legs, so no suit ("no tights") ... Superboy could fly in the comics. Plus, the budget kept getting cut as the ratings went down and flying costs way more to film

[@slimdudeDJC]

@J. Because he was learning to be Superman? OJT, it's called.

[@TheRealJuseBeats]

@@nannygranny4 And we didnt get tot see that because it was blurry. They never gave us the hero shot. I was so let down and i cant watch smallville without being pissed at that. They wasted 10 seasons to let us down. No flight and no tights was stupid. Tom was a chump. Should have casted someone who actually wanted to be superman. Then to make it worse, on crisis he gives his powers away and lets everyone die. Doesn't even try to save his wife and kids. Such a douche.

[@qayyumchariff4895]

[@floodgates182]

I thought it was really sad that they didn't pitch those two against each other. I mean, Lois holds this major grudge against Lex because of what he did to Wes Keenan, and then it all just puffs off into nowhere because she gets a crush on her editor.

[@Treyteni97]

It's pretty clear to me why Clark couldn't fly. Flying like all abilities is in the mind. From all of the Kryptonian's who visited Smallville, we know that they don't let emotions (doubt, insecurity, guilt) override their judgement and reason. Clark is a Kryptonian who was raised human. All he's ever known is doubt, insecurity and guilt and it weighed him down. Lois is the person who finally got him to let go of all of it, which is why he can fly. I love the way the writers addressed the flying!

[@emmanueloluga9770]

Oliver was explaining how Clark need Lois, and Clark HAVING Lois finally leads to him being able to fly. It was sort of foreshadowing the fact that Lois will help him become Superman.

[@EMan297007]

the last scene is the coolest ever. Can you imagine that you can dance on the air with the love one? Only superman can do that.

[@porpus99]

How easily Clark could have ended up like the kid from Brightburn. It is because the Kents were supportive and understanding of their son. The Breyers were fearful.

[@emmanueloluga9770]

This is why my most basic principle about philosophy and life is that...when it all boils down..Faith vs Fear is the source of all occurrence

[@Introvertsan]

No the Breyers had a super powered psychopath while the Kents did not have a psychotic child to deal with. Those are the key differences even in Bright burn where the mother was willing to protect the child which she should not have because her husband was right her life got ended as well and their child harmed people on purpose. Clarke is different in terms of nature and characteristics he never went out of his way to harm and maim others so the Kent were mostly just shocked, surprised and scared for their son that they loved and knew he is a sweet boy who grew up into a sweet man.

[@LPStout1977]
