SMALLVILLE Tom Welling Panel - Terrificon 2024

[@FatimaTomsEnough]

Congratulations on getting to moderate this terrific Tom Welling Panel! Thank you VERY MUCH for sharing!

[@uahmed2042]

This is genuinely one of the best Smallville panels I've seen! Some really interesting questions from the audience, and good in-depth insightful responses from Tom! I love it when Michael's on board, but I get the sense he wants to rush, but these solo panels give Tom alot more space to breathe.

[@SarahGardus]

Tom saying he was more looser and effective with Erica SO TRUE KING! Awesome panel.

[@AnakinSkywalker-dv3bl]

Tom Welling is the best Clark Kent ❤❤❤

[@marcoAngeL0_]

Tom and Erica are the best Louis and Clark tandem

[@sofiadrosos1308]

Tom Welling is the best. My favourite. ❤ Great panel. Thanks for uploading.

[@FandomSpotlite]

You're welcome. I quite enjoyed moderating it.

[@Visqo1]

He is great. I'm so glad that he has participated more often in these panels

[@karone]

tom é uma cara muito legal. simples humilde. amei o fato dele falar que o calrk ficou mais engraçado quando a lois apareceu. acho q eles se completam demais. amo todas as versões de lois e clark ❤

[@melissasollars2704]

I have all 10 seasons of Smallville

[@oceanneriel6462]

hes so adorable and funny, love him so much

[@shanedrance5443]

6:14 Tom's such a Clois fan and he's 100% right his whole aura and energy changed with Lois & Erica being added to the show. That's why Clark and Lois are the power couple. I talked to him at his table this past weekend and he was telling me the same thing about how he sees himself so differently with Lois which is absolutely loves and how much fun he has with her. It's liberating and wants to see more of it every time. He said he can't wait for the later seasons on Talkville bc he really enjoyed the last 3 seasons bc he had more fun.

[@LivstevMotherEarth]

Thanks so much for sharing this panel! I've been patiently waiting for this one. It's nice when we get Tom doing solo panels every once in a while, though I did love the previous one at Steel City with Erica as well.

[@FandomSpotlite]

Glad you enjoyed it! I was glad I had the opportunity to moderate Tom one-on-one. I'm sure the one at Steel City Con was fun. Unfortunately, they decided to not have us come out and record panels anymore.

[@LivstevMotherEarth]

@@FandomSpotlite I forgot to say that because it was after midnight that I posted that comment (just came back home from work) that I'd watch it later lol. I'll look forward to watching it sometime today. :) That's a shame that Steel City didn't invite you back. Fortunately, someone else filmed and shared that panel! I'm so grateful to everyone who does this and to the cons that allow filming of the panels. Not all of them do.

[@marcoAngeL0_]

I hope someday we'll see TOM on his Superman suite

[@4everClois]

Yay !!🎉 thanks for uploading this!❤😊

[@jackhaydenharron]

Tom Welling is spot on about Lois. Lois really brings out the best in Clark and their chemistry is fantastic. There was a major shift when Lois/Erica was brought in, as Tom mentions he was looser, more effective and more grown up and Erica made it fun for Tom and it showed, you could see Tom/Clark shine- we finally saw his personality, wits and sass, like Tom said his HUMOR. Tom got to finally break out. I can see why Tom was pushing the rom com aspect with Lois because it's something he likes and he's made for. But I agree, Clark was epic around Lois- whereas with others characters he kind of looked very one dimensional and boring.

[@greggeer6231]

I can't believe I missed this panel!! Thanks for posting!

[@MazterP28]

My teachers son was on the fog, met Tom Wellington said he was as cool

[@heatherrosetarot]

Thanks for uploading this! I was at the Steel City Con, and Erica and Tom were great there too. I want to mention something that some fans may hate me for, but oh well. What Tom said about the Crisis Cameo: he isn't SURE if it's his Clark or not. He did not say that it definitely was not. Based on his words, it could've very well been Smallville's Clark all along. I honestly think he mentions this now at Cons to appease fans that were critical of the Smallville cameo, that it's okay to interpret it as you will. IMO he didn't completely understand what multiverse meant in context of the Crisis on Infinite Earth's episodes. Plus, I had a long conversation with Erica Durance at the Steel City Con, and I specifically asked if I was interpreting it correctly, that the Cameo was supposed to be "our" Lois and Clark from Smallville, just many years after the series ended. She told me that I interpreted it right, and my artist's instincts were correct (I asked because I'm doing an art project based on the Smallville Cameo, and I wanted to make sure I understood it right since I'm going to be showing it to Tom and Erica at the Smallville Con this October.) That meant the world to me, because it was weighing heavy on my mind. She's awesome in person (so is Tom - I felt nothing but good energy/vibes from both of them.) My theory is that it is Smallville's Clark, but an older/more mature version (Tom has actually said that's how he played it.) He could've given his powers up (most likely temporarily even) for any number of reasons. I read that the people who made the Crisis on Infinite Earth's episodes were trying to incorporate all the different shows (and a couple movies) that featured superheroes. Smallville kinda started it all when it came to doing superhero-related shows on TV, so they wanted to include it...based on that and other info the producers of that multi episode event explained, it was intended to be our Smallville, not a version the audience wouldn't know. But, I think Tom has said, I don't know if it was my Clark or not, because it was a one-scene moment and so it couldn't possibly explain everything that happened to Clark and his family from the ending of Smallville to the moment of the Cameo scene, in the script. Plus, many fans have been critical of the Cameo (they have valid reasons, don't get me wrong,) so I think Tom throws around the word multiverse to explain things to people who may criticize it. The Smallville TV show that we know and love was it's OWN universe, so it would have been part of the greater multiverse all along. Anyway, that's just my take - not trying to hate on anyone at all!

[@abeltesfaye_]

Tom is such a gentleman & seems like a truly kind soul ❤ He was also the BEST Clark Kent I've ever seen aside from Christopher Reeves

[@lboogie528]

to me Smallville was the best version of Clark Kent and of superman

[@Sunbeachpalmtrees1]

We never got to see him as Superman!!!! Because he "refused" to wear the suit on Smallville 🙄

[@rhyswong8976]

I miss Tom Welling Superman. I think Henry Cavil was an awesome replacement, but I still miss Tom Welling. He deserves more roles in movies.

[@inTWelligent]

That one audience member was right -- he could do a live-action Mr. Incredible! Especially now that he's a dad.

[@September_Rains]

Has Tom thanked Kristin for saving his butt at the audition? Kristin was the very first cast member to be hired for the series. That’s how certain the producers and studio knew she was the one.

[@September_Rains]

Both Tom and Jensen Ackles were the two final contenders for the role of Clark Kent.

[@madfairy]

he seems so lovely! I love Tom solo panels

[@lboogie528]

Tom welling by far was the best version of superman

[@sedohema]

I've never watched the show, but I was always under the impression that that was more of a Clark Kent portrayal? Am I wrong?

[@lboogie528]

@@sedohema it was of Clark Kent

[@jamesrevere2992]

@@lboogie528Then he wasn’t Superman, was he? Cavill is the best Superman so far, tom was too whiny and never had the balls to make a move towards women he liked.

the best version of superman bar none classic tv series

[@alisongibbs309]

Oi smallville oi que ball the best ❤

[@vbrandy7088]

Tom's solo panels are great, loved this panel, thanks for sharing. Hopefully Tom, Michael, Kristin, Erica, Laura and John will get the opportunity to make the project that Tom was spreaking of. I would love for them to do something together again even if it's not Smallville related tbh

[@vbrandy7088]

But I have to say I'm tired of the Christopher Reeves question it has been asked by fans and answered by Tom a million times (he even talked about working with him on Talkville).So to all the Smallville fans going to the cast panels please watch previous Smallville panels to know wich questions have already been answered many times cause atp the Christopher Reeves question is taking up place for a fresh question.

[@bigfool577]

I liked "The Fog" remake from 2005.

[@jeffreyberg356]

Unpopular opinion... But, same. It's not supposed to be scary. It's meant to be an eerie ghost story. I thoroughly enjoyed it upon release in 2005 & I watch it often.

[@michaelmacias8]

“That’s not the Clark from Smallville”… works for me.

[@September_Rains]

13:22 Tom said the Clark Kent in the Crisis Infinity TV show is from another multiverse and he doesn’t know how he lost his powers.

[@Sunbeachpalmtrees1]

Oh he knows believe me, he just won't talk about it because he's an egotistical jerk

[@easyalpha1]

Kristin saved Toms audition…and the series..😂 Another reason to love Kristin….

[@vbrandy7088]

Right thanks to Kristin for saving Tom's ass during his audition 😂💯 Can't imagine Jensen Ackles playing Smallville's Clark Kent 😂

[@alyce831]

I’m glad she got Tom through the audition and he got the role over Jensen no offense to him love him as an actor. Even then being thankful for her helping his audition. The level of praise seems a a bit much.

[@September_Rains]

Kristin saved Tom’s butt. Tom has the Superman looks but Jensen has more acting experiences up to that point. Has Tom ever thanked Kristin?

[@easyalpha1]

@@September_Rains Tom is humble enough to say this story many times in public I am sure, and at least twice on KZbin for the whole world to see. Kristin is too classy to say anything. I am sure personally Tom has thanked Kristin for many things on many more occasions. Their good relationship on and off screen testifies to their excellent team work and support.

[@September_Rains]

@@easyalpha1 I know Kristin is a classy (and smart) person because I have listened to many of her interviews. I just think he should thank her publicly for saving his butt.

[@joymiller9668]

I'm glad that he mentioned that it could have been a different Clark in the multiverse. Mostly because of the fact that Clark had finally accepted himself in the last episode.

[@michaelmacias8]

I know that always bugged me. Now this comment from him gives me closure.

[@heatherrosetarot]

Please don't get me wrong - your post is valid, and I love Tom.
