[@michealmahmoud6391]

Smallville is honestly one of the best depictions of the Superman character and a faithful take on the Superman/DC universe. It is why I became Superman fan in the first place

[@LocalMan22]

Smallville was NOT a "faithful take on the Superman/DC universe." The show introduced many characters way too early, and substantially distorted many of the villains and side characters. For example, the comics version had young Clark flying around in the "Superboy" suit for many years in Smallville long before he moved to Metropolis. (I grew up reading many of those comics.) That doesn't stop it from being a fun show, but it must be viewed as it's own separate continuity.

[@michealmahmoud6391]

@@LocalMan22 Superboy and Other silver age comics did comics where Clark met heroes and villains before he became Superman. The villains had a lot of similarities to the comic. Metallo was similar to silver age John Corben (Daily planet reporter, vying for Lois Lane, pretending to be a hero) and Roger Corben (wanted revenge for the death of his loved one which he believed was caused by Superman/The Blur), Brainiac was inspired by his Superman TAS version with Milton Fine from the Post Crisis comics, Lex is essentially his silver/bronze age counterpart raised by the John Byrne Lex Luthor. Just because Clark didn't wear the Supermam outfit as a teenager like those comics when he met those characters doesn't mean those comics didn't do the same type of thing that Smallville or Gotham did. There is no one way to portray these characters and villains so it isn't fair to say they distorted it anymore than Iron Man distort the characters or Young Justice or Justice League/Justice League Unlimited. That seems like a backwards argument everytime just because one character wore a certain costume and another hero didn't especially considering the time Smallville came out. He was still the first publicly embraced heroes and as the sequel comics, "Smallville season 11", he was still Superman and had a lot of Superman adventures facing Metallo, Moniters, Darkseid, Lex Luthor, etc and meeting Green Lantern, Batman and Wonder Woman for the first time so it wasn't a big deal. It would have been boring if it was just the Post Crisis Superman's childhood and the audience wasn't ready for a mature Superboy tv show yet. I said Smallville was mainly a modernization Richard Donner Superman ( a lot of references through quotes, designs and Easter eggs, the personality is similar to Clark as a teenager in Superman the movie , how his father died, elements of Krypton and the creation of the Fortress of Solitude, ) and Post Crisis (Clark became Superman at 25, high school football star, he was saving people in secret between Smallville and Metropolis, Clark was more the main personality, Ma and Pa Kent were younger and more personality) with elements of silver age and modern comics imbued in it. Not that it directly followed the silver age comics. Besides in 80+ years of Superman origins, he has several different backstories and no 2 were alike or even did the same thing as the last. I said it should be viewed as it's own thing but that doesn't mean it wasn't faithful to the comics. It had a lot of elements it adapted to the comics into the tv show adaption pretty well. Smallville never said it was trying to follow the Post Crisis Superman or any one version of Superman. It was trying to show why a normal kid would want to become Superman by deconstructing the elements that were important in the Superman mythos (his double identity as the reporter for the Daily Planet, the fact that he is a public proactive superhero who can fly and willingly wear tights saving people, his embracing both his Kryptonian and human side, his love in Lois) and shows him and the audience learning the importance of those trappings and why he chose to do those things as Superman.

[@michealmahmoud6391]

@@OneWingdAnge1 Honestly I enjoyed that part. The idea that it took away/deconstructed the important trappings of the Superman mythos/character (instead of being a public hero confident and proactive, he was more comfortable saving people in secret. He didn't want to be a reporter at first. He couldn't fly and didn't wear glasses and didn't like the idea of wearing a costume/tights, instead of embracing his Kryptonian and Human side, he was uncomfortable in both natures) and let each part get added in slowly and showed Clark/audience learning the importance of each element and why Superman chose to be that type of hero instead of a Batman type hero. Same thing they did with every character. The build up made each element worth it imo. Not to mention making Clark have a personal impact on each hero he met showing why Superman is viewed as an important part of the DC Universe outside of his powers and because "he's Superman" (being a big brother figure, always having someone's back, his morals and the fact he inspired people to be more/do more).

I love the show... still regularly watch episodes. And there were some continuity blips for sure.

There are some other big ones but I don't have time to recount them. It's a bit annoying but I can still see past them. lol

[@Shenruss]

@@cloudrunner7 I agree with you! Same thing happened to Chloe's mom; she was blond in the hospital when we first saw her from the back, then _Wonder Woman HERSELF_ Linda Carter was used in the expanded role. Personally, just due to their physical similarities, I found they should have used Helen "Super Girl" Slater for _Chloe's mom_ instead of Clark's. I mean just LOOK at a picture of Tom Welling next to Linda; Same dark hair, Gentle cheeks, similar eyes. She would have been a *perfect fit* for Lara Lor-Van of the House of El.!

@Jordan Rayner What I did to arrive at that result was to suppose that the detonation speed of the bomb in the episode 3x15 is equal to the detonation speed of the TNT (so that it was not a very high or very low speed) then based on that Although the explosive is already activated but from the slow motion perspective Clark did not expand the explosion. I visibly assumed that the maximum had expanded some centimeters inside the bomb (3 centimeters to be exact), and then I assumed that Clark took the explosive to approximately one kilometer away from the hospital at the same time that the explosion takes 3 centimeters, and so the result came out.

Smallville Superman is precrisis level. The show did take a lot of elements from the Richard Donner universe. Even the freaking John Williams theme was in the series finale. Christopher Reeve was on the show to pass the torch to Tom Welling, not Henry Cavill that many fans may think. Reeve never met Cavill. Reeve had been dead a few years before Cavill became Superman (that's another story) So it's safe to say that Smallville is a Donnor-like based Superman show.

Tom's Superman can take the impact of a galaxy of stars and planets exploding point blank, and brush it off as if a baby lightly coughed on him(so long as none of those planets had any kryptonite). I guess when you think of it like that, the compelling nature of his story is how such a godlike being lives as humanly as he can, and withstands the urges to make himself like a god among men.

[@sophisticatednebula4236]

Not only pathetic, but they also made Clark weaker than Supergirl even after having a 20 year headstart to feed their feminist agendas

[@TheDragonaf1]

@@sophisticatednebula4236 Its not feminism its actually true in the comic continuity, new 52, rebirth and golden age (i think) all versions of supergirl/powergirl are stronger than superman. It was just executed very porky in the tv show, in the comics its more elegant. The best way to describe the difference is like Wally West and Barry Allan. Barry Allan is more skilled with the speed force even though Wally has a stronger connection to it. In a straight sprint Wally wins, but in an actual fight Barry wins. In New 52 and rebirth in the 20 years that Clark is on Earth, Karra is orbiting the sun and absorbing a lot of solar radiation, she was so strong in fact that she was able to remove a red lantern ring without assistance, which alone makes her one of the strongest beings in the universe. Plus you have to remember her life purpose was to protect Clark until he grew to be the universes greatest hero meaning she was already proficient with her powers, even in smallvile (up until season 8 and some parts of 10) Kara is stronger, Clark and Jorel both admit this - she can fly and resist the darkness because she doesn't see herself as human. Punch for punch she is stronger but Clark has more positional and is more proficient with all of his powers, not just brute strength.

[@sophisticatednebula4236]

@@TheDragonaf1 Ahh I see. I'd never heard of her orbiting the sun aspect. The only reason I knew from the comics as to why Kara is stronger is because Clark spent years limiting himself and creating a mental block, in turn making him weaker

With the pushing away apokalips feat, you forgot to calculate in the mass of the planet due to it's velocity. Like picking up and lifting a 20 lbs weight is a lot easier than catching and raising a 20 lbs weight thats falling at terminal velocity.
