I always appreciated lionels little talks about ancient figures, to the point i learned a lot about life just listening to these talks.

The Luthor scenes are the best parts of Smallville. No wonder the show went down hill after both left the show.

John Glover and Michael Rosenbaum's scenes together were epic on this show. Even now, 13 years after the series ended, they still refer to each other as "Dad" and "Son" when they see each other. Everyone involved in the making of Smallville became a close-knit family.

I think Lionel's overall point is to know when to be ruthless.

I didn't realize back then how insane that fencing scene is: 1) they bothered to put on the suit but not the helmet/mask. I get that this is so we, the audience, can see their faces as they fight, but why bother with protective suits if you're not also going to protect the head and the face. 2) But more insane than that: they are using real swords! These aren't regular fencing foils, they are actually sharp rapiers. When Lionel has his blade on Lex, Lex isn't annoyed to have lost the match, he legit looks scared he might get stabbed. The Luthors do not fuck around!

It's Lionel's way of instilling fearlessness in Lex.
@danielduff Жыл бұрын
It's nuts too because 1. Lionel's long hair keeps getting in his face. It's completely impractical when he would've had to tie his hair back to wear the helmet. And 2, Not wearing masks means it's harder to hide stuntmen. This is actually John Glover and Michael Rosenbaum doing the majority of the fight. Glover even does part of the roll over the pool table. It's totally unnecessary, but I love it

I wouldn't say "the more I RESPECT it", but now that I'm a grown man rewatching these scenes I first watched as a boy, I definitely understand some of the principles Lionel was trying to teach Lex, albeit in a cruel way.
@transcendentmuzic13982 жыл бұрын
@@Mr33500 I wouldn't consider him a good father figure, no. But in the end, Lionel created exactly what he set out to create. A leader who was more cunning, ambitious, and ruthless than he was. Ugly and somewhat poetic part is, Lionel was killed by his own creation.

Just no. He's a sick, twisted narcissist. Any attempt to "help" lex or appear to care is just an act. Lex was just one of the pieces in his chest game.
