ye that statement only holds true pre graduation Smallville, but I guess you can also make a case that Clark doesn't become "Superman" to the world UNTIL he puts on the cape in the finale episode of the show. for us he was always superman but in universe it took some time hence 'the before Clark becomes superman'

You should also have talked about Lionel Luthor aa in the beginning of the series he was definitely a villain but after that one episode with Clark in season 4 and then he became infected by Jor El's IA made he change his ways somewhat, thinking about it now I think he was more close to Lex in the end of All Star Superman when lex got the same powers as superman and started seeing the world in a complete different light, but here Lionel is always hunted by his past and what he did. It's somewhat sad that when he died, and even after Clark discovered how Jonathan died, Clark himself still had the same prejudice towards him as his father did, then again he had the other Lionel that proves he's right so I don't know, growing out of this can be a step for him to develop but having it shows how he's still very much human.

Many people looks at the Crisis cameo and think Smallville Clark is ruined and it's the end of the road. I've never thought of it like that. Clark lost his powers multiple times during the show but he eventually got it back. Whatever he did to lose his powers in Crisis might not be final. It could be just a phase in his life when he is trying to be a great father for his kids just like how Jonathan was for him. Call it paternity leave if you will. There is indeed a band of superheroes who watch over the people. And Clark wouldn't let them down if they faced an enemy only Superman could defeat. This time his family takes priority. And considering he will outlive all of them, it's understandable he would like to spend some time with them before that happens. But the future Dr. Fate and the Legion talked about can still become a reality.

Okay, so I cannot believe that I am going to waste a comment defending that plotline but Davis was a victim of Kryptonian scientists who could not control his abilities. He only killed (and he specifically killed dangerous criminals) individual people in order to stop Doomsday from coming out and going on a rampage. Chloe and Davis argued that sending him to the Phantom Zone was less humane than killing him because he would be banished to a prison dimension forever, forced to give into his Doomsday persona. Now granted, Chloe's alternative of just staying with him had some major holes in it, especially after he kidnapped Jimmy and Oliver.

I have complicated feelings towards Smallville. I love the premise of focusing more on Clark Kent before he becomes Superman, especially during his teen years. Having once-a-week villains/problems in a small town in Kansas is a genius idea for a weekly show. And the highlight surprisingly comes from the Luthors, especially between Lex and Lionel. Witnessing Lex's turn to evil was very well handled and almost perfection. But where the complications come in is its later seasons during and after Season 5. Sure, I like that Clark and his friends were no longer in high school, but the formula was becoming stale and cliched in Season 5 because there was clearly a sense that something needed to change, and they never truly did act on it. The closest we came was when Clark revealed his secret to Lana, but they quickly reversed it through time-travel, and I hated it. Either kill off Lana or go all the way with her knowing about his secret. Let them have a healthy relationship without any secrets between them when it was more risky to do so. The moment they had Clark reveal his secret to her, that was playing a card that would only work once. Because once they did it again in a different way during Season 6, it didn't have the same impact. That was the moment when I realized that the show didn't have the guts to change things up until it became safer to do so later. Don't get me wrong, I like Seasons 6 & 7 for some of the risks that they do take with the show, but there was always a sense that they were holding back because they knew the show was more than likely going to be renewed and didn't want to progress things too far. But even then, it still felt like a large shadow that made it difficult to enjoy the show by that point, especially in the final three seasons. Not to mention a lot of plotlines and developments that either were forgotten about, retconned, or did not have a satisfying conclusion. And I know I'll get some hate for this but I am not a fan of Clark and Lois in this show. I do not hate them, they're tolerable in terms of other romances I've seen from the CW. But I always felt that Clark and Lana had more chemistry and build up between them in the first 5 seasons. Seasons 6 - 8 on the other hand, maybe not so much. And to be honest, I would have been okay with a universe where Clark doesn't get with Lois. I know I'm making it sound like I hate the show, but I don't. It's just complicated because I see the true potential that it never truly reached, and it's one of those things where that's just how it is. Smallville was made in a very different era of the superhero genre and it did the best it could in that time-period. It still holds a special place in my heart.

Personally, Smallville is my favorite Superman & the most powerful version of Superman ever adapted. Smallville is a classic, not perfect, but still a classic.

Dude when I watched Smallville as a kid I loved it. And Michael rosenbaum kept talking and I was like I've heard that voice before but where so I looked up the actor and saw he was a voice actor in Justice League cartoons and I was like wait who was he? And when I saw he voiced the flash i lost my mind 😂 but yea Smallville was incredible to me. Was everything perfect no but it was all worth it

First time I watched smallville was actually recently. I went over to my friend’s place to visit, he was kinda busy with work and cooking but I ended up staying up watching the show with his brother in law, at some point he came out of his room in the middle of the night and asked “are yall still watching smallville?”

The only thing I hated about Smallville was the meteor freak of the week format for the first 3 or 4 seasons. Even though I liked seeing Clark's journey to becoming Superman, I was a bigger fan of Lex and Lionel. Their characters were the most interesting ones because both were evil but could find redemption. Lex started out good but went evil while Lionel was the opposite. There were decent villains once they started using comic book characters and it was fun to see who they'd bring on the show next. Smallville isn't my favorite show but it's in my top 5 for sure.

My problemS with Smallville was a lot of things. But my pet peeve was how the show glorified Chloe Sullivan WAY TOO much for someone who had the notorious reputation for prying, spying, and invading people's privacy including Clark's. For a time when Twilight and FSOG were promoting emotionally abusive relationships as the new romantic thing, I am surprised they'd OK a character like Chloe. It is all wrong and immoral.

Lois and Clark and Smallville were probably my favorite superhero shows growing up. Every couple of years I find myself binging one or both of days. Nowadays as I workout or go for walks I like to listen to TalkVille - Clarck and Lex podcast viewing and reviewing every episode!

Despite the writing in Smallville being mixed, it actually got me more into the Superman comics back in high school. If i recall correctly, the show was originally supposed to end either at season 4 or on season 5. Because it was reaching that point where Clark should have been Superman already and shouldn't have been dragged out to season 10. I wasn't also a big fan of the hole prophecy gimic that the show played around with on Clark becoming Superman because it takes way the build-up on him becoming his own without anyone else telling him differently. This was also one of the reasons why I disliked Gotham because the show did the same thing with Bruce, just as Smallville did with Clark. And another thing that really bothered me about Smallville and Gotham that both shows were introducing some of Superman and Batman's rogues gallery (especially the major ones) so early and making it difficult to believe that the Worlds Finest will have supervillains of their own when they become adults.

In my opinion what they could have they could’ve handled Tom Wellings cameo so much better in crisis maybe instead of giving up his powers, he could have just put a little blue piece of blue kryptonite in his dad‘s watch that he’s wearing so it can temporarily take away his powers then when he needs to be Superman he can

I think the best way to describe my feelings on Smallville is like this. The show has a ton of great ideas, I just don't like the premise. This is 10 seasons of a Superman origin story and I don't think it really needed to be that long. Honestly, show probably should've ended at Season 4 when Clark graduates high school and if they really wanted to continue the story after that just make him Superman, there is no reason to drag this origin out for 6 more seasons, especially when you're bringing in other heroes and villains from across DC. Clark is a founding member of the Justice League but he isn't Superman, Clark battles Darkseid but he isn't Superman, Clark is set to marry Lois but he isn't Superman, Clark battles Doomsday but he isn't Superman, and Jimmy Olsen dies before Clark is Superman.

TBH, season 9 was my favorite season because it felt the most like a Superman show (at that time; I watched in its original run). But the rest of this video? Spot on.
