Awesome show, loved every single episode from beginning to end, to this day I genuinely believe that if Clark disregarded his father's extremely harsh and semi hypocritical Judgment; gave lex benefit of the doubt and told him his secret right then and there when he came to him about his suspicions I'm pretty sure that Lex would have went down an entirely different path where they both would have became greatest allies instead of mortal enemies, sure there would have been up and down moments between the two where Lex's curiosity and thirst for knowledge would test Clark's patients but in the end they would have been able to come to terms with each other and been on the same destiny of changing the world for the better rather than vying for control over the fate of the world, it would have been extremely nice if we had gotten a what if Episode to show that being the case plus rewriting the finale where the alternate version of Lex being the classic villain we all know coming to there Earth and this version facing off against his doppelganger and even though tragically taking his sister tess mercer's place in losing his life being the one to wipe his memory of everything he learned of Clark's identity as Superman symbolizing HIS ultimate victory against his inner darkness as well as a parting gift to team Superman; solidifying his loyalty to his best friend and brother! 💯🔥😁😉👍

But that crisis event was the most and definitely more ambitious live action crossover event than ANY of the DCEU live action movies EVER. You had literally 50+ years of cinema and tv shows , live action and animated, getting referenced, cameoed, or playing major roles in this event. MCU and DCEU could NEVER.

The first Superman TV series was the Adventures of Superman from 1952 to 1958, with George Reeves playing the part. This was preceded by two "movie serials" (16 minute episodes shown in theaters weekly) in 1948 and 1950 with Kirk Alyn, totaling 30 episodes for both. The first comics-based superhero movie serial is considered to be the Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941), where Billy Batson is granted powers by the ancient wizard Shazam (yes, the same basic plot as the 2019 film). Movie serials existed before televisions were common in homes.

I'm glad you got into Smallville. I watched it at the time, then bought all the DVD sets to watched again and again. Not for nothing, at the time I didn't watch Lois and Clark. I thought it was cheese and it sucked, so I never gave it a shot. I was still hung up on Reeve's Superman. But then I watched it last year on Tubi, and after initially getting passed the obvious dated effects, I ended up loving the show. I regret that I didn't give it a shot when it aired, because it got cancelled for low viewership. I remember reading Dean Cain say he thought Terri Hatcher was the best Lois Lane, and after watching the 5 seasons, I think she is so over-looked, as well as Dean Cain as Superman. The show is the most Superman comic-esc media on screen. It's fun, has so much heart and was a great Superman representation. Give it a shot if you are interested.

Smallville stands as one of the most remarkable television series ever produced. The show exemplifies perfection, regardless of when it is viewed. I initially watched it during the years 2012-2013, and revisiting it eleven years later proved to be an extraordinary experience. The visual effects continue to impress even today, serving as a secondary source of entertainment alongside the compelling storytelling. I possess the complete box set, which I consider a true masterpiece. Within this collection, one can appreciate the artwork from seasons 1 to 5, depicting Clark Kent during his teenage years alongside his high school and college friends. It is fascinating to observe the evolution of the show, particularly when comparing the season 6-10 cover art, which illustrates Clark's transformation from a high school student to a reporter at the Daily Planet. The series transitioned from a vibrant, lighthearted tone featuring weekly monsters to a more serious narrative. Lex Luthor's character arc is particularly noteworthy, as he evolves from a friend to a distrustful figure, struggling to maintain his humanity while becoming a villain. His relationship with Lana Lang, marked by attempts at romance and eventual separation from Clark, has become legendary. The culmination of the series is remarkable, showcasing the mutual desire for trust between Lex and Clark, with Lex yearning for Clark's honesty while grappling with his own darkness. It raises the question of whether Lex might have avoided his descent into villainy had Clark been more forthcoming. A significant turning point in the narrative occurs with the introduction of Lex's sister, who is portrayed as a formidable Luthor determined to reclaim her brother. Her journey takes her from CEO of LuthorCorp to a figure willing to risk everything to witness Clark fulfill his destiny. From the outset, she encourages him to embrace his Kryptonian heritage, despite her controversial methods, which some may view as misguided. Ultimately, her character arc evolves from a powerful executive to a planet advocate, culminating in a realization that her actions have far-reaching consequences To the very end, Lex Luthor awakened. It is worth noting that he is not a clone, which is quite remarkable. Instead, he utilized parts from his clone to repair himself. Lex's brilliance allowed him to anticipate the possibility of his destruction and plan for his recovery if his original cells survived. Tess, recognizing that he had evolved into a more intelligent version of himself after his apparent demise, made a selfless decision. By erasing his memories without his knowledge, she ensured that all he recalls is being Lex Luthor; he remains unaware of Clark Kent or Kal-El. Her actions demonstrated her true character in the end, as she sought to protect the world by assisting Superman in having a fair fight against Lex Luthor.

I understood why they didn’t do it in earlier seasons but the moment Clark becomes Superman really deserved that moment.

But watching it sequencially makes complete sense, even if he fought a lot of Superman villains he was still way too naive and inexpert in battle, not the Superman that can be seen as overpowered in a lot of iterations. I think is a really well done origin story and the best thing WB has made in live action. Not too mention the best Lois Lane and Lois and Clark relationship ever. It is funny see throught the years how each entertainment trend was depicted in the episodes, you can tell what was popular at the time.

It also contradicts several episodes throughout the show that show clark as a superheo well into the future (like 1000yrs), Overall I thought it was a nice scene that shows a kind of "what-if" but as a resolution to Smallville it is a bait-and-switch of the most frustrating kind, and very very poor writing.

What I dislike about Smallville is they always said this was the story of Clark becoming Superman and is the reason Tom has said he’ll never wear the suit. Meanwhile the show tells most of the major Superman stories. It’s kinda like making a show about Peter Parker who’s bitten by a spider, but it takes ten years for him to learn his powers and become Spider-Man, but in those ten years Gwen dies, he finds out Norman is the Green Goblin, Ock becomes Ock, he fights Venom, he joins a small version of the Avengers and gets married to MJ. Like it would all be bizarre and not make sense because almost nothing was left for actual Spider-Man. I can’t remember exactly when it was, but I’d guess at around season four or five the show may as well have just become a Superman show. Nonsensical really. Although I stand by Tom and Michael being the best Clark and Lex of all time.

Great initial premise that’s gets lost in later seasons. The show does a great job of setting up the friendship, and eventual rivalry of Clark and Lex. It’s hands down the best part of the early seasons and the Luthors elevate the show from just following the “freak of the week”. Season 2 was absolute peak by adding to the Superman mythos with the caves and legend of Naaman and Seget. It was also cool to see a new version of Kryptonian technology that didn’t borrow from the movies (again early seasons, later seasons copied the films). The premise of “no flights, no tights” works as long as it applies to the whole show. It falls apart once you add characters in full costume or who can fly 🤷🏾♂️😂! When they only rigidly applied the rule to Clark it artificially slowed down his natural progression to service the plot. Once he’s interacting with other heroes in costume (later seasons) and wearing a “prototype “ suit the show became “Superman lite”. You can no longer justify Clark never wearing the actual suit IF YOU HAVE HIM WEARING PROTOTYPE SUITS AND BASICALLY BEING SUPERMAN FOR 2-3 seasons!!! 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ The show stopped being about Clark’s natural journey to becoming Superman and instead became an elseworld’s story with Clark as a reluctant hero he doesn’t choose to become Superman but just slowly gives in to his “Destiny “ after a lot of pressure from everyone. It has great moments in practically every season but it definitely lots it’s premise after the first 5 seasons or so.

Also Oliver never killed Oliver in season 8. You can't transplant organs from clones into/onto a body that's been reduced to a pile of ash. Lex was proven to be Sageeth in Talisman and was never going to die. We see him in the Finale in the same way that the Lex we saw in Bride was seen, with various life support systems attached to him. Whatever was killed in that truck was either a clone or a cyborg much like the cyborg Toyman in Echo and I'm leaning towards the latter for multiple reasons & evidence presented in seasons 8-10.

i JUST finished watching Smallville (I had never seen the whole series). The first 3 seasons are annoying, not much happens. But starting season 4, the story and the characters get deeper with some good developments. Not a perfect series but i loved watching it! Definitiely iconic. Tom Welling and Erica Durance are the best Clark Kent and Lois Lane (sorry Henri Cavill).

Loved this show, would have been great to see Tom in full suit. In the future this superman gives up his powers which is a big shame. (Shown in Superman&lois)

I loved Smallville and for its time it was good, a real kick start to the superhero series franchise coming to TV. I couldnt stand the intro music and sometimes the odd bit of cheesyness. 10 seasons was great and i own them all but i remember saying 10 years later they need to re-release it, starting off were tbey left it as a fully fledge Superman Tom Welling. It would of been cool to get a the simular vibe and more upto date cgi like we get in Superman & Lois which is a great show. Yet they could of made this series a 5 season that coincides with crisis on infinate earths and showing what happened with Clark giving up his powers and the Journey from smallville to retirement.

My favorite show of all times! Could they have consolidated the 100 blah seasons to like 4 or 5 epic/legendary seasons? Yes, but money and all that other stuff. 🤷🏽♂️❤️❤️

Idk why but so many people lately have been talking about Smallville lol. It's like, huh? Eh, whatever, it's a good show for the most part. Like, when it was bad, it wasn't bad, it was so bottom of the barrel, you'd think there's no hope for the show lol. But when Smallville was good, it wasn't good, it was great. Cuz so many people have been talking about it lately, I've been giving it a rewatch lol. Who would've guessed Smallville would've given us the definitive versions of some of Superman characters, like Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane being prime examples. Erica Durance is my favorite Lois Lane.

The reason more people are talking about Smallville again is because Tom and Michael are doing a Smallville re-watch podcast called TalkVille. They are on S3 and last week did the episode Shattered. They release one episode every Wednesday. It's on youtube. A lot of fans are watching along with them. Sure, the show isn't 100% perfect, Michael has been known to "shit on the show" quite a bit, but he's also praised it when it's good and has said that it deserves more recognition for inspiring the Arrowverse. When it was good it was great. I'd say the only true complaint I had about the show was letting the Clana drama go on for way too long. Otherwise I love Smallville to death and I have re-watched all 10 seasons many times, even the weaker episodes I have fun watching. Except S4's Ageless. Oh I'll watch it still, but it pains me every time lol. Smallville means the world to me. It changed my life in so many ways I can be grateful for.

@@LivstevMotherEarth Ik they do the podcast lol, I watch it from time to time lol. It's just why didn't people go crazy out of their minds about Smallville like people are now when they started the podcast lol? I just don't see how them doing the podcast where they are into Season 3 now and people just now are really talking about Smallville like crazy? Idk lol. Whatever, regardless, it's cool that people are. It's a great show and should be talked about more.

@@BULLETSCARER oh. Ha, sorry I didn't realise you knew. I guess most fans know by now lol but when they started I don't think everyone knew about it. Also, I think S3 tends to be a fan favourite especially with the build up of the awesome episodes Shattered and Asylum so the hype has gotten bigger now.

@@LivstevMotherEarth It's alright lol. I don't really watch or do podcasts lol. And yea, it's funny cuz I was watching the podcast every new episode initially when they started, and now from time to time I'll put it on, I'm behind lol, I will watch the next episode I need to watch, not the present, I'm actually almost done with Season 2 of the podcast lol. See, for me, I'm waiting for Season 5 and 7, those are my favorite seasons. Season 4 cuz of Erica Durance showing up as Lois was awesome and I can only imagine some of the funny stories about that lol.

@@BULLETSCARER Fair enough. I don't really do podcasts either, except for Michael's Inside of You podcast and now TalkVille, which is the highlight of my week now. I'm a massive fan of Tom so getting to see him on video every week is awesome lol. Kinda feels like a lifetime ago when I met him and Michael along with Erica and Laura, but it was only 4/5 years ago.😊 Yeah, I'm looking forward to them having Erica on for S4 too.

Smallvilles ending was just fine, I thought the last season as a whole was pretty bad, but the ending was just fine :) The arrowverse smallville thing was not fine at all tho, it went against everything smallville stood for.. In that universe Clark apparantly gave up, he finally embraced and accepted his destiny AND heritage(which was the hole point of the 10 seasons) in smallville to then just give up and live a normal life in arrowverse... It was dumb.

I watched it, but only because it filled the need of a superhero series. It annoyed me that, for the longest time, everything bad that happened was due to kryptonite. Then, my wife pointed out that Lana always has to make everything about herself. Literally, right after she said that, Clark had to comfort her when HIS dad died. LOL
