Live action Lex? Rosenbaum is best, hands down. But the voice... animated Lex always wins out because of that. Now if we could get Rosenbaum's portrayal and general look, with Clancy Brown (the voice actor from the DCAU) doing the voice? THAT would be amazing!

@@thisisnotachannel I mean you have Mr. Krabbs as Lex Then Michael Rosenbaum as Wally West at the time.

@@jack-exzolt9858 "Hi, I'm Eugene... and I like money." Mr. Krabs is possibly my favorite animated character of all time... and I started watching Spongebob in my 20's with my daughter!

Miss TESSMACHERRRRRRRRRRR

I grew up with Smallville, so it will always be special to me, Clark and Lana went on for way too long and they should of had Lois and Clark together a lot sooner,

Rosenbaum was excellent as Lex 💯 💯 💯

Smallville animated series is next soon.

Rosenbaum = The Best Lex.

To be fair, this dude very clearly never watched the show. Just based on the few minutes I managed to suffer through, he doesn't even seem to read comics.

Also Clark not being subtle about his powers at all made him seem kinda dumb to me, but over time got really funny

Or memory wiped

Lex should have brain damage from all those knock outs

At least they didn't give him a fucking magic memory erasing kiss, like the Christopher Reeves movies... Imagine him having to kiss Lex everytime he witnessed something "Supermanish"? THAT ... would've turned the show into a comedy!

that was kind of a 2000s show cliche

Kind of like Buffy.

@@parkerboy795 in buffy the characters were aware though. smallville they're just kind of in a town that was directly impacted by a meteor and not only is there no tourism but a lot of the characters are like "nothing interesting ever happens in smallville".

@@jamescheddar4896 True. It's kind of funny how later in the series Lex talks about how weird things are in the town and while it is an indication that he was losing it and was trying to excuse his villainy, it would be weird and frustrating that people write things off like meteor freaks, alien ships, and weird symbols.

@@parkerboy795 it sounds like something out of Saturday Night Live or something: Lex is the only who reacts to all the strange shit going on while everyone don’t react at all.

to be fair... people knew, they just didn't say much about it cause they didn't like to think about it. it was kept to a whisper. And then there was Chloe... with her whole wall of weird.

I agree Darkseid and Doomsday are villians a young Clark Kent should not be able to defeat.

Lois did call Clark Smallville as a nickname, so you could argue it’s still about Smallville but rather Clark than the town.

Honestly it felt like as Clark grew and became more like Superman, the dc universe grew and expanded as well. It felt like the silver age comics where Superboy met Lex, GA, Batman, Lois and other heroes and villains before he became Superman. It works in the canon it is creating and universe it built up.

@Will N it’s an elseworld. Also Smallville usually took elements from whatever was in continuity at the time to build their own Superman universe (President Lex in the early runs being put as Lex definitive future, Clark at first being more like Post Crisis Clark but after a while ended up taking a more Christopher Reeve/Post Infinite Crisis like personality, taking LOSH and JSA from Geoff John’s current run, season 9 being similar to the New Krypton arc that was out at the time, Bart being the Flash mainly bc they couldn’t use Barry and Wally but OYL made Bart the Flash, Green Arrow being a killer and having a public identity around the same time Rise and Fall of Green Arrow/Arsenal came out). Not to mention movies like Superman Returns, Iron Man, Watchmen and the original Superman movies. Superman continuity has been consistently changing details but Smallville mixed and merged to create its own universe. Smallville didn’t exist in a bubble but was influenced by so many different sources. It was like if Donner Superman had a mix of silver age, post crisis and DCAU but in a post 9/11 world. I’m not going to act like Doomsday was perfect but it fit in the context of the show same with each of the other people he encounter that forced Clark to reconsider his own worldview and forced him to become a more proactive hero. And it also introduced characters as probably potential introductions before their live action counterparts in future movies or tv shows. But it showed the importance of Clark and how influential he was to other heroes in a way no other show or movie could do as well. Clark set a shining example and proved through his actions why he is world’s greatest hero, he doesn’t necessarily have to be the first but when he did go public it changed everything for heroes.

Smallville should have ended when they graduated and they could have done a sequel show called metropolis. It could have basically been the second half of the show except people call him superman an he wears the costume. Frame it as early superman not an origin story.

that was so goddamn funny

There was fucking earthquakes, it reminds of a Robot Chicken sketch about Krypto being in heat and utterly demolishing a car as he’s humping it.

that was season 8😅😅

@@ilhamrj2599 Season 7 actually... Season 8 Lana was only there in a some 3 episodes.

Chloe’s reaction to the “yeah, that was probably us” exchange was priceless. I can remember in the early ‘60s the whole conversation about how Supes could do some serious damage when he finally “let go” - those little swimmers breaking the sound barrier, etc.😂

I agree. I don't understand how some people think there was no chemistry between them. There was alot from the get go. Maybe it's because the show dragged out the will they/won't they with Lana too long and didn't really have her and Clark break up but rather forced apart. Either way, Clark and Lois in Smallville reminded of them in the DCAU where Lois is attracted to Clark, but in denial.

Agreed…. I hate that “Smallville” Lana Lang. Lois Lane had much more chemistry with Clark. Lana needed to leave the show, after Season 5.

@@ChienaAvtzon I'm cutting her some slack because despite her flaws, I'm more annoyed at the stories focusing on her rather than her specifically, but she should have either stayed gone after season 3 and the show shouldn't have invented that ridiculous witch storyline to bring her back, or she and Clark should have definitively broken up earlier because they just didn't work and not because of Clark's secrecy or Lana absorbing kryptonite.

@@parkerboy795 - While, this video brings up some very legitimate criticisms of the show. It is mind boggling just how wrong he is on Clark and Lana’s relationship. It was unhealthy, for both of them, since the pilot episode. For me, “Smallville” died when Lana was not written off, after being the cause of Jonathan Kent’s death. It was so unrealistic and cruel to have Clark still pine for her.

@@ChienaAvtzon I think it was more along the lines of him praising their chemistry, but I agree, the relationship was unhealthy. I hate to say this because I like him and the show and characters do good enough job bagging on him, but Jonathan died because of Clark. Or more precisely, because of Jor El. Jor-El's extremely questionable demands and actions led to Clark making understandable, but very costly decisions. I'll admit it was a it too much to see him still be infatuated with her when she was with Lex, which really shouldn't have happened for many reasons.

Taking ones life typically doesn't bring peace

Agreed

Yep Smallville died after season 7.

He was getting tiring by that point. I would made him recurring from that point

Indeed

Died for me when Pete left. I still enjoyed season 4 and part of season 5 but after that I found most of it repetitious and bland. Pete didn't seem like a very important character at the time but I remember how it felt when he left. And Alicia was also important. Getting rid of those 2 was a mistake. Alicia could have redeemed a lot of the show.

Yea Clark and lex’s friendship was definitely the crux of the show and a lot of what made it so great atleast early on before the actor who plays lex left. I grew up with the show and I remember wanting lex to just never fully turn evil even though I knew it was inevitable for him to become Clark’s greatest enemy

Lois ruined Smallville

​@@macgyversmacriley5604bruh

Lana was THE WORST

@@skurinski No, Lana ruined Smallville.

💯

same on every front of your comment

I think my least favorite episode was vampire Lana

I watched Smallville when I was a kid so it just has a nostalgic feel and i love it so much. I cannot watch seasons 3 and 9 tho. In season 9 the cast is basically just Clark Louis and Chloe and its lame

Lanaville is horrible. They still got the best Luthor

@@colincnote2120 Yeah I feel season 9 is one of the weaker seasons but I really liked his trenchcoat costume that he had in that season. Whats wrong with season 3?

Well, Vee himself said he loved it all throughout, and I share that sentiment. But no matter how much we love it, there's no denying that the show had some real low points, even if those lows weren't enough to ruin our overall experience with it.

@@MoostachedSaiyanPrince Yeah I mean the show had problems. Me personally I did not have too many issues with the show except for Lois. I know a lot of people stopped liking the show once the show hit post high school and then there were some people didn't like anything after Lana and Lex left the show as well.

Exactly there's so many amazing things about it that the negatives you can easily overcome

John Schiender if i spelled that right? is his name my apologies if i did

A suit he never wore.

@@thribs didn't he wear it in the. Finale? We didn't see him wear the whole thing but we did see part of it

@@rolandofgilead43 He never wore it. It was all cgi in wide shots. Part of the reason was because it was Brandon’s Superman Returns suit which probably didn’t fit him

@@thribs oh okay I think I remember reading they picked that one cause it fit more with the shie the the classic original

i agree but people would argue why do it for a year? it's funny how pissed off people are that he never put the suit on when that was the Deal when it was brought to him back in the day. it was never the intention to do that either by it's creators really only cause it's not about superman but Clark Kent. but i would have loved to see him kick ass in the suit in the finale though

@@rolandofgilead43 like I said he had already basically done everything. I feel like once he put the suit on it was probably just too much and the Smallville world doesn't seem like it needed him too much, so yea retirement well deserved, but I couldn't agree with you more

@@JJMcSkoozie222 I haven't seen the entire show yet I've got 4 more left of season 4. A lot of people don't consider that cannon as I now I dunno it was great seeing him Plat him in his 40s though.

@@JJMcSkoozie222 As I understood it, the cameo is supposed to take place 10 years after the last scene in the finale, which is 8 years after he becomes Superman. So I'm guessing he was Superman for around 12-16 years, which is a fine run. As you said, dude had been saving the world since he was in high school, he's been a super-hero for more than 20 years at that point, he's earned his rest.

@@rolandofgilead43 it was more than a year. he officially became superman in 2011, by 2017-2018 he was still superman according to flashforwards, and then retired by 2019 (crisis). so thats a total of 8 years of him being superman, plus the fact he was already doing superhero stuff well before 2011

Lois always felt like Clark's second option to me, a rebound.

Speaking of romance, the Chloe x Clark subplot that was dropped because he had go rescue Lana wasn’t mentioned here. And I was hoping that Chloe would be Clark’s lady instead of Lois, in this continuity.

Yeah, I think it's best to separate the art from the artist. She gave some great performances on Smallville.

Not to defend her too much, but I think Mack was a part of the cult, not a cult leader. She was sort of a victim herself. She was, at least according to my wife, losing money in season 8-10 because the cult was bleeding her dry. I hope she find Jesus and seeks forgivnes. We all can lose our way.

Nah, the doctors are probably all high on meteor rock

She was suffering alone after Clark broke up with her in Season 5, that she started using that green liquid stuff to see her dead parents and I hated Clark for it. None of them were ever there for her, that's when she turned to Lex

Certainly the most entertaining

Their relationship was annoying she never took accountability for anything she did wrong blamed Clark it made me not like Lana

Then you find that he wasn't the real Jimmy Olsen.

He’s also the one of the few to make the connection between Clark and the Red Blue Blur and he doesn’t get memory loss for it.

@@jbcatz5 He really should have been let in on the secret at the beginning of season 8. And he shouldn't have died.

@@jbcatz5 I found it funny that Clark didn't reveal his secret to Lois because he didn't want to put her in harms way, but she ended getting in harms way anyway. Like every episode, so it literally wouldn't have changed anything aside from 1 episode.

David Martinez That’s the staple of the Lois Lane character, getting herself in trouble in pursuit of a story. At least for STAS and Smallville she wasn’t a meek hostage, she had a tongue on her and knew how to get information even when captive.

Right. I'm pretty sure there are better effects in the first seasons than in the later ones.

When I watched it for the first time, I thought we would get a few seasons of Smallville and then there would be a new show called Metropolis after it ended with the same characters and cast. It was kind of weird that it didn't happen.

I remember those days too. Of course, when Supernatural came along and I wanted to stay up an extra hour later to watch both, that took a little more convincing.

I remember when they would switch days and time slots, 1st it was tues, then Wed, and then Thursday if my memory is correct

Right? Lois never fit the show as anything but comedic relief or as a nuisance. Lana was integral to the show and to Clark's development. Not only was she the love of Clark's life, but she was also a deeply emotionally motivated character with a long, traumatic history. In a thematic sense, she fit the Hero Vs. Villain narrative as the innocent caught between them. The show clearly paints our future "Superman" as a Savior and Lex is becoming the devil and gives Lana a choice between light and dark. That makes Lana our "Eve" which sets her up for a really cool redemption story.

Really, Amy Adams is your example of "bland Lois"? She was imho way way better Lois Lane than Margot Kidder for example.

@@Ryan_Wayne Yes, Kate Bosworth level of blah is unmatched. Amy Adams had the strength of Lois, but hardly the gutsy punchy personality. No pizzazz, no moment where it's like "No wonder the strongest man in the world loves her." I've seen her show that in other movies ironically so that could be a more of a Zach Snyder DC universe thing where everything is dark and bruting.

@@rashb3994 And with Margot Kidder's Lois, who did not recognize Superman unless he took down his glasses, you didnt wonder why strongest man in the world or anyone in the world for that matter, would love her? :D I mean, she wasnt really smart, was she? And imho she wasnt even pretty. I think Amy Adams had some "gutsy punchy" lines in Man of Steel (remember for example that one about measuring dicks?) and she found out about Clark identity with her investigation without seeing him more than once. Meanwhile Margot... well we both now, how that was portrayed. I think cheesy could be the right word for it. So I think Amy's Lois was much more impressively written character - and I also think Amy is a better actress in general. PS: No comment for Kate Bosworth, I dont hate her portrayal, but I dont love it either.

@@Ryan_Wayne Lois and the rest of the world not getting past the glasses thing is part of Superman lore. It was pulled off better with Kidder because she saw Clark as a charity case, so him being Superman was unbelievable to her. That's what makes it great.. I actually love Snyder verse but he's not great with those little small details. There's a reason why the Richard Donner first Superman is still considered the best one. You see why Superman falls in love with Kidder's version of Lois because they're polar opposites. He's a quiet humble smalltown guy, and she's rah rah, bold, fearless and sassy. Again I agree on Amy Adams presenting more of a silent strength and fearlessness but then she goes into emo mode when he's gone. Totally goes against the character. Also because they're both blah in Snyder verse their romance is hardly believeable. It's like friendzonish. Lol @ she's not even pretty. Man, don't let the feminist here you say that 😂. But yeah sure most of the Lois's are cuter. You get one point for that and yes Amy is a way better actress probably then all of them. I guess I don't have a problem with AA, I just wished they unleashed her full blown sass capabilities.

@@rashb3994 I guess I get your point of view with that polar opposites theory. The thing is that I just didnt really buy it in those movies, same way as I didnt buy it with Clark and Lois in Smallville, where they were portrayed similarily as opposites and it still felt "friendzonish" to me. What you are saying might make sense on paper to me, but watching those movies, Cavill & Adams always felt to me more believeable as a couple than Reeve & Kidder. And I could say the same thing about Clana vs Clois in Smallville btw. Well Donner's Superman might be considered as the best, however that's another thing I dont agree with. And I'm not arguing which one is considered best, I'm just saying the Snyder movies and Cavill/Adams portrayals of those characters are the best ones for me. What you are saying about Lois seeing him as charity case, well its true obviously, but to me its another thing I kind of have a problem with. Clark is a loser in her eyes and once she discovers he is superhero, she is big time in love with him, how romantic.. I mean I know its a clasic story where she was kind of in love with Superman from the beginning, its not like I would hate that movie(s) for that, but I definitely prefer the story where Lois develops some kind of relationship with Clark on human level before he is Superman and the suit in the end doesnt matter. And it was portrayed that way in Man of Steel, even though the romance maybe could use a little more build up.

They were the leads of the show and they really REALLY sold it. They were the best and deserved so much better.

@@ohifonlyx33 i agree

no. they were super annoying. RUINED the show

There was physical attraction between Clark and Lana. They really did not know each other, plus they were supposed to be teenagers Sometimes, those teenage crushes are based on fantasy. As they got closer and they got older, the fantasy wears off. Reality comes in, and they grew apart. There were too many lies and secrets between them. The trust was not there to begin with. Clark and Lois, when you look carefully, there was an attraction. The banter between them was natural. They got closer and in time independed on each other. Shared their thoughts and feelings of what was going on in their lives. It deepen their connection. They both cared for each. Love grew. It was not forced. Remember the difference of puppy love and real adults in love. Friendship is the basis of a lasting relationship.

​@@Niacaraboo You couldn't be more wrong if you tried... I have a long list of scenes that prove Lana and Clark were a far better love story than Lois and Clark.. Lois never cares about Clark, she thought of Clark as a dork for 4 seasons and never suspected him to be anyone worthwhile. Lois is completely surprised when Clark turns out to be the Blur. Lois cared about Oliver and when she suspected he was Green arrow she did everything to find out his secrets. Lois never supports Clarks whereas Lana was there for him so many times... the list with scenes and episodes is below... In Season 3 Ep 4 After the commando Anti-meteor vigilante tells Lana he k!lled Clark.. Lana attacks him and then instead of saving herself she risks her life to report the attack on Clark to the cops. Lois never risked her life for Clark even once. In S05E13, After Clark's father's watch is stolen Lana goes to all Metropolis pawn shops and finds the watch, despite the fact that she was upset at Clark for keeping secrets from her. Jonathan's death is one of the most difficult times for Clark but Lois is never once seen consoling Clark. What kind of friend is that? This despite how much the Kent' had supported Lois during her time in Smallville. In Season 1 and 2 there are dozens of scenes where Clark and Lana support each other throughout their emotional struggles. In Season 2 Episode 11 Lana says she doesn't care about Clark's secrets. In season 2 Episode 21 Lana initiates relationship with Clark despite knowing he is not being honest with her. It is Clark that pushes her away throughout because of his fears of hurting... Lana is always there for him. The real truth is Clark never cared for Lois anywhere near as much as he cared for Lana. Clark never shows as much fear for Lois safety and welbeing as he does for Lana's welbeing. Lana says in Season 5 episode 3 after Clark was shot and was lying in hospital unconscious that from the first moment she saw him she knew Noone could make her as happy as he could but she also knew that he would always be running around trying to help others, and that this day (aka the day he is dying in hospital) would come and it was what made her pull away. In short, Lana loved Clark and Clark loved Lana from the first moment they saw each other. Further more, In Season 1 episode 19 seeing Chloe and Clark become closer Lana decides to break up with Whitney but doesn't because Whitney's father dies in that episode. In season 1 episode 10 Clark and Lana nearly kiss but Clark decides not to go for it because he knows Whitney's father is ill and kissing would hurt Lana later. Only reason Lana doesn't break up with Whitney in season 1-2 is because of his father's illness, later his death and Whitney going to war. In Season 3 she does everything she can to make things work with Clark after he runs off and only gives up after she is literally brainwashed by magent boy in season 3 episode 7. Despite being brainwashed her love for Clark only slightly reduces, and she tells Clark she won't wait for him forever. In Season 4 Finale, Lana eventually confesses her Love to Clark again and freely gives the Element key to Clark. She denied the element to both Jason and Lex. S04 Episode 19 where Clark loses his memory and falls for Lana with just one look, and S04 E21 where Clark and Lana find and raise a baby together are also examples of their love for each other. In S05 Clark breaks her heart because he couldn't continue hurting her by lying to her about his powers and inability to be physically intimate with her... And she goes into a tailspin of depression which almost results in her death S05 episode 17. Lex then takes advantage of her extreme emotional vulnerability to manipulate her into sex and later convinces her marry with false pregnancy. She only marries Lex because Lionel threatens to murder Clarke if she doesn't do it. Lana dies, get tortured, enters into a false marriage, absorbs Kryptonite all to protect Clark. The sacrifices she makes for Clark are so many and so large that Lois can't hold a Candle to them... Also Lana despite everything never disrespects Clark which Lois continuously treats him like an immature boy for 4 years. Lois sees Clark fully nude in Season 04, but shows almost no s€xual interest in Clark till Season 8. Lana befriended and fell in love with the boy next door and vice versa... They were both orphans, both came from the same background and had a lot in common. Lois's love for Clark has no basis, she thinks he is a dork, their love is just something written into the script to make comic book fans happy. Lois first comes to smallville she hat€s Smallville because it's a boring small town. But then she just keeps coming back why? It's written in the script that is why... Lois is supposed to be an Army brat raised by an hororable general but from the moment she comes she behaves more like a spoiled brat. At first she imposes herself on the Kents and abus€s their hospitality without doing anything in return for them. Even Lex was a better house guest that Lois. Also Lois's alleged closeness with Chloe never makes it on to screen and is never explained. Chloe lived her entire childhood in Smallville, Lois never even came to smallville before Season 4 so how were they so close? Chloe has more sisterly scenes with Lana than Lois. Lois is a badly written character in Smallville first she hat€s Smallville then she can't get enough of Smallville. First she thinks that Clark aka the extremely handsome guy who is over 6 ft tall and has a 6 pack is a "los€r". Any number of comments where she puts down Clark to other Characters across multiple seasons is proof, this only changes in later seasons. Clark also is not physically attracted to Lois unlike his electric biological and even generational attraction to Lana. Remember Jor-El had an affair with Lana's great Aunt not Lois's great aunt. I am not saying Lois and Clark can't hook up but it's at best a mild attraction. They have very little in common, they are not physically attracted to each other much. Like I said before, Lois and Clark is more like a boring accountant romance. Lois and Clark is a relationship of convinience which is real life would either lead to an unhappy sexless marriage or a break up... Lana and Clark are true soulmates, they are torn apart by circumstances beyond their control not each other.

Agreed, except for Doomsday. In my opinion it was a cheap, dollar store version of the story, and not very interesting.

I didn't like the ending of the season. Him losing because his supporters had super hearing, and he lost control, even though he had always maintained his composure. Just felt super lazy.

I understood it, she was seen as the town's sympathetic character because of the meteor tragedy and attempted a lot of self growth, while being somewhat empahetic to others (at times naively) plus she was gorgeous. What I dont think people noticed was how much the character herself was uncomfortable with it and was part of her journery and development (That was shrouded in everyone else storylines that also stopped and started). Theres a good video on her character I saw a while back that kinda analyzed it.

She probably banged every producer 🤣

My headcanon is that she has a meteor power that enhances her pheromones.

@@Hulkzilla0 Also she's played Kristin Kreuk and it was the early 2000s if you know you know lol

Her list of achievements are implausible, and that’s before the show went from the WB to the CW. Running a coffee shop, keeping up with her school work, her equestrian endeavours, developing an art portfolio in complete secret because the plot needed her to be at a Paris art school to have her possessed by an ancient witch to compete for kryptonian macguffins on top of the relationship ups and downs and getting kidnapped or targeted by a meta human every other week. It took Lana literally imbuing herself with kryptonite to have her written off the show for good, only returning in the season 11 comics.

Tom didn't want to wear the suit until the finale.

@@willfanofmanyii3751 I really don’t understand his dislike of even attempting to wear the suit. Everyone watching the show desperately wanted to see him wear that thing. I do hope he didn’t have personal body image issues, but throughout the show we do see him bare chested even almost naked at times and he definitely had the physique for that suit.

​@@ssjcosty Exactly, I never really understood why he never really wore the suit. But according to one comment I saw a while ago, Tom didn't want to be known as just or always be associated with "Superman" (something like that), like how Tobey Maguire automatically brings "Spiderman" to mind and Robert Downey Jr is commonly known as "Iron man". Personally, the above reason still doesn't make sense. Firstly, it's not really a big deal, like he's in a Superman origin show for crying out loud. Secondly, isn't Christopher Reeves already known as THE "Superman"?? Yeah, Smallville is a mixed experience in general.

Yup, that decision was terrible. They should have give Clark & Lana more relationship or lifestyle issues than force them to he apart

For a second I read "Lois and Lana as Clark's parents" and I was VERY confused.

Amen!!!👏 Very well said. They actually had a real relationship. Lana was famous for being pretty...that's all! Lois had substance and passion

well said, thats my exact thought on this matter, clois was so... smooth, they had the best development as a couple, I literally watched the last 2 seasons just because of their relationship, not to mention lois was waaaaay more interesting than lana, although lana was kinda great at some points too. but absolutely loved lois and clark, specially that episode where they are dancing on the barn and clark actually flies without realizing it. my fav episode ever.

This show had to categorize the women and I guess Chloe occupied that spot as the good friend.

Chloe's purpose was being Clarks best friend and his primary side kick essentially , she took on Lana's comic book role in that regard. So she has a purpose. Tess replaced Lex in the narrative as a archenemesis.

@@joshuarobertson8866 No Chloe's purpose was so they could hack into everything to get answers. You'd think Lex would have better security after being hacked so often, and Clark telling him that he's seen the evidence to connect it to Luthor Corp.

@@DavidMartinez-ce3lp a lot of that evidence was physical half the time

@@mikemorro140 yeah, i think Chloe even made a joke about it one time. "You think Lex finally figured out how to cover his tracks." Or something like that. It became very rinse and repeat, and made Lex look stupid.

And for me it still tried to paint itself as a superman origin yet by season 8 or 9 it's practically just a normal super man adaptation

@@jadenbryant9283 by season 8 and 9 they were a Lois and Clark show but I still think it wasn’t a Superman show totally

You’ll love Erica on this show called Saving Hope then, as well as the rest of the cast One of my favorite shows

There are convincing arguments for him to do it and for him to not do it. Me personally, I see it as another world that followed Smallville's history until Clark gave up his powers and the one we watched continued in the comic continuation.

Same. They spent 10 years developing Clark's powers and having him learn to accept his destiny. Then, about 10 years later we find out that he had thrown it all away sometime earlier. So basically they spent more time setting up something than it would actually last, completely invalidating the series.

He already beat all his villains pre-Superman. Might as well retire early.

I saw that same scene but the writer's for that show kind of screwed up. Clark sold the farm to live in Metropolis with Lois in season 10. So, how is it that he's living back on the farm? ? ? ? Somebody didn't do their homework.

well i mean he already beat all of his villains. and there already a bunch of heroes established way before he put on the cape, even the justice league already formed so what was the point of superman? plus he was superman for 8 years before retiring.
