Jonathan Kent’s death by a heart attack is always the best and impactful version to me. It’s serves as an important lesson for Superman; that for all his powers and abilities, he’s not a God and he can’t save everyone
Spot on. I generally prefer when both Ma and Pa Kent are alive, as I like the dynamic plus 2 living parents contrasts nicely with Batman (0) and Wonder Woman (1, usually, although some recent versions have given Hippolyta a wife)
I absolutely agree with this. Though I loved Man of Steel, I did not like how Jonathan died, like Clark literally could have run normally to the dog himself and gotten back to them at the same speed a normal human would, and no one would've even noticed if he used his powers a bit due to how crazy the weather was.
100% this. It's where Clark learns that there is a limit to what he can do. As Christopher Reeve said in the original movie, "All those powers... and I couldn't even save him."
The fact that this whenever a show season drops it’s always ranked the highest from start to finish on the CW. It also won and got nominated for a bunch of rewards. If you love Superman this show will make you happy ngl. Currently excited for the final season to air this October. I hope you react to all 4 seasons tbh
@@Tizpe Yeah. They actually released a sneak peak of Superman vs (Spoiler) basically from where we left off last season. Got me me more hyped for that 2 Hour premiere on Oct 17z
smallville is insanely good and is about clark in high school discovering his powers and his history and its rly well done. it was also perfectly timed cause ep 1 aired like a few days after 9/11 happened and they werent sure if it'd be appropriate to air or not but they did and it was a huge success
1:58 Technically, Smallville is a show about Clark. He isn’t Superman. He’s young and he becomes Superman at the very end. Though he obviously still has powers since he was born with them.
I grew up watching the show Smallville. As good as some of these superhero shows and movies today are, Smallville will still be my favourite superhero show
This show will talk a bit about crisis on infinite earths. A 5 episode crossover that included arrow, supergirl, the flash, legends of Tomorrow, and batwoman. Without spoiling anything you will need to at least know the basic things from the crossover. You need to know that the multiverse was destroyed and then remade by the spectre. The mystery character left his universe seconds before the anti matter wave killed him. You will see it later in this season.
@@CarlosHuiskens I don't think spoilers are Don's biggest priority, considering he started with Flash, is 2-3 seasons behind on Arrow, and skipped Supergirl, Legends, Batwoman, and Black Lightning just to get to Superman and Lois. lol
No, because they stated that this Superman is it's own universe. Plus in season 2, I think it was, they clarified that by the general saying "even though your dad is the only one we have on this world...."
@@sarathomas8499 Superman being in it's own universe is a retcon though. The show was never intended to be set in it's own universe but Covid forced them to scrap crossovers with Supergirl & Batwoman. Eventually they gave up on further connecting this show to the wider Arrowverse even though everyone knew this show was meant to exist within the same Universe.
"Superman is boring. All he does is punch the problem." -every bad writer "But if you think there's a *chance* -- no matter how small -- that there might be just *one* more happy day out there -- then take my hand." -Superman, Superman #701
You can pretty much assume that this version of the character loosely follows the same canon as all the other Supermen we have seen, but most prominently like the first five seasons of Smallville.
Smallville is amazing! My first introduction to a real Superman besides the animated Superman. First celebrity crush was Tom Welling who plays Clark Kent.
sujperman and lois will get the final season this year around october so if you watch every episode every day you can literally see week to week on release the new and final season of episodes.
The first suit where he said his mom made it is a callback to early superman comics and TV. Smallville is a awesome show I still can't believe superman and Lois is ending. This is a great show I really liked the actors they licked.
This show is done amazingly, has great actors and great SFX. The show "Smallville" ran for ten years and didn't have Superman, but it tells the story of Clark Kent going to school and developing his powers. It's a top notch show! Even though the SFX is from the 2000s...
I've always loved this show. Such a great Superman show. I love this show for Superman and smallville for Clark. Can't wait to watch the series again through you Don
YESSSS THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD! Season 4 comes out in October and I’m gonna cry so much when this show is over. There’s still so many people who haven’t checked it out, or are skeptical of it. I had a friend tell me the other day “I thought everyone said that show was garbage” and I was thinking “are we talking about the same show?” This show means a lot to me, it came around in the year after my my passed, the twins remind me so much of my brother, it was the first project in a long time that reintroduced a wholesome Superman (he was the character in Supergirl but undermined by supergirl in her own show. And also this show is just a cut above the other CW stuff)
@@antonnilsson3793 Bro called the worst live action superman better than Tyler's superman who is arguably better than even Christopher reeve 🤣🤣🤣. Henry portrays not a single trait superman. He played an edge lord depressed bizzaro murderer cosplaying as superman while he was actually Ultraman in disguise. Tyler's superman is by far the greatest portrayal of modern superman and literally ripped directly from the pages of Rebirth Superman. Ultimate opinion of whom? A bunch of minority snyder garbage lovers ? Bro thinks anyone apart from some delusional snyder tards care about Henry's edge lord depressed bizzaro garbage man
@__Vexzy__0 shit got cancelled twice 🤣 Only reason I watched was because I saw a clip of zatanna and Dr fate, but then it was just cringe young adults who thought they were the shit. Basically teen titans but 100x worse
Clark's fear about them "telling someone" is a much bigger fear. Maybe it slips on accident, or an enemy weasels their way into their confidence and puts them in danger. Him being "Superman" isn't like him being an undercover cop. He has world-ending enemies who would kill to get vengeance on him, so his sons knowing puts them in danger. Up until this point, though, aside from like that one moment with the football, neither of the boys displayed any powers. So, why tell them until they need to know? Which just so happens to happen in this episode/at the funeral/party. It's not just about the boys not being ready or intelligent enough, it's a safety precaution to keep his sons safe on top of a fear for his son's mental health who's already dealing with social anxiety. So, I can't really fault him for wanting to wait until it's necessary.
Smallville is like a slow burn of the superman story. You can really feel it draw on and on with a plot. You can feel it especially when you know his story and are just waiting for them to get to the point you know is coming, at the slowest pace they can. Other than that its ok.
The majority of adults would not tell their teenage kid such a huge secret. Especially when one of them has mental issues. Wanting to fit in or is being bullied; dropping that knowledge off is what a kid might do. They’re 14 right now; Jordan is not that mature like Jonathan is.
smallville was the best clark Kent that show was amazing it basically shows how he becomes superman which takes a long time it was the best superman interpretation of clark Kent during that time
Great thing about watching Superman & Lois is, you dont need to catch up like how you need to on Arrow, since its not directly connected to the Arrowverse....despite being connected....but not..... confused yet? Good, welcome to the club.
Please continue this show. Easily the best DC show OF ALL TIME. The writing has been amazing every episode since day 1 and every character acts like an actual person as opposed to other shows like Arrow and The Flash. You should also try Smallville, it’s my personal favourite show, but Superman & Lois is the best (if that makes sense).
SMALLVILLE is the BEST.... watch the pilot too at some point if you'd like. Its about Clark as a teen, early 2000s feel but still the best. One of the best depictions of Clark, Lois and especially Lex Luther.....Superman & Lois is good too. The difference is one show he's a teen living in Smallville before he became Superman, the other he's now Superman, much older, married with children and back living in Smallville. Enjoy
0:45 It's a pretty good show man, so is Gotham. Check out Smallville too! Bitsie Tulloch is a really good Lois in this show, BUT my heart will ALWAYS belong to Erica Durance's Lois Lane, from the second she talks to Clark it's apparent that Clark's going to have his work cut out for him. lol
I just started watching Gotham a few weeks ago, and while it’s super wacky, I’ve really enjoyed it so far, just finished season 3. I’ve been told that it kind of falls off with season five, and it’s not for everyone, but it’s been a lot of fun and I think the end of its season 3 is a better place than the end of the Flash season theee. I’ve enjoyed it more than all of the arrow verse shows, and while I the writing isn’t as good as this show, or something like Daredevil, right now it’s in my top three favorite live action superhero shows, behind this and DD.
Also, Smallville is the shit 🔥 If you don’t know anything about Superman, it’s the perfect show to be thoroughly educated AND invested on/in his lore lol.
Tyler became my favourite during this show, the amount of content they give him his phenomenal 👏🏻 I love snyders movies and interpretations but BvS personally for me his more Batman heavy than superman. Henry got fucked majorly but the content he was giving to work with. Superman & Lois deserves far more credit than it gets, A+ for me
Im bias towards Flash because its my favorite show but in terms of quality and writing superman and lois is the best CW show. You're gonna enjoy this one Don
yes, smallville is amazing, its superman growing up and learning and gaining his powers in high school, eveyr episode is like him fighting ppl gaining powers from krptonite too, sounds worse then it is but its an amazing show.
Word of advice if you do decide to check out Smallville in the future just know it's a show that came out in 2001 and there are 10 seasons with 217 episodes in total and it ended in 2017.
I'd say Smallville is the best superman show out there. Idk how it would be watching it now tho.. I haven't seen it since it was on TV. Then it was a great show. I'd say give it a shot..
Omg I’m so glad you’re reacting to this. If you loved the cinematography of Man of Steel, you’re gonna really love this. The writing is great also; literally every character on screen is well written. I’d honestly say it’s the best out of the Verse 🤷🏾♂️ Not one season has missed
Bro im so happy you started this as well! Just in time for the final season in October, on top of the Arrowverse videos that I am religiously watching of yours everyday. The next few months are going to be fun with you!
This show is peak the CGI is great the acting is amazing and tyler plays the character perfectly
fr I just wish the flash had the same CGI level it would've made it so much better
@@AGRA-l9f The budget has to be divided upon more and more cast so the budget for CGI and to afford greater companies is just not a thing anymore.
@@DaikhanYT yeah ur right but still the flash would've looked so fucking clean with this CGI
even when he's angry or pissed he doesn't seem like a different character and just seems like clark is angry or pissed
Jonathan Kent’s death by a heart attack is always the best and impactful version to me. It’s serves as an important lesson for Superman; that for all his powers and abilities, he’s not a God and he can’t save everyone
absolutely, miss me with that snyder bs

But he will keep trying to save everyone because he is Superman.
Smallvlle is fucking goated and without that we likely wouldnt have the arrowverse.

Oh nice! I thought they canned it after the third season. Good to know there will be a fourth!
Bro im telling you as a man who was never a superman fan this show is always worth the watch
His son playing injustice is just a peak conundrum...
injustice 2 to be exact
I assume in-universe it's just Superman as a playable character in Mortal Kombat (even though in our world, it's obviously Injustice 2).
smallville is insanely good and is about clark in high school discovering his powers and his history and its rly well done. it was also perfectly timed cause ep 1 aired like a few days after 9/11 happened and they werent sure if it'd be appropriate to air or not but they did and it was a huge success
smallville is THE BEST depiction of clark kent
Eh. This one is more based on the comics. He captures Clark's goofiness and personally to a T.
Not If you read comics. This is by far the best and the most comic accurate depiction
@@piyushy5877 exactly!
1:58 Technically, Smallville is a show about Clark. He isn’t Superman.
He’s young and he becomes Superman at the very end.
Though he obviously still has powers since he was born with them.
LET’S GO! HE FINALLY STARTED S&L! It’s my favorite CWverse show! And Superman is my favorite DC character! I’m so excited for this!
The synopsis/description of the show doesn't do it justice. This is actually a really good show.
I grew up watching the show Smallville. As good as some of these superhero shows and movies today are, Smallville will still be my favourite superhero show
I love this, the best Superman ever.
SMALLVILLE IS GOATED BTW
Dude really went ahead and skipped the entire Arrowverse untill the Superman and Lois
Superman and Lois in an incredible show. It still has lots of action in it. Please keep watching it.
This is one of my favourite shows of all time. It’s the best Superman adaptation since Christopher Reeve in 1978. Please keep watching Don!
I swear this guy just knows what we want

Smallville is the best dc superhero show, PERIOD
Smallville is a great show that start it all. It is more about discovery of clark abilities and his school years for the first 4 seasons i think

The best superman story telling (in my opinion) is when superman can't just punch/fly/fight his way through an enemy.

KEPP WATCHING THISSSSSS. FLASH , Superman & lois and Smallville are my 3 favourite shows
Superman & Lois was/is a great addition to the CW Arrow-verse. Such a great show.
Such a great show in my opinion, and as a huge fan of Superman and his family in the comics this gave me everything I ever wanted in my opinion.
Don should give Smallville a chance.
You can pretty much assume that this version of the character loosely follows the same canon as all the other Supermen we have seen, but most prominently like the first five seasons of Smallville.

The reason there is even an Arrow verse is because of Smallville! You should definitely check out at least the first episode!
