Top 7 "Legendary" Moments From Smallville
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 ก.ย. 2024
- I got so much good feedback from the first, I thought what the hell, I'll do another.
I couldn't decide on just a top 5 so, 7 it is.
These are the top seven moments in Smallville that have had and will have legendary status forever. These are the moments that had us hoping for what we already knows happens.
I loved the scene where the woman sees lex's future. Where he's the president standing on skulls and it starts to rain blood. But she dies due to the horror of the vision. So lex never finds out
Phillip Greaves Oh yeah, loved that scene. 😎
Do you know in that scene the nuclear missile scene was taken directly from terminator the movie. Crazy right?
Jackie Burroughs was the perfect choice for that role
At the end of smallville, and also in the crossover event, Lex is president
I agree
smallville is by FAR the best superman series that will ever be. You cannot beat micheal rosenbaum as lex lutour or tom welling as clark kent. you simply cannot.
it truly humanised the characters and made them all likeable and interesting, like lex could've easily just been an ass from the start and clark could've just been doing his superman thing right away but the time that they took to develop and make real characters shows just how much everyone wanted the show to be good. Normally i find superman boring (outside injustice)
Tho they should ve done 5 s on him becoming supes and rest on his adventures but anyways
bloodsportstar Straight up truth!
Or his dad and mom in the show the whole damn cast
dude fucking Epic Man Michael Rosenbaum is Lex Luthor was Legend
Michael Rosenbaum was such a supremely excellent Lex, managed to capture so much depth of character, expression, and even humanity. He portrayed the gray area of Lex's moral compass so damn well. I like the show as a whole very much, but he was definitely the main reason that my dad and I watched the show.
Yes! Grey characters are far more interesting, and Michael is clearly a good actor! Won't ever be a Lex like that. Except, minus end of S7 and finale, it was interesting.
Clark was terrible though
Are really surprised? He did great as Wally
Michael Rosenbaum was probably the best actor on the show.
John Glover is incredible too. Tom welling became a very good actor too.
Umm... What about "I am the villain of the story" - Lex Luthor
"Looks like you were right about me all Mr. Kent. I AM the villain of the story!"
I thought that should be here too
My favorite Lex scene, ever!!
Oh yeah! th-cam.com/video/OFOca70UpSA/w-d-xo.html
I didn't agree there were alot more and better legendary moments bizarro lex as zod lionel as durrell lex as president when Clark was shown what life would be like. Coming back and Stopping the missle second meteor shower
Lex (michael) was what made 50% of smallville interesting tbh
Someone asked me today "can superman fly without his cape?" And I said "I don't know, can you walk without your shoes!"
Capes are more like socks if anything XD.
more like, "can you walk without your shirt?"
Wow! Who asked that? C'mon man
Stop This I hate when people ask stupid shit like that
😂😂😂
Any one else want the Clark Lex friendship to last even though you knew that they were had to end up enemies
Right???? It was so depressing. I remember watching the show loving their brotherly relationship and being so sad knowing that it wouldn’t/couldn’t last.
There were several old stores I read in the late 79s and first half of the 80s that had future stores that told that luthor would eventually become redeemed
God Michael Rosenbaum does his role so well!
So true
plus if you look up his other work you will find out he is the flash in the DCAU so thats awesome how much he has helped to shape DC over the years and how many people know of his work
& Eisenberg shit all over his
The best Lex Luthor ever...How i would see him acting back
Sammy Lahn he used to babysit me when I was little
"I was raised in your shadow, and now your gonna die in mine..." Such epic poetic lines...!!! Brilliantly delivered. Lex you need to save the Justice League, dude...seriously....
This was more like "Clark & Lex's Legendary Moments From Smallville"
Well thier friendship would be the stuff of legends
7:00
"When my father dies, kings will come to his funeral, but when yours does, his friends will come." -Lex Luthor
seems rather appropriate, doesn't it?
Well Lionel did have a legendary superhero at his funeral
7:05 perfectly defines their relationship from this point. Lex demanded no guests at Lionel's funeral and Clark defies Lex by being there. Both stand resolute between the hole between them utterly wordless as Lex walks away
Tom Welling as Clark Kent was just amazing. Smallville was just one of those magical moments in time. So many memories and so many great times.
I wasn't always a fan of everything that they did with Smallville, but that scene at Lionel's grave when Lex flashes that brief smile, is in my opinion perhaps the best moment in any Superman version ever. That split second was filled with so many possible meanings. Was he looking back on their friendship and thinking what could have been, was he thinking of the future battles between them, probably a bit of both. Amazing, really.
I agree the idea of a true lex and clark team up is awesome.
For me that smile was him beeing melancholic about the past and thinking to himself "In the end it really has to be this way huh?"
Like him smiling at the irony of it all.
True ditto.
It's the same smile he had after Clark and Lex were in the collapsing tunnel episode. The I have what you don't/ revenge-ish look.
I thought it was him saying haha I killed a man that loved you. Like a dig at Clark
Something I never noticed - Lex destroys the fortress, but stays with Clark as it they're about to die. There's something really nice there, that sense of duty he must feel, but that he maintains a bond. Unless of course I just don't remember Lex running away.
Some of the beat moments are when Rosenbaum and Welling play against each other.
Lex 'when my Father dies, kings will turn up to his funeral'. Indeed they did
Dean 01 what episode was that said?
"...but when your father dies... his friends will come."
@@7625e episode 15 of season 1
@@mynameisjeff5957 your a real OG for this
Incase you forgot lex closed off the funeral no one was invited
Why they never cast Michael Rosenbaum as Lex in the cinematic DC movies I will never know. He would have blown us away with his Lex in Batman VS Superman instead of Jesse Eisenbergs very bad attempt at the character. Jesse seemed to think he was doing the Joker character, it was cringe worthy to watch. Kevin Spacey did ok in Superman Returns and he is one of my favourite actors but I still think Michael is by FAR the best Lex Luthor I have seen to date.
simply because he is the voice actor for the flash in most (not sure if all) DCAU content just look him up
I would rather have micheal than the actor they got for bvs. He is not a good fit for lex in my opinion.
Eisenberg is pure garbage
Kevin spacey pedophile style.. is he dtil one of your best actor now..?
Appart from that, Id have to agree.. Jesse Eiseinberg trying the weirdo psycopath geeky lex was sooo embarassing
Rosenbaum embodies the Lex luthor.. great actor
@@jadefo2433 As an actor he is still one of the best but as a person he is a piece of garbage. A pedo is human garbage and he is an unrepentant one at that.
sure the music was loud enough?!
SOMEBODY SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
My exact thoughts, you read my mind. It was such an amazing show!
they've made a season 11 comic book series. you should check it out.
i really want to, do you know where to find it or get it?
Bruce Wayne amazon, or your local bookstore.
I REALLY AM SAD AS WELL, WISH THEY HAD A CROSS OVER SERIES WITH CAST
epic moments, the storyline about Clark and Lex was completely awesome
Michael Rosenbaum was the best actor in the series. His character was so dynamic and engaging. I personally think the show went downhill a little when he left.
Number 3 was Epic. 5:52 - 6:15 just look at Lex's eyes... great perfomance of Rosenbaum.He should have had a nom for a emmy for that performance.
Oops, you forgot one of the most legendary moments of the series here, when Jonathan Kent died because of Clark changing history to save Lana. To me, that is and always will be the moment that he TRULY becomes Superman, because he has to finally become the man his father always knew he could be.
that episode is still rated my 1# fav it had soooo much story in just 45 mins
@@TheNightcorelover420 Loved John Schneider, and Annette O'Toole. Probably best parents on TV.
Nope. It took him a few seasons before he was able to overcome that guilt.
Should Have Let Her Die
@@clarkkent6904 That's such a villainy.
Chloe discovering Clark’s ability was pretty legendary.
One of my favorite scenes from the entire series was when Jonathan went to take Clark home after he had gotten infected with red kryptonite and Jor-El temporarily empowered Jonathan so he could bring Clark back home...I love that entire fight scene,I got A kick out of of Clark calling his dad by his name and asking his what he is doing out past his bedtime,,then when Jonathan looks at him and says,"Clark,son,I'm taking you home" that whole scene was excellent..
Red-K Clark was the best. We needed more episodes with Kal
Jon Means ... Unfortunately that is also why Jonathan eventually died. His body could not handle super powers, even temporarily, and the strain caused permanent damage to his heart.
Well that and Clark tempted fate since he went back in time remember in the original timeline Lana dies but he saves her and then Lois almost died in the bathtub but he saves her life too and then fate catches up with Mr. Kent
Jon Means Bruh, my and my big bruh we’re hype a two squirrels on candy.. that was my favorite moment from season 2 or 3.
Really Tired 64 Nah, that’s not it. Krypton technology and energy is self sustaining and efficient. Jonathan was 100% in a few days. In Smallville Jonathan died bcuz Clark went back in time to save Lana. In doing so created a loophole where the Universal Karma had to right itself, otherwise it would have created a flashpoint of an untold number of people’s deaths of friend foe loved one or stranger. In order to correct the rift that had been undone by Clark, the Universal energy cosmic construct killed Jonathan in substitute for Lana.
In Christopher Reeves’ Superman Movie Just b4 Jonathan collapsed, he muttered “Oh no.” No how many times I go over that scene, I always felt like Jonathan knew his time with Marth & Clark had run out. The way Jonathan said those words.. it felt as though he had made a deal with some Otherworldly force or unknown entity to extend life beyond it’s natural state. Go back and watch that scene closely, I’m tellin you guys, somethin about that scene right there selves off into a much deeper meaning & purpose. Somethin similar to the Superhuman or Supernatural. Jonathan knew exactly what was goin on, he looked shocked as if what happened to him were sooner than expected. Shoutout to Ma Kent, Pa Kent, & Teenage Clark Kent. If it weren’t for those characters.. especially teenage Clark, he created the build up to establish Christopher Reeve as Superman.
i was glad to see that amazing walk The Justice League did together.
I miss when they were friends
Number 3 was heartbreaking since Lex does have a point, yet there's no way Clark could tell him that the destiny to protect the world was his.
The last one when they all walked out of the building blowing up like the justice league...soooooo EPIC!
god the way they did the lex luthor-clark kent relationship was sooooo good
lex played the misguided hero so well. Lionel wanted him to be this cold hearted ruthless buisnessman. And Lex just wanted his dad to love him. He found a brother in Clark replacing his dead one Julian. And the Kent family were sort of the family he never had. When he was disowned by Lionel for a short period he lived in the barn, lifting hay and cleaning up cow poop. He didnt complain and even Johnathan said he respected Lex for that. If Clark had told Lex around that time he had powers, that Lex was always right from day 1 about him saving him at the damn. Maybe then when Lionel realized Clark was Kal-el the Luthors and Kents could have been a real power family couple. Its just interesting that after the whole destroying the fortress scene and his eventual return in the season 10 finale he just flat out says "we have a destiny....only on opposite sides." I was like "dude you got a second chance, let him save the world and be there for him. Dont go all "i am the villain because of reasons" But sadly he does. But Michael does an amazing job portraying the anti hero turned villain.
When I first watched this episode when Lex said "I love you like a brother Clark" I remember tearing up, after everything we learned about Lex during the shows run I found myself hating Clark at certain points for how much he deceived Lex & kept him at arms length like most people did his entire life, no wonder he became so resentful towards Clark he was just like everyone else Lex had known, they all mistrusted him, but Clark's pushed him into the darkside
C’mon mehn, Clark ain’t to be blamed for how lex turned out. If lex wasn’t so obsessed with what didn’t matter and looked on to what was important, he would have remained Clark’s trusted friend and ally
Also we can blame lex’s dad for turning him into a monster. I mean if Lionel had raised him right, Lex wouldn’t have become the man he is. Lex was heading toward a dark path before he met Clark. Clark being in his life would have refrained lex from dark side but the only mistake clark made was giving up on lex too soon
Either ways. Underneath all that evil, lex was just a victim of circumstance. It shows that even the worst of human beings are still human
Lex is the monster he is in large part because of his own choices... the entire show is about one choosing his destiny despite the circonstances. A along you see hints of a Clark Kent turning into a monster : people who want to control him because of his power, to use him because of his personality, to kill him because he's an alien, to discredit him because he is a hero... And pf course, Clark has love and friends, you can credit Jonathan Kent a little, but it's mainly because of his personality... Lex is loveless and lonely, you can blame Lionel Luthor of course, but it's mainly because of his personality.
John glover as lionel luthor was an amazing casting choice. He was fantastic in his role
What about " I am the vilain of the story" from 4x17, that was not only one of Micheals greatest performance but also a powerful quote from the comic book perspective
I was just waiting for: "I am the villain of the story!"... and I see I'm not the only one...
Can we just take a moment and thank that writers strike during season 7. Those last few episodes of that season were some of the best of the entire show. The Veritas story was so obviously written in last minute, but it was some mighty fine storytelling!
Cool guys don't look at explosions...
Nick G. tell that to Michael Bay lol.
This clip just reminded me why I loved this show so much...!!! Lex was hands down the BEST...!!! Him and Lionel made the show work. Like true villains, "Nobody that is evil thinks of themselves as evil..." They always think they are doing good, from a certain point of view. Lionel and Lex both thought they were making the world a better place. Both thought they could make their mark. Its really funny how Clark is essentially the bad guy, because he pushes Lex away. If only he knew, and could be in the circle of trust. But that is what the show like you to believe that things like Fate, or Destiny....have a sick sense of humor.
Clark is the mos dihonest person in the world, he lies like the sun shines, thats why lex turned
omg lex was the best thing ever for me on this show he a beats
Moment #3 is my favorite. The confrontation is amazing; Michael Rosenbaum really brought his A-game in this scene.
It's been 12 years bro... you still alive?
best show in the history
Good choices. I would have like to see the scene where Clark meets Dr. Schwann. Not only does he learn more about his birth race, but its a "passing of the torch" sort of scene. Overall, like I said, good job.
One of THE BEST shows EVER!! Smallville is a great rendition of Clark Kent becoming Superman! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! ❤️💙 & the blow up scene where they're doing the slow walk is EPIC! Tom Welling is the perfect Superman 😍😍 (well, my favorite actor EVER) lol & Michael is awesome! 😊
Anyone else think Lex should've went to jail for Lionel's murder to better explain his absence. His return in season 10 could turn out he was "framed" and released?
It would have work but his resurrection was awesome (his dead was too forced)
+kjl2127 , Lex should have went to jail for Lionel's murder.
Lex goes to jail for Lionels murder and escapes it would be great but I stick with the Resurrection part. 👍👍
Anyone else notice that after the movie star gave Clark that cape, the cape was never to be seen again?
I imagine it's because they ended up using the Superman Returns suit instead of the classic style with the brighter red
Really? They didn't include the moment when Lex told Lionel how his mom killed Julian? That was the most powerful moment in the show!
NeonTime From Memoria what a great scene that was
2020...Still unbelivable...
I used to watch each new episode when this was on. I really liked how Lex went from friend to foe, always tugged at the heartstrings
as much as i loved s8 and how just drop dead sexy Tess was i missed lex and the whole clark and lex dynamic
but its worth the wait as they built up a dramatic finale. LEXCORP
sorry bro HARDCORE smallville here , season 8 totaly sucks the new showrunners totally fucked up =
No real introduction to doomsday
A lot of incoerrances with the season 1-7 arc, specially in 8.18
Lana getting super powers
Jimmy's death
Lex's Death
thank god brian peterson and kelly souders came and fixed things up :p
Am i the only one who hated season 9
the best of the best why do you hate season 9?
Its just boring and it just didnt have the same feeling as the other seasons hell for me season 10 was freaking better its just not that great for me it felt like they where already running out of ideas at least season 10 tried but its just my opinion
I love how most of the moments are between Lex and Clark because let's face it. ANY scene with Michael Rosenbaum as Lex is EPIC. My personal favorite is the one with the two Lex's and he goes. I *am* the villian of the story. But I agree with your list even though you should totally go for a Top Ten moments list. :)
Loved the fact that 3 of them were from Episode 7x16 - Descent. That and Lazarus are probably the best episodes.
Also, shouldn't his take-off from the finale be number one here?
Top 10 most epic scenes of Smallville have all Lex Luther scene.
Lionels Funeral was very speciall, overall the best show there is till this day
Smallville understood the Superman mythology better than anything else.
As if the scene from 'Homecoming' wasn't on there.
They should make a series on those 3 legions, I think it would get good ratings almost as good as Smallville, loyal Smallville fans I think would love it 😊
there's no denying that Lex's (Michael R)scenes were truly legendary. For me, all of lex's scenes, I guess. He simply take my breath away...awwww!
I must admit, I quit watching smallville when Michael left.:(
The end with the explosion and fire and the close up of them walking away made me think one word, MACGRUBER!
DCEU i know you might never see this message but this is the Lex Luthor you should have gotten for batman v superman not that crazy weirdo you gave us this is Lex Luthor
The one on the movie was more like Joker rather than Lex lol
More like the riddler
He reminded me of Michael, Gene, and Clancy all rolled into one.
I'm not sure if these are the best moments, but it's a nice selection.
I don't understand when people hate on live action comic films and shows based on the fact that they're not the EXACT same stories as they are in the comics. WHY wouldn't you want to watch a story unfold that you've never heard/read? Why do you want the story to be the exact same cannon that you've read a hundred times? Smallville pretty much included every interesting thing there is about Superman, spun in their own storylines. You want the storylines in the comics you grew up with? Then go read the comics you grew up with...
I'm totally agree with you..people always think the SERIES would be the same that COMICS but it wouldn't be so much interesting at all..
Ok
duuh watchmen almost follows the comic exactly like what it was and still loved. don't treat your opinion as if it was a fact. beside,some of these artist original spin of traditional lore ended up badly. see BvS or Green Lantern.
Watched the series in 2023. And rewatched it so many times my family was so sick of it. The show is epic. I love me some Superman.
I think my favorite part was when Clark called Chloe "Watchtower" and actually meant it. Gotta love when they throw those code name out in the field. Chloe is my favorite character on the show btw
Epic, no, legendary vid!!
"Watchtower? Are you sure everyone is out of the building...?"
"100% positive."
"Allright, let's do it..."
Walking out of the building with explosions behind them...
Really like that scene!
Lol, fuck the comics, this show is awesome.
If you finished the 10 seasons, you should really comfort yourself by reading the comics. They're really good.
Jose Cianca Nah, not much of a reader.
+ThatRandomStoner yeah, that shit ain't on manga level ftw lol
So glad they are bringing back some of the cast for the next big CW crossover.
How about the time in season 4 episode 17 lex said ( I want you to remember this day despite all of you amazing powers I want you to remember the one man that beat you) that to me was a legendary moment
of course the same speech as batman
I never watched smallville when it aired because i wasn't even alive when it first started but I'm kinda glad because I managed to watch all 10 seasons in one go.It was gooooddd
x6x batman Jesus I’m old
this show will always have a special place in my heart
Finally, i found the awesome clark and lex argument from season 7 descent! Awesome!
You guys do realize that DC worked directly with CW on Smallville? They had tons of DC support, writers, artists etc that would have to often pass or fail an idea for it to make the show. They didn't just come up with a ton of random shit, lol. It was expertly crafted, especially for the very limited budget the CW/WB gave them. In the end most of CW budget went to shit shows like Vampire Shitaries, even Supernatural suffered from the budget cuts so they could keep creating horrible shows. Thankfully now Supernatural and Arrow are top notch and nobody even cares about any other CW show, and if they do they're 12 year old kids. :P Smallville for life. Even its down-moments were excellent. That's just me, though.
Also Miles Millar especially stated many, many times that they did not want to follow any pre-conceived storylines from comics or other shows because then what's the point if everyone already knows what'll happen. Artistic license. The end.
Tyler Fisher they totally followed story lines from comics and other shows and vampire diaries and gossip girl were also extremely popular shows gossip girl had a bigger budget than vampire diaries for sure not many tv shows actually to to italy to record like they did or actually record in america alot of them shoot in Canada just because you didn't like a show doesn't mean it wasn't good get over yourself. one tree hill was also a huge show on cw
TyFish [kryyptyyk] they made up a few things too
Vampire Diaries was great it went for 7 seasons and gave off 2 spin offs it just wasn't interesting to you
Smallville was the only thing I watch on CW during its life span other shows was garbage. That is me
The grave scene between Lex and Clark is one the best acting moments because they didn't say one thing they spoke by just moving and looking at each other.
My biggest regret of this show was never having Bruce Wayne in it. I had a scene in Lexcorp where Bruce and Lex are discussing business and Clark walks in and the 2 shake hands. Would of been so great. I know the comics had Batman in it but that was the comics.
Loved this show and omg so loved Michael/Lex very good looking guy
There's a part of me that wanted, at least this version of him, Lex to know Clark was The Blur/Red-Blue Blur. Because at least this version of Lex grew up with comics, like superhero comics. He still might've tried to bring Clark over to the dark side, but Clark could've brought Lex over to the light.
For real I just rewatched the entire show a few months ago and watching this makes me wanna go back again 😂
Geez.
I think it should have ended at Season 7 when Michael Rosenbaum left and then done a few movies. Missed opportunity!
I agree!! Poor Lana!! Her compassion to love!! She never got to be who she really wanted to be!!
Yeah but if it ended we wouldnt have gotten that amazing lex luthor scene in the finale
lex and clark are polar opposites of eachother clark loved his father and learned so much from him while lex was always waiting for the right moment to come out of his lionels shadow and kill him. This show is farfetched at times but these guys are great together welling and rosenbaum were perfect for these roles they bring out the best in one another on screen
Why isn't this on Netflix??
its on hulu plus only 8.99 a month
because you'll be more interested in Smallville than Netflix and chill time and they dont want that
Stream it on the net or just go to second hand shops you will pick up a season for like 6 bucks
Just own it. I got my complete series on E- Bay
Number one is just what I expected great video
I was so glad when they brought back Lex for the finale..I continued to watch it for the remaining three seasons it was on,I certainly did miss what the Lex character brought to the show,but I really enjoyed the last 3 seasons...I also truly enjoyed the Lionel Luthor character,John Glover was excellent as Lionel,what A fine actor he is.I know there are some fans who didnt like that character,it seemed like the writers just couldn't get it nailed down with Lionel,but I for one really liked the character,I was glad he came back for season 10..I was glad that the Lana character was gone,I never card for her character,i imagine the acting has a good bit to do with my dislike,but I just always felt like they put waaaay too much emphasis on her character,and it took away from some of the other characters.
Who watches a show for reasons like that?
me too! Mr. Kent was one of my favs besides clohe and lionel who was one of my top to watch as it deepns the story
You get Tess Mercer/Lena Luthor for Season 8-10... enough for me to continue to watch! I actually started to watch regularly back then.
The Lex and Lionel characters were some of my favourite comic book characters and adaptations of these characters. Lex isn't after property he's after something more than that. And Lionel's arc from being the only person you know you can't trust to the person who had Clarks best intentions the whole time
Jon Means Lionel went from me absolutley hating him to the point of me liking him and then to the point of me being genuinely upset when he died
maaan i hope to god micheal rosenbaum comes back as lex, he is an incredible actor and fits this despcription perfectly, theres no lex without michael rosenbaum
futurewriter87 They were going to bring Bruce Wayne into Smallville but they couldn't get the rights to Batman.
The show was supposed to be about Batman too, but rights kept that from happening
he says, "I loved you like a brother Calrk, but it has to end this way."
For me smallville has only 7 seasons, once Lex was out of the show, the show was over.
Poor u kmt
Truth!!
Yea.. that was it for me too.
Thank you kind sir! :) I love Smallville. Grew up watching it. I wish they had a season 11 on TV. haha :)
is that dez from Austin and ally?
it is indeed funny isn't it.
The entire cast of this show was perfect
you miss 1 "Legendary" Moment (Lana Strips at the pool)
It just hit me, Lex is returning to season 10 as a clone, he cloned himself because he knew he woulden't come back.
Man, why did Michael Rosenbaum leave the show?
It dragged on for too long. He didn't really fill any purpose in many of the episodes. Clark walks right in (nobody ever asks for permission to come into Lex's mansion), yells at him, then leaves. Repeat.
That said, his scenes (along with Martha, Lionel and Jonathan) were the scenes that made the show worth watching, even though they seldom did much for the plot.
Zod was pretty good too, but not as good (especially when compared to Terrence Stamp).
I agree
Such an Amazing show! The summer was always agonizing waiting for the new season to start in the fall.
crimson wedding was good too
Lex: "I had this terrible dream. I was in the 1970s, I was a criminal mastermind with zero fashion sense. OMG. I wore purple and green. Ugh." LOL
Why did he only pick the moments when lex was a douche (for good reason)? The most powerful moments in smallville were seeing the good in lex and how Clark and Lionel were 100% responsible for his villainy
+NeonTime, that is ABSOULETELY false! Lex Luthor was a flawed person WAY before he ever met Clark. You can't blame somebody else for how you turned out, and everything. Clark was a much better friend to Lex than Lex was to Clark. I mean think about it, think how many times that Clark had to save Lex from messes that he put himself in, even when all those times Lex kept telling Clark to go home, and his stubborn ass was ALWAYS there for Lex. Lex has NOBODY but to blame his damn self for how he turned out. I mean what kind of friend takes advantadge of his friend's vulnerable ex-girlfriend. But you know what, he didn't give a damn, he was going to do it regardless. Doing stuff like THAT is why Lex turned out the way he did. Frankly, I don't blame Clark at all for not telling him the truth about himself. Every episode that I saw Lex was always getting blackmailed by SOMEBODY, I mean god damn. He was getting into trouble all the time, and my god, look at the way he treated women. This guy was a bonafide playboy. He'd go through women left, and right, and half the time he couldn't even remember his names. Then he was investigating Clark for the WHOLE entire first season. He stole his blood when his fiancée Dr. Bryce was testing him, I mean you want more? How about the fact that Lex wanted Clark's life, he wanted the good parents, the friends, the loyal girlfriend, EVERYTHING!
+NeonTime, then what about that woman he had sent after Clark? What kind of shit is that? He did that to find out about Clark's secret, and to break him, and Lana up. Stuff like that is why people kept talking Clark not to trust Lex, that he would betray you. But Clark kept saying to everybody that he trusted Lex with all his might, and putting that much trust in someone is why he was portrayed. Clark has made mistakes, but it's only because that he believes in the god in people.
Derek Mathews You nailed it.
What Iove about Lex in this series is how vastly intelligent he is. He KNOWS Clark is hiding something. And I feel if Clark HAD trusted him, they would have remained friends. But because Clark represents everything Lex isn't and has the things he wants the most, a loving family, friends, and a nice simple life, he grows to hate Clark more and more. Knowing Clark is lying to him, makes his constantly question why he's not good enough to earn his trust. Why does the world embrace Clark with open arms, yet he himself is doomed to a life of loneliness and isolation just because he shares the same blood as his near universally hated Father. And eventually, he just stops trying to be good. I think the episode where he kills his father was amazing. EVERYTHING Lex had done up until that point could have been forgiven. I think part of the reason why Lionel doesn't scream on his way down, is because he KNOWS his mistakes and the decisions he made with Lex, created this. He KNOWS this is what he deserves, and maybe he even saw it coming through a vision at some point hence why he tried so hard to make amends in the end. But ironically, Lionel embracing Clark just sent Lex even further off the deep end. To the point that nothing he said, or did, could change either of their fates.
I thought these moments were more sad than legendary, but still awesome.
what about when he finally flies that was the most epic moment!!
This was uploaded in 2009. Clark didn't fly until 2011 in the final episode.
I was going to say the same thing, until I saw the owner's response. :-)
He flew in 4th season when did the rebirth
he also floated in the second episode then came crashing down
damnn, comin back to this a year later, its always good to see that you have a top comment when you didnt think you did. and yes still agree that its a fantastic show. glad michael rosenbaum came back, and i still to this day cant get enough of this show. im actually watching it all over again. ive seen every ep countless times. im on season 3 now. epic showww
