@@Unqualifiedmedicalperson My biggest dissapointment is that they made a big announcement out of it. Imagine if they hadn't promoted it at all. That would have been the biggest surprise.
destinyawaitsx3 Tom Welling did a Comic Con panel where he described working with Christopher Reeve as an out of body experience. I get what he means. For him and everyone else who will ever play Superman, the character is too iconic for one person to truly embody. Tom and the later actors, even great ones, can only be "this version of Superman", at best. But Christopher Reeve IS Superman. It must be like playing superheroes as a kid, and then the character you "are" appears right in front of you.
@@anjhontongo6945 Well, "Batman" is "Batman" and "Superman" is "Superman" REGARDLESS of who played them in the many decades of the two comic book characters' existence on both television and films anyway.
@@anjhontongo6945The "real" Batman never quit to practice house archery for a year because his girlfriend died. The "real" Batman did Batman stuff more than half a dozen times.
I can only imagine how many tears were soaked when this cameo happened. I don't care what decade I was born in, I'm glad to have a Superman like Christopher Reeve.
Oh it was epic! The day there were rumors he was going to be a part of the show but NO ONE expected the impact he would have on the fans hearing his voice and his theme again, and his almost JorEl level of Iconia he left into Smallville. It was the ultimate passing of the S shield metaphorically. There was no dry eyes.
Chris Reeve isn't just the greatest Superman ever (and I loved Cavill). He's the greatest lead in a comic book movie ever! No-ones ever fit and nailed a role as perfectly as he has in these types of films.
Let's get back on Christopher Reeve. Like everyone has their favourite Bond....everybody will have a favourite Superman. Christopher set the foundation and actually gave Clark his 'persona'. If it wasn't for Christopher, I hate to think what Clark would be like. He wasn't just a Great Superman....he was an Amazing Clark that no other (great) Superman actor has quite managed to incorporate. Any 'Muscle' can play Superman but it takes a truly talented actor to play Clark.
He had such a phenomenal sense of humor. I don’t think I could’ve managed in his situation but he stuck through it admirably and proved to be a true Superman.
@@Legionbass19 you gotta credit Chris's good friend and former Juilliard buddy Robin Williams; he helped Chris tremendously after his accident. Robin was the first person who was able to make Chris laugh, and he realized that if he could laugh at something, he would be okay. That really boosted his spirits, and I am forever grateful to Robin for being there for Chris in his darkest hour. Robin also covered Chris's medical bills for him so he and Dana wouldn't have to worry about that on top of everything else they were dealing with. That too was so awesome of him to do.
I've noticed that only Henry Cavill and Christopher Reeve are the only Supermen to actually give, support and create helpful foundations. While I like all Supermen I think that says a lot. That's why their my favorites :D.
RIP and long live the greatest Superman actor of all time. Christopher Reeve (September 25, 1952 - October 10, 2004), aged 52 You will always be remembered as a legend.
I promise you Christopher Reeve that I will dedicate my book to you. Having you as one of my favorite actors gave me the best years of my life away from a messed-up world. You are the one and only true Superman and when we look up to the sky we shall see you and Shout Out up in the sky it's a bird it's a plane it's Superman.
Christopher Reeve was and will be the greatest Superman ever, I have seen the recent Superman movie and they are great but I miss the special magic the Reeve's Superman had. Maybe this generation is just not into that.
@1:13 whoever did that transition of the comicbook photo to Christopher Reeve's face deserved a raise ! In that transition from the Cartoon to the real actor...you see **THE EXACT SAME FACE** I mean, that's just legendary ! I don't think there has ever been an actor that so perfectly embodied a character. Christopher Reeve simply IS superman. Period.
Reeve was so good so good. The best ever to play a super hero. Despite the limitations of technology at that time (costumes, FX etc). His face, presence, physicality, humor, romantic side, vulnerable side, etc were all superb.
It's been far to long. Watching this clip brought tears to my eyes.SUPERMAN has and will always been my favorite superhero not only for the looks but for what he means to Me.I have sceen every SUPERMAM movie all the way up to Brand Routh and no one,I mean NO ONE can ever take the place of CHRISTOPHER REEVE "THE MAN OF STEAL"even after the tragic news of his passing CHRISTOPHER REEVE will be my hero till the end of time. OPERATION SAVE CLARK KENT!!!! RESPECT THE COLORS RESPECT THE LEGEND!!!
Oh my god, this is so sad, I really admire Christopher Reeve. He had the opportunity to be Superman in front of cameras, but after his accident he was Superman every single moment and he never stopped being awesome: "Please call".
Christopher Reeve is Superman and Superman is him. Period!

Looks like Jeph Loeb is only guy that can do a really kino-quality superhero Tv shows, back then he was a head behind Smallvile, now he is doing Daredevil (an amazing brilliant that I don't think disney's MCU and Figei in particular really deserve).
I enjoyed watching the episodes. His betrayal as Virgel Swan, was incredible. And yes, it was like the passing of the torch. From one Hero to another Hero. Christopher Reeves was superman for us and then Tom Welling took up the mantle let us respect the past and embrace the future
When Christopher calls Tom 'Kal-El' - Goosebumps and the passing of the torch is complete..... Huge respect to Brandon & Henry fo their versions, they were awesome but, for me, Tom is the best Clark Kent on-screen and Christopher is the best Superman.
Christopher Reeve: an actor with enormous talent! Christopher Reeve fut non seulement l'interprète à 4 reprises de "Superman" mais il incarna merveilleusement bien de nombreux personnages; tant pour le cinéma que pour le petit écran - son répertoire filmographique est par ailleurs assez impressionnant. Bref: un bel acteur, talentueux, charismatique, sensible, courageux
As a baby-boomer I had to experience the deaths of two Supermen: the first was George Reeves from the TV series, hearing on the radio before school that he'd been shot and killed on June 16, 1959 at the age of 45. Later the conclusion was that he had committed suicide but no one who knew him ever understood why.
I don't buy that, and George wasn't even my generation's Superman. Some people say he was murdered, tbh. There was even a segment on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries that looked into what might have happened the night George was found dead in his home.
Call it a weird passing of some mere coincidence but that fact that (27) people had disliked this video, so happens to be the exact age Christopher Reeve was when he first got the call, for a screen test for the role of Superman.
Christopher Reeve is flying around in heaven not with wings sprouting from his shoulders but wearing a RED CAPE and a blue jump suit with a bright red and yellow S on it ! God: "Look...up in the sky..." Mary: "it's a bird !" Joseph: "its a plane !" Jesus: "it's Christopher Reeve !"
all I have to say about Clark in that scene is: INTERPRETATION. You will rule them does not necessarily mean "conquer". It kind of bugged me when he interpreted it like that.
Even though he and Annette O'Toole worked together as Clark Kent and Lana Lang in Superman 3 I wish they had a scene together on Smallville had he lived
Zack Snyder needs to stop reading Dark Knight Returns and watch this. Cavill was a good superman with a Terrible director and script. He needed a Director who knows Superman. Hell Henry Cavill knew Superman better than Zack did. Christopher Reeves IS Superman. Notice how he isn't a dark killer who never smiles or saves people.
How did they handle it when Reeve died? Did they say Dr. Swann died as well? I never watched Smallville so I'm curious. Also, there is now another Superman series on CW.
Well first an ep of Smallville said R.I.P. Christopher Reeve who made us all believe a man could fly. Then later on in a season they announced his character died on a news program and said how he changed the world
Had Christopher Reeve not suffered that terrible injury, it would have been great to see him play Jor-El in Smallville. You hear the words magical, mythic in this video when the producer's speak of Reeve. This is so true. He had an 'other worldly' aura about him which made you totally buy into the character. His casting was probably the most appropriate and inspired in cinema history. Kudos to Richard Donner sticking to his guns & demanding an unknown.
I felt the same way when I heard about his passing on the car radio on my way to school. The moment I got inside the building, I just broke down and started sobbing.
With his drive and determination, I really believe that had he been granted just a few more years, he would have walked again. Christopher Reeve was, is, and always will be a superman.
He really was the classic Superman--Gold, Silver and Bronze Age. A realistic, slightly more vulnerable and prone to anger bronze age Superman certainly mixes with his 'performing' as the gentlemanly Silver age character--but there are a number of scenes where he breaks social rules, and is generally an Alpha-m dick...it's right out of the pages from 1938-43. It was only Chris's talent performing that kept you from noticing the character's shifting around too much :) -And when he lost his physicality, he managed to channel the Superman character subtly into his way of living and of communicating, to become a phenomenally successful activist--one more version of Superman, in a way. We're unlikely to see his like on earth again.
Its so hard to watch Superman without crying especially in the end when Christopher Reeve smiles in the camera and fly away. CHRISTOPHER REEVE will always be the man of steel ❤
I may not have grown up with the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. I actually grew up with Justice League/Justice League Unlimited Superman. As much as I LOVE George Newbern's time. Chris Reeve will ALWAYS be Superman.
You can also tell that Christopher Reeves feels that Tom Welling is the only one that's fit to take the Superman torch.All the other so-called supermen all the way to 2014 to me don't come close. It should have been Tom Welling playing the role in Man of Steel.
I agree with you 100%. Hollywood is usually clueless about how fans feel, and that is why Man of Steel was so joyless and forgettable, but watch the helicopter rescue scene in 1978 Superman and you get chills all over again. Anyway, its nice to know that others feel the same way. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
William Carmel Then you should like my TOP 10 BEST SUPERMAN of ALLTIME VIDEO I just made yesterday. th-cam.com/video/SrAkLspF6gE/w-d-xo.html BTW Happy Thanksgiving to you also! :) I still taking out the kinks
My parents took me to see SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE when it first came out in 1978, and I was a 6 year old boy who had just began reading Superman comics (Superman is my father's favorite superhero). When I first saw Christopher Reeve change into the suit and fly out of the Fortress of Solitude...there are no words to describe that feeling. It inspired my love if comic book superheroes and it also inspired me to become a writer. To that 6 year old boy, Christopher Reeve wasn't some actor who played Superman, he WAS Superman and now, exactly 40 years later, after watching Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill don that red "S", I still say that Christopher Reeve, who left us in 2004, will ALWAYS be MY Superman.
This makes me sad. Sadder enough, I'm in the new generation who did not have the chance to know him well in our childhood, my first Superman encounter is Smallville and Superman Returns. Well, I hope more of the younger generations know about this man, he was Superman, and always is, in our hearts.
Ditto the same to you pal but sadly he passed away on Sunday October 10th, 2004 14 years back we'll miss him forever and hopefully we'll see what we'll see soon enough hopefully and him again in heaven where my father is now hopefully do me a favor spend as much time with your dad before he kicks the bucket aka dies like my dad died suddenly from cjd aka creutzfeld jacobs disease at 69 and Margot Kidder died at 69 recently on Mother's Day I recently heard online that all4 Superman films were a huge failure you know but the 12 years back Superman 5-Superman Returns (2006) became a interesting instant huge hit blockbuster by Brandon Routh who's my current age 38 peace, love, understanding, respect, and above all Gods blessings to you buddy.
Christopher Reeve the person has a special ability of courage and inspiration. Isn't this one of the most important special abilities? I have recently bought the entire Smallville series in a boxed set and was truly delighted to see his involvement in the series. "Fell out of my chair" is an understatement... mine was a standing ovation to a truly inspirational person. Thank you to the person who uploaded this footage, it has been wonderful to watch!! I hope that soon a cure for spinal damage will be found to increase the amount of hope available to people impacted by spinal injury. Christopher Reeve's contribution to this will be immense. Have thoroughly enjoyed the Smallville portrayal.
Christopher Reeve was a blessing to this world, not just to Superman. That man was amazing. He may have been paralyzed, but he still kept high spirits and never lost his personality, humor, the man still smiled. The man was and is Superman. God bless you Mr. Reeve. You're with God and resting in Heaven. 🙏
That scene would have been amazing regardless simply due to Reeve's presence, but the use of the John Williams music just hit a nerve so deep that it was instantly a classic. I grew up on Reeve's Superman, and to this day he's never been bettered. Don't get me wrong, the different interpretations have been good, but no one solidified and defined Superman in a live action setting like Reeve did.
Oh God I always cry when I see him in the wheelchair. He was a definition of boldness and courage. And you know what... he still is. Fly on Superman...
Kirk Alyn - Grand daddy of all Superman George Reeves - Paternal Superman Christopher Reeve - the best and definitive Superman Brandon Routh - gentle Superman Tom Welling - youthful Superman Henry Cavill - serious Superman Tyler Hoechlin - vibrant Superman
There is something that sets Superman apart from other Superheroes. At least, it's a belief I have. Unlike a lot of other Superheroes, (Batman, The Green Arrow, Iron Man, Black Widow), Superman has always been Superman. He doesn't need the cape and tights. Let me clarify. Okay.... Iron Man can fight and fly and do all sorts of cool stuff- when in the suit. Take off the literal suit of armor, and you have Tony Stark. A regular man, who happens to be very rich. The same can be said about Batman. They don't have powers, and if you shoot them in the head, they die. They aren't so much Superheroes as they are plain old heroes. Spider-Man is a little bit different. His powers from the spider bite makes him a superhero, along with his compassion, which brings us to Superman. Kal-El/Clark Kent has powers fueled by Earth's yellow sun. If he were still on Krypton, he'd be the same as the rest of us. In Smallville, if you can get your hands on green Kryptonite and lightning or electricity, you can have the powers of a Kryptonian. That is precisely What I mean about Superman. Clark Kent puts on that suit and saves people. He will also save people without the suit. Can you see where he is different? Superman's powers don't make him Superman; Clark Kent's beliefs and love of humanity make him Superman. When Eric Summers/Sommers got Clark's powers in season 1, he abused them and hurt people. Pretty much anybody who had powers in the series used them to hurt others. Basically in the show, anybody can have superpowers, but that doesn't make them a hero. Even though the show creators claimed this was NOT Superman, the very way the character of Clark Kent/Superman was created contradicts that statement, and the producers of the show and the actors don't know it. They haven't analyzed it the way I have. If I ever get to meet Tom Welling, I will tell him all this.
Iron Man's superpower was his genius. Yes, he needed the suit(s) to do good. But comparing Iron Man and Superman by just their powers/abilities defeats the character's purpose and story arcs. Iron Man's story is more about redemption, from being a man of questionable morals to wanting to change the world and be a hero. Superman's whole story is about being out of place in the world and discovering his purpose. Powers serve the story yes, but if a person solely focuses on them, then they lose A LOT of the story being told.
@@beckymerchant4678 I do see your point, but I stand by what I posted 7 months ago. My view hasn't changed. This is how I see the Superheroes. And Clark also felt some need to repay the world that adopted him.
The moment when I heard Krypton theme , I got all the shivers in the world. Those notes encapsulated the entire Superman feeling. I'm so glad that Smallville gave us the 2 Supermen! All the love to Christopher Reeve and John Williams!
I love the Smallville show and it was a huge part of my teenage years. I related to him because he didn't know who he was or what he would/should be yet. Even though I did not grow up during Christopher Reeve's time, I can easily see and respect what an impact he had on people too. I respect both these guys. Now I am watching Arrow and The Flash, lol.
The Usual Spot I have been watching the Flash! I also watch Gotham, which has been pretty good as well. Is Arrow good? I remember watching the first episode of it and thought it was boring years ago. I think I didn't like it because I was still attached to Smallville's Green Arrow. But how is it?
destinyawaitsx3 Arrow is very realistic and grounded. It's best moments are martial art style fight scenes and covert mission type things or the occasional plot twist. I would definitely recommend the first two seasons, as those were very suspenseful and difficult to predict the outcome. Everything built up suspense until the end where your waiting pays off. However, after that story arc ended, around season 3, it becomes more of a drama and I personally do not find interest in many of the supporting characters. They are a bit too bland to base the plot on. So yes it gets a bit boring. The show doesn't have much of the supernatural or fantasy nature like Smallville or Flash, so that is the part that will divide who wants to watch it and who doesn't. However, you may like it more than I do. I find "Daredevil" on Netflix to pull off the "cool, dark themed, realistic, skilled hero" thing better.
This is the godfather of all cameos in popular DC series.
Wouldn’t call it a cameo, more like a “guest appearance”. His scenes run too long to call it a cameo.
@@Unqualifiedmedicalperson My biggest dissapointment is that they made a big announcement out of it. Imagine if they hadn't promoted it at all. That would have been the biggest surprise.

man you're old !!! i never thought old people comment on youtube
is Keanu Reeves going to be in new Superman movie
That 800 telephone is still active
how come this is the only episode with superman music
He is still Superman to me.
You can't have a show like Smallville and not have Christopher Reeve appear in it, quadriplegic or not.
wow when i was watching the show i never new he was the orignal superman
Even though he and Annette O'Toole worked together as Clark Kent and Lana Lang in Superman 3 I wish they had a scene together on Smallville had he lived
the first time they show that weird krypton writing you can see the superman S symbol in the writing
Why no statements from Annette o Toole she was the original lana in the superman movies and she's Martha Kent in smallville😢😢😢
I found nothing. 🎉. Reeve. Had a spine injury. Yet. Welling had the. Torch and. He became . Clark Kent

A realistic, slightly more vulnerable and prone to anger bronze age Superman certainly mixes with his 'performing' as the gentlemanly Silver age character--but there are a number of scenes where he breaks social rules, and is generally an Alpha-m dick...it's right out of the pages from 1938-43. It was only Chris's talent performing that kept you from noticing the character's shifting around too much :)
-And when he lost his physicality, he managed to channel the Superman character subtly into his way of living and of communicating, to become a phenomenally successful activist--one more version of Superman, in a way.
We're unlikely to see his like on earth again.
"This is Kal-El of Krypton, our infant son, our last hope..."
One of my favourite scenes!
True.
Protect him from evil.
Its so hard to watch Superman without crying especially in the end when Christopher Reeve smiles in the camera and fly away. CHRISTOPHER REEVE will always be the man of steel ❤
I may not have grown up with the Christopher Reeve Superman movies. I actually grew up with Justice League/Justice League Unlimited Superman. As much as I LOVE George Newbern's time. Chris Reeve will ALWAYS be Superman.
Christopher Reeve will always be the one and only true Superman.
You can also tell that Christopher Reeves feels that Tom Welling is the only one that's fit to take the Superman torch.All the other so-called supermen all the way to 2014 to me don't come close. It should have been Tom Welling playing the role in Man of Steel.
I agree with you 100%. Hollywood is usually clueless about how fans feel, and that is why Man of Steel was so joyless and forgettable, but watch the helicopter rescue scene in 1978 Superman and you get chills all over again. Anyway, its nice to know that others feel the same way. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Btw Tom Welling is Superman!
William Carmel Then you should like my TOP 10 BEST SUPERMAN of ALLTIME VIDEO I just made yesterday. th-cam.com/video/SrAkLspF6gE/w-d-xo.html BTW Happy Thanksgiving to you also! :) I still taking out the kinks
me too even thought i liked Brandon and Henry Christopher reeve will always be the best superman to me
Even if he's dead, Christopher Reeve was and will ALWAYS be Superman to me!
My parents took me to see SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE when it first came out in 1978, and I was a 6 year old boy who had just began reading Superman comics (Superman is my father's favorite superhero). When I first saw Christopher Reeve change into the suit and fly out of the Fortress of Solitude...there are no words to describe that feeling. It inspired my love if comic book superheroes and it also inspired me to become a writer. To that 6 year old boy, Christopher Reeve wasn't some actor who played Superman, he WAS Superman and now, exactly 40 years later, after watching Brandon Routh and Henry Cavill don that red "S", I still say that Christopher Reeve, who left us in 2004, will ALWAYS be MY Superman.
This makes me sad. Sadder enough, I'm in the new generation who did not have the chance to know him well in our childhood, my first Superman encounter is Smallville and Superman Returns. Well, I hope more of the younger generations know about this man, he was Superman, and always is, in our hearts.
You won't miss out if you keep him alive in your heart and mind.
true 👍
shafiq shahari im in the new generation but i grew up watching Christopher Reeve. Then i learned he passed away.
shafiq shahari we on the same gen i guess
Nathsu 29 same
The Superman theme and Christopher Reeve's reaction in 9:33-9.35 just sent chills down my spine..
To me in 2014 Cristopher Reeve is still the real and only superman.
I can't believe it is been 12 years since Mr. Reeve passed on.
Nope, he's not the one and only Superman. That's retarded.
2018
Ditto the same to you pal but sadly he passed away on Sunday October 10th, 2004 14 years back we'll miss him forever and hopefully we'll see what we'll see soon enough hopefully and him again in heaven where my father is now hopefully do me a favor spend as much time with your dad before he kicks the bucket aka dies like my dad died suddenly from cjd aka creutzfeld jacobs disease at 69 and Margot Kidder died at 69 recently on Mother's Day I recently heard online that all4 Superman films were a huge failure you know but the 12 years back Superman 5-Superman Returns (2006) became a interesting instant huge hit blockbuster by Brandon Routh who's my current age 38 peace, love, understanding, respect, and above all Gods blessings to you buddy.

Christopher Reeve the person has a special ability of courage and inspiration. Isn't this one of the most important special abilities? I have recently bought the entire Smallville series in a boxed set and was truly delighted to see his involvement in the series. "Fell out of my chair" is an understatement... mine was a standing ovation to a truly inspirational person. Thank you to the person who uploaded this footage, it has been wonderful to watch!!
I hope that soon a cure for spinal damage will be found to increase the amount of hope available to people impacted by spinal injury. Christopher Reeve's contribution to this will be immense.
Have thoroughly enjoyed the Smallville portrayal.
Christopher Reeve was a blessing to this world, not just to Superman. That man was amazing. He may have been paralyzed, but he still kept high spirits and never lost his personality, humor, the man still smiled. The man was and is Superman. God bless you Mr. Reeve. You're with God and resting in Heaven. 🙏
That scene would have been amazing regardless simply due to Reeve's presence, but the use of the John Williams music just hit a nerve so deep that it was instantly a classic. I grew up on Reeve's Superman, and to this day he's never been bettered. Don't get me wrong, the different interpretations have been good, but no one solidified and defined Superman in a live action setting like Reeve did.
Reeve is a beautiful man, with and with-out his tubes. R.I.P.
Oh God I always cry when I see him in the wheelchair. He was a definition of boldness and courage. And you know what... he still is. Fly on Superman...
Eminem is a piece of trash for making fun of this guy.
Eminem makes fun of everybody
I wish he would end up in ally with some skinheads. Show him how white he is.
4:11 That’s actually cool how Tom wanted to learn about the character just as Clark was learning about himself.
Not just for a generation but for all time Christopher Reeve will be Superman.
RIP Superman a true hero
The son becomes the father and The father becomes the son
Chris is selling his part without moving a muscle. He is one of the greatest actors of all time.
"Please... Please call" and Tom and the others burst into laughter. I loved that.
rest in peace Christopher Reeve
1:18 Superman survived the test of time but so has Chris Reeve. Rest in peace to the Man of Steel.
Kirk Alyn - Grand daddy of all Superman
George Reeves - Paternal Superman
Christopher Reeve - the best and definitive Superman
Brandon Routh - gentle Superman
Tom Welling - youthful Superman
Henry Cavill - serious Superman
Tyler Hoechlin - vibrant Superman
You missed out Dean Cain.
I remember this episode like it was yesterday! 😢 RIP Christopher Reeve!
There is something that sets Superman apart from other Superheroes. At least, it's a belief I have. Unlike a lot of other Superheroes, (Batman, The Green Arrow, Iron Man, Black Widow), Superman has always been Superman. He doesn't need the cape and tights. Let me clarify. Okay.... Iron Man can fight and fly and do all sorts of cool stuff- when in the suit. Take off the literal suit of armor, and you have Tony Stark. A regular man, who happens to be very rich. The same can be said about Batman. They don't have powers, and if you shoot them in the head, they die. They aren't so much Superheroes as they are plain old heroes. Spider-Man is a little bit different. His powers from the spider bite makes him a superhero, along with his compassion, which brings us to Superman. Kal-El/Clark Kent has powers fueled by Earth's yellow sun. If he were still on Krypton, he'd be the same as the rest of us. In Smallville, if you can get your hands on green Kryptonite and lightning or electricity, you can have the powers of a Kryptonian. That is precisely What I mean about Superman. Clark Kent puts on that suit and saves people. He will also save people without the suit. Can you see where he is different? Superman's powers don't make him Superman; Clark Kent's beliefs and love of humanity make him Superman. When Eric Summers/Sommers got Clark's powers in season 1, he abused them and hurt people. Pretty much anybody who had powers in the series used them to hurt others. Basically in the show, anybody can have superpowers, but that doesn't make them a hero. Even though the show creators claimed this was NOT Superman, the very way the character of Clark Kent/Superman was created contradicts that statement, and the producers of the show and the actors don't know it. They haven't analyzed it the way I have. If I ever get to meet Tom Welling, I will tell him all this.
Iron Man's superpower was his genius. Yes, he needed the suit(s) to do good. But comparing Iron Man and Superman by just their powers/abilities defeats the character's purpose and story arcs. Iron Man's story is more about redemption, from being a man of questionable morals to wanting to change the world and be a hero. Superman's whole story is about being out of place in the world and discovering his purpose. Powers serve the story yes, but if a person solely focuses on them, then they lose A LOT of the story being told.
@@beckymerchant4678 I do see your point, but I stand by what I posted 7 months ago. My view hasn't changed. This is how I see the Superheroes. And Clark also felt some need to repay the world that adopted him.
The moment when I heard Krypton theme , I got all the shivers in the world. Those notes encapsulated the entire Superman feeling. I'm so glad that Smallville gave us the 2 Supermen! All the love to Christopher Reeve and John Williams!
I love the Smallville show and it was a huge part of my teenage years. I related to him because he didn't know who he was or what he would/should be yet. Even though I did not grow up during Christopher Reeve's time, I can easily see and respect what an impact he had on people too. I respect both these guys. Now I am watching Arrow and The Flash, lol.
Flarrow is better than sex! probably..... :(
The Usual Spot I have been watching the Flash! I also watch Gotham, which has been pretty good as well. Is Arrow good? I remember watching the first episode of it and thought it was boring years ago. I think I didn't like it because I was still attached to Smallville's Green Arrow. But how is it?
destinyawaitsx3 Arrow is very realistic and grounded. It's best moments are martial art style fight scenes and covert mission type things or the occasional plot twist. I would definitely recommend the first two seasons, as those were very suspenseful and difficult to predict the outcome. Everything built up suspense until the end where your waiting pays off.
However, after that story arc ended, around season 3, it becomes more of a drama and I personally do not find interest in many of the supporting characters. They are a bit too bland to base the plot on. So yes it gets a bit boring. The show doesn't have much of the supernatural or fantasy nature like Smallville or Flash, so that is the part that will divide who wants to watch it and who doesn't. However, you may like it more than I do.
I find "Daredevil" on Netflix to pull off the "cool, dark themed, realistic, skilled hero" thing better.
The Usual Spot Cool! I will check both shows out. Thanks for your opinion on the shows.
The Usual Spot same here
Gene Hackman on the show, would of been brilliant
Oh God yes. Perhaps as a relative or ancestor of Lex's
