- With the last piece of the puzzle now in his grasp, Clark Kent unravels the mystery of his purpose on Earth. But the cruel reality of his mission proves too much to bear.
Smallville (Season 2, Episode 17 - "Rosetta")
Smallville (Season 2, Episode 23 - "Exodus")
Tom Welling as Clark Kent
John Schneider as Jonathan Kent

No one group of people understood Superman more than the writers of Smallville.
YES!
I just can't get over how much of an amazing father Jonathan Kent is in smallville. My god...no wonder superman became such a boyscout.
You can give half the blame to John Schneider. He has a similar background as Jonathan Kent so he really was perfect for the role. If I’m not mistaken, he also was known for disagreeing with the writers from time to time over how he felt his character was written. Obviously you don’t argue with a southern man portraying one of his own. The script was changed to reflect this. It’s honestly one of the best things about the first five seasons.
@@aubreyt.copeland5019 thats awesome!
as a casual fan of this show I don’t do much research but its these types of input that I enjoy finding out 🤙
Agreed.
@@aubreyt.copeland5019 Believe it or not, John Schneider was born in New York (Mount Kisco in Westchester County) and spent the first 14 years of his life there.
The composer did such a masterful job
Seasons 1 to I believe 5 was composed by Mark Snow. Really good composer.
@@ariesarethebest271 incredible
Right?!❤
One reason I love Smallville so much better than the recent Superman movie or TV shows, is that it shows Clark's heart and how much he cares, and why he chose to become a hero. And he learned this from his dad. Jonathan Kent was an amazing man, solid true and true.
Damn you took the words right out of my mouth, very well said because after his dad said "I raised you, I know you better than anyone else." Clark shut right up.
Part of that old "American way".
I love that Jon Schnider made Jonathan Kent into such a great role model of a father for a young Clark Kent. He was a flawed character but he always tried his best for his family
We learn later that Clark completely misunderstood Jor-El's message although to be fair Jor El may have been testing Clark to see his moral character.
We often do see alternate version copycats of superman that are told to be good but then turn out evil through the pressure. one has to choose it. it was always a test.
No he didn't, this is what Jor-HELL cares about, and he repeats it in season 10. You can't RULE and be a savior AT THE SAME TIME.
@@LygarZeroX BS, Jor-el doesn't care.
@@radicalreactions1633sadly
@@radicalreactions1633Jor-El was using reverse psychology, pushing, even trying to force Kal-El over to the darkside, basically forging him into a being that REFUSED evil and corruption.
Jor-El knew how easy it would be to become evil with absolute power, so what he did was to make Kal-El despise the corruption of absolute power, and make Kal-El CHOSE his own destiny to be a savior rather than a ruler.
One of 2 things happened with Jor-Els message:
1. The show writers meant it to be a message of Clark ruling before changing their mind (as although it teaches harsh lessons, the personality of the Jor-El AI gradually evolves over the course of the series)
2. The message was deliberate reverse pyschology by Jor-El to truly test his sons determination for good, or in the hope Clark would rebel against his wishes for good.
Ya dude, Jor-El was always testing him. This is where that started.
3. It's a direct tree refuting of the ubermensch
Yeah,i get a little bit confused when i saw that. Because in the Original story Jor El dont sent Clark to be a conquer....
Jor-el's always been a jerk, in every iteration. Stop trying to make him out to be better than he was. And he didn't evolve or improve.
@@mateusol3391 He also doesn't send him to be a hero, he sends him to save his life. You're confused because Jor-el is a contradictory character.
This show had a lot of good strong parent scenes. See Superman became super because he had a mom and a dad.
Both parents are crucial for a child's development. I know that's probably a very politically incorrect statement these days, but it doesn't change the fact that it's true.
No, he was already that way, that's why he doesn't like the idea of "ruling," the parents are just guiding him through what he wants to do.
@@thecowboy9698 If it were true, then there wouldn't be such great people in the world DESPITE HOW LOUSY THEIR PARENTS ARE, and the majority of them are trash. Clearly yours weren't that bright.
@@thecowboy9698it's only controversial insofar that it sounds like you're saying only traditional family units can raise happy, healthy, decent children.
For sure, single parenting is a lot harder. Parenting is a hard work, and it is better not to do it alone. However, many single moms and single dads manage, perhaps with the help of stepparents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. What matters is for the child to have positive role models in their life who will love and support them into adulthood.
@cameronclark8298 For sure, two parents are better than one. Single parents do the best they can with what they have, but of course raising a kid on your own is going to be harder than sharing the work. It sometimes cannot be helped though.
The "a father and mother" is not true. "Scientific research that has directly compared outcomes for children with gay and lesbian parents with outcomes for children with heterosexual parents has found that children raised by same-sex couples are as physically or psychologically healthy, capable, and successful as those raised by opposite-sex couples, despite the reality that considerable legal discrimination and inequity remain significant challenges for these families. Major associations of mental health professionals in the U.S., Canada, and Australia, have not identified credible empirical research that suggests otherwise."
When Clark says “I think I was sent here to conquer” gives me chills for some reason. I think it’s because I really enjoy the Injustice story line.
if he towed that line - he would've ended up as the kid from bright burn 😂
No it's because that's not who he wants to be.
@@radicalreactions1633 that's right he was sent here to protect it
The way I see it here is that Clark is rash and always jumps to conclusions. So he maybe Interpreted jor el’s message wrong. We do all the time as humans. Also, he was just downloaded with the language so maybe some of it still doesn’t make sense to him. Nevertheless, if it was meant to say to “rule,” jor el sent Clark to Jonathan and Martha knowing full well they’re good honest people so their love and how they raised Clark would’ve never made him into a conqueror
4:11 my god that's beautiful
Definitely misread the message that or Clark is a Saiyan in this series
Then off he goes collecting the dragon balls...
Kakaroto !
Theres a lot of similarities between Goku and Jor-El. Only thing that changes is Goku's reason for being sent was much more nefarious, but the characters mirror each other VERY heavily.
Well did he misread the message or did he misunderstand Jor El’s intention behind it? He sort of refers to them as a flawed race in the original movie that they lacked the light to show the way. He sent them his son to show them the way or to rule them. His intentions may have been good but it would be interpreted badly on Earth because we don’t like being ruled
More like kakarot is the kryptonian in his story…
Greatest Superman production “EVER”
Clark's ship be like: take the world
from the bright burn movie.
We all need a Pa Kent
But his destiny has always been, when the world no longer needs superman, Clark Kent will always be needed in a farm, a husband and a father.
What? The world ALWAYS NEEDS SUPERMAN, this isn't Batman.
😂que malo
Smallville was amazing good show Clark read message wrong he tell him his powers come from the sun he fly into sky great powers
Too bad he didn't tell him (Clark) that he sends him there to save his life.
It's Like BRIGHTBURN but He Choose What He Wanna Be😇
Actually its the other way around
Yeah this is where I got upset with the series and wanted to face palm. In other versions Jor-eL was smart enough to include a LIVE recording from both himself and his wife! Oh and to build a ship that wouldn't lose crucial pieces when it arrived on Earth thus leading to a whole season of his son having to find them and to put them all together only to find a vague message that was easily misinterpreted!
Actually those pieces that form the fortress weren’t on the ship they were on Earth before Clark’s arrival
@@TheMan-je5xq I was actually talking about the parts of the ship, not the fortress. those two pieces we see Clark and his father put into the ship that brought Clark to Earth.
Krypton’s technological capabilities and the time Jor-El had to prepare Kal-El’s departure vary widely from interpretation to interpretation.
at the time Superman had been around for 60 years and change. Over 60 years of widely varied versions, they can get away with this.
The only thing I will say is that this jor-he is not a fool, everything he did he did to test his son in his physical absence, I understood that in the series. what you say is true but those are other versions of Jor-el with different personalities and more loving but this one is colder, calculating and not so loving he is a pure cryptonian that was what I understood in the series. Jor El (Marlon Brando) is loving, vigilante and patriotic and his methods are very different from Jor-EL (Smallville).
3:06 superman theme
I never had considered it, and I've been a fan of the Superman mythos for decades .. but Kal-El could have made Alexander the Great look like an poor amateur. I'm watching the show the first time and I really don't like the confusion about Jor-el's basic nature. He's downright cruel, most of the time. I always picture Jor-el more like a enlightened scientist-philosopher who was smart enough to realize his world was doomed and save the life of his infant son.
Clark hit his head and forgot his conquer mission
just like kakarot
I always took it as he was mean to go to earth to conquer, but to conquer evil.
They played the same Superman music in Smallville
I can't help but think Clark mis-translated this, or at least mis understood it.
It's a cultural thing, rather than a strictly language. But it can be seen in one of two ways.
We see a single ruler as a bad thing, a tyrant or dictatorship, but in all honesty that's not a given. It's entirely possible that a benevolent leader can exist. While we on earth are easily corrupted by power and glory, that might not be the same elsewhere. Then factor in that in most media we know that Jor-El objected to the Kryptonian Council and they out voted him. In his mind at the time democracy lead to the downfall of his race. It's near, if not total, extinction. Wanting his son to lead humanity to a better future, one that learns from the mistakes of his own, is not a bad thing. It's only Clark's fears both of his own power and how people of earth may react to them, that makes this a sinister idea.
Then you've got to ask, what is a ruler? Well it's a long straight thing people use to measure and draw straight lines. When Jor-El was asking his son to rule the people of Earth he could have meant guide. Give them something to measure themselves against. A yard stick. In his own way this could be Jor'El simply wishing his son to be the best man he can be and inspire others.
Lets face it; unlike Jonathan Kent Jor-El was not a good parent. The versions we've seen of him (in this show alone) showed us a deeply intelligent, but flawed man. Quick to anger and utterly committed to his ideals, but having trouble expressing himself. He was strongly moral and I think also feared his son may abuse his powers. Hence the challenges and obstacles he put in the way. He's a complicated character, not helped by the inconsistent writing over the show
Also the version we see is an AI. I think make in response to Zod. The actual man(or the Clone at least) seemed more human.
He didn't, Jor-HELL repeats it in season 10.
@@DesignIncase That's because it's not actually Jor-el in man-form. It's a desperate attempt to make him more human, and how many times does this machine tell him to DISREGARD human feelings? Every freakin' day.
@@radicalreactions1633 I do wonder if you read the full comment.
“Rule” has a great deal of different meanings and translations. The AI “shadow of Jor’El” (if you will) could have meant any one or several of them at the same time.
Remember that Kryptonian culture is alien. Completely different to that of midwestern America. Clark (and we) do not have the same perspective as Jor’El.
We know he was a flawed man, by our understanding, but our understanding is not his.
i wonder if zor-el or zod or even brainiac rewrote the message in the ship.
Possibly since the only reason Clark was sent to earth was to be safe from the destruction of krypton
Well Zod and Faora did interact with the ship by putting their “son” Doomsday on it
@@TheMan-je5xq It's not the same ship, trihards.
Kakarot screw it up 💀
Maybe Jor-El was trolling Clark .
Strength doesn't mean with iron fist.
That’s the way i always saw it that he didn’t read the message wrong but he misunderstood it’s intention.
RULE DOES, get a dictionary.
clark misunderstood the message
Yes he didn’t read it wrong but he misunderstood it
@@TheMan-je5xq | The only explanation is that he read it wrong. There’s only one way to understand the word "rule". Either he’s supposed to be a benevolent dictator or just a dictator as it says to rule with strength. Unless "rule" and "guide" or something are similar words in Kryptonian but that’s never said.
@@charlietownsend2826 ruling and conquering aren’t the same thing though. To rule with strength could mean strength of will and character not physical power.
@@TheMan-je5xq | Yeah but it still means rule. If you expect him to rule, chances are you expect him to conquer or you expect the people of Earth to just surrender power to him.
And while strength might mean strength of character or will, not only does it change nothing to the implication of ruling, the fact that the sentence right before was "you will be a god among men" leaves even less wiggle room. It’s clear his right to rule comes from his powers according to the message, not from his heart or will or character or anything of the sort.
@@charlietownsend2826 hey the story of King Arthur was that of a man destined to rule that didn’t make him evil
I've been a loyal Superman fan since George Reeves' 1950s serial. My biggest complaint with the story line is the insistence on killing off Martha and Jonathan Kent, every time! "Lois and Clark" got it right - turned them into great characters, and greatly enriching the overall story. Even the Bible story of Moses got this one right, or at least mostly right. Mr Moses, Sr is never identified, but Mom is kept around, along with little sis (Kara?)
This feels like Omni Man teaching his son Mark. That he live to conquer.
Gavin says : Kal-el is the Saviour of earth and the survivor of a lost planet called Krypton!!!
1:54 Why would Kryptonians call our sun Sol?
Kryptonians actually visited earth a couple of times, which is exactly why Jor El sent the pod to Earth or more precisely Jonathan Kent’s farm.
@@halogalaxy5612 How does he Know About the Kents Though???.
@@ataladin87 In one of the episodes, Jor el was sent to earth as some form of rite of passage he ended up in smallville, he met Jonathan Kent’s father after being on the run from the police for a murder he didn’t do, the Kent’s helped him escape.
@@halogalaxy5612 Earth??? Rite of Passage???.
To prove What???.
Also, Why did the Kents Help an Escapee??.
@@ataladin87 they didn’t exactly delve that deep into it, they just stated that Jonathan Kent was chosen by Jor El to take care of Kal El
They need to do a Clark vs bright burn vs homelander lol
Omg Clark murderstomps if he takes it seriously haha
It's Clark. It's always going to be Clark.
Homelander and Brightburn are the Great Value versions of characters like Zod.
Clark has fought evil Kryptonians before and won every single altercation.
After seeing how the series turned out, definitely sure Clark misunderstood the message. Jor-El intended for his son to be a force for good, not a conqueror. This was either a misinterpretation or a test.
Then maybe you didn't pay attention when he was contradicting himself every episode. You're the one misinterpreting it. JOR-EL WANTED HIM TO BE A RULER/CONQUEROR/TYRANT, he repeats it in season 10. Or you're just delusional and think that all parents are GOOD, they ain't.
As so do cw, think about "Smallville"
But, What, else, would Superman Can't
Either be, than just a man of still? At
For Warner bros cast, his name in Smallville
Apart from the fact that he fly in the end...it's the best super hero movie ever
I'll watch it over and over,, never gets bored..the fact that he didn't even wear a suit❤❤i love this guy...wish him ntng but long life!🙏
In 1:08 Jonathan says" It's hard to believe that you were ever that small" Is that right guy?
The notes from the Christopher Reeves' Superman movies sprinkled in there was great

There Are None Righteous / How To Be Saved-
Romans 3:10 & 23
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Luke 5:31-32 (Jesus speaking)-
31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
1 Peter 3:18 (The word “quicken” means “to make alive”)
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
Romans 10:9
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Repent of your sins or suffer the consequences. Lord Jesus died in our places personally to take the death punishment that sin deserves and then resurrected by the power of God. Believe this and sincerely repent of your sins each time you sin and you will have eternal life and nothing to fear. Fail to repent and you will end up in the Lake of Fire.

I actually would of liked it more if the voice of Jar El was Zod or Agent of Zod the whole time, and Clark discovered his father later in series to be compassionate concerned scientist.
Where voice of fake Jar El wanted him to rule the world.
I just couldn’t see Jar El as man who branded, brainwashed Clark as well as others to get what he wanted,
No he didn't, they only softened Jor-el's ass up later, sort of, because most of the fans didn't like him. This ISN'T a "fake" voice of anyone, it was a DIRECT MESSAGE from HIS FATHER IN HIS OWN SHIP. WTF are you talking about? Nobody "branded" anyone.
@@radicalreactions1633 Sorry what I meant for branding was marking the house of el into Clark's chest at the end of season 2, which I thought was a little extreme for his character, even if he was trying to prove a point.
