Ok first off

I know that, I wouldn't mind if Lana is a small part of them becoming sworn enemies [Just like with Harry Osborn & Peter Parker fighting over Mary Jane Watson] But to have Lana be the final nail in the coffin . I'd exspect something much more impressive and Bigger for two Legendary fictional comic book characters .

But we know there's been tension there and anything on an emotion and close level would be logical to divide the line. There's absolutley nothing wrong with that at all, you knew given the way the show was set up since season 1 that because the producers choose to put them in the same town together and become this close early that something on an emotional level (The parents, Lana, the foreshadowing) was gonna lay the grounds for how it was gonna end. What's so wrong with getting Lana involved? It adds drama it makes the rivarly personal. People like you may not like but think about why this show is one of the more impressive adaptations of Superman? The driving and changing relationships between all the characters in Clark's life. It makes it much more interesting and that's why people still watch. Better to Lana like this than just some teen 'ship, this is much more dramatic (from SV standards) and all Lana and Lex are characters everyone knows in the Superman mythology so it's a good interpretion for the modern Superman. As we saw with the recent movie, there aint nothing wrong with changing things here and there, but at least there not doing something drastic like giving Lois a ******ed kid (because she does breed ******s.... )


I hated That love triangle in season 1 of Lois & Clark, I'm so happy they ended it at the end of season 1.

But using the Joker as an example is so out of the ballpark, it renders your argument senless because Lex is different. You can believe a Lex Luthour has the charm to steal or manipulate the people Clark love. Hell he's been proving thoughtout this series even Martha trusted him and one point when he offered to help the Kents farm out. Joker is just different, all the vilians in Batman are too outthere to suspend disbelief. With Lex you can buy it, that's why your weak ass argument doesnt hold.

And last of all, you don't know Jack about me. And I doubt you know as much about The Superman mythology than me. [You like many who watch smallville know the basics of the superman story, but you don't know all the details.]

Oh so you know me? That's cute, if they do ever kill off Lana maybe they should hire you as the most drama ridden "victiim" teen. You say people dont know jack about you then stop trying to preach people about shyt we already know like a comic book lecturer. Throughout my life I've read the comics, graphic novels, seen the Superman TV shows, all 5 movies. So what treehouse secret do I not know? It's Superman for god's sakes the most well known fictional character arguably in literature history. Superman fans wanna say that the character is so broad, so you know we get the basics, nothing here is wrong. You just being a comic book geek talking about we know the basics, if anything this show has shown more than the basic (focus on him growing up, showing his childhood friends, the origin of many things, Brainiac, showing other DC characters) so that generic snotty uppity "I know more than you argument" is weak.

Grown folks is talking, sit down. You never say anything when I put you in your place so play your position as usual. and go back to spamming the Durance thread.

And this is no fight, this is good healthy discussion going on here Mods.

I'm ending this stupid fight between us, After 5 seasons of fighting . I'm done with it, it time I at my age and not lower my self to your standers. Going into Season 6, I'm just going to sit back and enjoy the show .

On rethinking DeKnights comments regarding this post, I'm wondering if he was referring to this aspect of the Lex Lana relationship. We all know that Lex wants what Clark wants but will Lex in due course realise that he has nothing in common with this smalltown girl.

well just out of lexmas you may extract a couple of motives in both directions, why he would want to be with her, and why he wouldn't..

on the (seemingly less likely) side - why he would want:

He may see it as a fight with (projected) destiny, to ensure he conquers it all, - to have a life he wants - the way he wants it (without loosing her in the end by being/choosing to be someone week and "powerless")..

Just wanting to hurt Clark seems a bit simplistic for such a triangle and their history..

And the arrogance of considering both Clark and Lana being just "smalltown falk" will certainly come, but it will be (in a way) over between them before it is fully "established"..

imo..

I thought about his undying love for Lana in Lexmas, and I realised that that was a different Lex. Its not the real Lex that we have.

He may see it as a fight with (projected) destiny, to ensure he conquers it all, - to have a life he wants - the way he wants it (without loosing her in the end by being/choosing to be someone week and "powerless")..

I think a part of him is wanting her for the reason that it keeps him from going over the edge. I mean he has said as much, however its a losing battle for him. He's going over and once he does that Lana wont mean the same to him.

Just wanting to hurt Clark seems a bit simplistic for such a triangle and their history..

I think if he can hurt Clark along the way, then that's a bonus.


I just watched a Lana Lex deleted scene from Tomb, and I wish that they had found the time to keep it in, as it actually shows that Lana was not fully trusting of Lex, but she was trying to see him on a deeper level.

^ it's the reasons that are there for her to be hurt by both of them that tell a big part of a story of who is who..

in the end, (third act) she (and we) will see..

I suspect that she knocked a little too hard.. perhaps, not enough.

Who said we were arguing . This is a debate, all you do is post shipper stuff, whine about the show and then someone tells you different you cower in the corner like your the victim .
I dont how you lower standers but you can improve your standards by looking at the show objectivley. But if you choose not to, fine but dont act all preachy and act like your better than us. I already explain my position on it and dont complain about people picking on you when you accuse people of "knowing nothing about Superman" (like that's a cardinal sin in everyday life )
But we aint arguing little man, just dont be intimidated when someone disagrees with you. Frankly I'm dissapointed in you, you claim to have all this knowledge of Superman and comics but cant counter debate to save your life.

Respect for Tupac. But to have that name (Ludacris) anywhere near Tupac shames me. One had a real message to tell. The other one had a huge part in starting the bling/*****es/hoe's trend.

Now THERE's a debate I want to have.

maaan, Luda is the man. Although I'm not liking his new mello image too much. I just put the name there randomly when I registered what can I say.
But yeah you know Pac was the man, hard to believe it was exactly 10 years ago today....but that's another topic.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Tupac's fate was sealed, you could just look at his name and tell....when spelled backwards you get Caput.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Never looked at it like that....

Nevertheless dude was a cultural icon

LOL! As posted over at DeKnight's blog:

"Steve hurry up and finish Justice so you can let us know what it was like to create this premiere [Zod]"
- Kristie

"I'm typing as fast I can! When I'm finished with Justice, perhaps I'll post some of the stuff that that got cut from Zod... like Lex/Zod's attack on the Presidential motorcade..."
- DeKnight​

Hah! That would have been sweet, and kinda X-Men-ish in an odd sorta way.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I wish they would have kept that in. That would have been cool.

 

[Lt. Figgnuts]

And last of all, you don't know Jack about me. And I doubt you know as much about The Superman mythology than me. [You like many who watch smallville know the basics of the superman story, but you don't know all the details.]

That's kind of presumptious, don't you think? Jeez.

 

[AgentPat]

Agreed, but DeKnight said later:

"We cut it out of the script. Too expensive, plus the script was timing out too long. Cool scene, but it was that or gutting half the special effects in the ep."
- DeKnight​

So I guess that explains why it was dumped. Oh well.

Lex as Zod attacking the President would've opened up a big can of worms that I dont think they would want to deal with. it's bad enough he raided the Pentagon. Will we ever see the Feds come after Lex for that one? I doubt it.

Well he probably did it at superspeed and therefore he went by undetected.

I cant see how him attacking the President's motorcade would have had any effect on the plot so it was probably an easy scene to do away with and as you said it would have opened up a big can of worms.

Isn't Sneeze about someone coming after Lex because of what he did as Zod? (If not, that's okay, don't tell me. I'm spoiled enough as it is!)

I had thought the same thing. Having one of the most recognizable faces in the world attack the pentagon should have some retailiation, or at least I would think.

And the guy that kidnaps Lex in the next episode is that reject actor from "Night at the Roxbury."

can i just ask one thing. Why was everyone in Smallville driving at the age of 15 instead of 16?

 

[Lt. Figgnuts]

[Just like with Harry Osborn & Peter Parker fighting over Mary Jane Watson]

I'm fairly positive with Harry and Pete it was pretty much always about Norman - at least on Harry's end. Mary Jane would've played an EXTREMELY minimal part if any.

driving age in Kansas is 15, 14 for a farm license
