This version of Olsen is not coming off well imo... Also hate the L&C "CK" name drop

[Ultimate_Superman]

I prefer this Jimmy over "man crush on Clark, gee whiz" Jimmy.

thats the results from the comics and L&C Over the past couple years now Jimmy has been getting the short end of the stick to where he has a man crush on Clark. Hell after IC he has been deaged now back t his early 20's and is no longer a reporter but a copy boy. But I do like this Jimmy some what I just find it funny how his brother was suppose to be Jimmy as well.

 

[Kaboom]

Jimmy is my absolute most favorite character on the show. more than clark, lois and the MB. so there.

 

[Eros]

Jimmy on smallville fine, he is a reguler guy, who doesn't mop around a barn over a girl. Jimmy takes the leaps that clark is afraid to take, he comes off as a refreshing character as opposed to the increasingly tiresome personalties of the other characters on the show.

 

[NotFadeAway]

Instead of using him as a villian, I wish the producers would have cast Adam Brody as Jimmy Olsen or Pete Ross and basically have him be Seth Cohen, but on Smallville. I think Clark/Tom Welling would be hilarious with someone like that to play off of, ecspecially as Pete knowing Clark's secret.

Clark: Witchcraft. I know this is Smallville and weird things happen, but isn't this a little unbelievable?

Seth/Jimmy/Pete/Adam Brody: Dude, your an Alien.

Clark: True

To me Jimmy was Super-Man's "little buddy". It kind of loses that effect when he's a year older than clark, and would be his senior at the Daily Planet. I know this show has strayed from the Superman mythos quite a bit, but I really don't see the need to bring in an older Jimmy Olsen. And yes I'm aware that Lois and Clark never knew each other as teenagers (and truth be told they probobly shouldn't have brought Lois in the show aside from maybe a cameo, though I do think she is played very well). I dunno, its not the end of the world or anything having Jimmy on the show but the idea of him already working at the Planet and probobly being much more experienced than "CK" when he starts, just doesn't sit well with me.Its kinda like Bruce Wayne training martial arts with an older more experienced Dick Grayson. But who knows, maybe this JImmy has an older brother who named his son after him and Jimmy Jr. wants to follow in his uncles footstpes.

When did they say he was a year older?

 

[NotFadeAway]

Ive never had a problem with Clark and Jimmy being the same age, in fact, in my Metropolis series that Ive written they are in fact the same age and begin work at the Daily Planet on the same day under the thumb of the older and established Lois Lane.

I actually show Clark and Jimmy kickin it at lunch reading over comic books when Lois pops in and starts bashing them for being nerds. Yes, Clark is a comic book geek in my stories, and also a fanboys for this Batman guy that had popped up a few years earlier, although Clark is to intimidated to go catch a peek.

Not to bash your story, but why on Earth would Clark ever be a fanboy of Batman? Clark would never condone vigilantism. He's always hated Batman's style and how he uses fear and intimidation to fight crime. Clark respects Bruce's intellect, resolve and willpower but that's about it.

Because it's my take......and because my Clark admires that a normal man goes above and beyond to protect the innocent.

It's an interesting take on it, kudos that you would be willing to change the mythos around some when it's obvious you know the skewering you would get from the fanboy crazies.

That's probably what Al and Miles gets continually. For some reason fanboys cannot get it through their thick skulls that this is another man's take on the character, and it doesn't disgrace or botch the current comic continuity at all.

Let their be two takes on the same character, for it doesn't hurt or effect either.

 

[fangrl06]

I hate how Jimmy is portrayed! I cannot determine which is worse.....the akward and very annoying relationship between Lana and Lex or this guy who is in no way similar to Jimmy Olsen besides his name.....grrr......the only reason I watch this show anymore is in hopes that it will get better. I like the action, I like the way Lois is portrayed and I would like Tom Welling a whole lot better if he would take some acting classes.....It's sad too, because this show could be really good. Tom Welling makes for a great Superman! If only they could make him a little more like Clark. He isn't even very likable anymore. Give him some glasses and maybe a few jokes please. And the whole thing between him and Lois....what is that? These characters are supposed to be one of the greatest love stories of all time, and they have them acting like brother and sister. This is what happens when you give the fans everything they want rather then staying true to the characters.

^^^ Maybe you should go and watch your Lois & Clark DVD set.

.........Don't get me wrong, I like Smallvile, I just really would like them to change somethings. And besides.....Smallville kicks L&C's ass imo.

Well you're entitled to your opinion but I think Tom Welling does an amazing job in acting the role of Clark Kent.

He's so natural and infuses so much charmisma into the part that HE makes me believe that HE is Superman.

This is the only incarnation of the role where I've felt that the character doesnt come off as cheesy and that is in part due to Tom Welling's incredible performance.

I think he plays the role well as well but the main reason that he doesn't come off as cheesy is because he's playing a guy acting natural well as the other Clarks,(Reeve, Routh) are playing a man playing a character

YEah that makes a whole lotta sense. I'll just throw away 70 yrs of history on a character because it's MY take. How 'bout my Superman idolizes Benito Mussolini. So much so that he feels that fascism is a better political philosophy than democracy and becomes the World's First Super Dictator. Kudos to me. What a genius idea.







I'm sure Siegel & Shuster would be proud.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Actually Blk, I wasn't talking about you. I've never had a problem with you, because while you disagree, you are logical and open minded about things.

It's "others" I'm talking about, and I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.

What I was telling him was that if you are going to change some major things about established characters like that, you have to go in knowing you'll be offending some in the comic community.

Sorry to upset, I wasn't meaning to.

Thak You!

I know that is exactly what bothers crazed fanboys about Smallville, that Gough and Miller take Superman and put there own spin on it. They don't understand that Smallville follows it's own continuity, not that of the comics or the feature films, and thats one of the reason's I hope Smallville gets there own tv movie one day, just so they can show that the Superman that Clark will become is not Reeve's Superman, unlike others. I appreciate the hell out of Gough and Miller for taking a stale character at the time and making him interesting. I love Superman, but he was getting stale in all media. My only beef with Gough and Miller is that they won't jump head first into juicy storylines with series long ramifications, other than the death of Jonathan Kent.

At the same time you had a bunch of morons come in and try to completely change the story of Superman like Abrams and Burton. Thats wrong as well. Superman would benefit from small, minor changes, which would also drive crazed fanboys nuts but screw'em. For instance, my Clark Kent is, for one, the real man in the scenario, he is self-aware, a tade sarcastic, a bit of a natural goofball, comic book and superhero fan. Basically, my Clark is a natural day nerd instead of a bumbling idiot, a real person with real feelings and real thoughts on the world who becomes the symbol known as Superman because it's the right thing to do, not because big daddy Jor-El tells him to. Hvae you ever noticed in the Reeve/Donner films that once Reeve meets Jor-El, he basically becomes daddy's little robot. I love that Clark has stood up to Jor-El in Smallville, it needed to happen.

The main conflict in my stories is that while Clark wants to live in a black and white world, he knows in his heart he can't, that the world is shades of grey, and Clark has to find a way to fit in with that concept, regardless of liking it or not.

Im gonna stop here, because if I don't i'll keep going and that defeats the purpose of the thread.

 

[Jack O Lantern]

That's a bit extreme, the character that you want is in the comics, is in the movies is Lois and Clark, hell he's even in Supergirl, go watch him there.

This guy the Jimmy Olsen of Smallville, it's a show that deal primarly with the transtition of Clark Kent from farmboy to Superman and Gough and Millar will change character were they think is nesscary to achieve that feat. Just like how Raimi made Doc Ock and sympathetic villian or how Burton made The Pegiun a freak. It fitted into their story about Spider-Man and Batman.

My bad. I saw it as a personal attack on me. I asked venom240, what I thought was a decent enough question.....and he answered it. It really wasn't the answer I had expected but...that's his prerogative.

I apologize................Can we be friends?

Well, it is my take......lol

By the way, I explained in a previous post how I personally feel that smaller changes to the mythos might in fact help Superman rather than hurt him. Now major changes, such as Krypton not blowing up or loving on some Benito, those are stupid. Im against that in every way.
