News Smallville complete series finally coming to blu-ray

I just rewatched that Ryan episode again which sort of sours that Crisis clip. He tells Clark not to give up and keep helping people and he does give up and loses his powers. Probably wasn’t the smartest choice to do with the character.

I can't remember the exact amount of times Clark lost/gave up his powers over the course of the series, but I know it was a lot. For all we know when Cryer Lex came along, Clark was going through another episode of the week where he decided to hang up the cape. If not right after, but soon I could see him reclaiming them to resume being Superman. Little weird he'd permanently give up his abilities when his Lex was president too...
 
Chris Reeve's Superman might kill a kid accidentally while changing their diapers.

Is Welling that much less accident prone?

Is the Kryptonian gastrovascular service a perfect diaper genie?
 
Regardless of what was going on that week, it's still super weird (pun intended) that Clark hears that all the universes will go kaput and he's all, "Time for lunch, smell ya later!"

The Fortress probably has hulk buster armour that he can wear, and kick ass in.
 
I read somewere that Clark had blue Kryptonite in his wedding ring, that is why he didn't have powers. And when he takes his ring of he is Superman again.
But his reaction is weird when he hears about the crisis.

Not sure what your point is here, but, presuming I was Kryptonian, I'd certainly wear a blue kryptonite ring in order to be able to stimulate Lois Lane's love muscle without having her explode and end up as an abstract painting of blood and bone sprayed all over the bedroom.

Not to mention the feel of her nails digging into my otherwise invulnerable back... OK, I have to go to the bathroom for a minute...

I mean, really, is there even a question about that?

Remember "Drawn Together"?

The urban 70s teen detective trope Foxxy Love was also a hard core leather dominatrix who got off on having an indestructible man to "try" to fuck up and punish.

Unfortunately I never had occasion to view that art film, and your link is restricted and unavailable. That said, I've known you long enough to trust your judgement on this.
 
If you follow the link to Youtube, you can see it.

You just have to convince Youtube that you are not a child.

Which can be deceptively difficult sometimes.

Drawn Together was a 20 minute cartoon that ran for 4 seasons and then had an art house movie.

7 different genres of Cartoon characters, black 70s teen detective, Peekachu rip off, betty boop rip off, Link from legend of Zelda rip off, Superman, rude pig fart jokes trope and fairy tale princess trope, all forced to live in a house together Big Brother style. The reality show, not the Orwell novel.

The humour is not acceptable any more, but it was made a long time ago, so it's fine, almost sometimes nearly.

My point is that he maybe still is Superman and has his powers the moment he took of his ring
 
Was there a chance for him to? Lex zapped Lois, otherClark, and Iris back to the Waverider and skipped out himself pretty soon after. No one seemed concerned to find a way back to get SmallvilleClark, and I'm not sure how he would have gotten to them. His nonchalantness at the end is a bit concerning, yeah. Idk, maybe he was on a docile version of Red K that day.

Just watched an episode with a young Anson Mount in it playing a stalker. I’ll need to add him now to the Star Trek alum who appeared in Smallville.
 
Finished season 2. You know if Jor-El wasn’t so bloody cryptic none of this wouldn’t have happened. :)
I don’t remember how season 3 starts so that should be fun rewatching. I remember his dad getting powers to stop him but I’m sure that happens later.
 
I think the last bit of season 2 is the weakest run of the entire show. The whole arc is convoluted, self-contradictory, and just doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I have a theory as to what happened. I actually think the original intent was to have Lion-El happen then. They devoted a lot of time over the first half of the season setting-up the Jon/Lionel dichotomy that really didn't amount to much besides a trite love-triangle thing that quickly fizzled out anyway. I think Robbie LaBelle was either a late addition or only meant to be a one-off. Then, whether it was because they wanted to keep the Magnificent Bastard around a little longer, or Glover didn't want to, or the network objective or whatever, they did a 180 and scrambled to change the end, which is why the whole thing is such a cobbled together mess.
 
I suspect that “Lion-El” was the direction they were planning for the Dr Virgil Swann character before Christopher Reeve died. In fact the producers have been rumored for years to thought of revealing that Swann really was Jor-El living on Earth! His paralysis was the result of injuries he suffered from Kryptonite why escaping Krypton’s destruction.

There is no way DC would allow that. In fact in the early seasons DC and Warner Bros movie division prevented them from having other Kryptonians physically appear on the show. So instead you saw stuff like Zod possessing Lex Luthor.

Connecting all those dots it would not surprise me if a compromise was to have Swann be a vessel for Jor-El. Which makes more sense. He was studying Kryptonian artifacts and was actually an ally of Clark. Sadly all that had to be rethought when he died in real life.
 
There is no bigger villain to DC than the WB movie division. The amount of time they have butted in and ruined TV stories because they think it’ll ruin their godawful movie ideas.
Most of the time they most don’t come into fruition anyway.
