DISCUSSION Smallville Subreddit Update - Start of 2026

115 Upvotes

Hey Smallville Peeps,

Hope you had an amazing festive period and great start to 2026!

In our last post we mentioned this:

Any posts moving forwards talking about how there's more Lana favouritism or more Lois favouritism in the sub, purely to rile up drama, will be removed and the user will be banned for a set period of time.

Off the back of that update, unfortunately it's gotten a bit out of hand with the Clana and Clois shipping so for the time being we will have to remove all bad-faith posts that are talking about shipping for these two characters (and others where necessary) - sorry but for now this is sadly the direction we have to take. Please feel free to report any posts you see that cross this threshold and we will investigate and where appropriate - take action - there is a new rule at number 10 to help you report this type of shipping.

Finally its our usual plug for the Discord :-)

Invite Link:

Roughly 400 people in there now - the more people that join the more we can talk about Smallville!

Thanks for being awesome - we appreciate all of you!

I find Clark with Lois way better than Clark with Lana since Clark has been more free and expressive around Lois than being around with Lana ….. What are ur opinion guys ??

LINK S5EP12: Interesting That Lois Gave Advice to Both Lana & Chloe After They Found Out About Clark

I recently made a post about Lois's helpful advice to Chloe after Chloe found out about Clark's powers because of Alicia.

I just finished watching Reckoning and I was surprised to see Lois giving advice to Lana this time. It's one of the reasons Lana was able to accept Clark's secret quite quickly.

And can I just add that Jonathan's death made me cry? I already knew it was going to happen. I just don't think Smallville would feel the same without him.

DISCUSSION Smallville was one hell of a ride

35 Upvotes

I am finally done watching smallville after more than a year. I started it last year march 2025, and finished it august 2026. To be honest, the last 3 seasons are my favorites because the reason I watched it in the first place is because of clark and lois. I saw some posts in x that they're married so I gave it a try. No one told me I have to suffer 8 seasons of emotional roller coaster before I get into the parts I'm looking for.

Overall, it's a joyful ride. Nostalgic. Cringy at times, but it is good. Teen dramas can be sappy, eh? Lmao. I watched early seasons of these series when I was still in college but I don't know what happened why I did not finish it. But here I am now.

I just want to add, smallville lois lane is the best version out there for me. She's like a ball of sunshine. I love it. Love my girl.

DISCUSSION Theory, Lex beat Clark in the future

Upvotes

After the season 11 comic, we know lex becomes president and we know from the crisis on infinite earth clip that Clark gives up his powers, that takes place in 2019.

From Smallville we see a flash forward to 2018 when Clark is fully superman. So he would have to give up his powers around this time. Also lois would of been pregnant or already have the kids by this point.

I think lex as president finally got his memories back, fought Clark and won, making a deal for Clark to give up his powers.

We know he eventually gets his powers back because in the show, we see a vision of when Clark dies and he's superman flying into a supernova.

Edit: There's also how long is Lex president for if he wins against superman? Is it 1 term or 2? And when does Clark get his powers back?

DISCUSSION First time watcher: strange question

29 Upvotes

I'm a new smallville watcher. Currently zooming through season 2 at an alarming pace. God I can't get enough of this show! It's so relationally richhhh.

As the algorithms have picked up my interest in Smallville I've been increasingly shown edits and reels from the show, but I've also suddenly noticed a spike in "looks maxing" content lol.

Seems like Welling's Clark is one of the ideal types for looksmaxers (understandable), but I just am finding my reels suggestions hilarious. I'm a woman in my late twenties but my feed looks like a teenage boy now.

Anyone else noticed something like this, or is it just a me thing. 😛

IMAGE Lex Luthor Explained

Was Lex Luthor destined to be a super villain? Was it genetics? Was it his rivalry/friendship/trust issues with Clark?

OR

Was it everyone constantly barging into his office, home, rec room unannounced at any time.

Been rewatching/watching with my wife (don’t know if I ever watch all the episodes back in the day) and can’t help but notice how rude people are to Lex about his own home/office/space. They just barge in, don’t knock, don’t call ahead, don’t text (they were starting to text back then), just arrive.

I know that would drive me crazy, maybe even crazy enough to turn super evil…

Just sayin’

DISCUSSION How far is metropolis from smallville

54 Upvotes

I’m wondering how far it is because I remember in Truth, S3 Ep 18, Chloe makes Pete tell the truth and says Clarks going to get hot dogs in Metropolis and she says, you’re going to take a 6 hour drive to get hots dogs so you think it’s far. But then again, you can see Metropolis at the top of the windmill but it can’t be that high that you see it, like the Burj Khalifa can’t see other cities from the top. So how far is it

DISCUSSION So I just finished my first run of Smallville at 50 years old.

50 Upvotes

The music brought me back to that time when I wasn’t able to watch it. And now that it’s over, I kinda miss it. It’s weird but I liked the series’ earlier seasons better before everything changed up and some characters left. I was disappointed with how Lana was handled at her return. I thought Clark met up with her again at some point in his life but I guess not.

What would you consider to be Lex’s first actual moment of evil?(and i don’t mean when he was separated and had an evil Lex going around. I mean regular ol Lex)

And what do you consider to be his most evil act on the show?

DISCUSSION Might be a triggering opinion but I have to vent it out...

0 Upvotes

Lana is literally the most annoying character up until now(S6). Like clark saves her so many times, never lies to her except his superhero stuff and she still thinks he is jealous of her and lex as he is trying to warn her about the obvious aftermath of lex getting drawn into a space ship. More over, the weird face she makes when happy or sad is frustrating. Like I am being honest, she isn't even beautiful. Chloe and lois look so much more believable to be the kind of girls to make topshots like clark and lex fall in love with, lana looks like that annoying mid we all know who thinks she is a 10 and the world revolves around her.... (Sorry if it's too much, I couldn't stand her supporting shady lex over our virtue boy clarkie)

DISCUSSION There was something annoying about Season 4

9 Upvotes

I’ve just finished Season 4 and I’d probably say it’s my favorite season so far but there was annoying genre of episodes where like the whole episode was finding out the person they were talking to were the wrong person. I don’t know how to say it but I’ll give you examples. Onyx, Spirit, Transference, Crusade. Like Onyx they were talking to two different Lex, Spirit you never knew if you were talking to the prom queen or friend, Transference they didn’t know they were talking to Lionel and Crusade, they didn’t know they were talking to Kal-El or Clark. It was fine at first but this genre of episodes got really repetitive though some of these episodes are great, I got so annoyed seeing another episode like that

DISCUSSION Honestly lex deserved to be treated that way...

21 Upvotes

Like...be so fr...He is often presented as "trying to do the right thing in bad circumstences" but half the time HE IS RESPONSIBLE LIKE BFR!

And he always on about "trying to fix it" or "just trying to help" but he never tells the truth, never faces the consequences of his actions, at least not intentionally until they blow in his face, and he doesn't truly take responsibility.

Like...I am currently rewatching smallville and I am in s2 ep22. He just told Helen that "if you believe I am capable of this kind of deciet why'd you even marry me?" and right after she walked up he pulled from his hidden vault a vile of blood which he took from her office.

He always on about trust and truth and "do you trust me Clark?" but why tf would he? Everytime he is asked a question his answers are always vague or answering the question with a question like...pissing me off.

Him trying to solve his issues "privately" has NOTHING TO DO WITH WANTING TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE, he just dont want people to see him as he is. The show presents his character as a tragic "doomed to become what people think he is" but the truth is that they were right he is a bitch...doesn't help that he looks that way everytime he asks...that stare...Somehow Lionel looks so much more trustworthy than Lex...and its not just about him being a manipulator its because at least he doesn't pretend to be something he is not, at least not on the long term.

DISCUSSION I used to find it really upsetting about how they never showed him upclose wearing the suit

Post image
270 Upvotes

But now I realize that it probably wouldn’t have mattered because that was the suit worn by Brandon Routh in Superman Returns It probably wouldn’t even have fit Tom Welling anyway. The real problem was that they didn’t make him a custom made suit and instead they decided to display a hand me down.
