The real conflict in Smallville isnāt Clark vs Lex, itās Lex vs the Narrative.
Iām not even being pithy here. We have a character that is Going To Become Evil. That is the information we have going in. Then he shows up episode one, heās kind and hurting and being emotionally abused by his father and the whole town hates him and he keeps trying.
But he canāt win, because the pitch that got the show made depends on him Becoming Evil. It externalises the evil as something that happens to him, rather than the Lexes in other media who often start out as arseholes who only get worse. This Lex could have been good, but heās not allowed. The narrative says from the get-go, without subtlety because subtlety is not Smallvilleās strong point, āthereās darkness in himā. And then it shows us a kind and intelligent man trying to escape from his fatherās control and says āthat guy, there. Donāt you see it? Heās going to destroy everything. Why? Oh, because heās Lex Luthor. The narrative requires it.ā And that's the fucking tragedy.
And part of the tragedy is so many almost-moments where you wonder if Clark could have helped him. On the brink of sharing his secret, of speaking openly with Lex, of showing someone believed in him and Lex wasn't defined or doomed to be like his father - on the brink, and then turns aside. Superman's Narrative keeps his secret, and though Clark sees the good in this young Lex he has just enough doubt or hesitation that he doesn't commit to trusting Lex, and Lex can see it. And Lex of Smallville, who does want to help, who wants to be worthy of trust, is pushed further to the end he cannot escape.
Part of the frustration is the show's framing does Clark Kent no favours either, because they do the same thing with him in that they write him as already a hero, when in fact he is (allegedly) a teenage boy. He is supposed to be learning to be a hero, or to inherently be the nicest guy in the world, because that's who Superman is.
Instead they act like he's the nicest guy in the world, when in Smallville S1 (and somewhat beyond S1) he experiences selfishness, he's unkind, especially to Lex. It's not major, nothing beyond what you'd expect from any teen boy with powers... but he's not 'any teen boy with powers', he's the boy who will be Superman. But rather than have these mistakes and show us he's learning and improving, they have these mistakes but then it's okay, because he's Superman, he's a hero, best guy in the world. Everyone forgives him and he doesn't even have to show remorse.
And it's like, are you sure? That guy? Because he just snapped at his friend whose father is in a coma. Is seemingly blaming them for it. And according to the episode that's... that's okay actually, because that friend, you guessed it, is genetically evil.
(The only person Clark ever has to textually repent for upsetting or hurting is his dad. Which is weird.)
Only day you can rb this

the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.
There's a Doctor Who title generator now :D
Here are some great new episodes that have leaked
