Ive always thought they'd do so well in a Below Deck situation so thank you for this eventual gift to humanity.

truly they are all made to be the perfect staff and/or guests… now to just get the writing bit happening…

Lex and Lana do have a lot of similarities, the Mastermind kind of personality for one, but it’s that they both look at the unknown and are afraid, they see a threat, for valid reasons, but they operate in the face of that potential threat out of fear, and their response to being afraid is take what power you can get to defend yourself and do what needs to be done. Lex is right in wrath, Clark’s not like them, they are survivors, and that really does shape their whole worldview. It’s one in which destruction will inevitably come, they just have to be prepared for it. They have to beat it.

But then you have Clark, and Clark is locked in his own fears, which come with his crippling sense of responsibility, which comes from having all the power Lex and Lana crave and finding it not an easy thing to bear. But he doesn’t operate like a survivor. He may be the last son of a destroyed planet, but the thing is, when Clark came out the other side of that meteor shower, he didn’t find destruction. He found a new chance at life and two strangers who took him in and loved him as their own. And so, where Lex and Lana act in fear and control, Clark can act in a kind of hope. But he’s caught in his own fear—control cycle, in regards to things he realizes he has no power over. No one has power over everything! But all the characters here are grasping clawed fingered for every iota of control they can get to assuage their fear. Lex succumbs to his power trip. Lana in her own way does too—her power becomes the embodiment of weakness. Clark is smacked over the head in Homecoming with the one thing no one here considered: what if the threat wasn’t always a threat? What if sometimes good things happen outside of your control? And that kind of hope is what frees him.
