Jonathan Kent is an interesting character in Smallville. In some versions, he dies early on, in other versions he doesn't and we only see glimpses of him when Clark is already an adult. But Smallville is more of a middle ground and we get to know Jonathan Kent, a man who loves his family more than anything, but is also incredibly stubborn and doesn't let go of some grudges. He doesn't trust Lex because Lex is Lionel's son even when Lex has proven himself over and over, he keeps saying Clark shouldn't say his secret to anyone even when it would do more benefit than harm, he doesn't let Clark do something he wants to try out of fear for people finding out about Clark. His fears are real and very understandable considering his son could easily be exploited or experimented on if anyone ever find out, but it also holds him back. But I can't still hate him, right because this man loves his wife and son more than himself. He's a flawed man, but an incredibly dedicated and loving father and husband.

I'm not that far, but I feel like Smallville accurately portrays the difference between a teenage love and a mature one. Lana and Clark were a teenage love to its core: Clark saw Lana as perfect, they didn't trust each other enough because Clark was too secretive and Lana couldn't be trusted to deal with his secret, Lana was never 100% sure about what she wished to do with Clark, and their relationship was mostly pining after each other. Their relationship itself was like 3 episodes. It was always something that was stuck between them and Lois is such a breath of fresh air: she's not like that all. She teases Clark, he teases back, they joke around, they're friends. He trusts her more than Lana already. And as we know that Lois Lane is Clark Kent's true love, this friendship that they have already will just evolve into something deeper. It's very different from Clark and Lana, where there was always something or someone that kept them apart, including themselves.

SMALLVILLE REWATCH - SEASON 1 EPISODE 1 - PILOT

First scene Lionel being abusive to baby Lex. Already going on about Lex's destiny.

Okay Nell just being an arsehole to Martha.

Four minutes in an we have someone wearing an S on their chest.

God Lanas parents really were just killed like that weren't they.

And it looks like the end of the world in War of the Worlds.

And Lionel actually appears to care about his son.

And we meet little baby Clark.

Kids don't just fall out of the sky - this one did. Their definitely not from Kansas - very Dorothy.

Clark researching impossible feets done so desperate to understand himself. So desperate to fit in. I agree with Jonathan on the football team it's not fair nor is it safe but I feel for Clark feeling excluded and punished for no fault of his own.

I took a shortcut - Clark you gotta find better excuses.

And Lanas infamous kryptonite necklace knocks Clark down. And "are you Man or superman" this show is as subtle as a brick to the head.

Yes Lex let's speed and use your phone whilst driving. God your lucky you ran over a Kryptonian or you would be facing manslaughter charges.

Clark instinctively pulling Lex out of the river. And realising how crazy it was for him to save.

Oh Clark spying on your crush with your telescope is beyond creepy.

Oh Lex giving the kid who saved you a card with your initials anagramed on it and a very expensive truck.

Can we not use the term "real parents" when you mean birth parents. Both are real.

Clark has every reason to be upset about his origins being hidden from him. Not that there was a good time to tell him.

I squeazed through the bars - clark you're like 6 foot and well built - there's no way you did that. If you're going to lie all the time you have to be better at it.

Clark and Lexs tragic friendship already being alluded to.

And Clark seeing Lanas tragedy and finding out all the weird things that happen in Smallville can be traced back to the meteor shower that he arrived in. That "its all my fault" creating a guilt complex that had Clark too convinced he wouldn't be forgiven to trust those he cared about. Because how could they forgive him when he couldn't forgive himself.

Whitney your girlfriend can talk to people without you tying him to a pole.

And now Clark has the S on his chest for the first time.

And now Lex returns the favour and saves Clark.

You could give Twelve's entire "Where I stand is where I fall" speech to this Superman and not a single word would feel out of place.

Love a big hearted alien who is the last of their kind and devotes all their times to helping others simple because it is right thing to do even if it kills them.

"I sort fics by kudos and only kudos on stories with high kudos counts, why aren't there more stories with high kudos, I ran out of things to read." You're part of the problem.

"Authors artificially inflate comment counts by thanking people, I can't find anything with a real comment count to read." No they fucking are not, they're grateful for engagement.

"I can't read anything under 100k." That's the majority of fics you're ignoring, most novels aren't even that long.

"I don't have time to look for the incredibly rare diamond in the rough, so I won't read anything below a certain amount of kudos, comments, and hits." Those fics are popular because people gave them a chance and then snobs like you found them.

"I won't read anthing with a single typos." You made typos in that sentence, get off your high horse.

"One singular author didn't thank me for commenting, I'm never commenting on any fic again so I don't get burned." You're punishing people because someone didn't give you engagement they don't owe you that they might not have seen.

"This fic is three months old, it's so old, it doesn't matter if I comment or kudos, it's old." Fics do not have expiration dates, comment and kudos.

You're killing your fandoms with your snobbish behaviors.

I like to think Krypto jumped onto Lois’s lap because that's where he sits whenever Kara flies a spaceship; like he just presumed that's where he's supposed to be (and he was right of course).

there is something so special about lois - who doesn’t really do relationships and has a harder time being vulnerable and opening up and maybe doesn’t always let herself get close to people - having an apartment that is full of so much personality and sentimentality. all of the books she has. the binders (probably) full of old articles and drafts. all of the coats and bags by her front door. the worn, maybe handmade, blankets. the framed article in a place of high importance above the mantle. the framed photo of her name drawn in the sky by clark. there is just so much her present in her home, so much there that tells you about who she is. it's a space that is as raw and vulnerable as it is warm and inviting and authentic.

(contrastingly, clark’s metropolis apartment, which we don’t see much of, is pretty bare. and that’s because we get to see the core of who he is and where he comes from represented in his childhood room back in his parents house)

there’s just an extra layer to lois saying “i knew this wouldn’t work” while clark stands in her apartment, her home, a physical location that represents so much of who she is, a place that she’s already invited him into. she’s scared to admit it in that moment, but he’s already gotten past her walls, metaphorically and physically.

the other hilarious side effect of the “Clark gives all of his closest friends and family Kryptonian names” thing is the admittedly unlikely but hilarious realization by one (1) Lex Luthor that Bruce Wayne has a personally-gifted Kryptonian name from Superman and not him.

I sometimes feel like Smallville was simultaneously brilliant for making Smallville littered with Kryptonite and also super super dumb by using that as an excuse to create metahumans instead of using it as a reason for Clark not to discover his powers until adulthood when he leaves Smallville to go to college.

Like imagine: Clark Kent spends his first 18 years of life a sickly kid who needs glasses and has chronic headaches because of Kryptonite poisoning, completely unaware he's an alien. Then he wakes up on his first day in college, rips the door off its hinges, has 20/20 vision and laser eyes and is not only completely healthy to the point he can save a kid from being hit by a bus with surprising speed but also where did these abs come from HELLO???!?!?!????!?!!

Like I have an AU in my mind where Clark becomes Superman in college and still fully believes he's human because he doesn't know about Krypton and then when he tries to fly back to Smallville for Thanksgiving he slowly falls out of the sky because Kryptonite and why is my head hurting again? I thought I was past these when I developed superpowers HELLO!?!?!?! WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!
