The actress who plays Zide Clark Kent’s mother is Annette O’Toole, who plays Lana Lang in Superman 3. In addition, LEX LUTHOR and Clark Kent are super buddies. Pete Ross, who married Lana Lang in the original story, is now a close friend of Clark and has nothing with Lana yet. Again in the original story, because Lous Lane was born and raised in the metropolis, Chloe Sullivan was created as the counterpart of the Lous Lane character, she falls for Clark, and she is blonde. On the other hand, Whitney, who was created in order not to leave Lana Lang’s head empty, is also such a fictitious character; she is a football player, a heavy and boring brother, but thinking “she needs me because her father is very sick” Lana cannot leave her.
2) The series, which has many differences with the original Superman story, has just completed its third season in America. True to the comic spirit – Jeph Loeb (author of Superman for all seasons themselves) is the advisor. Unlike the original, Pete Ross is black. A character named Chloe has been added. Lex Luthor is not -yet- bad (he lives in tides); he is good friends with Clark. There is no sharp distinction between good and evil – unlike the old superhero stories, many episodes refer to Superman stories. Especially the red-blue colors of Clark’s clothes are among them.
3) If the fourth season is recorded, it would be appropriate to make the name of the series Metropolis, since there is nobody left in SmallVille anymore; the majority of the people of the bay were beaten by Clark in 3 seasons, from Kryptonite turned into a freak because they could not stay in their place like a man to the rest.
4) Some relationships that are constantly emphasized in the series
1. Clark and Lex are homey. Clark and Pete are like brothers. 3. Clark loves Lana, and so to say, Lana loves Clark.
5) Until today, except for the work called KINGDOM COME, it tells the youth and contradictions of Superman, who could not escape from being the most “flat” superhero, and although it often contains the characteristics of the American youth series, in my opinion, the very successful series Clark Kent will be the Superman we know, and it is a series with many references to it.
Superhuman powers are present in the series, not only in Clark Kent but also in other characters. Here are a few examples that stuck to my perception:
Jonathan City: super stubborn, super moral
Lex Luthor: super bald, super smart, super obsessed
Lionel Luthor: super investor, super liar, super ropeless puppeteer
Chloe Sullivan: super connection owner
Pete Ross: super unnecessary black
Lana Lang: super stupid
According to the lyrics of the song “Save Me” in the first season credits, the appearance of the characters on the screen was very fine-tuning. For example:
His father, who gave Clark common sense, inner discipline, sense of responsibility and helped him become a Superman at least as much as his biological father, appears in the line “I Made This Whole World Shine For You.”
Since they are stupid, Lana and Pete appear in the “saaaaaaave meeeeee” part of the song, who are always stupid over stupidity in every episode and always surpass themselves. Their need for rescue has not been solved by Clark; they are actually too stupid to live. Lex also has to escape from his father’s wrath from time to time.
Chloe, who has always been in love with Clark, appears in the “I’ve been waiting for youuuuuuuu” part, which, despite being 48735 times smarter than Lana, could not bring two words together in front of Clark, convinced some viewers that she was waiting for something.
Lex’s need to get rid of his father’s pressure is embodied by helping the towns and their friends in a fatherly manner. Its savior is the city family that Lex envied forever; however, this situation cannot be permanent.
Lex Luthor has been the most compassionate bald in my life. “Did it ever occur to you, Clark that maybe the hero of the story, is sageth?”
Although Lex has a standard of living that everyone is jealous of, the possibilities and reasons for his emotional deficiencies are given, in my opinion, quite subtle compared to an American TV series, which I also appreciate.
It is a series that has a scenario that supports the proposition “Power Is Not Power Without Control – Power Is Nothing Without Control” that Pirelli, who used Ronaldo Luiz Nazario da Lima in its advertisements, sloganized.
6) A series built entirely on small details. Some of the details that attract my attention and find very nice in the series:
– Clark’s father had a sense of ethics based on one hundred percent social happiness (everyone is happy, I am happy at that time), but compared to this, the book that Clark reads in the first chapter is “Portable Nietzsche.”
– In the second episode, there is a pope roach poster in the room of Greg, who has turned into a bug and a bug sick, and also, the car he drives is a Beetle.
– Because of Kryptonite, almost all of the young people who have various superpowers and abuse these powers are missing either a mother or a father in their families. Is it the reason these kids are causing anxiety in the town of Smallville, or is it something else, not Kryptonite? Is the series trying to give an underlying message?
7) The series in which Lex Luthor and his father constantly use the words of Greek kings and philosophers. Of course, it is not difficult to understand that Dalex Luthor’s name comes from Alexander the Great. Also, the presence of a bust of Alexander the Great in Lex Luthor’s study is a good proof of this.
8) The house of Lex Luthor in the series is the mansion at X Men 2 and important detail.
” Chloe’s cousin in the drama is Lois Lane, but we never see her for the first three seasons in the drama “
9) My only criticism about the series is this: Clark saves everybody, flies away, tears apart cars, walls, and after all these events, nobody reacts to Clark asking, but how did you pierce this wall, or what did you remove the door? In summary, everyone should have understood that this is not a normal creature (a righteous criticism)
10) Well, this is my favorite comment. A meteor falls in front of the man, he becomes a bug, and he comes and beats Clark. The other’s bone is flexible so that it can be dressed like anyone else, Clark is beaten again. Lightning strikes the head of the other person, takes negative electricity from Clark, comes and takes his anger from him. Clark goes and looks at Lana slobberingly. Then Lex Luthor comes along and says, “We are super buddies; let’s wander together.” And besides all this, there is kryptonite everywhere and in everyone. One of them wears a kryptonite necklace, the other has a kryptonite field, the other puts it as coal in a barbecue, and the other one made a rosary made of kryptonite. And in this way, they beat up a nice superman. By the way, in this already small town, 5000 people live at best, and half of them have supernatural powers. So starting from relativity, our brother Clark Kent is not that much Superman in this town.
