Man oh man it's over! Ok honestly there is toooooooo much to say about this show so I'm just gonna write lol. First thing that comes to mind is, depsite how much love I have for this show, it isn't perfect. Having said that, I watched Smallville they I deal with real friends: day to day. The show wasn't a person but fans still had a relationship to it and someitmes you gotta be objective with your relationships, your friends your family. There are many things the show could have done better. Maybe it didn't have to be 10 season, maybe 7 or 8. The Fortress arc with the 3 mystical crystals could have been shorter maybe...
CLARK AND DOOMSDAY SHOULD HAVE THROWN DOWN LOL!
But I still loved this show, I grew up with it honestly. I like what my bst friend said, that fans get too caught up in the hero and not the man. Heck in Superman Earth One, Superman said just that, at the end of the day he is just a man. The journey is what is important but you hardly know it when you're in it.
I feel like season 10 was the sequel to season 1. And I loved the ending of the finale, the Jonh Williams theme, the slowmo. Clark looked so comfortable in his own skin for the first time, like he knew what to do, like that's his power: knowing who is and being it 100% whenever he wants as long as he wants ^_^
And when Clark and Lex talk, I loved Clark owning his destiny and rebuking Lex:
Clark: "It wasn't your destiny to take!"
Lex: "You're right and I realize that now... and that helped me finally embrace my own."
Granted Lex's path is darkness I still understood that. You gotta accept what's yours, sadly Lex chose to bury other things and he couldn't be a force for truth and justice. And seeing Lex return.... dude I was almost screamin'! Michael Rosenbaum is my alltime favorite portrayal of Lex Luthor and seeing him come back was so satisfying. And it comes to mind that back in the early seasons of Smallville a psychic saw him as president and causing the death of so many. Now that he's back in the fan consciousness and the show it makes sense that he's elected in 2018. Full cirlce!
Seeing Jonathan Kent and Jor-El come together at the end was great too. The powers and the rural maturity made Clark the hero he was meant to be. The union of two houses and two gifts made one unified identity.
Someone said on the Smallville facebook message board that they'll embrace their destiny thanks to Clark's story. I feel I can do the same. And that's why this final season handled the villain Darkseid the way they did. He was a dark presence to be felt. A presence of fear, doubt, insecurity and weakness. The stuff that really matters to us. We don't want money or power or land or weapons, we want love and family and the ability to build up and construct a society where people floruish and can do the same thing. In they're own way.
It's all about being who you are. Superman means it from the bottom of his heart when he says in the comics, "You all have powers to, use them to help make this world a better place.". It's about knowing what you have inside and using it, be it physical, emotional, mental or everything. Know how it works and do great things.
Jonathan Kent: "Fly Clark...FLY!"
