smallvilled. once lois lane was introduced. which made no sense to happen in smallville before he was a reporter and then that was about when lex went from being a sorta walking the edge antihero to villian which sorta ruined the schtick. Honestly lex luther was the main character to me in the show.
Lois was the best part of that show. Lex should never have been a part of it, despite how great Rosenbaum was in the role. Doesn't fit the question, show started, continued, and ended all on the same premise.
yes it does. the show initially was about lex's struggle to do good but being thwarted by various situations causing him to appear the bad guy or having unintended bad outcomes. then it became cookie cutter superman except he met lois before he ever went to metropolis for some reason against normal canon.
Having recently researched the series I can say with confidence that no, that is not what the show was ever about. Lex is constantly trying to do what he perceives to be the right thing, but winds up pushing people away because he was raised by a psychopath, and every time he has a choice to put that aside or double down, he chooses to double down on it.
Always was lol, since season 1. In fact it gets less and less this every season.
Hence my comment that Lex shouldn't have been there at all. If we're going orthodox, let's do it! No lex, no Lois, Smallville is nowhere near Metropolis, and teenage Clark Kent can fly! Sounds like a great show.
if you want more smallville content look into that wierd sex cult the cast was involved with
One person. Long after the show had ended. 🙄
i thought there were at least 3 involved
Nah, just Allison Mack.
I thought she recruited more people from the show, tbf, I read that so long ago that I might have forgotten
