Smallville : Smallville is the most stagnant show ever

Smallville is the most stagnant show ever

Especially in it's first seven seasons. It has a multitude of deep format flaws that I'm not sure the writers knew they were creating but if they did they certainly didn't intend for the show to go through any major changes as little did they know it would go on for ten seasons.

Clark and Lana love story could've easily ended after three seasons but they were dead set on it probably because they felt because it's about a young Superman he should be obsessing over his first love for the entire series.

The creators were dead set on Clark not flying until the end but it was like a four season rule and most of the time was making Clark look bad especially when other characters could and made him the most stagnant character on the show and as a result his first flight in the last episode was a bit of a let down for one saving stuff til the end can lead to problems.

Agreed. Even the old show with Dean Cain is better.

Since L&C was adult Superman it didn't have to hold back stuff or keep hitting the reset button every episode or season.

Re: Smallville is the most stagnant show ever

True.

Re: Smallville is the most stagnant show ever

If a TV progresses through two, three or four seasons you may wanna change it up otherwise the audience will think "Ah I've seen all this".

Re: Smallville is the most stagnant show ever

Smallville was a high school drama that happened to have low-key superpowered characters. They wrote many episodes that skirted that restriction but inevitably pulled back with a scene where whoever happened to see Clark exhibit his superpowers woke up in the hospital with complete loss of memory of the entire episode because of red kryptonite or magic or whatever. Kristin Kreuk made a seamless transition from Edgemont to this series. I think I only watched the first three seasons, up to about the point where Lana saw Clark do something super.

But one of the best opening credits and theme song!
