@ryanell666 I would have been upset/annoyed coming back after being pestered so much only to have your entire character completely negated by the end of the episode. Lex had his entire memory erased, so nothing that occurred in the show, none of the traumas of his youth matter anymore. Those are the things that shaped him into the villain he was, and they wiped those away.
That to me is the biggest reason why the finale was an utter failure. They took my favorite live action version of Lex (though I disliked many things they did with him earlier regarding Lana) and ruined him completely. They negated his entire purpose on the series. What an insult to the character, the actor, and most of all the fans.
@wtcvidman Yeah exactly man. I loved the finale so much. Even the fact that we didn't see Tom Welling in the actual suit, and only a CGI Superman didn't really deter me from my love of Smallville and this episode. It's what they did to Lex. Clark and Lex's friendship from the earlier seasons was the best thing about the show, and then how that fell apart was a huge factor in why Lex became who he is. They always made it his environment that made him evil, now he doesn't remember it.
I thought the finale was tolerable until the memory wipe. I thought they wasted way too much time with the wedding & it never even happened (something I said didn't need to be seen on this show anyway). I would liked to have seen much more of Lex rather than all that time waste. Also, like I predicted, Darkseid was another flop of a villain given how badly & easily he was beaten after a whole season of buildup. But I was able to overlook all those flaws until the Lex mindwipe.
I posted all sorts of ideas at Kryptonsite about bringing Morgan Edge back so he could break Bruno Mannheim out of prison & form Intergang as its leader with Bruno as the heir to the throne and explaining Lex to be the one behind the VRA & behind the murder of Jor-El's clone. And I posted another idea of bringing the evil Brainiac back to merge the Zods & explaining that Brainiac was the voice of the orb & was Alia the Kandorian (which is why she had powers under both suns).
@MGOSnakeLiquid Well the 'mind wipe thing' isn't that much surprising to me coz in every movie or show of Superman.....they've always plotted it as Lex not knowing who Clark really is and STILL, eventually be the GREATEST VILLAIN on the THE MAN OF STEEL 's LIFE......the concept of Smallville just deepens the REASONS WHY Lex is Lex....it's WHO he REALY WAS and WILL BECOME with or without his MEMORIES!
@AAKSBanta GLADLY they didn't DO the same thing to LOIS though, "the-mind-wipe-thingy"......THAT would have been the STUPIDEST thing to do on CLOIS RELATIONSHIP in Smallville!
Will there be any way that you can make the 1-minute video "Smallville Series Finale Behind-the-Scenes somewhere that we can view/download it? Such as on Twitvid or Dailymotion or Mediafire, since Comcast is blocking it from broadcast in the USA by youtube. And thanks to you, and the guy at CWTelevision, for posting all of the great videos about the Series Finale. I still wish we knew some more about the plot. Or that we could be assured that we will see Tom wearing the SUIT, etc.
Michael Rosenbaum looked like he was in character in the video lol
