  • This is just the BEST Lex Luthor vid in the history till now. Moved with me. Fantastic.

  • I so touched by this vid, I don;t know how I feel about the finale, but I love LEx so I'm just glad that he;s back. Great vid!!

  • Gawd this video still rocks. I get chills seriously at "1:52" when the music changes with the blue and the painting stroke...BEAUTIFUL WOMAN!!!

  • [SPOILER ALERT]

    Thanks for putting this up. Really nice video. Having also been annoyed at the wipe of Lex's memories, I have come to a new conclusion.

    Lex didn't actually lose his memories. Perhaps something in Lex's unique biological make-up, with his high white blood cell count, actually fought off the neurotoxin. His memories did flash before him, whilst he was fighting the neurotoxin, but ultimatly they were not destroyed. He doesn't say anything to the contrary, so this is plausible.

  • @MichaelMJG91 Good point! Although I think he probably DID lose a great bulk of his memories, I agree with you that his biological makeup might fight it. Not to mention his genius level intellect and resources. I mean this is the same man who tore his mind apart trying to uncover 7 WEEKS of memories he lost. Imagine losing his whole life, and piecing it together, and not knowing WHY he hates Superman but feeling these subconscious emotions! THAT is what they were going for with the wipe, IMO.

  • @LuthorRequiem [SPOILER ALERT]

    I cant accept Lex losing his memories happily. Smallville showed Lex Luthor's path to darkness - think of everything that occurred. The relationships, with Clark, Lionel, and Lana - deep and complex ties that affected him immensley. The significant moments that pushed him that bit closer to the man he would become, such as the dream of Lana, losing her, his time in Bel Reeve, and so much more. Wiping everything away makes all that irellevent to who he is after.

  • @LuthorRequiem [SPOILER ALERT]

    So whatever they went for, whatever interpretation, my own interpretation has to be that Lex fought off the neurotoxin and retained everything. If that was not the case, the path to darkness we watched on screen, was not really Lex's final path to darkness. I cannot accept that - only by retaining his memories and legacy does Lex Luthor remain the man forged from his 'battles', and journey, put forward in Smallville.

  • @MichaelMJG91 I think we're both in agreement about how important those memories are to who Lex is. That's why I'm saying he probably did everything in his power to get those memories back post-memory wipe, all the while being driven by subconscious, repressed memories (i.e. his hatred for Superman stemming from his repressed memories of Clark). 7 years later, he's president, so it seems he has regained most of the pivotal memories or will regain them. But I do wish they explained it better.

  • @LuthorRequiem Perhaps they want you to make your own interpretation :)

  • @MichaelMJG91 Haha thanks, Michael :) I would absolutely love that. Did I mention I'm writing a fanfic about it on Kryptonsite? It's called "Memories" under the Clark/Lex forum if you ever wanna check out more of my interpretation. It may make you feel better about the wipe a little haha.

  • This is such a beautiful video! <3

  • This is such a poignant and touching video. It really conveys just how tragic a character Lex Luthor is. It almost seems merciful what Tess did, washing away the memories of such a downfall. Great editing, it really moved me!

  • it is so sad , hearbreaking ! everytime i watch this mv ,i think of how many hard momnets lex went through ;( .and to see that this lex is dead , becasue to me the new lex who is a clon and doesn;t remember anything would never the guy he was at first .we all change :( and become someone else

    it is really well edited , nice dedication really !!

  • BEST LEX VIDEO! <3

  • makes me cry!!! I love love lex.!!!

  • just perfection! love this vid and song was great to use with it

  • i think the reason they took Lex's memory was to help him have a new slate become a better person...thats how i saw it anyway i loved him since season one evil and everything lol

    amazing vid u captured his character perfectly

  • @TheNeverworld I have to disagree a little. Lex was doomed from the beginning as far as lining up the Superman version of Lex. Everything Lex knew was linked to Clark if you think about it. All of Lex's projects and people were dosed with Clark. If Clark was just erased Lex would still be obsessed as to why this guy(Clark) was in so much of his life. This would cause him to investigate Clark again until he found out his secret. If he did he would easily kill everyone Clark knew(ONYX EPI.)

  • Such an amazing video. I would love to see a version where everything is going backwards chronologically, back toward the moment he met Clark, to the beginning. :) Also going into my favorites. I love your videos.

  • What happened w/ Lex ruined the finale for me. Like you said, there goes 7 years of character development. WTH? ::sigh:: It still really doesn't make sense to me. It kills me that he forgets his friendship with Clark and his love for Lana.

    Anyways, your vid is phenomenal and heartbreaking. It literally makes me tear up. *cries* Superb editing. You really showcase all the sides and complexities of Lex's character in a very focused manner that matches this song insanely well.

  • What happened to Lex completely broke my heart. Your video made me cry. Everything Lex lost... he won't remember Clark. Lex had his best moments because of the influence Clark had on him and now that's all gone.

  • You have made me fall in LOVE with this song! The video editing and song choice are so perfect, I'm watching it again. I don't know how many times I've watched this.

  • This is awesome!

  • I love Lex too! This video is amazing!

  • I love this!

  • I FUCKING LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!You make the best Lex vids on YouTube!This is so going on my fav list!

  • He shouldn't kill Tess.I hate him for this.Apart this, he is magnific .)

  • This is a masterpiece! I was in the middle of the video and I was crying already... this song is the perfect one for Lex! You did an amazing job and you should be proud of how you portrayed his character in this overall video! =D

  • You should be satisfied at 100% by this video <3

    I hadn't realize how sad it is that Lex forgot everything until I watched your video. But in a sense, the Lex we knew and loved is dead, so I guess the fact he lost his memories is the final act of the tradedy that was his life. Well, that's my opinion.

  • oh geez. i cried when Lex lost all his memories at the end of Smallville. i was soo PISSED because he lost all of that brilliance he had. plus, they made it so that no one could say that it was Clark's fault that Lex became evil, even though it WAS. no one can say it was Lionel, or even the world.....nope. now they made it all on HIM and it KILLS me ;__; btw this was an amazing video. i love your videos because i can tell you love Lex as much as i do. <3

  • @famousfreakinhobo oh god the end is so ironic. i love it. your videos are amaaazing :D

  • @JohnLawrenceCobraKai Chill out, dude.

  • Also..wanted to comment on 1:52 When the music picks up with the brush of the painting brush on the canvas...going in and out of that scene with the blue coloring of the mental hospital...really pretty!

  • I cried. I HAD BUCKETS OF TEARS. I don't know how this possibly could have been done better, the stark contrasts of his loving scenes with all the ugliness later on.... oh ow... for that all to be wiped... ahhh... *wails*

  • I love that I can see through your vids how much you love Lex. This is an amazing vid. Beautiful job!

  • MR should see this. <3

  • A la Bestia, that was awesome, like truuuuuuly awesome, this is THE Lex Tribute forever, everything about it is perfect

  • mind blown...perfect

  • Oh shit, hun I love this!!!! You made this so amazing and I am in love with it so much <3 <3 <3

  • that was amazing, wonderfully edited. i understand why he had to forget clark but I didn't get 'Everything' being taken away. lex was one of my fav's for a long time and this vid reminded me why. loved it.

  • It's so sad! Absolutely amazing!

  • amazing!

    your editing was perfect

  • I also really liked when the music changed in the beginning you made the first memory the first moment we saw Lex at LuthorCorp!

  • This video showed such triumph and sorrow. Katey this kinda felt like a final Lex video from you...which it totally not gonna happen...lol. I liked how you used young and old lex as well as the memories of the few rare moments he had with Mr. kent. I hate how they erased his memory the way they did. They didnt have to wipe out the entire life span who made him who he was. This song was a perfect choice as it made it feel very epic. LIked and fav'd as usual. You rock. Now get to work for more!

  • amazing video! 

  • WOW! This was amazing! This is the best Lex video out there. I had goosebumbs. The song fits very well with your choice of scenes. You have put the scenes of young Lex and grown up Lex perfect together. You were able to create an outstanding atmosphere. Thumbs up! Love it!

  • this video is f*cking awesome. excellent work!

    Lex (and wonderful Michael Rosenbaum, who portrayed him) did not deserve such a meaningless ending. Anyway, this show is worth something now only because of cool fanvids like yours.

  • wow, one of the most beautiful Lex/Smallville's video!

    the song is perfect (and epic for me). The ending of him, was very flat. I'm totally agree with you.

    anyway amazing job!

  • the very beginning - subconsciously, there's a reason for why he feels the way he does about Superman but he just can't remember. Yeah, I agree it was really heartbreaking to see all those memories disappear but I get why they decided to do it - it does make sense for the mythology. Anyway, sorry for the rant, just thought I'd vent my own opinions on the subject! Really love this video and I hope you don't stop making Lex/Clex vids now the show is over!:)

  • and his girlfriend dies...he compelled to forget about it but he's still heartbroken and still grieving - he just doesn't know why he feels like that. I like to think it's the same with Lex - everything that has happened to him (his abusive father, his friendship with Clark, his love and loss of Lana, etc.) has shaped him into the man he is. He's still the same man - he just doesn't know why he is the way he is. I actually think it was a good way to explain why Lex Luthor resents Superman from

  • This was so stunningly beautiful. I don't even know where to start...I always feel like I'm repeating my compliments to you and none of my words ever seem good enough to do justice to your amazing vidding talent. And I loved your music choice..so perfect. I get why you're mad about the finale, but the way I look at it is, he's still the man he is because of all his life experiences - ok, the best way I can think to describe this is using The Vampire Diaries as an example...there's this character

  • OMG! THIS IS AMAZING!

  • This was perfection. Seriously. I have so much love for you at the moment. You make the best Lex vids ever. Thank you.

  • Seriously , this is PERFECT ! You mde an amazing Video about LEX ! GREAT Sceneschoice to the Sonlycris ! GOOD Coloring ! Actually , i don´t like him , but i ´ve to fav you Video just , Cause this Video makes me , to like LEX :)

  • I HATE SMALLVILLE WRITERS!! I am SO mad. But like I said its not the real Lex. lol but the fact that they flushed 7 years down the toilet in so many ways, first by saying he was really dead then erasing the clones mind...I just can't forgive that stuff. WORST WRITING EVER!! lol anywho, I loved this so much! Its beautiful, and I can't communicate that enough!

  • Don't even get me started on the lexmas stuff! I'll never articulate jsut how lovely that was! I guess we can picture the real Lex off in a heaven like that or something! Gah!!! The memoria stuff was also perfect! All of it is perfect as always!! Aaww and you got Davis in there!! Yay! Stupid Lionel took him away too! Imagine how great that friendship would have been! OMG 4:16...the flashbacks!!! OMG breaking my already broken heart!!

  • That was too much!! lol perfection! Aaww and then the "I would have died. I would have loved you all my life" could there be more fitting lyrics for the way he loved her?! OMG *cries* BABY LEX!!! Aaaaaaww OMG he was so sweet!!! I'm a mess over here lol I loved your use of Asylum! The running, the memory loss, and the hug! All brilliant! Oh and Exile!! The "where have you gone" that was awesome!

  • God poor baby! He will ALWAYS be my FAVE character EVER because of all those things you said. He was such a sweet guy who just wanted love and never got it. He was hurt over and over again by everyone who should have loved him!! Aaww the stuff with Oliver! I loved that! It's nice to see some of their stuff in there! God how mean everyone was to him in school! :'( Aaww Lana for "the damage is done" Gah kill me!

  • Lex Luthor is dead. That thing in the finale is called "Lex" or clone Lex lol I will not call it Lex. NEVER lol anyway, now that this rant is over I can move onto the video. Just a warning: I'm not sure my comment will be quite the same as usual. I'm in kind of a bad place. My dad had a heart attack & things aren't looking good right now. Anyway, I'll give you details about that later. So the vid... Gah perfect song choice! It really broke my heart!

  • OMFG!!! I think I just died. I can't stop crying! I HATE the writers with a burning passion! My reason for getting angry at the mind wipe is simply because it was like not only did they kill our Lex AND have a clone walk around looking like him but on top of it it seemed like they ERASED him all together! WTF?! I still will NOT refer to that thing as Lex EVER. It's not Lex. A clone is not the same person! It's a copy. It's a phony imitation! Your soul is what makes you who you are, which means

  • @crazyashgm86 But Lex in the finale was not a clone. He was the original Lex Luthor, he was just severely injured (from the Fortress falling on him, not the truck explosion IMO) & he was insanely brilliant enough to plan in advance in the event of such an injury to have various clones to help heal him. Think of it as an organ transplant: if someone has an organ replaced with someone else's, does that make them a different person? No, it's just a physical body part being replaced, that's all. :)

  • Oh my god how the hell could u hated the finale? thats insane im sorry

  • @DarkDragon564 What you call insanity some of us call good taste and standards.

  • @crazyashgm86 owww hostile much?

  • INCREDIBLE!

  • This is really beautiful. Awesome job.

  • God I love this. I totally agree with everything you said. The finale pissed me off no end it totally betrayed the character. This was beautiful and I'm crying typing this.

  • beautiful vid and i agree about how they handled lex in the finale.

  • veryy goooood

  • I realize that "bwhahaha" looks like laughter, but it was crying....

  • AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HAVE CHILLS AND I AM CRYING. This is just SO beautiful. I have no words...the Clana and Clex and Lexmas...oh my god, all the LEXMAS. Only 45% satisfied? Try a MILLION PERCENT. So sad and perfect. the "I would have died, I would have spent my life with you..." BWHAHAHAHA! :( and then the end showing him with Clark, Jonathon, Lana, Martha. And the Fracture/Promise parallel with Lionel beating him.I cant. I just. can't. BEAUTIFUL

  • I don't think it made sense for them to erase his memory. I mean his ENTIRE memory of his time in Smallville and his relationship with Clark. Removing the part of finding out about Clark's secret, ok fine with that. But everything else?! grr.. and it makes absolutely no sense for him to become the villain that he is if they erase all that's happened to him on the series. I was really happy with the finale until they pulled that crap and it just.. I can't even rewatch the epi. *watches video*

  • So sad.. Great work

  • I know i just watched this whole thing like, 5 minutes ago. But i am back >:]

    I can't stop watching this, and considering i don't even watch the show, that must show how friggin' awesome your editing is. Making something i don't have an interest in look so beautiful and captivating, true talent bro.

    Everything is just so flowy and flawless. and the coloring. And the song. asfakfsj.

    If anybody dislikes this i will kick them to China.
