Okay. Here is simply the 5 part video of how I thought the "Smallville" Finale should have closed. As I've said before, I was perfectly fine with the Finale, and loved every minute of it. But this is just the version(mostly) that I would make if I was in charge. It's got a few kinks, but you know what's going on, and I've made the story changes as clear as I possibly could, while trying to keep you guys entertained.
I'll give a quick summary for each character's fate that I changed:
Clark:
You'll see more of Clark in the suit for sure(Even more than "Superman: Genesis"). Like I said some of it is a little dodgy but my main point of this video wasn't only for that. I speed up through the wedding more, and I changed the outcome of the wedding. Definitely a more sincere Superman than what the finale had too(In my opinion of course).
Lois:
Same thing. Different Wedding result. She's not in this as much as I wish she could have been, but this is about Clark. She still makes an impact though.
Tess:
Tess is the same.
Oliver:
I was really aggravated with how they ended "Prophecy". I kept in the Darkseid Trinity but I got rid of that rather stupid plot point where Oliver is a servant. Let's just say he achieved getting the Bow of Orion in that episode.
Chloe:
Chloe isn't in it much, but like with Lois, it's really the same impact on the story as it was in the actual Finale.
Martha and Jonathan:
I definitely loved all of the Kent Family parts and references, so I tried keeping in most of those. There were a few scenes I had to take out due to the story line, but they're presence is still as emotional and moving as it was in the Finale.
Lionel:
Lionel has the same fate in this, which I thought was actually a proper send off(Especially since it was Earth-2 Lionel).
Darkseid:
I definitely wanted to have a physical Darkseid. Overall I think it would have been better if they avoided the Darkseid route but I honestly liked the "Darkness" story line and I wanted to include the confrontation that determines that. Pretty much an extended "Superman: Genesis" fight. The people who wanted a fight will be satisfied I think.
Lex:
This was a big thing people wanted to change. Michael Rosenbaum is potentially the greatest Lex Luthor of all time on-screen, and that was because we got to see the fall of Lex, and understand why he became evil. Then something happened in this episode that a lot of people were upset with. Let's just say, I think you guys will like the direction that I took it.
Unless of course you LIKED how they(Spoiler Warning) erased Lex's memories. Oops, I've said too much already.
Anyway guys that's pretty much a brief description for some of the changes. Watch for yourself to see everything I've chosen to change, but all in all, it is different than the actual finale. I'm not gonna say it's better, just different, and I hope you guys like it.

@WorldRebirthX I used Sony Vegas Pro 10 for the editing and Adobe After Effects CS4 for the visual effects. Thanks!

you took an episode (in my opinion) that left so many loose ends and you were able to tighten them.you gave more depth to the end of oliver queen through his flash backs, you allowed lex to remain a threat for the future, and your masking was incredible.i'd like to thank you for giving me the chance to love the finale, this was far better than the real one.
as lex once said, "Trust me Clark, our friendship is going to be the stuff of legend," he must have been talking to you about editing

@boredsox78 Haha! Love your comments man! Love 'em!
Thanks! It means a lot. I wouldn't say I tightened everything, but yeah I liked to think that I sort of "fixed" a few holes that were in the actual Finale. Just a few.
Thanks again!
