good part specially when lex said we have a destiny together
-
@Hacking360Tutorials Because Lex's plan to achieve greatness and fame (infamy?) is to make a name for himself as Clark's nemesis, which he can only do if Clark becomes a hero by saving the world from Darkseid first. It's no good for Lex if someone else beats Clark; he has to be the one that bests him, nobody else.
-
@Hacking360Tutorials because like Lex said, a villain is only as great as his hero, so basically, if he could get Clark to become the great hero he's supposed to be, he can be a great villain too.

clex is truly dead. it's sad the writers spent seven years giving clark's and lex's relationship something the comic books never managed to do in over forty years--emotional depth. clark really doesn't have an emotional connection to jimmy olsen and he barely mentions pete ross. how great it would have been if clark and lex managed to maintain their brotherhood even if lex was the adversary to clark's alter-ego. now that would have been a relationship pregnant with possibilities. sad end.

there was so much true emotion missing from this scene. if all there is in the live-action episodes is clark/superman and lex/supervillian fighting against one another endlessly, then it's just the comic book one-dimensional theme with real people acting out the panels. when we last saw lex he was cradling clark in his arms telling him that he loved him. if there's only animosity and no regret or feelings between clark and lex, then there's no human, emotional depth which is truly needed.

I don't know why, but at 2:30, I got chills and REALLY felt like Lex had become the Lex in the mythos. Truly evil. The way Michael said that line...oy.

i like how Lex said Clark cant save the world but we both know who can Lex giving Clark that push to go and save everyone as superman.

@Hacking360Tutorials You can't be a villain if there's no world for a hero to save.
I think this was my favorite part out of the whole two hours. These guys always had the best conversations. Lex's epiphany is he can never be Clark or even his equal, so he's decided to do the next best thing and be his worthy adversary. He's gonna become great by going the distance with the good guy. Oddly inevitable given how they've written him all these years. But then he showed that he's still human by encouraging Clark to save the world. Pure Lex!

This finale would not have been as great as it was had Lex not returned. There is no Superman mythology without Lex Luthor. They're perfect rivals for each other.
Lex perfectly summed up their future rivalry especially with: We have a destiny together, Clark, only on different sides. And so begins their life-long good vs. evil battle.
Thank goodness Michael Rosenbaum came back! I missed him so much! No one plays Lex better than he does!
Thanks GEM!
