(First piece of work on the site so apologies if it is of low quality)
Now I know we all like to bash Smallville here, even the fans like me. However since Smallville's final episode I have had to contain my need to laugh at a lot of people in the comments section because of what can only be described as ridiculous complaining. Here is how I see it.
The Suit (of course I had to start with the suit)
We Have had many views of the Suit throughout this season to 'hint' at what was obviously always going to happen. Currently we have a lot, and I mean a LOT, of people complaining about just having Superman in CGI and the fact you only see Clark wearing the classic \S/ after a shirt rip but let me bring you back to before the finale aired. How many of you said "we will only see a shirt rip and that will be it" or "we will only see a blur flying in the sky why do people think otherwise"?. Now we got the shirt rip that you all expected, we got the blur flying in the sky...but we also go some CGI shots of Superman in action, Superman actually doing something. Thats a hell of a lot more than anyone expected.
The point I make is sure, we didn't get a full body shot of Tom in the suit but hey! we got a hell of a lot more than we thought to begin with.
The name 'Superman'
This one is real quick...Chloe(damned stupid Chloe...god I hate her)says "And that is how the boy became Superman". Boom! Superman! perfect? No. In the Finale? Yes.
Lex's send off
I hear some complaints that Lex did not get enough screen time, his bald cap looked ridiculous and the mind wipe was a cop out, now whilst I agree with the mind wipe being a cop out (I think it would have been an intresting dynamic if Lex new Clark Kent was Superman, but he only wanted to harm Superman because Clark Kent would not satisfy his ego) I disagree on the others.
Michael Rosenbaum was only on set for a day that we all knew prior, we also all knew prior to the episode the he would be wearing a bald cap. So why did you expect his head to look the same as previous seasons and for him to have a lot of air time? The old bald cap did look bad in picture I will admit but in action I barely even noticed it and Lex was only there to set up their rivalry in the future and as a nod to his part in the show to the fans, he was never an important part of the episode.
I think I have covered everything I wanted to cover. For the show this I feel was a great Final episode, and whilst everyone is entitled to their opinion, most of you need yo really stop complaining about what you said would happen to begin with.
