Smallville

It's basically a MacGuffin of all MacGuffins that when all this shit happens, and actually the time this will maybe what happened, you throw the time bomb.

Clark Kent goes back to Smallville as a kid, right? Zod's alive again because it'll go back and none of this, and it'll go back to as we zip to Superman going up to grab that kryptonite meteor that will then be averted and nothing happens.

Yeah, it'll never have even

hit Earth.

than I am now, but I only care about my people.

And oh my God.

And then Lois would be like, can we have a Daily Planet in El Jardin? Also, you'll get rid of that Daily Planet in Smallville.

Uh-huh.

So they got Star Sapphire at some point.

But Lana Lang is working at this facility because it's in Smallville.

And it was built there because an artifact was found.

Nothing in it, but Kal-El's spaceship was found here.

And probably Gorilla Grodd.

Yeah.

all of these are getting experimented on in this facility outside of Smallville one thing we have not seen you said Zatanna was part of the Outsiders I don't think she was did

I say Zatanna? oh I meant not Zatanna maybe Katana Katana

now.

This is in Somerville, not Smallville.

Somerville, Texas.

So the spot where he's at, where it shows on the map here, that's probably right in the middle of Davy Crockett and Sant

But that was several years after baby Superman's rocket reached Earth.

Superboy was already growing up in Smallville.

That's why I'm younger than my cousin.

Now I'll go back to my diary.

He is searching for a place to fit in, a home on Earth, and every step of the way, he's kinda getting pushed away and, and rejected.

You know, we've, we've seen him over the course of these first 24 issues, like, okay, now he's got, he's got a place of his own in, in, in Smallville.

He's, he gets, gets to name Clark Kent.

He gets that new suit.

Sure.

He goes to a farm store, like an international, and he hacks into a computer and hacks into the internet to steal money from a farm store in Smallville, Kansas.

Yeah.

That's what they thought big budget superhero movies were.

And what's, what's the first thing that he does or that he, that he, that he has is that, oh, we're going to have, you know, all of these people show up in Superman between Guy Gardner or Hawkgirl, you know, all of these different people just kind of drop you into the middle of it, which that's, there's two minds of that, right? Is that for the individuals who get the lore, that's got to be heaven for people.

It's like, look, I don't need to see this shit where, you know, I don't know how many times I could see, you know, baby Kal-El slam into the cornfields of Smallville or, you know,

Martha again.

Like, I can't do it.

He comes to the Kents.

He grows up in Smallville.

Like, the lore just...

It can start out small, and then we learn more and more and more.

Jor-El, Krypton, Lara, the Kents.

And we go out a little more.

Smallville, um...

Where was Superman born? Kryptonopolis, maybe? I don't remember.

Yeah, you're crazy.

Season one and two are pretty fucking good.

It gets really fucking weird, like season three and beyond.

You know what I'll

project aries or sorry project interception again where yeah chloe's gonna go into the mind of her doppelganger

oliver i need to go into my own mind i need to see if there's a better life out there

Yeah, and she talks about how she was possessed by a witch, which was obviously Spell back in Season 4.

Great episode.

So I appreciate the effort, but I think ultimately I'm like, I just can't wait till he's forgotten all this is kind of my stance.

I want to get back to Clark being in Smallville doing Riverdale stuff.

It's because that's what Wade was excelling at.

Yeah, I mean, grounded feels like the wrong word, but I like the grounded elements of his Superboy arcs is what I was enjoying.
