Damn, that little girl's mother was fucking badass. She saw this giant monster which had torn up the city holdng her kid, and tried to save her daughter anyway. Sure, it didn't exactly work out, but that's an awesome mother!
To be fair the movies often put down parental instincts so that superheroes can have their moment rather than being realistic about it. I mean think about it, fathers and mothers go through life spending most of it in miserable jobs to give their children a future better than their own. By comparison risking their lives for their children doesn't seem like much of an ask.
and people online on reddit argue Clark was the most powerful of the Supermen ever. Guy got one shot by Zod, barely fights Doomsday, folds everytime there's Kryptonite. Meanwhile Tyler's version came back from the dead, shattered green K bullet screws with his bare hands and flew Doomsday into the freaking sun. Oh and he punched apart two Earth's trying to merge.
It was supposed to be short. Clark wasn’t even Superman yet and Superman is supposed to fight Doomsday. If it was longer, Clark would have died before he put on the cape.
For those of you complaining about this fight: 1. At this point Smallville was on a much smaller network. The CW had alot smaller budget. But they made it work. Now they have a much larger budget but no more Smallville. 2. The whole point of this fight was to line this up with the original Death of Superman storyline. Doomsday is found in the first book in the death of Superman to be buried miles underground locked up and wrapped in cables. Smallville played off of that. 3, There is no way that Clark Kent at the time could have gone toe to toe with Doomsday for more then a few minutes. Although he was inching towards Superman level powers - there was still a big gap. Remember at the end of Smallville - he pushed a planet. 4. Doomsday was trapped at the end of the series, not killed. Which falls in line with how you fight Doomsday. Nobody survives a slug fest with Doomsday for long. He can rag doll Darkseid. The only way to kill Doomsday is to send him forward into the future to the end of time - entropy. Otherwise Doomsday will eventually come back stronger and more evolved. Last Doomsday before the New52 reboot could fly, absorb the powers of his enemies, had heat vision and his bone spurs changed to an adamnatium like metal - it couldn't be destroyed.
Doomsday couldn't fly, just super jump. The fact that he can absorb and replicate the powers of his enemies was added after Doomsday's first confrontation with Superman... which is also dumb, but that's just my opinion. And according to DC Wiki, he doesn't have Heat Vision. He does have Bone Spurs, however. While this makes sense for story purposes, it still doesn't change the fact they put almost no effort into this fight what so ever, and that is where the complaints come from.
1. Smallville was on the same network since the WB became the CW, but yeah it was on a smaller budget than it was in the first 4-5 seasons. 2. In the comics Doomsday wasn't buried under the Earth not because Superman put him there but because the coffin-like vessel that brought him to Earth crashed and got buried miles underground. I have more to say about this below. 3. I have to agree, but that being the case I think it was a stupid idea to bother having Doomsday on the show. 4. Yeah whatever kills him kills him only temporarily and he comes back immune to everything that had once killed him so eventually he will be unstoppable. So with everything mentioned, I think it was very stupid for them to have brought Doomsday on the show to begin with. What they did with having him be merged with Zod's son was just dumb and had no payoff. The main thing people want to see when Doomsday is around is a lot of destruction and a nice fight but if the budget didn't allow for those plus if Clark did not have the endurance to last a decent fight with him, then what was the purpose? What was the payoff for ruining the season plot with a character whose potential was never going to be possible on this show and wasting all that time with Davis while making Chloe even less likable (I outright despised her) and killing off Jimmy Olsen with what was the most lame bullshit excuse I've ever seen in a show. Not to mention as a result of the plot they chose for season 8, they also continued the horrible retconning of the show's mythos that ruined season 7 with what they showed in Eternal & its retconned take of the events shown back in Season 2's Lineage. This show has always done human villains better than they ever did alien villains. Lionel, Lex (when properly used), Morgan Edge, Sam Phelan (from Rogue), Sacks (from Idol) and some others were some of the best villains on the show. The only alien villains I thought they did well were Brainiac and perhaps Zod in season 9, though I thought they could have done a better job with Zod. And probably one of the reasons why I thought they did a decent job with Zod in season 9 was because he was powerless for the majority of the time. The only thing I liked about the Doomsday on Smallville was the look but I just don't think it was worth having him as a villain considering how much damage it caused. The Doomsday being buried in the Earth aspect could and should have been ignored on this show if they were going to end up handling it the way they did. Instead I think it could have been much smarter if they brought Morgan Edge back in season 8 or season 10 instead of the stupid plots they ended up doing with Doomsday & Darkseid who did not have any payoff. Having Darkseid possessing Lionel was just pathetic in my opinion. Morgan Edge returning with memories of Clark's face but perhaps not his name and forming Intergang and getting weapons from operatives from Apokolips would have been an awesome plot for one of those seasons. It would have been perfect for the mainly Metropolis setting of the show by that time, plus it would have been a great way to develop Clark as a reporter which the show failed to do (they never showed why he deserves his future job at the Daily Planet). I think that plot would have been great for season 8 while season 10 could have instead focused on a Crisis-like plot between the 2 Earths along with introducing the Eradicator, perhaps Hank Henshaw (who could have been explained to have been seriously injured as an astronaut by the nuke explosion in Hidden when Clark diffused the ICBM), and a few other loose ends. It bothered me to no end how it was obvious they were trying to fill the season with garbage episodes until the series finale during the final season with the horrible filler crap we got in episodes like Fortune, that episode where Lois got Clark's powers, the Kara episodes, Harvest, and a bunch of others. I loved the Earth-2/Earth-3 episodes and I liked what they did with bringing back Cadmus Labs and all those Lex clones, but that final season should have been so much better.. The Darkseid plot was just badly done imo. I also thought Chloe was kept around for way too long. By season 7 (certainly by season 8), Lois should have been in every episode and Clark should have been shown solving/figuring out his own problems. And they really wasted Michael Rosenbaum's time on the show with the stupid crap they involved him with in seasons 6 & 7. He is my favorite live action Lex and they could have done so much with him.
That punch doomsday did to Clark Kent was just like the comics. I felt that, they did doomsday perfect for smallville. That whole season that lead to the doomsday fight was tense.
@@AKFOOTBALL7 that was a kidding thing bro but yeah I could've could have guessed that tbh tbh but I don't care about the woke shit tbh tbh tbh tbh I just don't watch you or the walking dead the ones who live or something and you won't get woke shit it's as simple as that's period point blank period it's as easy as that period point blank period
This was the dumb stuff typical back then. Takes his time comforting the child knowing full well the terrifying super monster is walking up behind him...
@lukea136 Yeah your probably. But one thing about people is that they operate diversely. Numerous occasions throughout history have demonstrated that human beings aren't strictly beholden to the survival instinct. At least from my POV, of course.
One of the older comics had Martha Kent explain it as superman generating a sort of biofield over his entire body that protected his clothes while he was wearing them.🤔
@@salguodrolyat2594 good attempt to justify the plot hole... i still think if superman is punched so hard that blood flies out of his mouth, any 'biofield' is penetrated...
No Name true but Davis bloome/doomsday is the Judas in Superman way remember Christ Jesus is like clark Kent and doomsday is the betrayer like in the Bible itself cool huh peace.
@@kodesh1674 kryptonite isn't the only thing that can hurt him, it just makes it a lot easier. Also, this was when super man was starting to get use to have his powers.
@@kodesh1674 Bruh Doomsday is pretty much the Superman killer, lol. He can fuck up Superman on so many levels. Every time he dies, he just comes back stronger and more immune to whatever the last thing was that killed him. He has the exact same (or possibly more) speed and strength as Supes.
I think THAT is what most people can agree on even if the final fight was an embarrassing failure! Honestly, this was more Doomsday's origin story than an actual match between Clark and Doomsday.
@@Gtboy_Editz Its really not accurate. At all. Shoulder spikes: Wrong Spikes on his back: Non Existent. Spikes on his Elbows: Non existent Spikes on his knees: Non existent Eyes: They should be red. and glowing. Teeth: He should have them, not lip claws Hair: Where is it? Containment suit: Where was it? Actual abilities: Where were they? Smallville did exactly what every other superman series did, they Pussified Doomsday to make him look impermanent. In the comic books Doomsday got so strong that superman literally had to take Doomsday to the end of time because by that point he adapted to absolutely everything and was impossible for superman to kill. In smallville all doomsday is, is a fungal infection. 😞 The 100% Nailed it best doomsday out there goes to Krypton because they didnt Pussifiy what Doomsday is. Doomsday is to put it plain and simply a fire and forget weapon. He doesn't feel, He doesn't think, He cant be reasoned with, He only knows 2 things and thats Agony and Hatred. Because of that he is Destruction in its simplest form.
I think for what they could afford and the story they were telling, this fight was pretty good. It's not meant to be the Superman vs Doomsday fight from Superman 75 and with Smallville I was always more invested in the drama of putting two people with different viewpoints together and have them argue it out. Stuff like Lionel Luthor vs Jonathan Kent or Clark and Lex or having red-kryptonite Clark rip into everyone around him.
I know the fight was a short and disappointing fight but there is only so much they can do on a television series budget. Remember also that their budget was reduced in season 8 as they thought it was going to be the last season.
the budget was reduced because they wanted more money in their pockets. The only reason for budget cutbacks is previous budget cutbacks or jews like Tom Welling.
Sleviron No you fucking Jew hating moron. Smallville switched to a much Smaller network with a much smaller budget at the time. Less money in the budget, they still made it work..
Buffy and Angel managed to have epic monster fights. I feel the problem was that the Smallville crew always though bigger was better and tried to strive for that. What they should have done was went smaller and more. The fight with Titan was great(still short mind you) because they focused up and let the sound effects and set do some of the talking.Basically they didn't need to go Man of Steel on the show. They just needed to lie to us and say it was a superhuman punch.
I know the fight was short, but to me, this will always be the best live action doomsday, and he's very accurate to the look of doomsday and the visual effects are just spot on.
@DanielBunnell545 also to i didn't like they did the fight scene in daytime cause you can clearly tell all the cgi, but smallvilles doomsday was an actual monster suit which was really nice to see
@@kentproductions9506 I disagree that you could tell it was cgi. Definitely wasn’t bad cgi. Smallville looked and acted nothing like doomsday and that was way too early for him to see doomsday. He was not even Superman yet
@DanielBunnell545 we'll smallville was the first to ever do a live action doomsday, and I'm very grateful it happened the monster is practical. You can go behind the episode and watch how they did it, and doomsday is just a raging monster. Really, no acting there, lol, but yet again, they we're going by the original idea, but there are versions of doomsday we're they are not raging monsters, so yeah, and yeah i know he wasn't superman yet but it was still amazing to see for the first time and that's the one thing superman and Lois would never beat is its first time showing regardless you like it or not smallville will always be one of it's kind showes and best casting for lex and Lois and clark
Agree. Couldn't help but compare this to the Titan fight, mainly because Clark made countless references to that fight after it happened. "I haven;t felt something like that since I went up against Titan", "I wanted to kill him" (referring to Titan). This fight was not that stand-offish. IMO, a standoff can be the most epic part of a fight. Two fighters staring each other down, breathing heavily, aww inspiring pauses, slow mo's, etc. Sometimes the simplest things like that make a fight.
I hated how short this was too, but it makes sense. In the comic, Superman is in his early to mid-thirties when he and Doomsday killed each other. In this season Clark is in his early twenties and doesn't have the power yet to stand toe to toe with Doomsday
THAT WAS IT?,THAT WAS THE BATTLE THAT THEY'VE BEEN HYPING UP FOR AN ENTIRE SEASON?,SMALLVILLE IS GREAT,BUT SERIOUSLY,ALL WE GOT WAS DOOMSDAY SLAPPING CLARK,AND WHAT DID CLARK,HE PUSHED HIM,AND THEIR WAS AN EXPLOSION,THE BATTLE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE PUNCHING,BLAST,BUILDING'S FALLING AND EXPLOSIONS,YOU GOT THE EXPLOSION RIGHT,BUT REST?, NOOOOO, ALL WE GOT WHAT AN EXPLOSION
Clark is Superman! Superman is Clark! This “explanation” still used all the way to now is so damn stale. It was essentially Tom’s reasoning as to why he didn’t suit up himself on camera when it’s really all about how he never wanted to or was never comfortable with suiting up. It’s 2024, it’s either time for Tom to just completely fess up to the truth or just let it go. Fans got to let it go too and accept the truth instead of their dumb little “iT wAs aBouT cLaRk noT suPeRmAn” excuse. Superman is just another name Clark Kent goes by just as much as Kal-El and the Blur. All the same character, geniuses.
@@hordakalphatwo things can be right. Tom thought his career was still ahead of him and did not want to get type casted as another Superman. Unfortunately, that is most likely his biggest regret since he still is very involved with smallville till this day. But also, this show wanted us to see that Clark Kent is Superman with or without the suit. Superman is who he is by the trials and journey of Clark Kent.
Giving birth to Domesday must have been very uncomfortable for his poor mother. If she had given him a different name, like Happyday, he might have grown up with a much more pleasant disposition.
This is the most comic book accurate Doomsday that we've had Makeup, prosthetics and apropriate lighting look much better that even today's CGI (take a look at Superman and Lois).
Which hints at a couple of things. In Crisis, this clark kent is seen to voluntarily give up his powers, after seemingly a decade of fighting lex and his project goons. Saving the world. I'm guessing some blue kyrptonite because he would eventually need to take the powers back to stop Doomsday, and meet his fate.
@@MattCollectorControlHe doesnt get killed by Doomsday in EVERY universe, just most of them. New 52 Superman didnt die by Doomsday for example,Pre Crisis OBVIOUSLY didnt even meet Doomsday(good luck killing that guy) and Reeves Superman also didnt die
@@MattCollectorControl None of the stuff that happened post-season 10 other than the season 11 comics are canon regarding Smallville. Everything seen in that garbage crossover thing contradicts what Smallville set up. Why would Clark deny his destiny after what he ultimately learned in season 10 (how only he could face Darkseid) and what the Legion told him about his importance & fame in the 31st century? What they did in that crossover was like season 5 Clark except with a family. It also goes against any lesson he would have learned from Dax-Ur's demise in season 7. How would he always be there to stop Lex as he told him in that scene in the Finale by just living on the farm with a family and not being Superman or even a reporter? Anything that didn't involve the show's producer's and/or creators at the time can't be considered canon since the CW network at the time of the crossover only cared about the new shows and couldn't give a rat's ass about retconning & cannibalizing Smallville to make their then-current shows look better. It's just drama at the expense of Smallville's actual canon and is very disrespectful and insulting when you look at the full picture. The moron Andrew Dabb who started making the decisions around seasons 7-8 in Supernatural did the same thing when he did retcons of various characters in that series. He could care less about the canon so long as he made drama worthy scenes in the era when he was running the show. It was a middle finger to continuity and long time fans of the series who had watched it from the start like myself hated it. A great example being the retconning of Gabriel in season 13 (which was beyond stupid in the way it was done). They could've brought him back in a way that actually didn't retcon continuity but they didn't.
@@newhybrid101 Doomsday didn't even exist until 1992, after the Crisis and the Reeve films so it wouldn't have been possible but I get what you mean. Actually I'm thinking by pre-Crisis Superman, you mean Kal-L as in the pre-Crisis Superman when he returns and is made his own seperate character in Infinite Crisis.
Imho there was no reason for Clark not to be Superman at this point. This is Doomsday! The monster known to kill Superman! This should’ve been the debut of Superman. Even if he was still unable (mentally) to fly.
They spent all season building up to it, and the actual fight was barely a minute long. How did Clark manage to leap with Doomsday into exactly the right spot, since he couldn't fly at that point? If Clark made it out, why didn't Doomsday? Obviously Doomsday isn't dead, why hasn't he clawed his way out? Such a poor ending.
considering the time it was made, the budget and how season 8 was average (no Lionel, no Lex) this looks great. I wish the fight was like a little bit longer. Still, awesome show still worth watching, especially if you are DC fan :)
Kazuya first of all it would cause a chained reaction of air heating up and exploding secondly he would grab a piece of the person and by applying that force to that piece he would indeed tear them all apart, thankfully this all doesnt happen because superman has physic protection thing that kind of pulls things together like gravity, to that point he applies the pressure, therefore things do not fall apart and air doesnt explode because the air moves with him kinda!
Superman has a telekinetic force field around his body that extends to others when he's holding them, this is why they don't explode or die from this stuff...
One thing I liked about this fight, is that Clark used something that Johnathan taught him in earlier seasons. "... they might have your strength, but they don't have your other powers.." Clark ends up using his superspeed to tackle/bury Doomsday, because he knows he cannot go toe to toe with Doomsday.
Anybody remember the Fight clark had vs Titan aka WWE Kane??....that fight was 10x better than this so spare me the "This is just a tv show they only have so much on the budget" they could've pulled this off much better
Say what you like about the fight this is still by far the best looking incarnation of Doomday we've ever had. If they'd used this guy for that movie it would've been amazing.
This was probably the only time during Smallville where Clark actually looks like Superman when he flew doomsday up and crashed! him into the ground with the red&blue blur imagery.
If these looks replaced the other ones looks but the other one maintained its size you mean right? Cause these looks are on point but you'd think it's just a man in a suit cause of the size
@@Shaiorafit0Yeah, precisely that. Though to be fair the actor wearing the Doomsday outfit here is a man named Dario Delacio a stunt actor who is a fairly huge guy at 6'8. I'm not entirely sure how you could make him taller while wearing an actual costume like that unless you're going CGI.
Just a question. Im thinking abt watching the whole series from season until the end. But i just wanna know if clark ever wore the superman suit in this series? bec i remeber back when i was a kid and my aunt would watch this evryday,it didnt even cross my mind that smallville was abt superman
That was soooo shoooort... For a ultimate weapon, created by Kripton's Hitler this Doomsday is too slow and peacefull. When I watched 8 season, I though that will be a battle for at least two episodes, with massive destruction, Chuck Norris's "You call that a hit" moments and way more deaths, mostly because of Sam Witwer's play. That guy made Hulkstyle uncontrolable transformations, monster's bloodlust and whole Doomsday story looks more dangerous, terrifying and scarier. My opinion is, Doomsday is better stay in human form until the end. And that black kryptonite. What was that for? Why so need to split human and monster when both of them is going to die in the end? Davis Bloome's final death and Doomsday's defeat was most awkward moments in whole season. And they really have left everything as it is? Doomsday can't die, one day he will find a way out of there, but Clark, Oliver, Chloe and others behave as if it all ended when they know about Doomsday's adaptation to all that kills him. P.S. Sorry for tons of hatred under the video and for bad english
Honestly, for the buildup they gave and how dangerous Doomsday seemed before, this was a disappointing fight to be sure, but I wouldn't write off the whole season, especially the Davis Bloom stuff. Really think about it, what sounds like a more interesting story to you; Analysing the nature of a beast and the human shell around it who is in constant internal struggle and denial over what he is, and with a compulsion to kill which he directs at what he perceives to be evil in the world in an attempt to convince himself that he's a good man, eventually culminating in the surrender of his own psyche to the monster inside, while everyone tries to debate whether it is his nature or nurture that made him what he is, only for the answer to be neither of those, that it was his choice that made him monstrous… …or just a big hulking mindless brute that by definition has no personality and exists purely as a plot device to kill Superman.
Spike Prime Basically, all my complaints were about the last battle of Season 8. Doomsday - a symbol of that Superman can be defeated by physical strength. In their first meeting, they fought a few days, until both fell. As you know, many enemies of Superman were "humanized" too much in the series(Lex Luthor, Bizzarro, Metallo). I think Clark really needed the enemy, who would be "a big hulking mindless brute that by definition has no personality and exists purely as a plot device to kill entire life in Universe, including Superman". This Doomsday is good one because he combines the unstoppable mindless brute and a human with a firm intention to remain human. Character turned out quite interesting and could well be worthy of his name, if the last series has been completely revised and if the creators remembered that Doomsday - kryptonian and should have the same abilities as Clark. My opinion - Davis Bloom handled the role good, but Doomsday disappointed, so I think it would be better for him to stay in human form until the end of the season
Глеб Каменский I definitely see where you're coming from, I was very disappointed in this fight too. I like some of the fights in Smallville, like Clark vs Titan was a pretty good battle there, a scaled-up version of that, maybe lasting longer than this with more collateral damage (though obviously not to the scale Man of Steel did) would've been more satisfying. Though I get what the end of the fight was going for--remember Doomsday's first appearance in the comics, rising out of the ground? I think it was meant to imply that that's gonna happen again in this continuity when Clark is Superman, and he put him there. Well Doomsday, in the comics, didn't gain the abilities from the sun like Clark did, nor did he have the same power set, and he was created before there was natural life on Krypton, so I think they were trying to stay at least a little true to that while adding some depth too, as well as linking it to Zod rather than some random alien scientist. Plus I suppose you could make the argument that either he doesn't have the brain to use the same abilities, since he's mindless, or that messing with the genes made him physically stronger but also lacking certain abilities. In the end though, we can only judge on what we got, which I feel was a lot of great build-up to a crappy final battle. I think the last Davis Bloom scene almost makes up for it (somewhat) being a great twist, as well as clearly demonstrating that it is choice, and not than either nature or nurture, that makes a person who and what they are.
Damn, guys just… damn. This season went really strong up until this point. I mean, the fight with friggin' TITAN felt like a bigger and better climax than this crap, and he was only established for one episode! They had all this interesting stuff about the duality of Davis Bloom's character and this internal struggle… and then they have a, what, two minute barely-any-punches fight at the end? What a damned let down.
I really liked season 8 a lot until Lana showed up and really screwed things up with Clark's progression and gave us some of the worst episodes of the series (I especially hate the episode Power). And then they started getting back on the right track to an extent, though I hated the Chloe-Davis scenes and whatever they were doing with those characters. Then this episode happened and I remember watching it the night it aired. I thought the thing that would piss me off the most was the lack of a decent fight, which of course turned out to be the case with how short it was. But no, the thing that truly pissed me off was what they did to Jimmy's character. That was the lowest, lamest, most pathetic and most disgusting thing I have ever seen on this show and I still remember how many people were disgusted in the Kryptonsite forums. They were smart to hardly mention it in season 9, though in some ways I thought it was even more of an insult to the memory of Jimmy's character. Despite all the disgusting crap they put Jimmy through in season 8 like having him addicted to drugs and putting him through a failed marriage, fans liked him so much more because of episodes like Identity and Stiletto where they showed his interaction with Clark & Lois. It was awesome to see the big 3 of the Daily Planet helping one another out and I really wanted more of that. But yeah, this episode was just bad in pretty much every way---how they killed Jimmy off, the lack of any payoff of having Davis/Doomsday as the main villain, the way the other heroes completely screwed over Clark, the way they retconned the orb to being something completely different than what it was in season 7......
its like 80% learning his powers and growing up during seasons 1-3. Seasons 8-10 is focused on villains and superheros like 70% of the time. If I remember correctly, seasons 1-6 are set in smallvile, and 7-10 in metropolis. during the early years its basically a show for teenage girls...during the late years its almost a show for teenage boys. lol /bump :p
Even though this was a huge letdown I do understand that they didn't have the budget to do what they wanted and did the best they could. I just wish the fight was longer and Clark doesn't even throw any punches. I would have liked to see Clark actually beat up Doomsday.
It's all the superman stans that made it out like he is invincible when he almost dies several times, gets beatten even more and overinflate his feats.
I remember they built this up so much and I was so hyped looking forward to see Clark and Doomsday tango for at least 5 minutes and they made it crap. The kids actors were cheesy as heck too.
This scene from Smallvile Season 08 Episode 22-Doomsday (2008,2009) ended very badly with Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman and Davis Bloome/Doomsday dies simultaneously/same time instantly in Metropolis, U.S.A. (fictional city, non-existence) basically Smallvile Season 01-10 (2001-2011), Arrow Season 01-present (2011-present), The Flash Season 01-present (2014-present), Supergirl Season 01-present (2015-present), & DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Season 01-present (2015-present) are filmed/shot in some parts of Canada and not California (usually films/tv are filmed there every year). Tom Welling and Sam Witwer had the best performances in this season 8 years back but the characters are still legendary today-future peace, love, respect, and God bless my friends.😀👍👌
I always like it when comic book adaptations are done as realistically as possible, so that they come off as plausible, even if they're not, in order to aid in the ability to lose oneself in fantasy, and aid in the wonderful wish fulfilment escape of playing superhero. I've said before that defining Kryptonians as having to make a somewhat significant effort to take one or two seconds to change their view of time via their perception, regarding their super speed, so that they can access this ability, and having to put in some mild effort to remain focused in this time perception to still keep using this ability, would enable that power to make more sense, as it would explain why they don't use it all the time while in battle. Regarding the former detail, it would be cool to have a scene or two, showcasing them accessing their speed abilities by putting in the effort to make their perception of time alter. This would help explain why Clark doesn't use his super speed all the time when in battle, regarding numerous fights. However, it doesn't explain why Clark doesn't stay in the super speed setting when fighting. I propose a solution - Clark has to put in mild effort to enter the super speed setting, but for when Clark makes long, continual runs in super speed, he has to triple down on the effort needed to stay in super speed. The effort required is mildly intense, and this is why he's not able to use this elongated super speed focus while fighting, as he has to focus on battling too. In Superman adaptations, since super speed is only used very frequently in Smallville and Superman & Lois, only Smallville needs to use this logic regarding super speed settings (the super speed inconsistencies have never happened in Superman & Lois). However, all adaptations of Superman can use this if they'd like.
It was a good conception of Davis/ Doomsday in Smallville version, but they can do a better version in a film, to tell all Superman story in couple of movies, meaning origins of kryptonian villains (General Zod,Doomsday,Eradicator), Lex Luthor's origin and how Krypton explodeed. How other villains are born, but again, in a Smallville version a little different then rest of the show.
I remember being really disappointed with this finale. I liked the whole season, and was looking forward to seeing this fight, only for it to last less than a minute. I always knew this show didn't have a huge budget, but I wish they could've at least stretched this fight out a couple more minutes. At least have Clark throw a few punches. This is still one of my favorite superhero shows, but I'll admit that some of the fights were lackluster. Most of the time it seemed like they were afraid to have Clark actually punch people.
@Kal-El of Earth-167 Aye that's pretty much why so many episodes had to nerf him with Kryptonite. This is a drama series you can't really have Clark go all out. Hell a recurring and hilarious plot line in this series is that Clark was afraid to "have physical relations" with a girl because he might.. cause harm. The show kinda yadayada how he gets around this but there's an episode where Lana gets his powers... they get busy and cause a swarm of earthquakes.
@Kal-El of Earth-167 Completely agreed. I think Smallvilles Clark Kent is not only the strongest live action version but also one of the more intelligent ones as well as he often used his powers in really creative ways and also outwitted formidable opponents like Zod (no less than 3 times, mind you) . I also think his co-ordination with his team mates like Oliver and Chloe were spot on. However his biggest restriction was simply the fact this was a Clark Kent who had to protect his secret so he couldn't have these epic movie fights that destroy metropolis and the like but I think given how well it's done Smallville Clark is best clark.
Considering their budget I thought doomsday looked great and even looked better than batman vs supermans doomsday the only thing off was his size but hey back then cgi wasn't exactly amazing with that budget all in all its great
It seems to me that they could find some very huge guy, give him this makeup and it would be more impressive. This way they could have added more hand-to-hand scenes, with minimal special effects.
Lol how? This has nothing on that version. Maybe the placement of the bones but that's it. You can tell these are practical effects for TV and it hasn't ages that well. I'm not saying this is bad but it's not that great.
Enjoyed the show, however, was always frustrated when the adult Man of Steel storylines were introduced to Smallville Clark who was learning how to become Supes battlin’ against the Superman villains as an unknown, “Red-Blue Blur.”😆
Damn, that little girl's mother was fucking badass. She saw this giant monster which had torn up the city holdng her kid, and tried to save her daughter anyway. Sure, it didn't exactly work out, but that's an awesome mother!
To be fair the movies often put down parental instincts so that superheroes can have their moment rather than being realistic about it.
I mean think about it, fathers and mothers go through life spending most of it in miserable jobs to give their children a future better than their own.
By comparison risking their lives for their children doesn't seem like much of an ask.
Thats one brave mother
0:51 i don't know those two old people are just walking right at doomsday not giving a fuck, that seems pretty badass to me
@@jimjaspers3050 a pitbull might as well be an ant when compared to doomsday not really on the same danger level
Risking your life to THIS thing though. I believe you'd die of fear.
It's sad to admit this, but the car catch was the highlight of this "fight."
It wasn't even a bad fight tbh.
and people online on reddit argue Clark was the most powerful of the Supermen ever. Guy got one shot by Zod, barely fights Doomsday, folds everytime there's Kryptonite.
Meanwhile Tyler's version came back from the dead, shattered green K bullet screws with his bare hands and flew Doomsday into the freaking sun. Oh and he punched apart two Earth's trying to merge.
We can all agree that this fight was criminally short
Superman and Lois season 3 finale made up for that big time
Yes and how he beat doomsday wasn't even reputable
@@jacobwest7 I Agree - Higher Budget and better technology defiantly helped.
It was supposed to be short. Clark wasn’t even Superman yet and Superman is supposed to fight Doomsday. If it was longer, Clark would have died before he put on the cape.
@@TZER0it was also short because it t had a CW budget
For those of you complaining about this fight:
1. At this point Smallville was on a much smaller network. The CW had alot smaller budget. But they made it work. Now they have a much larger budget but no more Smallville.
2. The whole point of this fight was to line this up with the original Death of Superman storyline. Doomsday is found in the first book in the death of Superman to be buried miles underground locked up and wrapped in cables. Smallville played off of that.
3, There is no way that Clark Kent at the time could have gone toe to toe with Doomsday for more then a few minutes. Although he was inching towards Superman level powers - there was still a big gap. Remember at the end of Smallville - he pushed a planet.
4. Doomsday was trapped at the end of the series, not killed. Which falls in line with how you fight Doomsday. Nobody survives a slug fest with Doomsday for long. He can rag doll Darkseid. The only way to kill Doomsday is to send him forward into the future to the end of time - entropy. Otherwise Doomsday will eventually come back stronger and more evolved.
Last Doomsday before the New52 reboot could fly, absorb the powers of his enemies, had heat vision and his bone spurs changed to an adamnatium like metal - it couldn't be destroyed.
lairdriver Thank you so much!! I really needed to know that! Now it makes sense :)
Dam
+lairdriver That makes a lot of sense, thanks for commenting!
Doomsday couldn't fly, just super jump. The fact that he can absorb and replicate the powers of his enemies was added after Doomsday's first confrontation with Superman... which is also dumb, but that's just my opinion. And according to DC Wiki, he doesn't have Heat Vision. He does have Bone Spurs, however.
While this makes sense for story purposes, it still doesn't change the fact they put almost no effort into this fight what so ever, and that is where the complaints come from.
1. Smallville was on the same network since the WB became the CW, but yeah it was on a smaller budget than it was in the first 4-5 seasons.
2. In the comics Doomsday wasn't buried under the Earth not because Superman put him there but because the coffin-like vessel that brought him to Earth crashed and got buried miles underground. I have more to say about this below.
3. I have to agree, but that being the case I think it was a stupid idea to bother having Doomsday on the show.
4. Yeah whatever kills him kills him only temporarily and he comes back immune to everything that had once killed him so eventually he will be unstoppable.
So with everything mentioned, I think it was very stupid for them to have brought Doomsday on the show to begin with. What they did with having him be merged with Zod's son was just dumb and had no payoff. The main thing people want to see when Doomsday is around is a lot of destruction and a nice fight but if the budget didn't allow for those plus if Clark did not have the endurance to last a decent fight with him, then what was the purpose? What was the payoff for ruining the season plot with a character whose potential was never going to be possible on this show and wasting all that time with Davis while making Chloe even less likable (I outright despised her) and killing off Jimmy Olsen with what was the most lame bullshit excuse I've ever seen in a show. Not to mention as a result of the plot they chose for season 8, they also continued the horrible retconning of the show's mythos that ruined season 7 with what they showed in Eternal & its retconned take of the events shown back in Season 2's Lineage.
This show has always done human villains better than they ever did alien villains. Lionel, Lex (when properly used), Morgan Edge, Sam Phelan (from Rogue), Sacks (from Idol) and some others were some of the best villains on the show. The only alien villains I thought they did well were Brainiac and perhaps Zod in season 9, though I thought they could have done a better job with Zod. And probably one of the reasons why I thought they did a decent job with Zod in season 9 was because he was powerless for the majority of the time. The only thing I liked about the Doomsday on Smallville was the look but I just don't think it was worth having him as a villain considering how much damage it caused. The Doomsday being buried in the Earth aspect could and should have been ignored on this show if they were going to end up handling it the way they did.
Instead I think it could have been much smarter if they brought Morgan Edge back in season 8 or season 10 instead of the stupid plots they ended up doing with Doomsday & Darkseid who did not have any payoff. Having Darkseid possessing Lionel was just pathetic in my opinion. Morgan Edge returning with memories of Clark's face but perhaps not his name and forming Intergang and getting weapons from operatives from Apokolips would have been an awesome plot for one of those seasons. It would have been perfect for the mainly Metropolis setting of the show by that time, plus it would have been a great way to develop Clark as a reporter which the show failed to do (they never showed why he deserves his future job at the Daily Planet). I think that plot would have been great for season 8 while season 10 could have instead focused on a Crisis-like plot between the 2 Earths along with introducing the Eradicator, perhaps Hank Henshaw (who could have been explained to have been seriously injured as an astronaut by the nuke explosion in Hidden when Clark diffused the ICBM), and a few other loose ends. It bothered me to no end how it was obvious they were trying to fill the season with garbage episodes until the series finale during the final season with the horrible filler crap we got in episodes like Fortune, that episode where Lois got Clark's powers, the Kara episodes, Harvest, and a bunch of others. I loved the Earth-2/Earth-3 episodes and I liked what they did with bringing back Cadmus Labs and all those Lex clones, but that final season should have been so much better.. The Darkseid plot was just badly done imo.
I also thought Chloe was kept around for way too long. By season 7 (certainly by season 8), Lois should have been in every episode and Clark should have been shown solving/figuring out his own problems. And they really wasted Michael Rosenbaum's time on the show with the stupid crap they involved him with in seasons 6 & 7. He is my favorite live action Lex and they could have done so much with him.
That punch doomsday did to Clark Kent was just like the comics. I felt that, they did doomsday perfect for smallville. That whole season that lead to the doomsday fight was tense.
We waited all season to see a fight but Doomsday didn't receive a single hit.
At least Smallville was something we could actually enjoy watching!!!

Smallville did exactly what every other superman series did, they Pussified Doomsday to make him look impermanent. In the comic books Doomsday got so strong that superman literally had to take Doomsday to the end of time because by that point he adapted to absolutely everything and was impossible for superman to kill. In smallville all doomsday is, is a fungal infection. 😞
The 100% Nailed it best doomsday out there goes to Krypton because they didnt Pussifiy what Doomsday is.
Doomsday is to put it plain and simply a fire and forget weapon. He doesn't feel, He doesn't think, He cant be reasoned with, He only knows 2 things and thats Agony and Hatred. Because of that he is Destruction in its simplest form.
The Superman and Lois show really did this justice
Yea CGI in S&L is so bad, like bad game level
@@IamUzyfworse than bad game. I’d say sharknado bad. Bad game from 30 years ago, maybe.
This show is 15 year ago bro wat do u expect
Smallville's fights were always short (besides the Titan fight) but this still had some intensity about it. Doomsday looked awesome.
Smallville has always taken the Superhero extreme battles as a sub plot the the heavy driven story of character developments.
I love Clark’s casual jog though Ik he is moving at the speed of light
John Smith He's like, "If Bart can do it, I can do it too."
He wasnt quite light speed yet
@@newhybrid101fr
I think for what they could afford and the story they were telling, this fight was pretty good. It's not meant to be the Superman vs Doomsday fight from Superman 75 and with Smallville I was always more invested in the drama of putting two people with different viewpoints together and have them argue it out. Stuff like Lionel Luthor vs Jonathan Kent or Clark and Lex or having red-kryptonite Clark rip into everyone around him.
I know the fight was a short and disappointing fight but there is only so much they can do on a television series budget. Remember also that their budget was reduced in season 8 as they thought it was going to be the last season.
the budget was reduced because they wanted more money in their pockets. The only reason for budget cutbacks is previous budget cutbacks or jews like Tom Welling.
Yea because it's all a conspiracy, everything is a conspiracy.
Sleviron No you fucking Jew hating moron. Smallville switched to a much Smaller network with a much smaller budget at the time. Less money in the budget, they still made it work..
@Mark Guerrero dude u should work with them back then ? to see the environment ? deadlines to meet or limited technologies and software they had ?
@@Sleviron chill out with anti-Semitism bro
Buffy and Angel managed to have epic monster fights. I feel the problem was that the Smallville crew always though bigger was better and tried to strive for that. What they should have done was went smaller and more. The fight with Titan was great(still short mind you) because they focused up and let the sound effects and set do some of the talking.Basically they didn't need to go Man of Steel on the show. They just needed to lie to us and say it was a superhuman punch.
Angels fights weree better than buffys so ye
I know the fight was short, but to me, this will always be the best live action doomsday, and he's very accurate to the look of doomsday and the visual effects are just spot on.
Nah. Superman and Lois doomsday after his final mutation last week is perfect.
@DanielBunnell545 the Superman and lois doomsday, looks like the troll from Lord of the Rings jk lol but it's cool everyone has their own opinions
@DanielBunnell545 also to i didn't like they did the fight scene in daytime cause you can clearly tell all the cgi, but smallvilles doomsday was an actual monster suit which was really nice to see
@@kentproductions9506 I disagree that you could tell it was cgi. Definitely wasn’t bad cgi. Smallville looked and acted nothing like doomsday and that was way too early for him to see doomsday. He was not even Superman yet
@DanielBunnell545 we'll smallville was the first to ever do a live action doomsday, and I'm very grateful it happened the monster is practical. You can go behind the episode and watch how they did it, and doomsday is just a raging monster. Really, no acting there, lol, but yet again, they we're going by the original idea, but there are versions of doomsday we're they are not raging monsters, so yeah, and yeah i know he wasn't superman yet but it was still amazing to see for the first time and that's the one thing superman and Lois would never beat is its first time showing regardless you like it or not smallville will always be one of it's kind showes and best casting for lex and Lois and clark
it's ok, that power plant was uninhabited
Was?
This fight is extremely short compared to the ones we get in the cartoons that are longer
No shit
They way bro jogged to save that girl was gold
Agree. Couldn't help but compare this to the Titan fight, mainly because Clark made countless references to that fight after it happened. "I haven;t felt something like that since I went up against Titan", "I wanted to kill him" (referring to Titan). This fight was not that stand-offish. IMO, a standoff can be the most epic part of a fight. Two fighters staring each other down, breathing heavily, aww inspiring pauses, slow mo's, etc. Sometimes the simplest things like that make a fight.
I hated how short this was too, but it makes sense. In the comic, Superman is in his early to mid-thirties when he and Doomsday killed each other. In this season Clark is in his early twenties and doesn't have the power yet to stand toe to toe with Doomsday
Can't believe they actually let a kid to be part of Justice League. Love this version of Flash.
@Power106Fan Really? Damn, he looks really young tho.
@Power106Fan Ahhh, now I see . Thanks.

Doomsday:“Not against me.”
In the final season, the last episode he puts it on. We barely see him wearing the costume because the show was about Clark, not Superman.
Bingo
It’s greatest strength was also what held it back.
That’s what people don’t understand bingo!!!!💯
Clark is Superman! Superman is Clark! This “explanation” still used all the way to now is so damn stale. It was essentially Tom’s reasoning as to why he didn’t suit up himself on camera when it’s really all about how he never wanted to or was never comfortable with suiting up. It’s 2024, it’s either time for Tom to just completely fess up to the truth or just let it go. Fans got to let it go too and accept the truth instead of their dumb little “iT wAs aBouT cLaRk noT suPeRmAn” excuse. Superman is just another name Clark Kent goes by just as much as Kal-El and the Blur. All the same character, geniuses.
@@hordakalphatwo things can be right. Tom thought his career was still ahead of him and did not want to get type casted as another Superman. Unfortunately, that is most likely his biggest regret since he still is very involved with smallville till this day. But also, this show wanted us to see that Clark Kent is Superman with or without the suit. Superman is who he is by the trials and journey of Clark Kent.
Giving birth to Domesday must have been very uncomfortable for his poor mother.
If she had given him a different name, like Happyday, he might have grown up with a much more pleasant disposition.
This is the most comic book accurate Doomsday that we've had
Makeup, prosthetics and apropriate lighting look much better that even today's CGI (take a look at Superman and Lois).
Honestly for the time, it was great
"Are you okay?"
"You have a lot of time to talk?"
I love the little casual jog he did to save that little girl
Guys doomsday didn't really die. Clark just hid him somewhere. Doomsday comes back years later to kill Clark when he is superman in the comics.
Which hints at a couple of things. In Crisis, this clark kent is seen to voluntarily give up his powers, after seemingly a decade of fighting lex and his project goons. Saving the world. I'm guessing some blue kyrptonite because he would eventually need to take the powers back to stop Doomsday, and meet his fate.
@@MattCollectorControlHe doesnt get killed by Doomsday in EVERY universe, just most of them.
New 52 Superman didnt die by Doomsday for example,Pre Crisis OBVIOUSLY didnt even meet Doomsday(good luck killing that guy) and Reeves Superman also didnt die
@@MattCollectorControl None of the stuff that happened post-season 10 other than the season 11 comics are canon regarding Smallville. Everything seen in that garbage crossover thing contradicts what Smallville set up. Why would Clark deny his destiny after what he ultimately learned in season 10 (how only he could face Darkseid) and what the Legion told him about his importance & fame in the 31st century? What they did in that crossover was like season 5 Clark except with a family. It also goes against any lesson he would have learned from Dax-Ur's demise in season 7. How would he always be there to stop Lex as he told him in that scene in the Finale by just living on the farm with a family and not being Superman or even a reporter? Anything that didn't involve the show's producer's and/or creators at the time can't be considered canon since the CW network at the time of the crossover only cared about the new shows and couldn't give a rat's ass about retconning & cannibalizing Smallville to make their then-current shows look better. It's just drama at the expense of Smallville's actual canon and is very disrespectful and insulting when you look at the full picture.
The moron Andrew Dabb who started making the decisions around seasons 7-8 in Supernatural did the same thing when he did retcons of various characters in that series. He could care less about the canon so long as he made drama worthy scenes in the era when he was running the show. It was a middle finger to continuity and long time fans of the series who had watched it from the start like myself hated it. A great example being the retconning of Gabriel in season 13 (which was beyond stupid in the way it was done). They could've brought him back in a way that actually didn't retcon continuity but they didn't.
@@newhybrid101 Doomsday didn't even exist until 1992, after the Crisis and the Reeve films so it wouldn't have been possible but I get what you mean. Actually I'm thinking by pre-Crisis Superman, you mean Kal-L as in the pre-Crisis Superman when he returns and is made his own seperate character in Infinite Crisis.

This fight was so short, I blinked and had to come to RUclips to rewatch it since I missed it.
Imho there was no reason for Clark not to be Superman at this point. This is Doomsday! The monster known to kill Superman! This should’ve been the debut of Superman. Even if he was still unable (mentally) to fly.
They spent all season building up to it, and the actual fight was barely a minute long. How did Clark manage to leap with Doomsday into exactly the right spot, since he couldn't fly at that point? If Clark made it out, why didn't Doomsday? Obviously Doomsday isn't dead, why hasn't he clawed his way out? Such a poor ending.
epa316 it was such a letdown
Doomsday is definitely not dead. They say hes buried beneath the Earth
It’s better than Batman V Superman lol
and this was always smallvilles problem they can hype up a villian and then one motion it’s over
@@nicolasbesikian3051 Not really.
considering the time it was made, the budget and how season 8 was average (no Lionel, no Lex) this looks great. I wish the fight was like a little bit longer. Still, awesome show still worth watching, especially if you are DC fan :)
Excellent episode of the 8th season of Smallville
wouldn't him moving at that speed like tear that little girl apart?
Kazuya first of all it would cause a chained reaction of air heating up and exploding secondly he would grab a piece of the person and by applying that force to that piece he would indeed tear them all apart, thankfully this all doesnt happen because superman has physic protection thing that kind of pulls things together like gravity, to that point he applies the pressure, therefore things do not fall apart and air doesnt explode because the air moves with him kinda!
You’re applying real world physics to a fictional universe. Bruh....
Superman has a telekinetic force field around his body that extends to others when he's holding them, this is why they don't explode or die from this stuff...
You question speed but not some old man holding his own against the devil
@@Roam-de-routei think your refering to the flash on thay one bud
Loved smallville, but everyone praising Doomsday’s accuracy here needs to get their eyes checked.
While I thought the customer looked good I never liked the storyline with him being a dude that transforms into him
At 0:59 that scream doomsday made was insane.
Somehow this version of Doomsday looks more like does in the comic then Batman vs superman
Another epic Smallive!
One thing I liked about this fight, is that Clark used something that Johnathan taught him in earlier seasons. "... they might have your strength, but they don't have your other powers.." Clark ends up using his superspeed to tackle/bury Doomsday, because he knows he cannot go toe to toe with Doomsday.
I’m ngl this is actually a good looking fight for tv Jesus Christ.

They had a small budget.
ajjohnson07 Their budget got lowered in between season 6 and season 8. I wish they actually had more money to do this fight better.
Say what you like about the fight this is still by far the best looking incarnation of Doomday we've ever had. If they'd used this guy for that movie it would've been amazing.
And way way WAY BETTER THAN THE "DOOMSDAY" FROM BATMAN V SUPERMAN
This was probably the only time during Smallville where Clark actually looks like Superman when he flew doomsday up and crashed! him into the ground with the red&blue blur imagery.
If these looks replaced the other ones looks but the other one maintained its size you mean right? Cause these looks are on point but you'd think it's just a man in a suit cause of the size
@@Shaiorafit0Yeah, precisely that. Though to be fair the actor wearing the Doomsday outfit here is a man named Dario Delacio a stunt actor who is a fairly huge guy at 6'8. I'm not entirely sure how you could make him taller while wearing an actual costume like that unless you're going CGI.

Just a question. Im thinking abt watching the whole series from season until the end. But i just wanna know if clark ever wore the superman suit in this series? bec i remeber back when i was a kid and my aunt would watch this evryday,it didnt even cross my mind that smallville was abt superman
He wore it in the final episode.... but we don't see any full-body shots of him in the suit, which is kind of a bummer 😑
The editing is......something.
That Must Be Her Horse All My Things Fighting The Guy Smallville.
When I just thought the fight was about to begin, it had already ended!!
That was soooo shoooort... For a ultimate weapon, created by Kripton's Hitler this Doomsday is too slow and peacefull. When I watched 8 season, I though that will be a battle for at least two episodes, with massive destruction, Chuck Norris's "You call that a hit" moments and way more deaths, mostly because of Sam Witwer's play. That guy made Hulkstyle uncontrolable transformations, monster's bloodlust and whole Doomsday story looks more dangerous, terrifying and scarier. My opinion is, Doomsday is better stay in human form until the end.
And that black kryptonite. What was that for? Why so need to split human and monster when both of them is going to die in the end? Davis Bloome's final death and Doomsday's defeat was most awkward moments in whole season.
And they really have left everything as it is? Doomsday can't die, one day he will find a way out of there, but Clark, Oliver, Chloe and others behave as if it all ended when they know about Doomsday's adaptation to all that kills him.
P.S. Sorry for tons of hatred under the video and for bad english
Honestly, for the buildup they gave and how dangerous Doomsday seemed before, this was a disappointing fight to be sure, but I wouldn't write off the whole season, especially the Davis Bloom stuff.
Really think about it, what sounds like a more interesting story to you;
Analysing the nature of a beast and the human shell around it who is in constant internal struggle and denial over what he is, and with a compulsion to kill which he directs at what he perceives to be evil in the world in an attempt to convince himself that he's a good man, eventually culminating in the surrender of his own psyche to the monster inside, while everyone tries to debate whether it is his nature or nurture that made him what he is, only for the answer to be neither of those, that it was his choice that made him monstrous…
…or just a big hulking mindless brute that by definition has no personality and exists purely as a plot device to kill Superman.
Spike Prime Basically, all my complaints were about the last battle of Season 8. Doomsday - a symbol of that Superman can be defeated by physical strength. In their first meeting, they fought a few days, until both fell.
As you know, many enemies of Superman were "humanized" too much in the series(Lex Luthor, Bizzarro, Metallo). I think Clark really needed the enemy, who would be "a big hulking mindless brute that by definition has no personality and exists purely as a plot device to kill entire life in Universe, including Superman".
This Doomsday is good one because he combines the unstoppable mindless brute and a human with a firm intention to remain human. Character turned out quite interesting and could well be worthy of his name, if the last series has been completely revised and if the creators remembered that Doomsday - kryptonian and should have the same abilities as Clark.
My opinion - Davis Bloom handled the role good, but Doomsday disappointed, so I think it would be better for him to stay in human form until the end of the season
Глеб Каменский I definitely see where you're coming from, I was very disappointed in this fight too. I like some of the fights in Smallville, like Clark vs Titan was a pretty good battle there, a scaled-up version of that, maybe lasting longer than this with more collateral damage (though obviously not to the scale Man of Steel did) would've been more satisfying.
Though I get what the end of the fight was going for--remember Doomsday's first appearance in the comics, rising out of the ground? I think it was meant to imply that that's gonna happen again in this continuity when Clark is Superman, and he put him there.
Well Doomsday, in the comics, didn't gain the abilities from the sun like Clark did, nor did he have the same power set, and he was created before there was natural life on Krypton, so I think they were trying to stay at least a little true to that while adding some depth too, as well as linking it to Zod rather than some random alien scientist.
Plus I suppose you could make the argument that either he doesn't have the brain to use the same abilities, since he's mindless, or that messing with the genes made him physically stronger but also lacking certain abilities.
In the end though, we can only judge on what we got, which I feel was a lot of great build-up to a crappy final battle.
I think the last Davis Bloom scene almost makes up for it (somewhat) being a great twist, as well as clearly demonstrating that it is choice, and not than either nature or nurture, that makes a person who and what they are.
Damn, guys just… damn.
This season went really strong up until this point. I mean, the fight with friggin' TITAN felt like a bigger and better climax than this crap, and he was only established for one episode!
They had all this interesting stuff about the duality of Davis Bloom's character and this internal struggle… and then they have a, what, two minute barely-any-punches fight at the end? What a damned let down.
I really liked season 8 a lot until Lana showed up and really screwed things up with Clark's progression and gave us some of the worst episodes of the series (I especially hate the episode Power). And then they started getting back on the right track to an extent, though I hated the Chloe-Davis scenes and whatever they were doing with those characters. Then this episode happened and I remember watching it the night it aired. I thought the thing that would piss me off the most was the lack of a decent fight, which of course turned out to be the case with how short it was. But no, the thing that truly pissed me off was what they did to Jimmy's character. That was the lowest, lamest, most pathetic and most disgusting thing I have ever seen on this show and I still remember how many people were disgusted in the Kryptonsite forums. They were smart to hardly mention it in season 9, though in some ways I thought it was even more of an insult to the memory of Jimmy's character.
Despite all the disgusting crap they put Jimmy through in season 8 like having him addicted to drugs and putting him through a failed marriage, fans liked him so much more because of episodes like Identity and Stiletto where they showed his interaction with Clark & Lois. It was awesome to see the big 3 of the Daily Planet helping one another out and I really wanted more of that.
But yeah, this episode was just bad in pretty much every way---how they killed Jimmy off, the lack of any payoff of having Davis/Doomsday as the main villain, the way the other heroes completely screwed over Clark, the way they retconned the orb to being something completely different than what it was in season 7......
Where is NXIVM?
The fight caused the genius Mako Sharks to go berserk on the scientists 😂
its like 80% learning his powers and growing up during seasons 1-3.
Seasons 8-10 is focused on villains and superheros like 70% of the time.
If I remember correctly, seasons 1-6 are set in smallvile, and 7-10 in metropolis.
during the early years its basically a show for teenage girls...during the late years its almost a show for teenage boys. lol
/bump :p
Even though this was a huge letdown I do understand that they didn't have the budget to do what they wanted and did the best they could. I just wish the fight was longer and Clark doesn't even throw any punches. I would have liked to see Clark actually beat up Doomsday.
There's something about superman getting beat up that just warms my heart ♥. No doubt in my mind if superman was real I would be a super villain.
It's all the superman stans that made it out like he is invincible when he almost dies several times, gets beatten even more and overinflate his feats.
This was short but it was dope af too
I remember they built this up so much and I was so hyped looking forward to see Clark and Doomsday tango for at least 5 minutes and they made it crap. The kids actors were cheesy as heck too.
This scene from Smallvile Season 08 Episode 22-Doomsday (2008,2009) ended very badly with Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman and Davis Bloome/Doomsday dies simultaneously/same time instantly in Metropolis, U.S.A. (fictional city, non-existence) basically Smallvile Season 01-10 (2001-2011), Arrow Season 01-present (2011-present), The Flash Season 01-present (2014-present), Supergirl Season 01-present (2015-present), & DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Season 01-present (2015-present) are filmed/shot in some parts of Canada and not California (usually films/tv are filmed there every year). Tom Welling and Sam Witwer had the best performances in this season 8 years back but the characters are still legendary today-future peace, love, respect, and God bless my friends.😀👍👌

I always like it when comic book adaptations are done as realistically as possible, so that they come off as plausible, even if they're not, in order to aid in the ability to lose oneself in fantasy, and aid in the wonderful wish fulfilment escape of playing superhero.
I've said before that defining Kryptonians as having to make a somewhat significant effort to take one or two seconds to change their view of time via their perception, regarding their super speed, so that they can access this ability, and having to put in some mild effort to remain focused in this time perception to still keep using this ability, would enable that power to make more sense, as it would explain why they don't use it all the time while in battle. Regarding the former detail, it would be cool to have a scene or two, showcasing them accessing their speed abilities by putting in the effort to make their perception of time alter.
This would help explain why Clark doesn't use his super speed all the time when in battle, regarding numerous fights. However, it doesn't explain why Clark doesn't stay in the super speed setting when fighting. I propose a solution - Clark has to put in mild effort to enter the super speed setting, but for when Clark makes long, continual runs in super speed, he has to triple down on the effort needed to stay in super speed. The effort required is mildly intense, and this is why he's not able to use this elongated super speed focus while fighting, as he has to focus on battling too.
In Superman adaptations, since super speed is only used very frequently in Smallville and Superman & Lois, only Smallville needs to use this logic regarding super speed settings (the super speed inconsistencies have never happened in Superman & Lois). However, all adaptations of Superman can use this if they'd like.
It was a good conception of Davis/ Doomsday in Smallville version, but they can do a better version in a film, to tell all Superman story in couple of movies, meaning origins of kryptonian villains (General Zod,Doomsday,Eradicator), Lex Luthor's origin and how Krypton explodeed. How other villains are born, but again, in a Smallville version a little different then rest of the show.
At 1:13 if I were that girl I'd run like hell
apparently you've never been in "pants-shitting" shock before...
toxic tabby I was but for personal reasons
it's cool man. I get it.
toxic tabby well never really that scared
Game set, and match
This movie reminds me of Superman Doomsday since 2007 and Live Action is a real tv show for ages.
0:52 Does Doomsday not have Super Speed?
0:50 why is that couple just walking like nothing's going on lol
They think it's a dream 😂😂😂
I remember being really disappointed with this finale. I liked the whole season, and was looking forward to seeing this fight, only for it to last less than a minute. I always knew this show didn't have a huge budget, but I wish they could've at least stretched this fight out a couple more minutes. At least have Clark throw a few punches. This is still one of my favorite superhero shows, but I'll admit that some of the fights were lackluster. Most of the time it seemed like they were afraid to have Clark actually punch people.
@Kal-El of Earth-167 Aye that's pretty much why so many episodes had to nerf him with Kryptonite. This is a drama series you can't really have Clark go all out. Hell a recurring and hilarious plot line in this series is that Clark was afraid to "have physical relations" with a girl because he might.. cause harm. The show kinda yadayada how he gets around this but there's an episode where Lana gets his powers... they get busy and cause a swarm of earthquakes.
@Kal-El of Earth-167 Completely agreed. I think Smallvilles Clark Kent is not only the strongest live action version but also one of the more intelligent ones as well as he often used his powers in really creative ways and also outwitted formidable opponents like Zod (no less than 3 times, mind you) . I also think his co-ordination with his team mates like Oliver and Chloe were spot on.
However his biggest restriction was simply the fact this was a Clark Kent who had to protect his secret so he couldn't have these epic movie fights that destroy metropolis and the like but I think given how well it's done Smallville Clark is best clark.
Haven't started this series yet. Is it like 50 % fights with these supervillains, 50 % storyline of him growing up or what?
A very balanced fight, one moment Doomsday was winning, the next Clark was getting hit. 😂😂😂😂
cool
This is when the series broke all the rules
Considering their budget I thought doomsday looked great and even looked better than batman vs supermans doomsday the only thing off was his size but hey back then cgi wasn't exactly amazing with that budget all in all its great
Most anti-climactic fight I've ever seen from Kal-El.
is this season 8 ???
little girl mother survived but injured
Damn... he crashed him right into that pyrotechnics factory.
It was a geothermal energy plant.
It seems to me that they could find some very huge guy, give him this makeup and it would be more impressive. This way they could have added more hand-to-hand scenes, with minimal special effects.
This is my favorite show
this doomsday looks way better than the doomsday of BvS!
you are blind
bruhh
millennials....cant live with them,cant live without them....stupid fucks.
oh my god fuck you so hard
Lol how? This has nothing on that version. Maybe the placement of the bones but that's it. You can tell these are practical effects for TV and it hasn't ages that well.
I'm not saying this is bad but it's not that great.
14 yrs damn I am old asf
It's funny seeing all these scenes with Superman bleeding, seeing he has a healing factor that equals Hulks.
Enjoyed the show, however, was always frustrated when the adult Man of Steel storylines were introduced to Smallville Clark who was learning how to become Supes battlin’ against the Superman villains as an unknown, “Red-Blue Blur.”😆
This is because it took Tom’s Clark Kent years longer to accept his destiny as Superman than it was suppose too or normally takes
@ At this time, Elsewhere Verse wasn’t a thing…that helped me in retrospect/through the MultiVerse lens.
This isnt superman vs doomsday, this is Clark Kent ( the blur ) vs an unknown creature ,
@Cer El finally someone with a brain 🧠
who won the fight?
I wish they made this fight longer it was rushed
Why doomsday and Superman always fight at night and not in the day time? 😁
