A part of me really wishes that Clark had decided to tell Lex the truth and be more open with him. Just imagine the possibilities just doing that could have brought about in terms of future storylines and character development. Maybe the two have a better friendship for a while but Lex begins to change regardless and when the two have a falling out that sets them on the path to being enemies, Clark realizes why keeping his secret is important and thus explains why he is against sharing it willingly. Or go the fanfiction route and Lex never becomes evil because Clark was willing to be so open with him, thus preventing him from going down a dark path. Maybe have Lionel be the villain and he ends up killing Lex, thus adding a tragedy to the character that kinda goes along with the "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" quote.
Lex has always had something inherently dark within him. Rather Clark told him or not, Lex was always going to be at odds with Clark due to conflict of interest. Clark wants to do good at all times and all places, whereas Lex isn’t as rigged, he will cut corners to get what he wants. That ultimately would have made them be at odds. At least, that’s my opinion, what do you think about that?
Lex was spying on Clark from day 1, and although he promised not to do again he kept doing it. That's not a true friend.@@solarpoweredafricanvegansp178
*There was an awesome fanfic idea that saw Lex protecting Clarke's secret, while otherworld Lex (The Evil Lex) faces off with Smallville's Lex & good Lex dies protecting Clark's secret, by basically having Tess's fate. where her last act she wipes evil Lex's memory of Clark, of Smallville everything basically.*
@@solarpoweredafricanvegansp178 I get where you're coming from, and I agree to a certain extent, but I still believe that there was a chance that Lex could have avoided his fate during Season 1 and midway through Season 2. If Clark and the Kent family had been more open with Lex during that time period, he may have been more willing to go down a better path. That said, there was an episode that proved to me that Lex had reached the beginning point of "no return". I can't remember the name or number but it was an episode where Lionel and Martha were held captive and it ends with Lex looking over towards Clark as he is reunited with his parents. The way he was looking at them told me that he realized that he couldn't have what they did, nor that they would ever trust him as they do each other. That's the moment where I realized that Lex had reached a point where the Kents had lost their chance to truly save him.
Hey Clark how about “you’re not crazy but just act like you are becoming more stable so they just give you schizo/bipolar meds until i figure out how to get you out”
This would have been an interesting turning point if clark had been honest with lex. It's not like there isn't other people that could corroborate that clark has super powers.
They was best friend lex ask Clark if there anything tell him and said lies destroy his trust because of his father clark should have trusted lex from start
See the thing is, from clarks perspective he cant for three reasons 1. His whole life was spent hiding who he was, it’s difficult to break that habbit 2. He really doesnt know lex very much at all, he’s only known him for so long 3. Luthors cant be trusted according to his father, the man he respects the most of all
@@jayku1624 when Lex finally confronted Clark talking about Clark not trusting him enough to tell him, i don’t know why Clark didn’t mention the fact that that he didn’t tell Chloe or Lana either.. Lex was taking it so personal he didn’t even realize its not because he didn’t trust *Lex specifically* , (in the earlier seasons), it’s because if he’s secret got out it’d mean his entire normal life is over
What Clark did to Lex here was borderline sociopathic. He knew Lex was being drugged by his father and kept there against his will with his mind being degraded. Yet he left him there to rot in order to protect a secret that was already out of the bag anyway. He could have gotten Lex out and helped guide him towards the light but instead he maroons him in hell.
You're forgetting he went back to try and get him out later. The only reason why he couldn't is because somehow Eric and Ian knew he was there. As for guiding Lex, you can only show someone a path, not make them walk it.
I remember watching this when it aired and thinking all the buildup to the moment worked, and then Lex just forgets about Clark and it always rubbed me wrong. I understand the writers' hesitation to let this stick, I just felt like this was a perfect way to move things in a new way and that Lex could have built a new kind of resentment towards Clark later. I also hoped they could just be friends and screw comic continuity. TV shows like this can change relationships, Lex could have been a friend in the end. He has different experiences than the ocmic Lex, which could have changed him. The show kind of lost me at this moment and I don't remember enough to give any more details. I just remember this is when the show lost me.
I never understood why Clark just didn’t tell Lex he was meteor infected, and that’s how he got his powers. Then Clark could’ve been semi honest with Lex without losing their friendship and maybe Lex wouldn’t have turned to the dark side.
Lex just wants someone in his life that loves him.. Clark should have been that guy for him but he was never honest. I truly feel bad for him he tried so harjuto be good.
@@ChickenJoe12to be fair Lex was basically at the tipping point of his sanity in this scene and he most likely wasn’t thinking straight, but that’s just giving him the benefit of the doubt…

@@solarpoweredafricanvegansp178That's what the actors & producers had explained at one point. Lex was too obsessed with power & control.

Hey Lex, how about 'wow that is incredible Clark, and thank you so much for saving my life ... the second time!'

I mean, it might've been different. But to say and always support that Lex would've been good is grossly naive.

One thing I hated about this show everyone knew Clarks weakness and had kyptonite
They didn’t know he just happen to keep reacting to it even if it was a small amount or use it by coincidence
IS THAT JTT AT 2:22 ????

Congrats on cracking that code

what episode?
So who is going to believe Lex😮
Lex just wants someone in his life that loves him.. Clark should have been that guy for him but he was never honest. I truly feel bad for him he tried so harjuto be good.
Lex wants clark powers and blames himself
Que episódio é esse
Clark was a jerk. He told others, but not the best friend that was always there for him and his friends 😡
Lex literally told the *very first* people he saw after seeing Clark use his powers.. yeah would’ve been such a good idea to tell him
Lex ultimately proved that he could never be trusted..
