A revision: Lois as Lois, encouraging Clark as Clark to fly

[Mr. Clark Kent27]

This scene for me didn't upset me so much like it was the end of the world moment as if Chloe died in the season finale making it more about Chloe, and not Clark's death, Doomsday's murder.

I liked the scene however, I had mixed feelings. So think of this in just a regular way same scene except Lois is actually Lois, and Clark is actually Clark, remembering who he is.

Do you think Clark would have super jumped/leaped for Lois?

He only believe in Chloe at this point, that's what made Clark turn back into the real Clark and the RBB Clark.

He would have, hypothetically, because it was all about having someone believe in you and just how far you can go.

However that scene would never be an option at this point in time because Lois has no idea who Clark can be.

[Mr. Clark Kent27]

Yeah but say it was episode Infamous, I'm sure Clark would have listen to any of Lois' encouraments because he did, but not everything, I mean he put the Legion ring on, and ignored Lois.

Still there should be such a scene like this on Smallville. It would be beautiful. I can't imagine Clark deciding to fly for Chloe later. Chloe is just Clark's friend, it should certaintly be someone else who's more important to Clark in the future.

Say there's some episode sort of like Apocalypse or Infamous, only it will be real this time, but Lois will forget whatever happened.

But we see Lois revealing something true to Clark. She encourages Clark to fly maybe. I would just love that.

Guess it won't happen though no matter what I say.

MY BAD! This is a double post, but hear me out esp. on this!:

The point to this is Clark just wouldn't listen to Lois, because he doesn't think of her that way. I mean, she is someone Clark thinks he could never tell his secret to because she's so...what's the word, vulgar?

But in such a scene like I said, when Lois encourages Clark to fly, Clark actually listens to her, he does it for her, he TRIES to fly, and he actually does, and the point after this will be that Clark will REALIZE that he loves Lois VERY MUCH. :D

But after that scene, an excuse should happen for Lois to forget all about that so she won't remember Clark's secret, because otherwise, it will take the fun away with her not knowing Clark's secret.

well that's a fair point about Infamous but I actually think that one moment was poorly written.

It would have been more consistent had they had Clark put on the ring while Lois was still busy listening to the voicemail. But i think they choose (for some strange reason) to try and illicit some two-second tension for the audience as to whether Clark would learn Davis' identity there and then.

I have no idea :lol:

About Davis though, another thing that was poorly written was that he actually had a good story arc, but all of it was fake, I don't think he had to turn into Doomsday though. On second thought, why did they need to have Sam Wither in this episode? Big mistake all along. That will affect this season later, because now they need to make a new scene where Davis learns his mission, without remembering that in "Infamous."

I hope Clark will just get out of his narrow minded head. Because he loves Lois, no doubt, but he is lying to himself, thinking that he doesn't. He would like to, but on the other hand, when Lana came back, "No Lana is the one, Lana....Lana. Lana. Lana. Lana..."

To angry to believe that his love life will change because he was too focused on the fact that Lana, his first and only girlfriend would be his love life forever. He's gotta get over her. He's still childish.

I think he has a lot of love for Lois right now, enough so that...like Chloe...if she told him he could jump up onto rooftops he'd believe her.

Whether he's IN love with her at this point is another matter entirely, and it's always hard to get there when you haven't even so much as locked lips yet.

[ClumsyGRL]

he would have jumped,ONLY because lois would force him!!!wanting or not!!!:D

[wingster55]

Right now only Chloe is his inspiration. No one else.

Yes, it's like Jonathan Kent means nothing to Clark. :rolleyes:

[Iluvgreen]

Chloe believes in him. She is his best friend!

I don't agree. Clark's ability to overcome his hex was a reflection of his strong character. Chloe may have encouraged him, but he didn't superleap/jump just because of her. The stakes were high; he knew someone needed to do something to stop Zatanna, and here was Chloe saying he could. Her words struck a chord and would have done so regardless of whom it came from.

Although I'm a Lois supporter, Clark's motivation to embrace his powers should be a reflection of himself and the acceptance of his destiny. I don't want anyone to tell him how to finally fly. Superman didn't need anyone to tell him, he discovered the nascent power himself, perhaps honing it later with or without training depending on the media you see.

Similarly when it comes to SVClark's first flight, I would rather that he chose to do it on his own during a moment of self-discovery.

I meant of the living. Trust me I won't downplay Johnathan's influence.

[Bizarrolover]

I would like to see Clark flying because he wants to, not because someone tells him todo it.

I agree. I can't vote in this poll because I can't agree with any of the choices. He jumped because of himself - whether she turned into Chloe or not.

Well said! I totally agree. I voted unsure because of this reason myself. Clark/Superman is typically a strong character who does what he does for the better good of the world at large. He doesn't need anyone to encourage him. Clark's character will evolve into Superman who has a powerful influence on everyone around him. He exerts authority by his presence alone. Superman is the epitome of prevailing or succeeding against any and all odds.

I think he jumped for himself. That Chloe pushes him, fine, but its only because she actually knows his secret. Lois would do the same thing. Remember "Infamous"? "Then stay and fight, give people a chance to see who you really are..." "He could have been the hero they always needed..." "I understand..." Lines like these show just what kind of influence Lois would be in Clark's life, if she knew his secret....

[chlo-el]

I think "Hex" showed that they both bring their super heroeic side out of each other. I think Lois would have also if she knew his secret supporting his heriocs just like Chloe always has. But I wouldn't change the scene it was epic. Heroes need support and people to beleive in them. And Chloe and Lois both have done this for Clark.

But this season it showed Chloe bring out his heroic side more or at least supporting it. And lois bring out supporting his reporter side.
