View Full Version : Clark's a total jerk

Clark is totally oblivous to Chloe's feelings. Whenever he talks to her it's always "Oh Chloe, I love Lana so much, she's my soul mate, etc.", being completely insensitive to her feelings. Tonight when he was lamenting to her about how hard it is to see the person you love in the arms of someone else and how Chloe could never imagine what it feels like... Yeah, I bet Chloe has a REAL hard time imagining what that feels like, considering she's only gone through it throughout the entire series with Clark always fawning over Lana. She knows NOTHING about what it feels like to see the person you love obsessing over someone else. I knew Clark was stupid but how stupid can he get? Either he's a complete idiot or he's just an *******. Where did the kind Clark of Seasons 1-3 go?

agreed.
But i think this may be a tipping point on how clark may view her feeling for him. If he thinks about what she said. And she handled herself well. cause she could of said welcome to my world.
I refuse to call Clark dumb just yet

Agreed and agreed, but the way Clown-El is acting Chloe is simply too good for him. The thing I'm having the hardest time understanding is how this guy will be Our Superman?????

It's the kind of realization that he is an idiot for talking like that in front of her, that he would start thinking differently about her. seriously, the fan fic writers do a better job of making Clark transition to Chloe as a romantic interest..in one paragraph they explain it and the rest of the story continues and all is well in the fiction world.
That's about all it would take in Smallville universe also...one realization from Clark that he's been an idiot when it comes to choosing between Lana or Chloe, and the rest would be believable also, given their 4-5 year angsty friendship. Of course, by now, some fans dont want Chloe to be with Clark because of how he's been acting this last 1-1.5 years.

Mine weren't mumbled at all.......two words......the word "you"
(refering to the BDA)....and another infamous four letter word......Oh, and when he walked in on the Lexanna Lip Lock.....I was more than happy to yell it out as well.
It's not Plane.....it's not Superman.....it's me giving Clarkie the Bird as I'm yelling out these two very theraputic words.

I can't believe that this is exactly what I'm feeling about these two. Maybe that's why I'd like to see a young Bruce Wayne visit Metropolis and hook up with her. Yeah, I'd like to see someone who can kick Clarkie's behind by just using his brains. Besides, I think it would be nice to see Chloe do Scooby Detective work with someone who actually has an I.Q. Not that Clarks a complete Moron.....but he's too close for comfort.

All Chloe had to say was three words, "Yeah, I do." But she didn't. I think she has gotten over Clark and that Chloe has grown up more than anyone else on the show.

I don't think Clark is a jerk. I also don't think Chloe has gotten over him.
I just think that Chloe has taken the Clana relationship with good stride and has proven to Clark that he can come talk to her about relationship stuff.
Clark, needing that friend to dump his relationship woes goes to Chloe about his feelings and thoughts. Clark, being a little dim-witted on relationship stuff, may not have even thought about the past when doing so. He has a tendency to look at the present more often than the past.
So no I don't think Clark was a jerk, despite how ironic I found the whole conversation.
In my head I was thinking "Chloe has no idea? What planet are you from again Clark?"

As much as Chloe loves and cares for Clark, I think she knows that she may never end up with him. plus the way he's been acting lately has really made him not to favorable to chloe. yes they are best friends and she knows his secret, but i think its more of best friends relationship now.
Your right chloe is the only character who grew up and is mature.
Lois is slowly getting there..she's still headstrong and has a prissy attitude at times, but you know getting the job of cheif(chief whatever LOL!) of staff is a lot of responsibility. I'm pretty sure Lois will start being more serious and start becoming the woman she is destined to be.

Chloe's idolization of Clark and her previous seasons' jealousy of his love life does not compare to Clark's *first love* relationship with Lana. Lana and Clark are special to one another. They lost their virginity to each other. Clark asked her to marry him, saw her die, and made a gigantic sacrifice in giving her up so she can remain safe. The only comparison with Chloe is that she thought her infatuation for Clark should have been reciprocated. But it never was. Now Chloe is being a very mature friend, swallowing her own one-sided passions and offering to allow Clark a shoulder to cry on, so to speak. That is what friends do. Clark is not in the wrong, even if Chloe still harbors some feelings of attraction to him.

Well, I think that Clark is a little dim when it comes to relationships. In fact, from what I've seen, Superman ain't so great at it, either. He's not Bruce Wayne with woman, that's for sure (that's probably a good thing in the long run).
I do believe he could have been a little more conscious of Chloe's feelings in this scene. I wouldn't call him a jerk for it because it's not his fault someone has feelings for him. He should just be more sensitive to it, that's all.

He could get away with this when he was in high school, but now that he's grown up, it just makes him seem dim. I can't believe how patient Chloe is with him.

Well, I'm gonna stick my neck out here and disagree. Please don't shoot me. I seem to remember a scene on a football field (the Devoted Episode I think) where Chloe tearfully admitted to Clark that she obviously still had feeling for him. He very kindly and gently was honest with her about his own feelings. He said he wished he felt the same way, but didn't, not yet. I was really listening to the "not yet" part. Chloe agreed to be his friend on those terms. She knew then that Clark loves Lana. Always has. She implied an acceptance of that. Doesn't mean her feelings will go away, but it does mean she decided to be friends with Clark in spite of those feelings. I think that was a good decision. Who else can she count on like she can Clark. And he counts on her as well. Who listened to her fears about her mother? Clark. Who saved her life when she got doused with truth serum? Clark. There are countless times when he has been there for her and she for him. It's a pattern in their relationship. A healthy one I think.
Clark can't help how he feels. No one can make themselves fall in love. Might not be any divorces if that were possible. Right now Clark is hurting and needs a friend and Chloe is all he's got. She knows that and gladly fills that need. There will come a time when Chloe is the one who needs support and a person with whom to ventilate her frustrations and disappointments. Clark will be there for her.
I agree with rumpsuo here. I also agree that Chloe is mature and is handling a very difficult situation very delicately and effectively. Bravos to her.
Clark is not dumb. He is not mean. He is not hurtful. He is not selfish. He is not vindictive. He is a young man with a world of problems, disappointments, and questions he must face. Does he always handle things in ways that turn out best. It would appear that he does not. Neither do I. I suspect that everyone on this board has handled things badly at some point in their lives. And we don't have all the huge issues to deal with and to distract us as does Clark.
Clark has taken some hard knocks. He has done so with acceptance and to some extent grace. He doesn't mouth off to Lana when she is being hateful. I personally think he should put her in her place at least once in her holier than thou attitude. He doesn't take credit for all the good he does. That's classy. He doesn't behave disrespectfully to anyone, not even Lionel except for telling him to stay away from his mother. I'm not even sure that was disrespectful; just seriously honest.
In my mind, Clark is not a jerk. Just a young man who is hurting, who is lonely, and who has the weight of the world on his broad shoulders. Chloe still loves him even with his flaws. I think I can too.

Since I don't keep copies of various episodes, I merely have impressions but Clark did know that Chloe had a crush on him several years ago and when that didn't work out, he and she agreed to be friends. (as I remember it). Exactly how did he know the depth of her feelings at that time or after they decided that friends was what they were?
As observors we saw and know of Chloe's tears, her lovely love not to Clark when he was unconscious. At the same time, hurtful as it was to her, Clark mumbled Lana's name and has never hidden his affection for Lana from Chloe. So, if she hasn't told him directly in the years since they parted as potential young lovers, how is he a jerk if he didn't then nor doesn't now know of the extent and depth of her feelings?
By definition, he could only be a jerk if he knew of her attachment, other than as a best friend, and went ahead ignoring her hurt feelings as he talked to Chloe about Lana.
Since I am a big fan of Chloe, I would phrase the problem otherwise. It is time for Clark to open his eyes with a mature assesment of qualities in a girl (rather than teenage or other lust) and he would clearly see that Chloe by far is the best female around and the two 'L' girls pale in comparison, with or without tanning beds.

Good post, but a few things. First, Chloe is a hard character to break down. While I agree that she's handled things with Clark well, romantic feelings aside, this girl has it made. She spends more time with Clark than anyone, even when he was dating Lana. She is very close to him and she even said it herself in Hidden, she really likes being the only one who knows about him. It's special to her. So I don't feel bad for Chloe at all.
As for Clark putting Lana in her place, I agree with wanting to see that but it can't be done unless he tells her the whole truth, otherwise he is going to come off as saying all of these powerful things to her, and when she quetions him on it, he'll be stuck in a corner with no way out unless he does tell her the truth. Just look at how it worked out in Fade, he tells her that Lex is dangerous and he can't be trusted and yet she can just as easily turn that around on him. And then what is Clark supposed to say? That's why I disagree completely with everyone who says that Lana doesn't need to know the truth. I often times think that people forget about what Chloe was like prior to her knowing about Clark. She was worse than Lana because she actually researched Clark to get the answers for herself, on more than one occasion. Now everyone just expects Lana to act like Chloe this season but they forget about the changes that Chloe went through after she found out about Clark.

I was glad to see I wasn't the only one who noticed the line .. I wonder if or how the writers are going to play this out.. Will Clark ever realize how much chloe has loved him all these years and that what he just went through is what Chloe has gone through over and over.. I wonder if they will play on that at all or leave it and Clark never realize.

I agree, except I still think Clark's a jerk. Although I realize it can be a gray area, I believe absolving Clark of any wrong in this situation (as some are saying) is just a "Mature/Cop out way" of looking at it (just my opinion). Life isn't as simple as a rule book. If I had two friends.....one like Clark.....and one that talks to Clark the way that Chloe does with regards to Lex & Lana.....I think I'd know which one is trying to be the better friend..... a better freind by at least attempting to be more aware of her friend's feelings......Clark's a moron in this.....unless it's some ten year old kid's feelings or the situation is so super obvious that even a 10 year old could pick up on it.
If we are going to absolve Clark of any wrong doing, then it would be fair to say that Chloe doesn't have to care about Clark's emotions when she's talking to him about the Lex/Lana lip lock......she didn't do anything wrong (and that includes not telling him....it's not her place), and she doesn't need to try to spare his feelings.......but that's the difference between being the Moron Clark & being the Super Friends kind of girl that Chloe is being portrayed as. If people want to get technical and say that Clark's not in the wrong, okay......but there is no doubt as to who the better friend is in this situation.

I agree that Clark was terribly insensitive in that scene. As pointed out, Chloe admitted that she still has those feelings for Clark. I think she has just resigned herself to the fact that it is never going to happen. But that doesn't mean the feelings have just disappeared, anymore than Clark suddenly stopped caring about Lana just because they broke up. The point is he's taking advantage of their friendship. Of course, Clark has always been self-absorbed. One could argue that that is why things won't ever work out between Clark and Lana. They are both very self-absorbed people.

Wow.....nice way to put it.......it would be nice to have Clark learn his mistake with Chloe in order to not have it happen with Lois.....but that maybe to much to ask from both the Moron Clark Kent.....and the Smallville writters.

See? Chloe knows his secret and so far no super-powered villains have jet-packed her away to some secret volcano lair, right? So what's the problem?

I always hear that Lois Lane has poor communication skills but if that is the case then so has Clark Kent. For 5 seasons he has not been able to tell Lana his secret, he is a bumbling bafoon, dishes out advice to others and can be condescending in manner but yet doesn't take his own.

I also find it funny how it is said that Lana cannot be trusted because of Reckoning and Lex finding out that she's hiding something, but hello? Does anyone remember Commencement when Lex knew that Chloe knew about Clark's secret? Apparently Lex and the writers forgot about that. Compare both situations, Lana slaps Lex and runs out of the room and Chloe pushes Lex into a cave wall. It's very convenient that the reckoning situation led to Lana's death and not the commencement situation when it came to Chloe.

myankskent,
we are supposed to forget everything that happend in past episodes and not wonder what the heck is going on with folk in Smallville. Like Clark worrying about hurting a human when mating. He relived Jor-El's memory of having intercourse with Lana's great-aunt while being a fully powered Kryptonian. Must be all the long term exposure to meteorite radiation that makes people partially amnesiac.

I don't agree with this. Clark was very honest with Chloe in Season 4 (Devoted) about his feelings. It is Chloe who has decided to remain friends with Clark knowing he won't give her what she wants. Chloe and Clark's greatest asset is that they can be honest with each other. Obviously Chloe would rather have him in her life, and so that choice comes with the fact that she may never get a romantic relationship with him, but at least she can count on a honest relationship, which at this point is very special to her as she's already stated.

I disagree. Your reasoning sounds good in theory......but to bring it to life on the screen.....that's a different matter. But let's say.....what if we were both writters working on the same staff, and you were pitching this logic to support the storyline? And then I was suddenly asked for my thoughts? I know exactly what I'd say......and it would involve these key points:
1. It sounds logical but in the end, Clark will come out looking bad, and Chloe will come out looking like the real winner....not romantically.....but as a person. The heroine who sucks it up to do whats right. Not that Clark doesn't have occasional elements of this to his character, but he's been put in a position where redemption from what he's done to Lana, not to mention everyone else, is not going to be easily accepted. Even if he weren't the future Superman, it still wouldn't be easy......but since he is.........we as navigators of the current Superman Mythos had better come up with some phenominal pieces of writting to get us out of this hole.
2. Now, in addition to phenominal writting.....the only way for Clark to get away with this (meaning the way he talks to Chloe about his romantic/sexual Clana antics) and make it have even a slight chance at working, lies in the hands of both the directors & Tom Welling. Needless to say....so far....I haven't seen Tom or any of the directors work any magic here.
3. Why the hell did we have Clark say "at least not right now" to Chloe in "Devoted"? If we're stringing all the Chlarkers along just so they keep watching, well......I guess that's a business decision......but I gotta tell ya'.....that hole that we're digging for ourselves is getting mighty deep.

My initial reaction was Clark you BDA how could you say such an insensitive thing to Chloe of all people. When I thought back to that scene I felt that it wasn't Clark's intention to be cruel, he was just caught up in his own dispair not to recognise Chloe had gone through her own version of this with him. He was forgetful and insensitive whether he meant to or not...BUT what I think we were really suppose to come away with was how Chloe handled the situation. She took the higher ground. She didn't remind him when she walked in on her friend and the guy she was hopelessly in love with in a "major lip lock". She remained supportive, putting his feelings before her own as always.
I wasn't left with the idea of how Clark can be a real jerk when it comes to Chloe so much as I was left with the impression of how mature Chloe has become, what a great friend and how lucky a guy Clark is to have a women like her in his life. The real purpose of this scene IMHO.
My final reaction about the scene when Clark is looking at Chloe was... This is the beginning of the realization for Clark to see who Chloe really is in his life..... The girl who got away.

Clark shows zero sensitivity to Chloe. Whenever he talks to her about his love life.
At the same time, Chloe encourages it. They are "best friends." What do you talk with your best friend about? Lots of things, but romance and love have to be near the top of the list.
She's obviously still in love with him. More than ever, since now she knows what he really is, and the selfless way he uses his powers.

Clark is a guy and like most guys they only have two switches, on and off so as far as he is concerned they settled the "let's be friends" thing long ago so it wouldn't enter his manly head that she might be still in love with him.
She loves him but he looks at that as love for a friends. ;) as much a he loves her enough to go save her and became human because of it.

I feel for Chloe and would like nothing more than for her to finally get her heart desire. It is so painful to watch her listen to Clark talk about his feeling for Lana and to see her support him through out no matter how much it must hurt her.

At the same time, Chloe encourages it. They are "best friends." What do you talk with your best friend about? Lots of things, but romance and love have to be near the top of the list.
She's obviously still in love with him. More than ever, since now she knows what he really is, and the selfless way he uses his powers.
I agree with this. If Chloe didn't want Clark to share his feelings/love life, she had the perfect opportunity when he asked her point blank "how far do we want to take this friendship boundary", and she said she was willing to listen. Even made a joke about it "Krypto Hag". So therefore you can't fault Clark, as he gave her the option.

is that four letter-word love? :D
i think it was one of those "ironies" the writers threw in on purpose.....i mentioned it in a previous post, slightly different in this case but same sorta thing.

So, I'm guessing y'all think Chloe's still in love with Clark? I'm not sure I believe that...

I think she loves him as a close friend, but won't allow anything more until he's ready, because I don't think she can allow herself to get hung up if he's not interested, because being his friend and in his life is the most important to her. But she would clearly be there if he was there.

i respect chloe....i wish i were like her...she loves him she's loved him most of her life and she still sits there listening to him moan about a crush....it s not even a crusc its an obsession !!! what is so special about lana tha makes clark follow her around like a puppy??
i hate the clark i see now...he sort of disgusts me ....he is not the guy i want for chloe...
i believe she will love him for ever the way this is going but she has matured and now she is more of a woman instead of a highschool girl (like lana)....she is thinking of her future, her job at the DP and she is planning ahead...if clark happens to show up in her future plan thats ok with her if not i dont think she would really mind...she went through enough with him and she is learning to let go...

Why the hell did we (Smallville Writters) have Clark say "at least not right now" to Chloe in "Devoted"? If we're stringing all the Chlarkers along just so they keep watching, well......I guess that's a business decision......but I gotta tell ya'.....that hole that we're digging for ourselves is getting mighty deep.
CK&CK stuck in that deep, deep, very deep hole with the two creators/writters from Smallville.
CK&CK "Hey Miles......do you smell that?"
Miles "Yeah......what is that?"
Al "it smells like........."
CK&CK & Miles "yeah?"
Al "well.....it kind of smells like authentic Chinese food....doesn't it?"

Yeah.....sure.....that's what it was...............oh wait.......Love's not infamous.....is it? But then again, Clark Kent/Superboy with his "Blinders" on full force might just actually qualify....now that I think of it.
