Re: Re: Re: Re: combat was terrible
Thanks, Jack, for your support of my interpretation of what happened in "Combat". It's too bad that some others didn't read my input and reconsidered even a little to re-evaluate the episode. I personally read so many of other's comments on this forum so that I could 'connect' with those who I hope would have similar tastes in entertainment as I do. However, since SMALLVILLE is based on a DC Comics character, many of the very young participants who frequent this forum DO relish the "Action" and "Violence" that's often portrayed in Superhero adventures. It's typical, but I also love Action/Adventure movies and it's always a thrill to see the "Bad Guys" taken down by the "Good Guys" in every story. I don't ever like violence for violence sake, or simply because some writers think it's needed to spice up a story. I just like a happy ending where our familiar characters don't get killed, and someone comes to the rescue. In our violent society today, too many people are innocent victims who had no rescuer in sight to deliver them from an unfortunate demise. A Peaceful society is a Dream many of us hope for. Obviously, NOT All of us do, because we do live in a world that boldly displays our lack of civilization. However, a line has been drawn, and there are those who seek violence and live violently and those who've made the CHOICE to be Peacemakers. It's a fact. TV is a true reflection of our society. It's only 'make-believe', and those who try to entertain us feel that they must continue to push the edge of the envelope of the thrill to hold our attention, but sadly, the true horror is that reality is worse.
Shows like Smallville present to us a Moral compass. In "Combat", Titan/Kane was a living being, true, but he was 'Bred' for Battle and Killing by scientists on an alien world. If he'd been shown mercy, he wouldn't have understood it, and many innocents would have died for his sport. Many humans would've died while Titan tried to satisfy his hunger for killing among a race of people who were no physical match for him. Clark, with his Kryptonian heritage, was equipped with the ability to defend the defenseless. For me, Titan's 'accidental' death was justified.
