Smallville Meme - Day 1

[jlvsclrk]

Sorry for not being in touch much lately. The condo sold and I thought I'd have a few days to relax but of course I was wrong - I've never been busier! I'm currently at my new place trying to get it ready to move into (prognosis: not so good!) 

Anyways, to get back in training for S10, I've snagged the Smallville 30 day meme from svgurl and numerous others

Day 01- Favorite Character

Hmmm, I have to think about this one for a while - not! Clark Kent is my favourite character by a country mile. I love Clark because he's the ultimate action star with all these amazing super powers, but he thinks nothing is finer than being a normal human being. He likes us better than we like ourselves, and is more optimistic for our future. It's that optimism that I respond to. And it certainly doesn't hurt that he comes in such a beautiful package, with a smile to light up the room. He's not perfect but when he makes mistakes, he genuinely tries to learn from them. I respect that in people. 



I've always liked the Superman / Clark Kent dynamic even from my earliest days of reading the comic, and I adored the first two movies when they came out. But that older characterization hasn't aged all that well for me - Superman was just a bit to all knowing and smug in his perfection. And I guess I'm not that much of a romantic because Clark forsaking his power for Lois in Superman 2 never sat at all well with me, not to mention turning back time in the original movie to save her. Smallville may make Clark's journey a little too rocky at times for my tastes, but at least it never let him get away with that type of behaviour.
