I have no interest in watching Welling ruin Superman any more than he already has.

And neither does Welling himself.

How's that?

hell yeah he should have been Superman I hope that one day Tom will play the role agin.

I wanted him as man of steel. He would have been better

reply

No. He would not "have been better". He is a plank of wood who has no interest in playing Superman.

I've not watched all of Smallville yet but I can say that in the first and second seasons alone Tom Welling is a good actor and emotes more than Henry Cavill was ever allowed to do in the reboot that split fans down the middle. I will even go as far as saying in the pilot by itself Tom Welling shows a range of emotions that no other 'recent' actors who have played the character on the big screen have gotten to do and I went into the series thinking a mannequin would be playing the lead. So I'm not really seeing where you get plank of wood from unless you mean Superman from Man of Steel. But then again I don't favor any of these actors who have played Superman and can judge accordingly.

Ruin? You're an idiot.

Wether you liked Smallville or not, IT BROUGH IN NEW SUPERMAN FANS. If you didn't like the series, that's fine. but be happy that's it was a series that brought more fans into the Superman fandom or else Superman would've slowly faded away in the publics conscious. Something Zack Snyder himself even acknowledged.

Superman will never fade from public conscious, or if he will it won't be until after you and I are dead. Smallville or not, Superman is too iconic to fade away like that.

Tom Welling was Clark Kent in Smallville, he played Superman for like 5 minutes in the series finale, almost every time he flew in Smallville, it was because he was under the influence of Red Kryptonite. I started watching Smallville when it aired it's first episode on the WB, that was like 5, or 6 years prior to the WB becoming the CW. I didn't jump into watching Smallville in Season 2, 3, or 7, I didn't wait until it got canceled to watch it, I was watching it every week, when they aired a new episode. I know that a lot of you who commented didn't start watching Smallville when it aired it's Pilot episode, then you say that the first two seasons suck. Tell me, what series starts out on the top, even The 100, The 4400, among other TV Series didn't start out perfect, all TV Series has to start slow to be able to tell the beginning of the story, they can't rush a story because the audience gets bored. If Smallville sucked like a lot of you think and/or say, it wouldn't have lasted for 10 seasons. When it comes to 60 minutes TV Series, they make it 3 to 7 seasons on average, the only 60 minute TV Series that has made it past season 10 in the past couple of years is Bones and Supernatural, those are two out of hundreds, maybe even thousands of 60 minute TV Series in the past two to three years.
