Lana vs. Lois


It's a shame Lana mysteriously disappeared by Superman IV (another of the major problems with that final movie). I would have liked to see more of her. She was much prettier than Lois (although Annette O'Toole hasn't aged well in the years since thanks to her heavy smoking). But more than that, after seeing Lana, you have to wonder what the heck Clark sees in Lois. Lois always treated Clark like dirt, especially the way she would put him down in public, and it was obvious she was only interested in Superman. Lana showed real affection for Clark, like telling him she felt like she could talk to him and that he's the best. She was so sweet, saying she didn't want to be a nuisance to him. Lois was always a nuisance and she didn't care because she was completely self-centered and focused on her career. Clark took secret pleasure that Lois was interested in his alter ego, but it wouldn't have made any difference to Lana if he wasn't Superman. Lana was obviously completely into Clark since she didn't show any romantic interest in Superman after his Smallville ceremony and lunch. Between the two of them, who in his right mind would choose Lois?

Don't let the comic book fanboys read that. They'll bite your head off.

I never cared for Lois in these movies all that much myself. I know it makes me sound shallow, but I never found Margot Kidder all that attractive either. I do like Lana more, but I do like the friendship that seems to be developing between Lois and Clark, and that look she makes when she finds out Clark gave Lana that huge ring is priceless. I kind of wonder if she still suspects he's Superman, or maybe she is starting to have feelings for Clark. It is a shame SUPERMAN IV never followed through with this, but I guess Golan and Globus really did think of Lana as nothing more but a Lois substitute. Maybe that was the case, but I think it worked out very well having a new, or shall I say old love interest.

It's ironic, I prefer Lois over Lana in TV's SMALLVILLE, but Lana over Lois in the Reeve SUPERMAN movies.

"It's ironic, I prefer Lois over Lana in TV's SMALLVILLE, but Lana over Lois in the Reeve SUPERMAN movies." Same here. Erica was way hotter than Kristen. She had a better personality and was WAY hotter than the Margo Lois. Lois is my favorite Smallville character hands down. As an aside, All IMHO, of course.

Agreed. Lois was a bitch and not all that pretty. Nobody would have put up with her, and especially not a frequently-testy godlike extraterrestrial. I would have turned back time and punched Lois' mom in the belly for that kinda crap, time paradoxes be damned.

Ha ha, this comment made me LoL in real life. Then I saw your signature and laughed again :D Requiem for a Dream is a great movie but it's not something I can watch very often.

DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!

I'm also in agreement. Lois Lane here is as bad as Smallville's Lana.
