Smallville is the best Superman thing ever made

---SPOILERS AHEAD---"My main reason is because of character development."While much of character development was good, it is far less than in the comics which have had many years to evolve them. However both have their bad moments, yet I feel that Pete Ross' reimagining was an insult to fans. They took a potentially interesting character, and turned him into a complete token black guy who was there to to do little more than tell Clark how "whack" various situations were (YouTube video) [1].The poor treatment of this character created a multiplying effect with the lazy casting. It's a show about superheroes, and they got a drug-dealing porn-star to play Superman's best friend (granted he was not so deep into the spiral, yet it still indicates how careless the casting was). Worse the actor takes offence at the being called a mere drug dealer "The fact is, I never was a drug dealer," he claims. Rather he was a drug smuggler, caught with 586 pounds of marijuana and 10,000 Oxycodone tablets [3]."...instead of just Lois Lane, Superman's reporter girlfriend."First of all, even the characters asked when he'd "Wake up and smell the Chloe?" If they had explored their decision to make Clark blind enough to not even hook up with her when they were both high on drugs (an actual event from the series, Pete got them all high on drugs to go party), it could have been an interesting one. But him with his super eyesight failed to notice this? I know he's an alien, but he's been socialized to be a human male. Second on the Lois issue, is Man Of Steel introduced an inventive new take on Lois Lane. A competent female reporter, capable of uncovering the identity of a mask-less superhero. While there was less time for character development, they did fit in more character development per hour, as she grew as a person while investigating him, cumulating in their shared respect leading to a simple kiss."Lex Luthor. ... You get to watch his slow decent into darkness and truly didn't start bad."Invalid due to destiny. There was zero room for the character to grow, as by the conclusion of the series he had to turn evil, no matter how senseless and against the prior character development it would be. We also never needed to fear for the character, since due to him having to survive to turn evil, he was never in any real danger.While I believe Smallville is a decent Superman property, it falls short of the comics, and falls well sort of Man of Steel. 1. Man of Steel had more character growth per hour.2. It had better graphics (obviously).3. It honored the characters in better ways, even having senseless bonus clips of Perry White which did nothing for the overarching story.4. It let Superman have to sacrifice his father... twice!5. Counting Christina Wren's "I think he's kinda hot." Line at the end, it was tied on babe quality (more of on a bonus category).6. Plus how many audience members cried when he had to put down General Zod? To save Earth, he literally had to destroy his own species, and then with his bare hands kill the last person who knew anything about their society.7. Heck the emotional arc for the character Zod alone made the movie worth watching. Zod, a man who just wants to save his people, and but the means to do it are ugly; then when the means are gone, he forces another to kill him since he can't go on living, this moment was comparable to Russell Crowe in Les Misérables taking his own life at the end.Smallville was good, but Man of Steel was better.Sources: [1] YouTube Video http://www.youtube.com...
