Product: Smallville: The Complete Ninth Season (2009)
Rating: 5.0
Is it a man? Is it Clark? No.. it's Kal-el!
I've seen only a few episodes now, just got it yesterday, and I already love it!It's way darker than the earlier seasons, which is something I like. Probably more so than the previous season, it lifts Clark up into a life as an adult, a man with responsibilities, and onto his destiny as the Man of Steel.Clark will live long enough with the colours red and blue later on in life, so he discarded his colours for the time being. Now he's just a 'blur' instead of the 'red/blue blur'. The darker clothes make him more mature in a way, and less of a target to others. Red and blue can attract unwanted attention after all :)I've seen bits and pieces of what is to come, and read some of the stories about the other episodes in the booklet that came with it... I must say, I can't wait to see the rest...I've been a fan since it came out with the first season, and I'll be a fan for as long as I live...The Superman myth has always inspired me, but Smallville has done an incredibly great job in retelling the story of the Man of Steel. It's not all as we know it from the Marvell comics and the movies, but that's nothing bad... it's quite the opposite... it deepens the myth, it adds colour, it inspires...May all of you be inspired too :)
