10x21 Finale

Finally! I did it! It took me 18 months to finish this! I kinda feel liberated and sadly I can’t say I’m gonna miss it (even tho I know I will) cause at first this felt as a companion but after a while it was more like a chore. I started the show back in April 2020, when the pandemic was in its first weeks, I was scared and confused kinda like teen Clark, and I finished it exactly 20 years after its premiere, and 18 months after I started watching, and let me tell you, I don’t feel like aged Clark who’s become his best and superior self Superman, I feel more like Lana Lang at her lowest, dark Lana, heartbroken Lana, Lana when we all thought “damn poor girlie.”
So a little something about me, I graduated college back in december 2019, my classes ended at 9 pm and part of my college routine was coming home and watching an episode of a supernatural/teen show after a long day, I watched shows like shadowhunters, lucifer, tvd, the originals, etc, so when I found this show on amazon I was like this is it, this is the show I’m watching when I come back home after a long day at WORK, so january-march 2020 I didn’t get a job, and april 2020 I was like okay I’m gonna start watching now and there’s so many episodes that I’m gonna get a job before I finish watching it! But I kept watching and I never got a job! So it’s been 18 months of me applying to jobs and getting rejected, of me being locked up in my house, of me still feeling scared, confused, lonely and of me watching this show! So this show’s been with me at my darkest and lowest moments and I will forever hold it close to my heart, but also I feel liberated cause it’s been the worst months of my life and I wanna believe that by finishing watching this show I kinda restarted time, or like it’s gonna be a new era, I truly hope so. I can’t wait to look back at these months and remember this show with affection, while also enjoying a brighter and happier life. And I promise I’m gonna rewatch the show when I have a job!
Yes this is way too personal and tmi for a trakt tv comment, but this is my diary. And here’s hoping for a better future. I hope this show serves as a companion to others too.
And now about the finale:
Finale part 1:_
- Lois is so damn dramatic cause not even Clark himself wants to be on duty 24/7, like is he not supposed to sleep, eat, poop?
- I don’t agree with them selling the farm, yes to moving to metropolis but not selling it cause that should be their home base (also it’s never clarified what happens to it)
- The wedding being jeopardize by evil forces felt out of a telenovela but okay Clois forever
- HE WALKED WITH HER SO SHE WOULDN’T WALK DOWN THE AISLE ALONE!!!!! That’s the cutest sweetest most romantic gesture ever!!
- I did tear up a little with Jonathan at the church
- Are you telling me none of the recurring actors were available or contacted to come back for the wedding???? Lois’ dad and sister? Emil?? PETE? The martian? Any of the justice league guys?? Black canary?? Even Cathy?
- And gotta admit Chloe’s last shot was cool, walking away badass-ly, but the reasoning was dumb, cause Clark could’ve taken her to Star City in a second and be back, so she should’ve said she was going to Watchtower to fix the servers or whatever. ALSO WHY WASN’T OLIVER W HER IN THE FUTURE SCENES? just his bow, that wasn’t enough for me

Finale part 2:
- Tess saying a Lex clone isn’t posible, but we’ve met three clones, the old Lex, Alexander and Conner, so?
- And I always felt Lionel deserved a better send off, but I hate they brought back this disgusting version of him, and I’m glad Tess shot him!
- And I’ve been expecting Lex, I never felt he got a good closure, and the toymaker/bomb in the truck never made sense to me, but I don’t vibe with this Frankenstein version. But obviously Michael’s acting was amazing. But like no memory wiping would be strong enough for him and the president story line I don’t know... cause on one hand Lex was always advertised as this evil counterpart for Clark, but he left before he could reach peak villain, so there’s room for development but that doesn’t matter if he can’t remember his history with Clark, that’s what made him! So instead of this frankenstlex situation, we had gotten a Lex who survived the fortress implosion, but woke up somewhere else and from afar he’s been building his empire back up and planning his revenge and he’s been fueled and helped by darkseid, so OUR Lex is the one who comes back and he has a final face off with Clark.
- TESS? :( That was sad, but the saddest part was that nobody cared, and also I read that in the season 11 comics she’s brought back as an IA, that’s sick
- And THE FLYING! THE SUIT! And Jonathan giving him the suit was the greatest gesture ever
- And I feel like we were missing a last scene of them together in 2011 maybe back at the farm, like something to wrap things up, the closure scene
- And I didn’t get why are they getting remarried 7 years later, that’s so random, that final scene should’ve been Clois and maybe Chloe and Oliver at the farm finishing the wedding

Now about the show:
I love it so much, it was my confort show, my companion through the most difficult times, it’s a great show. A couple of plot lines irritated me (VERITAS), and some others got lost and deserved better development, same with the recurring characters, most of them were underused, and I hate the show/writers/producers never bothered developing that continuity or filling that’s needed for a show to be great. It was insane that last season only had 4 main actors, and there were episodes with only 3 of them! There was so much potential and material: justice league, suicide squad, the martian, KARA!! Kara being underused was the biggest tragedy ever.

I really expected that ending...
I didn't like everything...
Lois having doubts about the wedding...
Chloe helping, it was something I expected...
Then the talk of Clark and Martha (his mom), bothered me (but it was to give rise to the sequence of the chapter), because of how the character had been, I felt that I disenchanted a lot with the attitude he had shown ...
And how it is resolved I loved it, the scene itself was very nice....
Tess and her kidnapping by SPOILER (Lionel Luthor), it was weird, in past chapters they showed something of SPOILER (Reviving Lex), and I feel that in this last chapter it came out little, but as always having good dialogues...
The appearance of Darkside in front of Lionel (after being stabbed by Tess) to revive Lex, and giving his soul, that sacrifice ...
Watching Lex take off his mask,I got excited at that moment....
Clark arriving at the Luthor Mansion, uff....
It made my skin crawl, to see Lex talking to Clark again after so long...
That scene didn't need anything...
I remembered the scene where Oliver gets his Omega mark (Darkside mark) erased, and it was good a little scripted there, but it was good....
Lois on the plane with the president....
Something that I thought was good and bad, is that Darkside will take Lionel's body, to go confront Clark....
I loved how after being thrown by Darkside, Clark listens to Jor-El and shows him scenes from the 1st episodes, what he tells him I loved....
And to see that scene of him flying with a strength and speed worthy of Superman...
obviously seeing him in the suit was incredible....
although I would have liked to see him more with it....
he stops Darkside and ends up very obvious...
and the end...
chloe telling the story to her son, who gives us signs of being oliver's son...
7 years have passed, they're just about to get married...
jimmy olsen's brother appears,who was meh....
and a bomb appears in an elevator and we see it go up to the roof showing tremendous pectorals and showing us the logo of SUPERMAN.....
What a great episode.....
