🇸‌🇵‌🇪‌🇨‌🇺‌🇱‌🇦‌🇹‌🇪‌🇷‌ @lemmy.world Smallville Lex was the best by a mile, because it showed the progression of the character in a believable way.
52 2 ReplyHubertManne @moist.catsweat.com he pretty much made the show and him going fully bad along with the arrival of lane was when it jumped the shark.
14 0 Replylobut @lemmy.ca Yeah I stopped when Lane got there. Up until that point I was a staunch advocate of the show. I felt the finale and premiere of some of those seasons were some of the best TV I've seen.
I mean I haven't watched it since university, not sure if it holds up, but I remember it being amazing.

Squorlple @lemmy.world The Eisenberg one is kind of misleading because he only becomes bald at the end of the movie, and also the image says “Superman Vs Batman” instead of the actual film title of “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”
23 0 ReplyAngryishHumanoid @reddthat.com It's also misleading because, while his character name was in fact Lex Luthor, he completely sucked balls and bore no resemblance to any reputable version of the character. And I should point out I do not dislike the actor, but that version just... failed in every way a character can fail.
26 1 ReplySquorlple @lemmy.world IIRC they retconned it or something by saying he was actually Lex Jr., as if that makes it better. I really do dislike when adaptations don’t even try to bear semblance to the source material and the studio just slaps the recognizable name on them for marketing (ex. the MCU’s Taskmaster or their original attempt at The Mandarin)

Blue_Morpho @lemmy.world I'm confused by The Adventures of Superboy. Google shows a 1961 BW TV show but the picture is in color and looks like late 60's.
There was a 1988 Superboy.
Edit: this is the 1988 Lex. It should be after the Gene Hackman Lex from 1978.
11 0 ReplyFlying Squid @lemmy.world OP That is definitely Lex from the 1988 Superboy.

magnetosphere @fedia.io As I recall (I haven’t seen the movie in years) Spacey was pretty damn good.
9 0 ReplyImgonnatrythis @sh.itjust.works He's good in just about every evil role. Perhaps it helps to actually be evil?
