Lex tells Clark his theory on the legend on the cave walls.............................................................DISCLAIMER: I own nothing - All material belongs to the WB/CW
one of the best scenes of the entire show because this explains who lex, thought out the character's history, is at his core

"it's just an allegory lex" wow someone's been paying attention in lit class! Nice vocabulary Clark! Lex really made u think with that statement "what if the hero is sgithe?" and he has a point! Heroes could become tyrants if villains weren't there to keep them in check...

Damn I remeber when Clark and Lex used to be friends.Maybe at one time Lex's motivations for doing all his shady research and technology shit was to prepare the world for all the new alien threats.Eventually it became an obsession and Lex forgot who he was

I would argue Batman is what Lex Luthor would be with a moral compass. Or Lex Luthor is what Batman would be without a moral compass.

@@pittland44 Disagree. The core motivation for Bruce Wayne is he's fear from other people losing what he had. This is a different motivation from Lex Luther, who is expressing the fear of tyranny & believing he's the best one to check that potential tyranny.

Lex was meant to be a hero. Even in the early seasons, every apparent act of kindness had something in it for him. Lex was going to end up a villain no matter what anyone did.

This was an amazing scene & shows exactly that Lex thought he was the hero by the end of Season 7. Smallville was the best interpretation of the Lex & Clark story, way better than the campy Reeve's/Hackman saga in Superman

Very creative theory that only Lex Luthor could come up with. But he forgot one thing; the legend says Segeeth is the 'bearer of darkness". Nice try though...

If you have read Nietzsche of Schopenhauer you would understand that is where Lex got his ideas. He cited Nietzsche's "Will to Power" a couple of times. Interesting theory the writers came up with for his character in this season. This is personally my second favorite season because of how Lex Luthor's character developed, and he didn't even see what he was turning into. Thoughts?
@gsutton78

Yeah, they referred to Nietzsche even in the first season. What's interesting about a Machiavellian character like Lex is his hypocrisy and he is arrogant enough to think that everyone who obtains power would use it to become a 'tyrant' simply because that's what he would become if he had great power. And after obtaining it he would proceed to wipe out any and all competition right away. Superman is actually the one who keeps Lex in check in the general mythology. In short, he is afraid of someone like himself, and this is partly what drives him. The writers and M.R. did a great job in creating a psychologically complex character.

***** Man, somebody woke up on the wrong side of the sewer. What's your issue anyway? I didn't say Clark was a saint, even though he's more moral than most humans I'm sad to say. But neither is Lex a hero. Even if he does keep Supes 'in check' , that does not make him a hero in the truest sense of the word. If a murderer kills another murderer who was just about to kill an innocent person, that does not make the former a hero, does it? If you have some insight into the 'spoon fed' answers that some of us just aren't getting, why not just explain rather than being hostile. Damn, a person can't even express a simple opinion anymore without being chewed the hell out.

Also don't forget that Lex has firsthand experience with what power does to someone in the case of Lionel and how ruthlessly he treated not only Lex but Lex's mother Lillian and everyone around him (Lionel). This is one of my favorite scenes between Clark & Lex because of the way Lex interprets the prophecy and how complex his character is and also because it's a turning point and you can see how uncomfortable Clark is in this scene knowing that it's a 50/50 possibility that one of his closest friends will end up being his greatest enemy. I really wish the deleted scene from the Australian DVD set where Lionel confronts Lex about the blade crumbling in the aftermath would have been included on all versions of the DVD set. Without that deleted scene, I thought Talisman had the best deleted scenes of the series (with that one with Clark not being there for his birthday party at the Luthor mansion because Jeremiah had already stabbed him), but with it, it's even more amazing how many good scenes they had filmed but weren't able to include in the episode's timeslot. John Schneider did an excellent job directing this episode, especially this final scene, and I wish he directed more.

@mrslefteyefan1 No, but the moral of it is power. Think of the Spider-Man philosophy: With great power comes great responsibility". Superman is the most powerful Superhero in the world, but he could potentially be deadly, Think of how he is under the influence of red kryptonite. That's the point being made. Also, think of this quote from Harry Potter: We all have light and dark inside us. What matters is the side we choose to act on. That is who we truly are".

Lex made a point if segeath is the hero, and cause Clark hasn’t really paying attention and only suspected out of misinterpreted on lex involve of a crime that he didn’t cause (yet) when his friendship with lex starting to crumble due to clark in flaw action of being naive, irrational accusing and make bad lies out of insecure which is proven🤷🏻♂️😑
