In the beginning of Smallville season 5, Clark was warned that tragedy was coming when Jor-El had to bring Clark back to life. Jor-El told Clark that another life would have to be traded for his.
Clark went to the Fortress of Solitude and convinced Jor-El to let him undo it. His cosmic arrival had scattered mutational meteor rock throughout Smallville, a canny plot device that created a Krypton factory line of freaks and empowered geeks for him to contend with.
This X-Files flavour enhanced the angsty teen melodrama, which mostly involved Clark mooning over local beauty Lana Lang Kristin Kreuk. Their meet-cute involved Clark retrieving a drowning Lex and giving him mouth-to-mouth. That moment of lifesaving intimacy seemed to hang over the next several seasons, as the amoral corporate raider and the sturdy farmboy repeatedly clashed. It was this tempestuous bromance that gave Smallville its compelling heat-vision crackle and launched a million exploratory fan-fictions.
So true, thank you! Hahaha, wow. People are still gettng "Mortal" confused with "Hidden". Jor-El put Clark in a no win situation, by taking his powers away then bringing him back at the cost of another person's life.
But his actions did indirectly cause Johnathan's death. I think they had a very trusting relationship, but at the time they were all so overcome with grief it fell apart.
Happens with the best of families. That said, I think Jonathan was an amazing father. What a strong man to endure all he had to and put his family first all the time. Yet I do think he was too harsh on the nicer version of Lex and too high on a pedestal, which even he himself had to admit to his senator friend later on down teh line. Still a great person and parent, but of course with flaws. Jonathan's heart was already bad after he rescued Clark from his Red-K self, so in that sense his death was Clark's fault, but it didn't necessarily have anything to do with Clark saving Lana.
Clark did not kill Jonathan Kent. Thats sort of absurd. Thats like saying every child that stresses their parents - who end up having a heart attack later in life are responsible for their death in some way. Jonathan knew what he was doing when he accepted the powers to harness Clarks red ring rampage. A moment in his life that could have potentially blown all of his cover and put him on the radar list of bad and good people alike.
Jonathan Kent died like a hero. A man who devoted his entire life to his son. To protect him and rear him like a real man. Helping him control his powers, as a human being trying to interact with an alien son who has the powers of mythical God- its truly an amazing effort. In reality he looked to be in very good shape, Farm work kept him healthy. He wasnt a smoker or drinker. Plus he was tough as hell. One would imagine in order for someone to die from a heart attack at that age and in that condition, would have required incredible stress at some point in life.
I am suprised that Lionel didnt come clean with his attentions to protect Clark when they had that final confrontation. My guess is that they wrote in Lionels changes later on, because at the time- Lionel didnt seem to be to interested in helping Clark.. This was pre-Jor El Lionel.
That stress and fear of the confrontation, the reality of Clark being exposed brought on a panic- combine that with the stress of full blown fight.. Clark has been dealing with the guilt of his fathers death, and his real fathers death his whole life. Plus those around him who have been hurt just because of their friendship with him, its completely unfair to blame it on Clark.
Not reality at all. Clark is no more responsible for Jonathon's death than Lex was for Duncan's. Neither of them directly caused the deaths, but both Clark and Lex set into motion a chain of events that eventually led to JK's and Duncan's deaths. Although, in Duncan's case, Oliver also bears responsibility. One could argue that JK and Duncan both are ultimately responsible for their own deaths because they made the decisions that led to those deaths.
But what led them to make those decisions? Duncan would never have stepped backwards into that street if he had not already been rattled by the pummeling he had just received from Lex and JK would never have gone to Jor-El and accepted those powers if he had not been desparate to bring Clark back home. The difference is whereas Lex just snapped and spontaneously reacted to Duncan's perceived betrayel, Clark chose to put on that red-K ring and run away knowing exactly what affect it would have.
As humans, we interact with others everyday and the truth is we never know what kind of effect our actions will have on others. That is why it is so important to always live our lives ethically and honestly As for Lex throwing that particular barb at Clark in this episode. Well, why not? Clark once threw a similar accusation at Lex back in season 2 when Lionel was shot. And that was when Clark was supposed to be Lex's "friend". Tit for Tat. I think it was just the timing of it.
Lex had only just murdered his own Father, and then he had the audacity to accuse Clark of killing his own Father as well. Even when that wrong decision caused the death of an unborn child, and almost the mother? No I don't think it's wrong to "bash" the 17 year old. It's called parenting, and if it wasn't done, Clark would not be the responsible young man he is.
And I know not all of you feel he's responsible, but he is a lot more responsible than a lot of people out there in the world. Jonathan stopped to comfort his Traumatized Son out of love.
As opposed to blowwing his Heart out fighting Lionel. He would have lived. And for the record Its Lanas fault. Clark could have made it to the fortress if he ran AFAP but he was more obsessed with grabbing Lana's hair than his destiny. It looks like many people missed the real meaning of the scene with Lex telling Clark that he Clark was responsible for Jonathan's death.
Lex was really trying to push Clark's buttons showing just how dark and evil he has become but instead of reacting, Clark showed how his character has progressed and how he no longer beats himself up for his fathers death. His character is becoming much more "Supermanesck" and away from the teenage farmboy. Much like how Jor-el has tried to instill in him. It was a great display of good Clark vs.
Anyway, that what I took out of this scene Has this not been said before on SV? I remember it specifically from "Persona," but Lana said it, so it could always be wrong. I think in the back of Clarks mind he was hoping that Lex would die but it was Jonathan instead.
Clark did not kill his father. Jonathan Kent is a mortal, he would have died anyway; his medial condition was too severe to handle too much physical strain. While there, he gets his parents some fruit from a nearby tree, and they then return back to their time. Clark is horrified to discover that the fruits actually contain something called the Fever Plague, a fatal disease with no known cure. He searches the globe to find one, even enlisting the help of Lex Luthor, but it is all in vain.
Once again, Martha passes without much of a send-off, but Pa manages to tell Clark to uphold law and order before he too dies. After the "Death of Superman," Jonathan Kent that died, but it wasn't permanent. In past issues, Superman has already been killed by the creature Doomsday, and Ma tells the doctors that her husband has been getting worse and worse ever since his death.
They try to revive him, but the issue ends with him flat-lining.
