Smallville - Michael Rosenbaum | Lex Luthor #28: "I promise I'm not a criminal mastermind."

**eternalfate** · 03-10-2019, 12:18 PM

Welcome to the 28th Appreciation Thread
for Lex Luthor/Michael Rosenbaum

Why do we love this guy? Rainstorm said it best:

"Lex Luthor is my favourite Smallville character. He's very good looking especially for a bald guy. He can be serious and joke around when the times are right. He is pretty devoted to his friends especially with Clark, Chloe, and Lana. Michael Rosenbaum is pretty opposite from his character Lex. He seems like such a fun, witty friendly guy."

Anyone else a fan of this amazing actor/character?

"You were right about me all along, Mr. Kent. I am the villain of the story"

4.17 Onyx

[Lex to Perry White] "I'm warning you. Stay away from me, and stay away from my friends. Trust me, there won't be any blood on my hands when they find what's left of you"

3.5 Perry

[Lex to Lana]"Do you think I'd look better with hair?"

5.11 Lockdown

[Lex to Clark]"It's ironic. In the most remote solitude I still managed to find an enemy. I suppose I was just hallucinating from malaria, but the enemy I found was real. I got a good look at myself, or at least the part I've always tried to ignore"

3.2 Phoenix

[Lex to Lionel]"I was raised in your shadow and now, you're going to die in mine."

7.16 Descent

[Lex to Clark]"I've always been fighting my destiny, trying to avoid becoming my father. But we all have certain genes that, no matter how much we want to change, dominate us"

2.23 Exodus

[Lex to Lionel]"Another important lesson you taught me: the greater the trust, the greater the betrayal"

6.4 Arrow

"You see, I don't want to do good things, I want to do great things"

"It's good to be the king."

Another new thread! Looks like the OP should be updated.

**eternalfate** · 03-10-2019, 12:44 PM

^ Yup... all in good time.

a fine mess · 03-10-2019, 06:19 PM

Lex will be in the next episode, not this one.

**eternalfate** · 03-10-2019, 06:27 PM

^ Oh too bad... next week it is.
I saw the trailer for the Lex episode though that's why I assumed it was this Sunday. lol

a fine mess · 03-10-2019, 06:28 PM

I thought so too!

They are promoting the episode early!

First time seeing Jon's Lex on the actual show (preview/trailer for the next episode), and still don't see it.

He has scruff and he looks old.

The Lex's I grew up on did look old.

Michael portrayed the youngest one... and obviously the one from DCEU....

So... the age doesn't bother me if it's written right.

a fine mess · 03-10-2019, 07:02 PM

Looks matter to me.

Of course it matters how well they are written too. I liked Jesse's Lex. I know people say he was like The Joker, but that makes them more evil to me - when they laugh about their evil/bad deeds.

True psychopaths.

Well, the first Lex I know is MR's so I expect them all to follow his example.

**eternalfate** · 03-10-2019, 07:23 PM

^ Not me because I'm use to see Lex for a long time. lol And I am actually more use to seeing the older version of Lex who is a mess. lol

MR obviously portrayed the most likable version of Lex.

So if you can act and sell your character, I'm on board.

a fine mess · 03-10-2019, 07:40 PM

Good to know MR was most likable. Yeah!!!

**eternalfate** · 03-10-2019, 07:42 PM

^ He was written that way.

The only Lex to actually start off good.
We never really got Lex past... although this wasn't an authentic past because we all know Clark and Lex aren't suppose to know each other until Clark becomes Superman. lol
But Smallville did everything different, mostly when it came to the biggest relationships' in Clark's life in Lois and Lex.

It ended up working though!

a fine mess · 03-10-2019, 07:43 PM

I don't know any different.

I mean, I heard that they don't know each other until later in their lives, but I'm glad we got them as friends in SV.

Well Smallville did a lot of things differently and it made the show more successful I believe.
