The complete sh*show of Superman in the last 20 years proves how good Smallville was

Obviously, talking about live action. DC animated has been fantastic.
While I liked MOS, I get why some don't care for it. Superman Returns wasn't great and wasn't terrible, but that in and of itself is the problem. Gunn's Superman (and Supergirl) are there, and that's it.
But Smallville was great. It captured the lore/mythos of the characters while worldbuilding in a way that set the table the super MAN Clark would become.

Curious what you thought of Krypton. I loved the show and wish there was more. The Lobo episode was my favorite.

Have never seen it, so can't speak to it.

Like others, I really enjoyed the series, and I got into it late. So the series ended about five years before I would start it. Well done and most episodes were really good. Tempted to test their replay value instead of trying to watch the new Superman stuff.
Superman Returns was ok, but really unnecessary. If Man of Steel was on its own for modern Superman movies, I'd say one is plenty. Just flooding the market with movie after movie with the same character(s) is so uninspiring.

Does it actually age well? I've never watched it. Felt it looked too high school drama-like.
