The creators of Smallville reveal what they'd change about the Superman show. 'The Clark-Lana thing played out way too long. Something else had to happen there.'
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar reveal what they would do differently if they could revisit Smallville, discussing what story decisions they would change about the young Superman television series. The coming-of-age superhero series aired on The WB and the CW for almost 10 years, running for 10 seasons.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an interview with THR discussing the release of their most recent series, Netflix's Wednesday, Gough and Millar reflected on Smallville's impact and legacy, discussing what they would do differently if they had the opportunity to change the series.
Gough: The Clark-Lana thing played out way too long. Something else had to happen there. I think that was one that got a little repetitive. My younger daughter is now, finally after Wednesday, she’s going back to watch Smallville, and she’s in season two. She goes, “What’s the deal with these two?” I’m like, “It was a different time.
Furthermore, Smallville's success led to the later success of the Arrowverse, as it inspired both The CW and Warner Bros. Television to bring more characters to television as opposed to theatrical productions. During Smallville season 6, discussions were held to create a spin-off centered on Justin Hartley's Green Arrow, though the actor refused as he did not want to detract from Smallville as it aired.
While Smallville has been off-air for over a decade, the series has continued to have a lasting impact on audiences who grew up with the show. Between talk of potential Smallville continuations and the show's impact on how companies have adapted superheroes to television, it is clear that the show remains a talking point for both viewers and creatives.
