10 Awkward Smallville Scenes Superman Fans Want To Forget

:0:0

Summary

Some scenes in Smallville feel uncomfortable upon reflection due to inappropriate character interactions and situations.
Audience scrutiny has increased over time, highlighting problematic depictions of young characters, especially in teen shows.
The series' approach to avoiding certain superhero show tropes also created some complications and awkward moments for its run.

For a DC show that started in the early 2000s, much of Smallville has aged relatively well, but there are still some scenes that are awkward when revisiting the series. That isn’t to say these scenes weren’t awkward for viewers at the time too, and even sometimes the Smallville cast themselves. Some of these strange scenes come from elements of the show that are unique to its DC Comics-inspired premise, while others are the type of issues that many teen shows also present.
Increased audience scrutiny of media featuring young characters since Smallville’s release has also made revisiting the series a bit more uncomfortable at times. Though Smallville’s cast were legal adults at the time of filming, many of the characters in the show were meant to be teenagers. As such, some of the ways Smallville chose to present its younger characters have come to be seen as inappropriate by many modern audiences.
