When I first heard about Smallville, I was very hesitant to give the ipakita a chance. A ipakita that took place before Clark Kent became Superman seemed like a big step in the wrong direction. I feared it would be the most underwhelming Superman ipakita ever, so I avoided it for over a decade.

After giving the ipakita a chance, I can say that I'm happy to be proven wrong. If anything, I feel regret over not giving Smallville a fair chance when I first heard about it.

Smallville is a ipakita that takes place when Clark Kent is a high schooler. He has superpowers, but he doesn't yet know how to control them....
