Zack Snyder praises SV

Zack Snyder to Fox All Access wrote:"I'll say one thing. I'll say, thank God for Smallville. Smallville by itself, quietly has kept Superman in consciousness in a way that with out it my kids really would be like, 'Who the hell is Superman? I don't even know who the guy is!' I think that in that way Smallville has done an amazing job of just keeping that icon alive and breathing. He is on life support, but he is there. And I thank them for that."

Wow. Talk about being damned by faint praise! People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, Snydie Pants. Sucker Punch is nothing to write home about.

Thankfully smallville will be a distant memory by the time the new Superman movie is out.

My 2 year old niece and 5 year od nephew know who Superman is and they love him. They have never seen an episode of Smallville. Zack Snyder is making so many statements, as of late, pertaining to Superman. Some have had some incite into what he wants to do but other comments have been idiotic at best. I am tired of his bashing of previous movies and television shows. I hope that very soon, he will just stop talking about eveything that is wrong with Superman and make a great movie. One thing is for sure. After "Sucker Punch" it is obvious that Superman is saving Zack Snyder! Although Snyder would have you believe the opposite. Zack Snyder is not Superman's saviour. Superman is much bigger than Snyder, Nolan DC and Warners combined!

I watch Smallville. Have from the beginning. There are things I like, and things I vehemently despise about the show. Mostly, it's the vague resemblance to Superman that bothers me. In fact, I still talk to people who don't realize this is a show about Superman. Is the reason because it's so dark and depressing? Is it because Clark doesn't often act like the Superman most people know? Perhaps.

Ultimately I'm glad Smallville was on and I'm hoping they wrap it up well. I haven't really recieved any proof that they will, what with more time coming up wasted on Booster and Beetle, while we've already had drunken stupor episodes and premature relationships and meetings with other characters. But I can hope.

On the "ten years" thing. This show only lasted this long because of the network it was on. For said network, this show is a success. Lois & Clark had higher ratings, but was on a major net, and then Disney bought that net and started sweeping changes, so L & C was ended. Smallville and its' creators are fortunate to have had the WB/CW as the network for them because if not, based on history, on a major network they'd have been lucky to get past season 1.

This is from the guy who supposedly replace Fagley. So Smallville wouldn't have made it past Season 1 on another network huh?! Have you ever stopped to think that maybe it did make it because it dared to be different?! Instead of following a formulaic, 'cookie-cutter' appoach, they dared to do something different. And it worked! Gee, do you reckon that had anything to do with it?!

And that's the guy who replaced Bailey? Surprise, surprise.....

Time/Warners should pull whatever accreditation that clown has.
