Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF DC Studios While waiting to see the film yet again in theaters, I've consumed every bit of media from the Superman cast, including this interview with Vanity Fair: View this video on YouTube youtube.com In this interview (and many others), David Corenswet has gone on the record to say that Tom Welling's Superman from Smallville was his favorite growing up. Vanity Fair / Via youtu.be Me and David have that in common. Now, I grew up watching Smallville â€" a staple in big brother/little sister '90s households, IMHO â€" but I haven't watched it since it aired! So, I figured, now is as good a time as any to rewatch Smallville and give you my honest thoughts! Tap to play GIF Tap to play GIF The WB / Hulu It's what David would want. So, without further ado, here's every thought I had while watching the first episode of Smallville in my adult life. Before we jump in, here's the synopsis Hulu gives for Smallville in case you know nothing about the show: "After a meteor shower bursts from the heavens, raining destruction on the unsuspecting citizens of Smallville, years pass, and the healing process leaves the town's inhabitants with scars and secrets. From the ashes of tragedy, a popular yet awkward teen attempts to decipher the meaning of his life and his clouded past." 1. Ah yes, Smallville, the creamed corn capital of the world! The WB Population is about to go up to 25,002! 2. Who is this topless man and why is he tied up in a corn field? The WB More on him later! 3. OK, Smallville was devastated by the meteor shower that hit their town, the very same shower that brought Clark Kent into Jonathan and Martha's lives: The WB It also took the lives of Lana's (Clark's future love interest) parents and all of Lex Luthor's hair (hence his life-long obsession with the meteor shower and, therefore, Clark!) 4. Oh, look at this precious lil nugget! The WB All Martha and Jonathan wanted was a kid of their own, and now they got one! I, personally, would've asked a few more questions, but to each their own! 5. Precious lil nugget grew up NICEEEEEEEE: The WB I cannot believe that a boy with a face like this isn't the most popular kid in school. 6. Enter Miss Lana Lang! The WB Chloe, one of Clark's best friends, says that it's "scientifically impossible for Clark to get within five feet of Lana Lang." Lo and behold, it's because she's wearing a kryptonite necklace!!! But Clark doesn't know that that's his only weakness (yet!!!) 7. Remember that topless man from earlier? He's back! The WB It's a tradition at Smallville High. Every year, for the Homecoming game, the football team picks a poor freshman to tie up â€" sans clothes â€" in the cornfield and paints an "S" on his chest. Even though the meteor hit town over a decade ago, the original freshman that Lex saw in the cornfield â€" unaged, I might add â€" has come back to take his revenge! 8. Not entirely sure why Clark was hanging out by the highway, but good thing he was, because he was there to save Lex Luthor when his car accidentally takes them both off the road and into the lake: The WB He's not even Superman yet and he's already out here saving lives! 9. Lana's giving her forgettable jock boyfriendâ"¢ her kryptonite necklace...which means...that Clark can go near her! The WB EEEPPP! 10. Ahh, topless man is going around and killing the men responsible for tying him up all those years ago: The WB Hell hath no fury like a high schooler scorned. 11. OMG! Clark knows he was adopted, but not all the details...so he's known he was different all his life, but not why...and now he knows HE was the meteor attack that hit Smallville all those years ago: The WB Can't blame the Kents...how do you tell your son that you found him on the side of the road after he fell from the sky? 12. Nice to know that just 'cause you're an alien, that doesn't mean you're immune from teen angst: The WB Superheroes, they're just like us! 13. BUT IT IS HIS FAULT! Not the best start to a budding romance... The WB ...but their love will prevail! I know I'm jumping ahead of myself, but I love their love! Lois Lane can wait! 14. I SHIP, YOU SHIP, WE SHIP! The WB Move over Lana's forgettable jock boyfriendâ"¢, there's a new sheriff in town! 15. LOL, Lex...

It's not that Jonathan doesn't like you 'cause you're bald...it's 'cause you're an asshole: The WB LutherCorp isn't exactly a friend to the little man. Big corporations and small family-owned farms tend not to mix well. 16. Why does this sound like a threat? The WB On one hand, I get that Lex is thankful to Clark for saving his life...on the other hand, Lex, you're a grown
