“you must think i’m pretty weird” - sv 1X01

Clark has loved Lana since he was a young child, exactly as he was first developing his powers. His parents taught him to be careful and vigilant otherwise “they” will take him away. So imagine you're six, seven, eight years old and instead of running free and getting into scrapes, you're hyper aware of your own existence and how it can alter everything in your life. The Kents (rightly) didn't sugarcoat it. “They” are not kind, understanding people. “They” can use you and sell you out. It's not “you can't trust anybody”, it's that trusting anyone brings you one step closer to “them.” So for all of his adolescent years, Clark compartmentalizes his life into three categories: what is normal (what everyone else is and has), what isn't normal (what he is and can do), and what can be done within the confines of both. He starts to challenge his upbringing, directly (he wants to try for football, the most normal all-American thing there is, but ofc the dangers are too great) and indirectly (everything with Lex).

Everything Lana represents is normal and normalcy (esp in the first episode, until the graveyard scene). She begins the show as the girl next door who is the cheerleading squad leader, and she is dating the football quarterback. She is a perfect student. Not only is she the most popular girl in school, but she is also kindhearted, sweet, perceptive and independent. Clark (and literally everyone else) sees her as entirely perfect. And this is further exacerbated by the metaphor of Clark becoming sick whenever he is around her. The closer he is to her, the more he is reminded that he isn't normal like her and can't have her and so cannot have a normal life. So much of his grief is the physical barrier his very body creates for himself against the normal world. He cannot be near her. He cannot play football for fear of hurting someone. The episode even ends with the immense distance between himself and Lana after the fantasy of having her in his arms.

The graveyard scene in the pilot is fascinating in that it's a microcosm of Clark and Lana's entire relationship. First it establishes that Clark's perception of Lana is informed entirely by his romanticism of her life. He would never think she's the kind to visit a graveyard at night to speak to her dead parents. And because she's in a position to make HIM feel better, though he does validate her feelings, it’s more to keep in tact his perception of her, she’s NOT weird at all for talking to her dead parents at night, which makes sense since he just found out his parents sent him away to another planet and he can never talk to them either. Second, and this is VERY important imo and speaks to Clark's romanticism of her, before that moment in the graveyard THEY'D NEVER HAD AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION BEFORE! And while they bond and share feelings, Clark doesn't actually tell her anything. This will be a staple of their relationship: this inability to reveal the whole truth out of insecurity. It's innocent when it begins bc they are so young and are starting to really know each other, but it is this constant refusal to tell the whole truth that leads to all their breakups.

And third: Clark seeks refuge from his abnormal life in Lana's normalcy but not only does he not reciprocate when she shares things, he doesn't seem to acknowledge that Lana is lost, confused and grieving as well as being all these perfect things he sees her as. She’s as complex a person as he is with conflicting traits, but like I said, he almost… absolves her weirdness of being at the graveyard at night. She has alleviated his pain on the night he's discovered the most important fact of his life, of being an alien, and the moment becomes about THAT, not about the fact that Lana is also struggling.

#mystuff #smallville #(another) great sv rewatch #the only one who doesn't think lana lang is perfect is lana lang #the spends the rest of the series after this episode breaking out of that bubble and literally no one wants her to #not even clark
