CW Superman vs. IW Thor

Started by TheVaultDweller2 pages

I'm actually behind a few episodes this season. It hasn't really held my attention like the other shows have. But she has actually become more consistent in recent times, from what I can recall. She even remembers to use her super speed in combat a lot more regularly.

But eh, as I said, Superman doesn't actually have that much in the way of feats himself yet. So, going to wait for the crossover to conclude before commenting further.

As of Elseworlds, IW Thor takes this

Based on his actual feats from Elseworlds, Thor. Based on him being the same Clark from Smallville, Superman.

I think that was just a little easter egg for the fans of that show. I don't think it was meant to imply he was Smallville Superman. I could very well be wrong though, but I would wait for an official confirmation that this is indeed the case before using it in Versus threads.

Based on feats? Thor wins. We'd have to use a massive amount of scaling and assumptions for Clark to win here.

Its obvious CW is going with Supergirl>Superman. Thor wins this

You are wrong. 🙂

They used the same theme music, farm house as smallville.

He is just the continuation of smallville. They also made it pretty clear from the beginning of Supergirl

That is what is referred to as an easter egg or reference. It could also simply mean that the Smallville Universe is part of the CW multiverse (considering there are at least 90 separate Earths), and that both Clarks grew up on the same farm but on alternate Earths. Even though there are variations, a lot of Earths also have a lot in common. For example, the Earth 90 Green Arrow's costume (who is shown as one of the fallen heroes of Earth 90) matches Smallville Green Arrow's.

This article describes it as a "homage" and "nostalgic easter egg". And these are the words of the showrunners themselves.

I guess its possible.

Smallville Superman has a completely different Kara and Martian Manhunter. So no, CW Superman is not Smallville Superman.

Besides They would have just gotten Tom Welling to play him if that was their intention. And would not have gotten Smallville Lois to be Karas mum lol

Tom said he is done being Clark. He would never do it

Until he gets offered more money.

They would at least get someone who somewhat looks like him.

Besides as already mentioned continuity doesnt match. Like at all.

Based on how he looked on Lucifer, Tom doesn't really have the looks for Superman anymore. He's too old at this point, IMO. He could definitely play his dad though (either of them).

YouTube video

^ Fair point. But again too many continuity differences.

It's like Into the Spider Verse made several references to actual event which happened in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films.

But he's clearly not the Tobey Spider-Man given he has man made web shooters and Tobeys were biological.

And that was actual events and happenings from those films directly referenced. This was just the theme song. Clearly nothing more than an Easter Egg.

I wasn't saying he was any role right now. I mean that's the role I could see him playing if he ever does get involved in any Superman kind of show in some capacity again. I could see him playing either Jor-El or Jonathan Kent.

Oh yeah definitely. Like Smallvilles Lois plays Karas deceased Mum.

They like bringing the oldies back.
