Why Perry White is “necessary” for Smallville
We’ve had Brian & Kelly tell us since season eight, that their trying to align with the mythos. What part of aligning with the mythos involves ghosts & dead characters, who aren’t essential to Clark becoming Superman? I love Jonathan to death, and was super glad to see him, and still glad to have saw him, but if they can have a person who died 5 years ago come back for season ten, they can have a person who is vital to Clark’s career return for a short cameo.
Lois looks up to Perry, and has become an important person to her career. He will be extremely important to both Clark & Lois’s careers once Clark becomes Superman. There is no other Editor in Chief that both Clark & Lois respect more than Perry White.
The finale will be about Clark as Superman. Perry has to be a part of it. Just like Lois should be the one naming Clark Superman in her first Superman article.
Whether people like it or not, aligning with the mythos involves Perry White. Not, JLA, Lionel, Conner or any other characters that come and go. Perry White will always be there!
Don’t get me wrong, it’s great seeing the characters, but they’re not a part of what makes Superman so great. They aren’t a part of what make’s Superman’s identity “Clark Kent” the reporter what he is. They don’t have what Perry White brings to Superman. If these people can be on Smallville, so can Perry White who is necessary, and very important to the comics and the show.
