"Smallville", which had an impressive 2001-2011, was the retelling of Clark Kent (Tom Welling) in Kansas before becoming a steel man. The show was an incredible success on all fronts and is still well remembered to this day (just check out all the reactions on YouTube with tears with eyes when Welling is back for the "CW crisis of an infinite country", If you need some cordial proof). However, as far as the desired series remains, that does not mean that each of its 217 episodes was home. There were more than a few stench, with Season 6, Episode 20, "Noir" was one of the most notorious and divisors.

The episode is a predominantly black and white feature that acts as a respect for the 1940s's Noir Films, with Aaron Ashmore, Jimi Olsen, dreaming of escaping noir and serving as an investigative rapporteur two steps behind an astonishing murder case. While Ashmor remembers the episode well, Welling seems to remember things with a different lens, especially when it comes to early plans for "noir".

While talking to Ashmor and Co-Starvaza Michael Rosenbaum during an episode of Podcast "Talk Will"Clark Kent's actor admitted that he had almost refused to film the episode because of its initial musical nature. Welling said:

"That episode was supposed to be musical ... musical noir and when they brought it to me, I was literally ..." I won't prove to work and do it (that). You can shoot it. I don't sing. "

"Noir" already remains the entry of a strange ball filler on its own. If the episode went to the full "Chicago" territory, well, it seems that Welling would chew on some Shrubs of green cryptonite.

More than a decade of the show's conclusion, Noir still seems to be shared by "Smallville". On Reddit for years, fans have been constantly increasing the one -time episode. Many cite him as the least favorite and most beloved, with others defending vintage aesthetic and overall hockey. "I really enjoyed it. fan in a thread of 2024. "I liked it. Totally filler. But still is fun to watch,", another commented in the 2019 announcement.

However, for every positive memory, there seems to be a rediter who still cracks in "noir". "Bored. If you want to pay tribute to the classics, do it properly and it wasn't it," user SIMBA122504 wrote. While most viewers agree that the cast looked amazing and the production really caught what they felt in the 40s, many still couldn't pass by the episode's random coincidence as a whole. "I couldn't get into it at all," user Nonsense Basically recognized.

"Noir" seems to be forever destined to be one of the various episodes of the show. However, even after all these years, it still manages to find a loveice. In fact, there are some here on /film that think "noir" is one of the most famous underestimated episodes of "Smallville" and deserves greater gratitude!
