Lex and Clark's Weird Age Gap Friendship
When i first watched Smallville, It didn't occur to me that it was weird that Lex and Clark were friends but after getting older and a few re watches, I don't understand why more people in the universe aren't concerned about their friendship.
In Season one Lex is 21 years old and he chooses to eventually become best friends with Clark who in season one is supposed to only be 14, and no one not Clark's parents or the kids at school find it weird that a fully grown adult is best friends with a teenage boy not to mention Lex spends a lot of his time hanging around underage children.
Now I know it doesn't look weird to the audience because both Michael Rosenbaum and Tom Welling are much older than the characters they play, Michael was 29 I believe and Tom was 24, but even then in universe people should be more weirded out by their friendship.
