That makes sense. Davis was supposed to be a bartender when they were going to have him be with Lois or have something with Lois, and then they moved it to Chloe, and changed him to a paramedic, and even the former doesn't sound right. Like you said, Smallville rarely goes with the "pure evil villain" archetype. They tend to prefer characters with shades of gray. Even with Zod, they gave him his moments. If they had make Davis more evil, his flip in the finale after he was separated from Doomsday would've made more sense, or at least make him more manipulative rather than sweet and sincere, which is really how he came off for most of the season.
Yeah, they could've just sent him to the Phantom Zone? He had a shot to come back from there and they could've fought again in the future. I know they had Tess destroy the crystal but that was the plan that made the most sense still. It definitely was them using a familiar name to draw attention though. On a grander scale, the MCU did that with the Civil War plot, taking a storyline that was more well known in the comics and try to adapt it and it just didn't work there either.
Huh, I knew that Lex controlled Doomsday and that is what killed Superman and his manipulation but that was it. Kind of weird and random, when Doomsday tends to be its own plot for most Superman canons. The MCU just made me tired of heroes fighting each other so I couldn't bring myself to watch it.
