Feel bad for Lana

A lot of posts i come across , agrees with the fact , Lana's character is really a wishy- washy , dilly dally character .

Can't help rectify that , the script indeed writes her that way .

By the way , I am in season 2 and already feel bad for this character rather than annoyed .

These are some major good things I noticed about her :

1. She is not the typica popular cheer leader , high school bully .

In fact , she is really kind , empathetic person who doesn't let her beauty or fame get to the head .

She gets constantly mocked and picked upon in a passive aggressive manner by every other girl , specially Chloe . Although , they become friends later , Chloe still gets her own insecurities and jealousy get in the way and belittles Lana .

Lana wants to be more than a pretty face , volunteers for work , tries to learn new things and instead of appreciating that , Chloe makes fun of her .

2. Lana's boyfriend Whitney cares about her , but at the end of the day she is just a trophy girlfriend and treats her that way . Withholds personal information from her , ignores her emotionally , doesn't value her abilities other than her beauty .

Same with Clark and all other boys in the town .

Even Clark was not sincere with her from the start . Acting like a peeping Tom on your crush with a telescope , is just borderline creepy even if you don't actively hurt her .

3. And God knows , how that lunatic lesbian went nuts . I mean , poor girl can't catch a break !! People envy her life but , really ?

She was orphaned at a young age , the man who was her Dad didn't give a damn about her , no close friends , family , nothing .

Sure , her face card gives her things but she doesn't have a basic support in her life . What's there to envy the life of an orphan ? It's so sad , in fact , they should have been kinder to her .

4. Not much talked about the pick-me nature of Chloe but she is so insecure of Lana deep down . Lana knows that and still tries to be understanding , and a bigger person . Lana goes on a date with Clark , she goes nuts and ruins it , not my choice but everytime , she has something snarky to say .

No matter how harsh Chloe treats her , and pretends to be nice on the surface , Lana remains kind and a true friend to her .

5. And Clark , man , I loved his adoration for Lana in the first few episodes but he really doesn't deserve her .

He makes out with random girls now and then . Doesn't speak up or confess to Lana properly . Creeps on her , tries to take chances when Whitney is not there , although not actively .

I mean , from Lana's perspective , if she sees the man she secretly likes with a different girl every other week or goes missing on every date , and there's no proper answer to that , she will defo fill that gaps herself and think of him as some unreliable person .

Anyways , that's all I know till season 2 and I got spoilers where show makers literally butchered her character by Season 5 .

But she had the potential to be a solid character and not just an appendage to Clark storyline .
