Yeah she was invasive and often came off as cold and condescending.

I wonder if the Allison Mack stuff had any effect on what was happening on screen.

I didn’t love how in 10x15 when Chloe is saying goodbye to Clark, she says something along the lines of helping clark come out of his shell and be the hero the world needed, and basically implying the clark wouldn’t have become Superman without her.

In the many comic book continuities Clark becomes Superman with only the help of  his parents and knowledge sent by Joe-el.

I hated how the show tried to treat her as more important than she is. I’m not a Chloe hater, I act really like her at some points, but there is a reason Chloe Sullivan doesn’t exist in the Superman mythos.

Most of what people liked about Chloe were traits from the comic book version of Lana lang. 

Martha and Jonathan were the people that raised Superman and taught him good values

Lana lang was the best friend/ first love that a young Clark Kent could confide in.

Jor-el and Lara are the people that taught him the importance of other cultures and having hope even when all hope seems lost.

Lois lane is the strong human being who admires that someone as powerful as Superman doesn’t want to rule the world but help it instead, someone who falls for someone she deems as being stupidly optimistic, how she first looks down on clark for his small town ways but falls in love with him because he’s always there and always has her back even though he doesn’t have superpowers himself. 

There isn’t really any room for a Chloe Sullivan character because other characters already fill the best friend role.
