I understand your objections, but I also think that might have been part of the point. Lex had the deck stacked against him from the start. The entire town, with the sometimes exception of Clark, was just waiting for him to turn evil, and like a bunch of small town hypocrites they cut him absolutely zero slack despite their own moral failings. Lex had the potential to be good, but it was snuffed out of him. Lex Luthor is Smallville’s legacy as much or more than Superman is. Lex is their self-fulfilling prophecy.

This is how I choose to interpret Lex's storyline because otherwise the entire series is just too stupid to enjoy, but I honestly don't think it was entirely (or even mostly) what was intended. I think a lot less people would have been upset by how things went down if the writers didn't seem so convinced that their hypocritical "heroes" were right all along and that Lex deserved everything that happened to him because he was just inherently evil.

Yeah, that's always like I interpreted it, while also bein 99.99% sure that the people making the show never thought of it.
