Wrong again. Do you even look something up before you try to dispute someone on a forum, or do you enjoy failing miserably and looking like a Ducking retarded waffle?

See what I did there. I clicked a button. Now please show me where Smallville is.
Now that's a type of spinoff, you Ducking dumbass. With your logic, algebra IS math. Good thing you aren't in charge of anything. It has nothing to do with the specific actors, it has everything to do with the characters they portray and multiple viewpoints of a larger story encompassing or relating the two. Since you probably haven't clicked the link above, let me quote for you:
It is connected to the original story. A boy named Clark (Kal-El) who lands from an escape pod from the planet Krypton in a small town (unoriginally named Smallville) in the US and has super powers on the planet Earth. It is a spinoff.
You seriously are getting dumber by the second. How the hell are you comparing Algebra and Math with TV shows. Seriously...
Technically a Spin-off doesn't require specific actors, however it does require the same characters, now it would be quite weird to cast a new person for a spin-off about 1 of the old characters. The whole reason for a spin-off is to get people to keep watching the show, which gets accomplished if you take a character with you.
As for it being connected... well motherfucking DUH! holy poop dude, that is the most retarded comment ever... it's Superman you dipshit, it's not connected, it IS Superman. You know all those Superman comics and all, well there are a lot of them, they use those stories, backgrounds and all of that to write Smallville. The same with all the other stuff, TV series, cartoons, movies, and not just for Superman either, for lots of them. They call these adaptations.

Seriously, how can you not get this, how Ducking retarded are you? Should I start feeling bad for the insults because you actually are a Special person? Normally I just assume someone is just 1 big dumb idiot, but with you I'm actually starting to believe you really are retarded.
Now start accepting the fact that you are wrong, as usual, and that you just can't tell the difference between a spin-off and a adaptation because your dad tried to beat you to death as a baby to save a few bucks. May I say that I regret that he failed in doing so.
