My Take
I'll admit I owe Alfred Gough more than I realized. Smallville shaped a generation's idea of Superman, and Wednesday became a global phenomenon decades later, both bearing his fingerprints alongside longtime partner Miles Millar. What impresses me is the longevity: staying creatively relevant across so many years and formats is brutally hard, and he's done it as a behind-the-scenes architect rather than a face on camera. I have deep respect for storytellers who quietly engineer the worlds millions grow up inside. From a small Maryland town to defining pop culture, that's a craftsman's career worth admiring.
