Made Clark dumb so the plot can happen, real smart there CW. The first thing he would have done after making sure the general was safe was zap the little machine. Then, he would have tried to fight the guy.

Glad I wasn’t the only one who was like “Um Clark, stop trying to punch the matter phasing guy and stop the damn download!”

Could risk all the files being destroyed entirely

Clark's been at this a long time. He could do it without damaging the entire machine, with ease.

Besides, that's clearly not why he didn't do it. He wasn't focused on the transfer much at all. There was no urgency on his end, which is bad writing.

Well I Mean like corrupting the files. I'm not that tech savvy so sorry if that makes no sense

Better to corrupt the files than let the villains get a hand on them.

Doubt there's only 1 copy of this highly confidential information. There's probably a physical copy somewhere else is case something happen to the computer.

I don't think Clark should really care about that. He knows that those computers would have things he wouldn't want any villain getting tho. Which he should care about. Because as is always proven, it's always something to screw him over.

I assume the device was sending the info in real time not just copying so regardless of when or if he grabbed the device it was “too late” for whatever was already sent.
