There's no saving you...

Oliver is possessed by an alien force and attacks Clark.

Clark: Oliver, this isn't you. Don't let it take you over. You have to fight it.

Oliver: You're too late! There's no saving you. Is he talking about himself and if he does

is this an expression of some sort?

Clark: That's not true. You haven't always made
the right choices, and you once gave up on yourself
and those around you. I'm not giving up on you,
Oliver. You have a good heart.
Let it guide you.

Madhulk There's no saving you. " (There's no stopping it. ) It's a bit strange, but I think Oliver means that the alien force is too strong, and he will not be able to avoid completing his attack on Clark.

Hi,

He means that Clark cannot be saved. The alien force cannot be stopped from destroying Clark.

A simpler example is

eg There's no eating snacks in the classroom.
