I actually like Superman the best when he does super mundane stuff and is just nice to people. I believe there is an old comic where he saves a farmer from suicide because a bank wasn’t willing to pay him. So he went to the bank and told them to pay the farmer. It’s cool when he kicks ass, but it’s also cool when he helps individuals with their problems

Jonathan Kent's death would've made more sense if he had died of natural causes like a heart attack. Giving Superman more weight as even though he's the most powerful being in the universe, he can't still save everyone but when he has the ability to save he will. In this way him snapping Zod's neck would've made more sense and more impactful.

[@heatherreagan8078]

I agree. When I saw John Kent just standing there, all I could think was 'Run, you moron.' I couldn't figure out how he thought Clark, a 16-year-old in good shape, would be discovered by running faster than a guy in his 50s.

[@hunterolaughlin]

The only downside to Jonathan Kent dying from a heart attack is now every incarnation of Superman uses that plot thread. I do understand that Jonathan Kent dying from a natural causes is an effective and provocative way to teach Clark his powers can’t solve everything like something natural, but does it always have to be a frigging heart attack? Why not another natural cause like a stroke or kidney failure or cancer. There are other natural causes Jonathan Kent can die from that Clark wouldn’t be able to prevent. I just don’t get why most writers always have to pick heart attack.

[@melissalayson7275]

Even the series Smallville had John Kent die of heart attack and it way more heartbreaking than Man of Steel because we actually saw the love and bond that Clark and his adopted father had for each other in 5 seasons. Making so heartbreaking when he finally died from a from heart attack protecting Clark's secret from Lionel Luthor.

[@somerandomguyfromthebeyond1821]

oh boy... well personally I think it is in tight competition with Attack of the Clones for worse Star Wars movie to exist due to some incredibly stupid writing (like how the fuck did you manage to screw up Luke fucking skywalkers character? HOW!), very obvious political pandering (like that whole pointless venture to the casino planet for starters), displaying little regard for established lore ( the hyperspace ram scene is the obvious one), and screwed up everything JJ Abrams tried to set up in TFA. now as for Rian Johnson I do not think he should direct another star wars movie ever again and Kathleen Kennedy really needs to stop trying to shove politics to everything, look i know the hate got old quick but both of them really did do some series damage to the star wars franchise and a lot of fans are not happy about it (myself included)

I think the reason this version of superman got so much flack is because we've only known him in a particular way for so long. For so many people, seeing a hero they looked up to for their childhood in a different way and not as the optimistic superhero from the comics, it turns them away.

[@ginichilders9619]

Thing is, Superman in the comics has had plenty of moments of self doubt, despair and rage in the comics. Yes, he's largely an optimistic and positive figure, but he's not a constantly smiling sentient rainbow.

Well, it’s not like the Superman character originated as a subversive means by which marginalized jewish comic book creators in the 1930s were able to metaphorically chronicle the profound conflict experienced during that era by many American Jews, as they attempted to balance the preservation of their unique cultural identity with the relentless pressure to assimilate into mainstream American culture? Nor is it like they accomplished this by, say, building the Superman origin story and plot line around an incredibly thinly-veiled adaptation of one of the foundational stories in Hebrew scripture, the story of Moses...beginning with the tragic circumstances of his birth and his parents’ noble sacrifice, to the eventual revelation of his true heritage, to his final, triumphant redemption and reluctant acceptance of his destiny as heroic savior archetype?

Why not save that terraforming, or kryptoforming I guess, for another planet so he can expand his empire? Why would he even use it in the first place, did it not occur to him that the process would fail just like it did to those other outposts?

Second: he was TRAINED for ONE thing ONLY: SEE THAT KRYPTON AND ITS INTERESTS WERE PROTECTED. AT ALL AND ANY COSTS. He, like any SINGLE MINDED individual with only military training, would do, went STRAIGHT for a military solution. Conquer the weak species, kill all that oppose. Use all of its assets to reach his goal: remake Krypton. He didn't care at all about humans. Third: MARS IS SMALLER THAN EARTH. Its atmosphere, soil and everything on it is QUITE different from Earth too. Earth HAD, also, something Mars didn't: a biosphere, all the right ingredients and Kal El there to torment with destroying...why would a space conqueror from a ridiculously powerful race ever care about ANTS (us, by the way) when he could do everything he wanted on a nicer, more easily accessible planet? Fourth: he wanted KRYPTON back, NOT THE POWERS. HE DIDNT wanted to spend YEARS (so you know, he got used to them, well, not really, because of his MILITAR TRAINING. Not ALL Kryptonians he'd raise would be as inclined to it like he and his group were. He would need the 'civilians' at some point...and do you think US - humans - would be so nice to let superpowered beings live in peace with us? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH) getting used to the powers.

Meanwhile, after making out with Lois on top of the ashes of Metropolis and several hundred of its citizens, MoS Superman lightly glides over a tanker truck kicked at him by Zod just to turn around and watch it explode on the building behind him, causing the horrific deaths of hundreds more people by burning alive, falling through rubble and choking on debris dust, before MoS Superman finally gets the bright idea to snap Zod's neck and smash a satellite so nobody can spy on him
