Because you are placing blame on Superman for things he didn't do and are distorting the facts of what happened and why. Show me where It was Superman that flattened the city and not the terraforming beam. You are saying that it was infact Superman who destroyed the city and not the Kryptonian machine or the other Kryptonians, I'd like to know where in the film when the Earth is getting literally humped by two machines it's not them but Superman doing it.
Ok, without Googling, what do I know about Superman? Name, Kal-El, son of Jor-El, Kryptonian, adopted parents Jonathan and Martha Kent, works at the Daily Bugle as a reporter by the name Clark Kent. Gets his powers from our yellow sun. Love interests have included, but not limited to, Lois Lane, Lana Lang, and Wonder Woman, all whose names and last names seem to start with the same letter. First issue featured a cover of him lifting a car and it's current market value was like $10 mil. During the war soldier protested at the notion that a comic book character fight against the Nazis since he is not real and it diminished their actions some toon solving the very much real war. The very first Superman cartoon cost a $1 million an episode, this is the quantity the studio gave as a deterrent to produce the show since they didn't want to do it but when the they said yes the studio had no choice since the amount was too large to say no to. Superman's best friend is often either Batman or his 'buddy,' Jimmy Olsen, who has a watch that emits a high frequency sound that allows him to call at him if there is ever any trouble. First time he died was against a creature called Doomsday. Theres a lot more but I can't remember off the top of my head.
Truth, Justice, and the American way? That's what you wanted out of this movie? If you think it was dumb, that's fine, but that reasoning is really meh. I would have not gone to see another
Superman Returns. If you would then by all means, enjoy.
An alien that looks human and can fly and has superpower that he gets from sun is not a realistic notion to begin with. No delusions there but I certainly wasn't going to pretend that this was more realistic than that:
And yet you are about to list why you have a problem with it.
That's fair.
Yeah, I remember that scene where Superman is punching people on the streets and killing them and turns to Zod and he's all 'Isn't this fun?' and Zod's like 'Yeah, glad I could help you hurt people.'
What exactly do you think would happen when two super beings got into a fight? Did you really think the city would be left without a scratch?
And where exactly did you think Zod would be while Superman is holding the building? Just letting him do it? You don't think he'd take advantage of the opportunity to strike him dead? Do you really think that's an option in a life and death situation? That is some extreme idealization of the events. In fact, that kind of describes all of what you are saying. Your views on Superman are extremely idealized.
If that's how you feel those are fair complains.
Again, extreme idealization.
Did that years ago.
No it's not. Superman 3 and 4 are by far the worst.
Fine.
So stick with the Bryan Singer way of making Superman movies. I'll stick with this one.
Yes I do.
No it's not.
