It just highlights the contradiction in the film yes he saved people from the oil rig but in moments of crisis he didn’t look like he cared about the mass causality occurring around him. Like I said if we go by what is depicted in the movies then he can hear all the death around him and yet doesn’t visually attempt to save anyone. Forget his previous actions in the movie I am talking about when death was occurring all around him why didn’t he make an active effort to try and save people.
Then miraculously he cares about a family of three. There is even a part in the film where Zod throws an oil truck at him and he simply just leaps past it and lets it slam into a building letting the building collapse. Prior to this scene we see a large amount of civilians around watching the battle between him and Zod so we know people are still about. All Snyder had to do was depict him actually trying to stop the damage or minimise it. Hell despite being overwhelmed Snyder could have shown that he was still thinking of the people and still trying that would have made him Superman. A lack of experience doesn’t excuse his inaction as it’s based on character. Why is it a normal man can run into a burning building to save a random stranger? Some individuals just have that ability to act Superman embodies that despite the overwhelming odds of what’s transpiring he still tries key word being tries.

*Midwestern farmers. Kansas is in the Midwest, NOT the South.They're old and at least their personality fits their identity as southern farmers now.
I get homo-tional about my son just as much as Pa Kent does
Bring in Power Girl
Martha Kent's Southern-ass accent threw me off. Also, them being so old-looking and flabby
Further, we didn't see enough of the Kents, so Jonathan being so "mushy" towards Clark didn't hit for me
I wonder how many will now change their tune
Supes should kill when necessary. It depends on the villain and circumstance, but it's usually a last resort.
I've always disliked the "superheroes shouldn't kill" trope.
Zack Snyder basically made a Batman version of him, from his musings to the press one can infer he hates Superman and only took the opportunity because of the financial incentive.
Later in a meeting involving the Man of Steel sequel he suggested to Warner Bros let's throw in Batman in there, and that is how we got Batman vs Superman.
Funnily enough it was Nolan who recommended him to WB to helm Superman lol.
Should he have been given Batman sure I guess but he also made a point that his version of Batman would get sodomised in a prison cell... Make of that what you will.

Same! I really thought they were more caricatures of midwestern people. You can be country and not come across as slow or like you’re embodying the the stereotype. Ma Kent especially.

So my 76 year old mom who is a big Christopher Reeve Superman fan just got back from this and hated it. She says she's lucky we gave her a movie gift card for Christmas because otherwise she would have felt scammed lol
Why did she hate it? LOL.
The funny thing is I've seen some people online say that they liked how the Kents were depicted because it reminded them of their own parents or grandparents.
So, I guess different people have different interpretations/feelings about it

She thought it was too preachy and she thought they used the word 'shyt' too much lol. I do think my mom, like a like old southern Baptist Black folks, is an Israel defender, so maybe it touched a nerve? She'd never admit to that though.
