This is, IMHO, why Superman is doing so well. It's the type of unapologetically wholesome shit I didn't know my soul was so desperate for.

EDIT: My wife just called it "hope porn" and I think it fits.

I've been burnt out on superhero stuff for a bit, and had zero interest in checking out Superman as the DC stuff has been of no interest to me since the Nolan Batman movies.

I put it on the other night for background noise, but it got my attention right from the start, and I really enjoyed it.

The biggest thing for me was when he saved that squirrel mid-fight. The guy has everyone trying to kill him and the city, and he loves everything about Earth so much he can't see any living thing suffer.

There is so much unspoken collateral damage in all these action movies, and Superman wouldn't even let a squirrel suffer for actions linked to him.

I want someone to look out for me, dang it. Where's our Superman?

They tried to cut the squirrel scene after it tested badly but James kept it in because it’s so Superman

I just went back and watched the scene. The squirrel part is so quick compared to the other rescues like the dog in that same scene.

The dog got a lot more direct attention, and that makes sense since a lot of people have or really like dogs. But I've never seen anything where the hero stops to save an animal nobody would ever even put in a scene.

It wasn't played up like a bit like the dog, and that made it feel like a more natural thing this Superman would do. It turned a throwaway gag into a bit of character development that in 3 seconds showed us this Superman would put himself on the line to save any life.

Loved the detail of the squirrel going confused, wide stance alert mode after drop off
