I’m amazed that this “hate the thing to be cool on the internet” approach still works.
I don't hate Man of Steel because the internet told me to
I hate Man of Steel because it doesn't understand Superman's character beyond "Strong guy who punches things"
A movie where Superman stops to save a squirrel > A movie where Superman destroys Metropolis to get to Zod
You should watch that movie again when you’re older. You missed a lot of details because you only saw/focused on the violence.
I don’t hate art and I don’t understand people that do. It may not appeal to me but that’s someone’s interpretation of that item.
I suppose if you want the Superman you described there are so many versions. Take your pick from any of the multiple versions that saved a squirrel.
I saw Man of Steel in my late 20s.
It was nothing but mindless violence. Not Superman at all.
Ok.
