Well at the end of the day he owes the audience nothing as a director. It's his film. If someone wants to make a different version they should get $200 million together and make their own version. It's also different from what we have seen before. Why do people seem to want the same old thing again and again? It's lame. The destruction also wasn't entirely Superman's fault. Also Superman was on his first day of being a hero.

People should avoid action movies then because that tends to happen in them.

This is especially true in the film/comic universe when super powerful heroes battle super powerful villains.

"Well at the end of the day he owes the audience nothing as a director. It's his film"

Oh stop it. They're selling it to an audience; don't act like this was a project he made on his super 8 in his basement. He is not immune from criticism.

I guess you're right in a sense. But I just don't think art is a democracy. I do think the point of the destruction was to set up future conflict in the films but I don't think it is fair to criticize Synder for doing it the way he chose to do it.

You are entitled and think your tastes are the best, well they are not. Zod was a megalomaniac who saw humans as ants. His actions are directly in line with how someone like that would act. People just like to complain and hate on great directors. Snyder made Watchmen and people complained it was too close to the graphic novel, he made the movie that was said to be impossible. Peasants need to piss off and count their blessing someone like Snyder is on board.

Contradicting? I thought he simply said don't do it because it'll rock the very foundations of humanity. The way I took it was that he was simply shaping him into a good human being until the time was right. Remember when those boys were picking on him, he told him if hitting back would make him feel any better? That helped teach him right from wrong. Separate black and white since he could destroy that kid. That taught him to use his powers responsibly and show restraint, which he later applied in the bar with the trucker (kinda lol).

Now on to Jonathan's grave mid-way through the movie. Clark tells Lois, "My father believed that if the world found out who I really was they'd reject me, outta fear. He was convinced that the WORLD WASN'T READY". <----- Right there. He was molding a good man so that he'd step into those superhero booties when he was ready. When the world needed him most. You have to remember the term 'superhero' isn't even a thing at that point in time.

Now fast forward to the end, after the Zod fight. Clark is visiting Jonathan's grave with Martha. Martha tells him "He always believed you were meant for greater things. And that when the day came your shoulders would be able to bare the weight". Clark replies with "Just wish he could have been here to finally see it happen" And Martha says " He saw it Clark believe me,"

He saw it all along and was shaping him into the kind-hearted man he needed to be for when the world was as ready as it would ever be for someone like him. That's how I saw it anyways. Hope that makes sense, I'm tired as hell lol.

Of course. But Bangers, Beans & mash and The Clap are a personal favourites of mine.
