I had high hopes for this movie and just feel like Black Adam all over again. You can make Superman seem vulnerable without having him get his ass beat throughout the movie. He didn't look strong or act strong. And I'm not blaming the actor. I blame the writer/director solely.
Strength is not “can’t get hurt”. Strength is “not letting that hurt stop you from doing the right thing.” Clark is a muscular guy, sure. But his strongest muscle has always been his heart.
I spoke of vulnerability, not strength. In man of steel his vulnerability was shown by him walking into a congressional hearing and not seeing the wheelchair bomb, watching all those people incinerated and coming to the realization that maybe he needs to start looking and questioning. 👇🏼
He still got his butt beat and over came it. Again, my opinion.
Killing villains out of fear is neither vulnerability nor strength. Superman has both, Snyder’s character had neither.
Got it. You didn't understand Man of Steel. Or that scene. Vulnerability is getting your ass handed to you by everyone & shrugging it off, and bad guys can shoot people in the head and then cry when caught. The one character who shouldn't cry is Lex, especially after going on about why he hates him.
Mistaking bullying for strength, and kindness for weakness, is very Ayn Rand. Very Snyder.
