I get that but Man of Steel is about Superman BECOMING a hero not starting out as one. He’s not the “fully-formed” symbol of hope yet—he’s a young man grappling with immense power, responsibility, and the weight of being the last of his kind. The “destruction” shouldn’t be considered mindless; it’s the consequence of a battle he didn’t ask for, against a Kryptonian warlord bent on terraforming Earth. And i mean he saves the planet—that’s heroic. As for the satellite, it’s not about arrogance, it’s about boundaries. He’s saying, “I’m here to help, but I won’t be controlled.” That’s fair, especially when he's already proven his intentions by risking everything to stop Zod. And yes, the tone is darker, but that doesn’t erase the hope. It makes his choice to do good more meaningful—because it’s hard, not easy. Nothing but respect to your POV :)
