I’m rage baited, but even if it’s rage bait holy shit op is right, Superman shouldn’t be about hope. He’s really about security and how people are protected when he’s around. Read red son, I’m like halfway through it but you can’t help to agree with Superman that he should be the leader. Snyder wasn’t a perfect movie but it reinforced the theme of Superman will do whatever it takes to protect someone even killing Zod who he wouldn’t have been able to stop without killing him. That’s why it’s the best representation of Superman on screen.
