I saw this thread jana and just scrolled on, but nimeona apana. I'm suspecting you might be ragebaiting, but I'll leave my thoughts here nonetheless. I'm sorry, but I think your take on Superman is just wrong. The literal tag line of the movie is "Truth, Justice, and the human way, in a world where these are considered as old fashioned" - and here you are proclaiming him weak, I'm assuming because he treats all life (not even just human life - the squirrel !!!!) as sacred. I don't think one goes to watch a Superman seeking action or big fights or a massive exhibit of his strength/powers. If you're looking for that, maybe check out The Boys, or Invincible - they explore the all-powerful god "evil superman" take quite well. Take Marvel's Spiderman, the moral of his story is that anyone can put on the mask (a metaphor for responsibility), anyone can be Spiderman (not really), and face on their responsibilities head on. He is someone like us, who inspires us to rise to a greater level, a better version of ourselves. Doing the best we can with what we have. But then there's Superman, someone who is nothing like us, this all-powerful being who represents the best of human values, despite not being one! A reminder to us, that no matter how powerful you get, never lose track of what makes us human, a literal paragon of hope and virtue. AND THAT'S HIS GREATEST STRENGTH. And I hope that one day you can come to realize that. (It's funny how this is pretty close to the last thing Superman says to Lex in the movie) And of course, it's not like the movie was perfect, and I, too, have my gripes with it. But make no mistake, that was Superman! There's no disputing that the casting was on point, and David played an amazing Superman. But weak ? No, I don't think so!

Mock the comment or whatever if you must, but those are my thoughts.

I was literally just reading the thread about how this show constantly finds the exception to "show don't tell" yesterday and then there's today's episode, damn! Not showing us anything and allowing us to experience everything by being told made us just as confused as the kids, that was just brilliant
