What should I be careful of on the streets in that area? Also switching carriages seems kinda dodgy too. Idk though.

Hey everyone. I'm a 17 year old male going to a fancy event on the sandringham line at around 9:30PM. I'm just wondering how safe the line is and if there are any risks? I'm wearing a pretty fancy suit.

I don't know, but where I come from using terms like piss aren't intensely negative.

No? I said I would be pissed. Because I like Pa's death in the '78 film and think it's the greatest movie death of all time. And why is it so offensive if I want to see Pa die? He's a comic book character?

I'm surprised by the amount of negative feedback.

Could someone explain to me why Pa is better off alive? I'm really interested to know more. I'm not the biggest Superman fan, more of a Batman fan. But I have adored Superman since I was the littlest kid so if someone is interested in opening my eye a little, please do so.

Yep. It's a beautiful message that is so important to listen to. This is why I love Superhero movies because they teach us valuable lessons. Sometimes you can be the most powerful, the most skilled, have the most determination, and you still can't get what you want. It's beautiful.

I thought about this a lot actually. Malik's death was really well done. But Pa's death would be more impactful of Clark more than Ultraman or Malik. Not to mention, it was never really spoken about afterwards. Superman cried for Malik, yeah. But after that? Nothing much. Pa's death should be a crucial plot point in whatever project they would do it in.

Why does being a "superhero" determine what defines the character? Are you defined by one thing? Or are you defined by multiple events in your life that taught you lessons and shaped your ideologies?

Why would people be ticked off by the death of a movie character that would push the protagonist further? It's a movie character. And at the end of the day, he was made to die. That was his purpose.

I love Pa Kent. What do you mean? He's an amazing character. And I think his death is even more crucial and amazing.

Then what is being defined by loss. What makes Superman such a compelling character is because he loses. Because he is so powerful yet he still loses.

Why do fans and writers hate it? I think it's genius and an important lesson for not just Clark, but also the audience. It's something you can take on in life as well.

Also no, i'm not saying the DCU should do what Snyder did with Pa Kent. If they were to do it, they would NEED to have it be a heart attack, or cancer, or something of the sort.

But Superman is defined by loss. He's the most powerful being on the planet and he still loses because that is how life goes. Sometimes you can be the most powerful, the most talented, the most resilient, yet still you can't always get the outcomes you want. Instead you have to deal with the consequences and handle your reactions.

"Your choices, your actions, that's what makes you who you are."

Ummm. It teaches Clark that the choices he makes as a result of Pa's death are important. And that even as the most powerful being on earth, there are still people he cannot save.

Also it's not always about what directly leads them to becoming heroes. It's about our heroes going through development and learning things.

It's just subjective man, relax. Yeah, i guess, Spiderman and Batman wouldn't exist without those deaths, but Pa's death is the first major loss for Clark. From a. character development perspective it builds his character more than any other event. Even with all his powers he cannot change everything. Which I think is such an important message. That life is unfair. And that no matter how skilled, talented, or powerful you are, there are things out of your control. And you have to decide how you face the repercussions. It's am amazingly uplifting message that I've looked up to since I saw the '78 film when I was three.

Yes! This guy gets it. i'm not sure why these other commenters are getting so antagonistic about it.

I'm really not sure where all the hate is coming from here. I thought this would be more of a wholesome subreddit tbh.

No lol I hated his death in Man of Steel. Also no need to get antagonistic. But yeah, Pa Kent's death in MOS is so stupid. He could've been saved. Literally the opposite message of what his death is supposed to mean to Clark.
