Seriously, why? Just why?

Could only afford him for half the movie

CEASE AND DESIST FORWARD MOMENTUM INVULNERABLE BOY

because he didnt want his son to be forced to out himself. He wanted clark to have the choice

>Watching any superhero movies.

Because Snyder does not understand true moral conflict, so instead he blusteringly attempts to emulate it through commonly used tropes.

it was showing that human life, at least if it's a white male, is worth less than a dog's life

I'm sure Joseph was encouraging of Jesus do to do good. Did Snyder forget that when he was cramming metaphors into every frame of his movie? After all, his Jesus metaphors are the most obvious and most repeated

It made no goddamn sense. The old man sauntered over to his dog and would've made it back if not for his fucking ankle getting trapped.

Clark could've gotten the dog back safely at the pace of a brisk morning jog and no one would've bat an eye.

Tell me about your favorite part of the movie and why

why didn't he just turn back time to before his dad blew away??

>Jonathan knew the full extent of his son's powers and abilities.

Clark was still a teenager who's powers hadn't even fully developed yet. But I guess it would be more realistic for the father who's been previously shown to only want a normal life for Clark to allow him to jump into a tornado, risking his own life to save his father while exposing his powers publicly making any kind of normal life impossible. And of course it's completely unbelievable for a father to want to sacrifice himself to protect his son, and for that son to learn from that and later sacrifice himself to protect others. Nope, that's just silly bad writing.

And that has become... the dog's purpose.

>>82830648
Because Snyder is a hack and doesn't think that a heart attack is EXTREME enough, not understanding why it's important that if Pa Kent dies, it HAS to be from a heart attack, aneurysm, or other internal malady that Clark could not possibly have stopped.

>>82831577
It's not flaw. Snyder brillianlty avoided it being flaw by making it as a tale that Clark told Lois on graveyard insted of direct flashback.
Death felt forced? Blame Nolan, he made same shit in Interstellar, but in Man of Steel I can and argue that Clark dramatized whole situation to make himself more guilty than he actually was.

>>82831584
>faster than a speeding bullet thing
which doesn't mean he can blink out of existense and no one would notice

>Snyder brillianlty avoided it being flaw by making it as a tale that Clark told Lois on graveyard insted of direct flashback.

We are not given any reason to think that Clark might be an unreliable narrator, however. Far from it, the flashback is filmed no differently from any of the other flashbacks in the movie, which leads me to believe that the audience is meant to think that this is how events actually played out - because they ARE how the events played out.

Besides which, it still leaves Clark looking like an asshole.

>>82831584
Yeah nevermind being grabbed at that speed would turn you into fucking jelly lol

He didn't want his son to be exposed, whats so hard for you retards to understand.

>>82830717
>to be forced to out himself
Why was his father so adamant about others thinking Clark was gay?
Was his father so much of a homophobe he was willing to die than others thinking Clark was a gay boy?

>>82832015
and why didn't Clark just say, "Nah fuck that, I'm not just gonna stand here and watch my father die a pointless death. I'll deal with the consequences later, it's my dad god damn it!"

that's how any other person would've reacted

>>82831675
My favorite parts are when Hairline Caville looks like he's in some cheap cologne commercial. He looked out of place and it was mildly amusing. Taking photos for some fucking Nivea-for-Men catalogue of shaving products is not the same as acting in a movie.

I was more baffled by the fact a seasoned farmer would run into a hurricane to save a dog.

People who work on land don't grow that attached to animals.

>I can and argue that Clark dramatized whole situation to make himself more guilty than he actually was.
The thing is, when you have a character like Superman, he SHOULD NOT be an unreliable narrator. It goes against truth, justice, and the American Way which is the fundamentals of his character

>>82832387
The dog = humanity
Pa Kent = Superman
It was to teach Clark that even lesser beings like humans deserve to be saved.

MoS is my favorite cape movie of all time and even I think the scene is stupid.

If anything it should have been set up differently like Pa Kent was hanging from a cliff or high overpass or something where Clark would have had to do something totally outrageous like fly or something and not have to simply run over there and help him.

Wouldn't Ma Kent get resentful of Clark and Pa after that? Husband foolishly sacrafices his life leaving her alone and her son didnt try to save him

I'm not made for society, kid. I did a lot of bad things and burned a lot of bridges to end up here. A lighthouse keeper in the end of the world. I took care of you when your mother left, but I'm not cut out to raise you. With all the stuff you can do, you don't belong here among us. And with all the stuff you can't do, you don't belong there, among them. You'd be a freak no matter where you go. You're alone, Arthur. Forever. And if you're smart, you're gonna learn from that.
