Was Henry Cavill a Good Superman? (Patreon Question)

I share my thoughts on Henry Cavill's run as Superman and the fandom disappointment that he won't be playing the role anymore.

reply

He was fine. The script didn't have a lot of charm. That's been missing Since Christoper Reeves. They tried it with Brandon Routh, but it didn't translate well.

reply

Superman movie doesn't need to be Christopher Reeve-verse to have charm, look at Superman & Lois it has plenty of heart and charm.

Snyder made the mistake of making Superman too much like the Dark Knight.

reply

I never watched Lois and Clark. So I'll take your word for it.

reply

Lois & Clark, Smallville and Superman & Lois all have it.

With Snyder's recent comments about Super fans being brainwashed to what isn't true canon, didn't he watch any Superman shows like L&C or SV? they had better writing than his films.

reply

Damn, I guess I’m the odd one out, I think Cavill was the best Superman to date.

reply

Henry was fine. But, I think Tyler Hoechlin is doing a good job.

reply

Think any good actor now will surpass Cavill like Tyler Hoechlin, David Corenswet is probably going to as well.
