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

He was a plank of wood the entire time he played the character, the most Superman he ever was is in Josstice League the version of Justice League that everybody hates.

That's because Joss Whedon knows how to make superhero movies, Snyder does not. It's not Cavill's fault.

No. He is not even a good actor.

[–] Poozer91 (575) a month ago

No. He was very monotone and stiff.

[–] DoctorThirteen (10345) a month ago

No, he looked the part but was as wooden as they come.

With his fake American accent.

[–] TandyMan (10393) a month ago

Nope. He would have sucked as Bond too. If Cavill has a playful fun side, we have yet to see it on screen.

The most Superman we got in movies in the last decade was Captain America in the MCU.

True.

DC Can Break a Tiresome Superman Movie Trend With a Little Help From the MCU

Although Superman often suffers from one-dimensional portrayals, DC has a chance to learn from the MCU and present him as a true character.

Show the human side of Superman like with Smallville and Superman.

The Lois Lane of the MCU was the reporter girl Christine Everhart from the first Ironman. Lois should be a Gale Weathers type figure not a generic damsel.

YouTubers like Mr H Reviews think a Superman film with Cavill is an absolute must and trashes anything Superman without Cavill even he trashes the films he is in.

I think it's worth mentioning that Christopher Reeve had a huge screen presence, something that Cavill doesn't come close to.

I think Christopher Reeve absolutely nailed it.
