I'm gonna rape man of steel into the dirt
First we have to take the character of superman
In the reeves version superman is more well defined and has a personality and traits...the superpowers feel like a add on. Superman goes through a heroes journey to realize his destiny. He has a clear personality and makes his own decisions
Man of steel version is awful, he has no personality and fails the red letter media test as well as the superpowers test...his character is boring and has no humanity to such character. The actual decision of becoming superman is off screen and feels like superman is a boring reactive character. Every decision made in this movie is either forced by other people or plot convenient. He doesn't learn anything in the end and had already made a commitment to become a superhero earlier in the movie...he doesn't bring up the death of zod, or use that to define said character. We are never told that superman won't hurt another human being...this is the tip of the ice berg
This is a lesson
You are *beep* if your characters are boring...no amount of plotting can save a awful main character and a lifeless cast
