I know this obviously wasn't the intent, but does anyone else feel like it kinda served Clark right getting the crap kicked out of him after willingly throwing away his powers?
Also on the subject, I never cared much for the scene at the end when he goes back and beats up the redneck. It felt a little petty to me for something Superman would do.

I guess it just goes to show you that even seemingly invincible people have their personality flaws just like the rest of us.

It’s been awhile, but doesn’t he get rid of his powers so he could have relations with Lois? So no, I don’t think it served him right, I think he just made an error in judgment.
And I loved it when he goes back and beats up the redneck. In fact, I wanted him to give him more of a beating, but he held back. The people in the theater I was in were laughing and cheering during that scene, so it wasn’t just me.

There's the element of him rejecting his destiny. He tried to be human and he can't be.
You would think "Mr. Wonderful" would have burned a lot of bridges from his attitude. I'm sure some other tougher types would show up at the diner now and then.
But Superman returning to beat him up is ironic--because it is showing that in fact he does have the human quality of seeking retribution. It's personal although on the other hand, the guy is a bully and he wants to diffuse the conflicts the diner is experiencing.
I don't think it is petty from that perspective. Rocky was vicious. He might have killed him if not for Lois.

It's been a super long time since I watched this, but this is where he says "I've never seen garbage eat garbage before?"
That line cracked me up as a kid.

Donner Cut II, after time travelling the days away, it's now just Superman beating up an innocent person.

Also on the subject, I never cared much for the scene at the end when he goes back and beats up the redneck. It felt a little petty to me for something Superman would do. At least that makes sense in the Theatrical Cut... At the end of "The Donner Cut"... Superman undoes the whole movie... He doesn't give up his powers, He doesn't meet the Bully, and He doesn't get beat up by the Bully... So, When Superman shows up at the end, Superman becomes the Bully, in away, because the Bully doesn't know him... It's worse... And Why, in "The Donner Cut", does Clark give the owner a huge bunch of CASH? What does "For ALL Of The Damages" Mean? How much could a few plates, and a pinball machine cost? This part of the story was something that Donner came up with... and it's a major continuity problem that I'm surprised he didn't notice when he was making the two films... Interestingly, these Donner scenes, were still used when Lester took over, and it works in Lester's version, because Lester didn't have time travel in his version...

Why did he need to lose his powers to be with Lois? Can Superman not get a stiffy?
