Man of Steel wasn't a disaster though.

Yes, it was. Any film that has the Jonathan Kent willing to have the children of his friends and neighbors die a horrible death instead of having his son use his powers in any meaningful manner has failed as a Superman movie.

What a silly and false assertion that is: Kent was not "willing" to let people die. He was conflicted himself what to do and how to act, thus his "Maybe there is something greater at stake here" when asked by Clark (1:05) - which was also very subtly acted.

This is also in line with the original movie where old Kent told angry Clark to not to use his powers. In MoS is was only more thought through to the last consequence.

It's the classic conflict between two fathers/parents: One (rural/Earthly) telling the son to keep the powers secret and keep a low profile/live a normal Smallville life, the other father (heritage) suggests to use the powers and to become something big. Clark sits in between these interests - the result is the character duality of bumbling Clark Kent and Superman.

Your statements show again that you are essentially clueless of (i) the Superman mythos and (ii) of writing theory and (iii) unable of uttering any reasonable criticism against DCEU. QED
