The regular print is stuff I could live with. But the bolded tells me they were throwing any ideas at the wall!

For example: I don't hate that they turned Jimmy homosexual, at least they were trying to do something with the character. Usually he gets ignored altogether. But it kinda bothers me that he was "written as a very stereotypical New York City punk, to hide that he is a homosexual" because there's tons of NYC kids that are just "out". No need to hide. And how would the reveal of his sexuality impact the story of Superman anyway?

Well, the script was conceived in the early 2000s.

It just sounds like a story element that would work much better in a different movie or a movie of its own. Not as a subplot in a Superman movie. I don't go to see Superman movies to see a tertiary character come out after having 15 minutes of screen time, if that. If I want to see the high drama of a person finding themselves I'll go see Moonlight or Call Me By Your Name, both excellent films.
