I can’t say I either agree or disagree with the message of the video. On one hand, I do think people exaggerate how “evil” and “sociopathic” Superman is in the Snyder movies, but on the other hand, I don’t disagree with the complaint that Superman is too mopey in BvS. That’s one of the reasons I was disappointed with it. MoS ended on an upbeat note that seemed to leave the door open for a brighter depiction of Superman in the next movie, but then BvS seemed to do a 180 and made him broodier than ever. I'd have to question the empathy levels of anyone who decided to make out on top of Ground Zero two minutes after the towers fell. But while a lot of the damage was already done in MoS, BvS probably could have reversed it with a more traditional Superman and no one would be criticizing this image. On that note, I do find it interesting how Snyder and his fanbase are using said image to prop up his Superman. They spend a lot of their time defending what you called "mopey" and "broody", always saying "We'll get that sunny Superman next time!". Yet here they are cumming over the exact opposite of that. I'd probably respect them more if they just came out and said they hate Superman, they hate what he stands for, they think he's a libtard pussy and they wished Superman were Charles Bronson with Krypton powers. No "this is just character development setting up that traditional Superman for later". No "Superman did X in this issue/episode/cut of a movie so it's fine for Snyder's to do it literally all of the time". Just brutal honesty akin to Frank Miller (Snyder's biggest inspiration after Ayn Rand). Zack Snyder isn’t even a conservative, and his fanbase actually seems to be pretty diverse.
