It's because of his reputation as "The Big Blue Boy Scout" Captain America is 1,000 times more of a Boy Scout than Superman is, and yet never gets saddled with that moniker like it is a bad thing.

It's not cool to like Superman.

For the record, I am not opposed to the concept they are using for Superman...one who is finding his place in an alien world. One who is a little more distant, I'm cool with that as a version of his Origin story.

The problem is that they never show him being heroic. Not a single scene in either film shows him saving anyone (Other than Lois) in the Superman suit. He has one shot of flying into frame with a girl from a fire, but nothing of him actually saving her...just implying he did...it's far more important to Snyder for the people to be shown worshiping him.

The most "Superman" moment in either film is the fantastic Oil Rig sequence...which is before he becomes Superman.

It wasn't cool to like Captain America, either, until the MCU, and yet Marvel Studios made it cool to like him.

Got news for you. It isn't cool to aid and abet a murderer to escape from the authorities. This isn't like the days of the Old West when outlaws were considered legends.
