Ah here we have a self righteous, arrogant person who refuses to accept anything other than Superman was an emotional journey of wonder and unimaginable depth rather than a Donner homage.
Well I can't recall saying anything was horrible? So just because I didn't like the average movie I should leave and never come back? Maybe if you don't like opinions that don't praise this movie (blindly) then you should leave?
Don't see where I tried to make myself too cool? I have nothing to prove to somebody going around blindly brown nosing like you, my friend. I simply want to engage in debates with people who can actually see different points of view rather than their own single minded agenda.
Also liked how you tried to leap into insults without trying you counter my point.

Counter your post? I gave you a counter, you discounted it. And yes, SR was an homage to S:TM, I've never denied that anywhere -- so way to read in. It's just that its a much classier and sleeker S:TM, which actually attempts to create drama and conflict, whlie layering in some very radical and new dynamics.
Moving on to my supposed non-countering of your point:
It amounts to this. You're idea's better: Luthor should've invited Superman to live on New Krypton, despite him already having a Fortresss that resemebles Kryptonian in a beautiful monument.
So, you're main things was: who's going to pay for that land and how are they going to eat and, what else, lemme check....oh, and Jason was a ploy considering that in the movie that has not yet been made there may be, may be, Kryptonian survivors coming.
So, who would buy a bunch of HI-TECH land? Remember, Kryptonian land is almost living technology. It's technology and land mixed. So, when New Krypton would've FINISHED growing, we don't have a clue what would've come out. For all we know, the rocky protrusions we saw would have cracked and shed to create the glimmering crystal that we know since crystals do orignally start as ugly rock and some rocks are actually cracked open to finds gems. So, we know first and foresmot, an obvoius point nearly everyone missed, was that New Krypton was in its infancy, not even grown to full capacity -- it would've probably grown into a huge contininent of crystals just like the Fortress, with integrated technology and fortressed that could be created as Luthor continued to discover more about the crystals.
Who would buy into that? Terrorists, for one. Warlords, two, Displaced peoples, three. To have access to those resources, an unlimited about of power, technology, and knowledge, would be priceless. And as New Krypton reached maturity, that would've been seen.
So, where's the food? Well, where was the food on Earth after the Big Bang happened? It takes time.
So, we've established with logic who would buy. We've established that New Krypton was in its infant stages. And, let us also describe, that New Krypton wouldve been a new world order. Also, krytpo-rock is harmless to humans for now, but Luthor may have not seen the long-term effects, as he doesn't in the comics when he gets cancer. But that's good -- that's the fallcy of villanious arrogance.
Jason is a ploy? Useless. Well, think of it this way, Kryptonian survivors come back and Jason wants to go with them and not stay on Earth? Is he useless then, or have we introduced yet another dramatic strain that is hard for Superman to deal with? Or, Jason's biology continues to reject his hybrid nature and this group of Kryptonians can save him but have to take him with them. Is he useless then? That these Kryptonians, hope that Superman is not alone, is going to leave him alone on his planet, taking that hope with them, by taking away his son?
So there's my refutations.
