Err, I kinda did complain about that....

 

[danoyse]

Like danoyse said....I too think you are making too much of this. When he did it...he was not SUPERMAN....he was Clark Kent, wandering the world trying to find his place in Earth's society. He got pissed because a little twerp bully was sexually harassing a woman and bullying him....and he knew he could squash this piece of crap with his pinky.....but instead he damages the guys truck and a power line. I think you are obsessing over a minor thing to help you justify your disappointment in the movie.

Exactly.

 

[Project862006]

it a pretty stupid complaint honestly

Trucking company should look into insuring their trucks...seems like good idea.

Anyways, I think this non boy scout CK is a very basic way to fix what the modern GA perceived as flawed and boring. This idea that he was raised on earth and is just like the rest of us has always fell short in light of the idea that the midwest raises saints.

In this film I saw the thesis finally manifest. Raised on earth, has a big destiny to live up to. Like any man it's something you grow into. Pretty sure Obama wasn't the saint he is now when he left college lol.

Then again the last time they tried to change him for the modern GA, they made him sort of a dead beat.

But what about the poor insurance companies that have to pay for it!?!?!?

Just pretend it was a LexCorp truck and the money came out of Luthor's pocket.

 

[Heretic]

Exactly.

Please explain how putting on a costume makes him a good person.

I have read many Superman comics...and I am under the impression that he is a good man because the Kents raised him to be a good man.

It isn't collateral damage. Clark CHOSE to destroy public and private property just to make life miserable for a jerk he had bumped into. That destruction did not have to happen and ONLY happened because Clark got angry and wanted to destroy something.

Accidentally destroying a building while trying to save humanity is much different.

Also...another small issue...but Clark Kent is a thief. He stole a man's clothing. This man did NOTHING to Clark...never even met him.

This is just another example of how the writers of this film simply don't understand who Clark Kent is. The definitive Clark Kent would not steal from an innocent person to give himself a disguise.

Mark Waid's latest Tweet - The entire reason Superman exists is to do the impossible.

 

[danoyse]

No, that man clearly sexually harassed that lady and I have never once defended his actions. It is possible to get justice for her without ruining the man's life...destroying the property of the company that hired him AND the company that hired his company to haul stuff, AND destroy public property.

No, you're asking us to consider the feelings of a pervert and bully. Why should we feel bad for him? He doesn't feel bad that he's sexually harrassing a woman, instead of stopping when he's told to stop, he threatens more violence.

We're supposed to feel sorry that he might have some problems later? Karma's a *****, my friend.

And if the company he works for loses out, its because they've hired a jerk. I'm sure that company has an HR department, and I'm sure that while an employee is driving one of their company's trucks, their drivers are expected to adhere to the standards of the company. I'm sure learning that their driver sexually harrasses women, and threatens violence in bars - risking arrest - would reflect poorly on their company and he would be fired anyway.

I heard he ripped the tags off of his mattresses too. It's going to be on the blu-ray extended version.

Please stop lying about my stance.

Public and company property were destroyed because Clark Kent got angry at a guy.

I have dealt with that type of jerk in the past. I got justice for the victim WITHOUT destroying other people's property and shutting down the power supply for innocent people.

I thought it was a crime that we didn't get to see Henry Cavill naked.

And because you can't throw a truck onto a telephone line.

It was definitely a crime that his pecs only had such a small amount of screen time... talk about under using the talent

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

^ And yet nobody cares when action heroes steal motorcycles or a billionaire essentially takes one of the few things a homeless guy has, and then jokes about it later :P

 

[Boy Scout]

I didn't have a problem with Superman destroying that trucker's truck or stealing those clothes or any other such issue.

He showed up in flames on the oil rig, I turned to my mom and said, "He is literally hot right now..."

My friend turned to me at that point and said 'Yeah, i'd do him, but I might have to put a bag over his face...'

Then later when she saw him without the beard, she took it back

The first picture I saw of him was a set picture from the scene where he was stealing the clothes.

My first thought was, "Helloooooo Superman!!"

t:yeah because his way of justice is the reason he didn't throw a truck

 

[Heretic]

And because you can't throw a truck onto a telephone line.

But I CAN destroy property in other ways. I just choose not to victimize others for the actions of one.

I'm smarter than this Clark Kent and I'm more moral than this Clark Kent (yes, I have been in desperate situations in my life where stealing was needed...and I STILL didn't do it). I am more the Man of Tomorrow than Clark Kent. If THIS can be changed about the character, then ANYTHING can be changed. There should never be another complain about a change made to a character in a superhero movie.

These are small issues...but part of a larger whole that shows a very, very poor representation of the character.

This is what I posted in another thread:

Perfect examples of how far fanboys reach with extremely odd explanations.

Exactly. You can't win the "I didn't do what Clark Kent did!" argument when you lack the abillity to throw trucks in the first place.
