    I could see where you're coming from with the Pa Kent thing, but honestly they would only need to tweak one scene, the infamous "...maybe" one. Because there are couple of other great Pa Kent/Clark moments right. For example, the conversation with "why I can't I keep pretending to be your son?", and the later one where Clark talks about wanting to hit the other kid are both great examples of classic comic book Pa Kent that most people don't have a problem with. They now go unnoticed, which is a shame, they were decent scenes.

     

    Yeah, the Maybe scene, and the more emphasis on Jor 'El being his moral compass, do taint how I view the movie, considering I barely recall such scenes. Unfortunately for me it's those few things that break the movie for me. That and the grey everywhere, the color palette puts me off. I've been thinking I should watch MoS again now that I've had time to remove it from its decisiveness, so perhaps I'll have another opinion now than 2 years ago.

  2. One. I'm surprised how civil this all is.

    Two. At the end of the day, why I don't like MoS, will always come down to Pa Kent. That Clarks morals come from not the Kent's but Jor El. Having not read a lot of Super Man comics outside of Death and Return, having only bits of the 90s animated and Richard Donner as sources, this feels jarring. The Pa Kent I know never seemed like the man who would say, let people die.

     

    The comparison I can put this to is like ASM movies. Where Uncle Ben's Death is a foot note. As a life long Spider-Man fan, that is frustrating since the death is so pivotal to his character. I know that as creators the people making an ASM (or MoS) may want to tell and change things because that is good storytelling. No one wants to tell the same story over and over again. But at times when I see small things, like the focus of both these movies shifting to our main characters biological parants, seem jarring to me. And I'd suspect a wider audience who only really knows them from previous films or TV.

     

    Thought I'd throw my opinions of MoS in here. I've loved reading everyone's so far.
