>No fucking parent in real life is going to tell a nine year old with super powersI agree restraint would have to be taught, but I think it's perfectly reasonable to say right off the bat he did good by saving those kids, but the only thing the Kents taught him in this film was restraint. Pa Kent died because he willed Clark to restrain himself and I think Clark was well over 9 years old, or did you not actually see the film?
> Superboy isn't realistic, it's infantile cartoon shit. Oh ho ho, look at you Mr Big boy pants, arguing about a man in a skin-tight suit and a cape flying around and saving the day on /co/. I can't argue Superman is an infantile cartoon character because that what he was created to be, a fucking children's cartoon character. Of course Superboy isn't realistic but Superboy also extends to his High School years and in 'Merica we can send 17 and 18 year old kids to serve in the military which potentially can get pretty fucking dangerous. Then again you probably don't realize Snyder's suffer-porn is just as juvenile.
I digress, you want to focus on that one scene fine, the entire Kent segment seemed to carry on as Clark seemed about College age when Pa Kent died, I'd say he could handle some responsibility saving people. It's not infantile for parents to see their kids potential and help it blossom, comic book Kents supported Superman, hell, Donner's Superman killed Pa Kent but his last words were to encourage him, he was here for a reason.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmwBHt29sRMI mean shit, Snyder's Superman almost seems to help people either out of spite, he's saving his dad (who didn't want him to save him). Donner's Superman is encouraged by his father's death because he want's to live up to that potential, almost like his dad's dying wish. I wouldn't consider the content of Donner's scene to be infantile in handling the subject matter.
