>>86814991It's been gone over a million times, anon, and people either refuse to get it, or just have such a fundamentally rigid view of Superman that they refuse to acknowledge a different take on the character. Personally, I liked it. I love all takes on Superman (mostly), and while I have love for the '78 movie, there's no conflict there. Nothing is learned, nothing is gained, and there are no stakes. Superman learns, ostensibly that he can't save his father's life, and then later loses Lois in similar circumstances, but just decides to go back in time and save her anyway. There is a thin strand of a theme here when Jor-El warns him not to tamper with the past throughout the movie, but then he does it and, welp, no consequences! Turns out Superman CAN fix everything! Everyone loves him and that's that.
Meanwhile, Snyder Superman faces a lot of opposition from many different forces. He is judged harshly, even by those who are on his side. He can't seem to win for trying, and yet he loves his planet and its inhabitants so much that he is willing to give his life for it, even still. It makes him seem like a much more powerful character, even if he stumbles.
Unfortunately, in these cynical times, there is a serious demand for simplistic nostalgia, and a good number of fans basically only want a perfect Superman who is flawless and always wins, despite that being what people criticized about him for decades. It's that way with a lot of media now. Nobody wants anything new, or risky, or different. They want safe, soothing fanservice. Just look at Force Awakens...
