>>92918403His character wasn't bad in BvS except for some plot induced stupidity but MoS was pretty shit, not necessarily in the story it was trying to tell but more in how it told it. The actual story beats it was trying to hit were solid, but they either were set up in contrived ways, delivered sloppy, were too ham fisted and too obvious. The actual directing (shaky cam for two people sitting down talking about a serious issue), editing (lens flares and muted colours even when it was supposed to be up lifting, nothing to contrast the dour shit later with) and pacing (the second half of the movie needs to slow down and stop for a bit) were all legit concerns as well. The actual character they were trying to convey was fine and actually has been done and handled well in comics, it just wasn't written well or properly portrayed in the movie.
>death of the dad proving he can't save everyonePerfect, except done in a shoddy way
>confused talk with no easy answers about when and how to use powersGreat, except the camera can't stop moving, there's lens flare for a serious scene that didn't need anything other than focus on a father to son talk
>Supes has the weight of the world on his shoulders to be this perfect beingFantastic, Jesus imagery does work here, except it's constantly showed and people in the movie still keep telling him his responsibilities to the world. The Superman film earlier in the 00s despite it's problems actually nailed this a lot better with him out at space looking over the world and his "I hear everything" line.
>is forced to face reality that he can't save everyone and may have to dirty his hands to keep the world safeThis gets not much time to actually set in and not much impact after he initially does it shows on his mind. Also the family literally sitting in one spot and not moving at all was contrived as fuck.
It was more to do with the writing, editing, pacing and directing rather than what they aimed to do with the characterization.
