They keep wanting to make "Superman is vulnerable and hurting" stories because they bought the "le invincible = boring" meme about him, and will continue to fail because of it. Literally the best part about the lackluster Justice League movie was him waking up and soloing the entire team in seconds, showing why everyone is so obsessed with him being there.
Superman is meant to be the shining icon even in the darkest hour. The inspiration that we cling to to "keep fighting." So show him bloodied and beaten as some metaphor for our country just means we are already completely lost and this is just doom porn.
Years of Comics and Richard Donnor understood this. Precisely why Superman is my favorite character along with Spidey. Now maybe this movie is good, but he could’ve kept his mouth shut.
The past few decades of comics, especially DC comics, have shown how little they understand their own characters and their appeal.
They whine and whine about Superman's invincibility and Batman's no kill rule, when those exist as rocks for you to write a good story upon, not sticks for you to bend to make a good story from.
Also I don't think it had a chance to ever be good. Even without comments people were memeing on how bad it looked. Every part of the character looks like a discount, shittier version of Cavill's.
Which is the problem when you have the literal perfect casting of a character and then try to recast it while that guy is still alive and active.
And Cavill wanted to do a more inspirational Superman. He was the perfect casting short of cloning Reeve.
I really, really want Marvel to cast Cavill has Hyperion just for shits and giggles.

Bonus points if they let him grow the beard.
