Though, I saw it more as JK dying to prove to his son that hiding his powers was more important than anything else. It had nothing to do with the dog and everything to do with his earth dad's lack of faith in either Clark or humanity, or both.

That's certainly why he refused to let Clark help him. I don't think he went out there to die on purpose, and I would have an even bigger problem with that. But I did admire the fact that he put what he was convinced was in Clark's best interest above his own. Even at the expense of his own life. He could have come across as cold when he suggested Clark should have let the kids on the bus die. But when it came to his own life he was consistent. Clark in the end learns from both of his dads, by becoming both superman and the alter ego Clark.

yeah, he was consistently a miserable man who saw the worst in mankind and couldn't see the best in his son. he deserved to die for being a moron.

Jor-el - Optimist. Even in the midst of his own people's destruction. Just like he said, their name means Hope. He was optimistic that his son would do the right thing. He was optimistic and hoped that Earth would accept his son and see the goodness in him.

Jonathan Kent - Typical miserable old frick. Constantly beating down his kid. Had zero faith in humanity. I never for one moment believed that he 1. wanted what was best for Clark, 2. loved Clark, 3. felt that Clark was good enough to be a positive for mankind.

His position was hostile and just overall unbelievable. And the whole "wave hand to Clark, let me die" scene was terrible. Terrible writing, terrible acting, etc.
