re: Why was Man of Steel so hated?

I really liked it.

I don't understand the beef. If Superman fought several other supermen who were intent on destroying the planet, there would be mass destruction.

I had two main problems. No way anyone would just let that happen to their father. I don't just call BS, I call eyerolling levels of BS requiring vision repair surgery.

Also the ending. I didn't mind what happened to Zod, but did mind the way it happened. They beat each other up for 2 hours then suddenly snap.

The idea that Superman would never kill perhaps stems FROM what happened in movie one. He now has to deal with the death and destruction he caused so going forward he will strive to do better.

A few million deaths certainly is better than the whole fracking planet.
