We all have opinions
Henry Cavill as Superman might be the biggest waste of potential in comic book movie history

Man of Steel was very hard to watch..fell asleep on it like 3x

Rest In Power Kobe
It’s mad homoeroticThe crush internet nerds developed on this flop when they found out he was one of them

I actually enjoyed Man of Steel and do agree.
I think a Death of Superman arc somewhere between that time and now would've been incredible.

Peoples complaint with Superman will always be he's not christophers reeves enough.
(this what they mean when they say he doesn't smile enough, or that henry was too stoic or serious)
But a lot of people don't want that. (or they only think they do) Reeves version belongs in the 70s, Just like the Adam West version of batman belongs in the 60s.
Henry Cavil was the best modern approach we've seen to date. and they could have built a solid franchise around him if they didn't listen to the vocal internet voice asking them to make a product that will ultimately go over less well.

Superman is already all powerful. I like that idea of him having interpersonal flaws to compliment that.
Gives the writers more range to work with. Instead of all his opponents being weaker and resorting to kryptonite, or conversely making them more and more powerful, (ie dragon ball z) You can have him deal with different challenges, uncertainty, doubt, mistrust, public perception etc
Can't do that if he is just a perfectly nice guy who gets along with everyone, and is loved by everybody

Notice all his solo films were more serious in tone than something like guardians though.The blueprint for a modern Supes is at Marvel lol.
Winter Soldier, Civil War, First Avenger all toned down the comedy and goofyness.
Dude wasn't smiling at everybody. he was looking at them like this
Evans played the boy scout role, while still having a serious edge perfectly. Something that Cavill couldn’t do.Notice all his solo films were more serious in tone than something like guardians though.

If thats the case blame the writers. Chris Evans isn't any better of actor than Henry Cavill
Chris Evan aint some oscar threat
I think Evans is a better actor
I think he was great in the cap role, but below average every other time i see him
I don’t think Cavill was the issue, I think it was more of the director. Man of Steel was a good point for the character to grow into that traditional Supes but they cannibalized his character arc to make shytty crossover films.
Also him being a nerd is a positive, I'm sure him being attached to passion projects like Witcher and 40K will bring fans of either him or their properties to watch. I’m very interested to see what they’re going to do with 40k Amazon show if he has any input in it.

Wtf u talkin bout? Ya Bish
cavill was the worst superman so far. Yall glaze those DBZ fights so much its ridiculous. Dude had no memorable scenes that didnt involve a fight.
I think it's rare for an actor to look good in bad superhero films. The script is usually carrying superhero films and if the script is bad. Then the actor won't recover unless they looked good in previous films. Garfield clears Holland when talking about spiderman, but that doesn't matter because the actual film Holland was involved in were better.
I think most of the DCEU is cursed like how do you fumble Jesse Eisenberg Lex Luthor. I thought they were going to make him channel his Zuckerberg role in Social Media, but they ended up writing him as an overtop crazy villain
At the end of the day, Man of the Steel isn't a bad film and I stand by it's one of the better superhero films, but it does have its wtf moments that hurt it.
