Also dog sized insects would have tore him apart and 1 or 2 bullets wouldn't have put them down that easily

Why did Clark allow his father to die all because he did
Why did'nt Clark mom's say "fukk that shyt....go get your dad"?
Who gives a fukk if somebody see me fly over to save my father's life?
that entire scene is so dumb it's funny
first off he sacrificed his life for a fukking dog
second this muhfukka got super speed, telling me that he couldn't have just scooped his dad and ran?
and finally his dad was so paranoid about what would happen that he died to protect his son's secret, then when clark came out as superman no one really gave a fukk so he pretty much died for nothing lol
This.....had meand
To play devils advocate (And fukk it, because I like Man of Steel)....this scene isn't *just* about Clark hiding his identity. It's about the fact that he obeyed the wishes of a being "lesser" than him....he didn't just use his powers and bull ahead because he could....even though he may have thought it was the right thing to do...he STILL respected the wishes of his dad.
The most powerful being known....obeyed a human....obeyed his FATHER...even if it meant that Pa had to die...that concession is extremely important...it hints to the kind of hero he will become.
Also...it's funny that you brought up the fact that he died to save a dog. *Just* a dog.... So this "higher" form of life is willing to sacrifice everything for this "lower" form of life? Sound familiar? Think that maybe there is something thematic there? Pa Kent valued that dog's life...the same way Superman values human life.
We don't get to see the rest of the scene play because the video cuts off, but we get to hear him say what's important in this clip : I let my father die...because I trusted him.
People seem to dislike Pa Kent in this movie because he tells Clark to hide his powers for the time being (Emphasis : "I have to believe you were sent here for a reason...and even if it takes the rest of your life, you owe it to yourself to find out what that reason is"), he was safe but consider his perspective. He knew the implications of Clark and sheltered him accordingly. What would Clark have been like if they let him run wild? You think he doesn't snap that dude in the bar in half? You think he doesn't tell the military to fukk off at the end of the movie instead of appeasing them and working with them?
People get on the Kent's for that shyt...but (And this may be delving deep....but for discussion's sake), I personally think that Jor-El may also have been worthy of some critique. How...he'll be a GOD to them....you can read a lot into how Jor-El approaches his son.... Although, as with Kent, he is clearly good and you can't deny that he is 100 percent against Zods plan and pro-humanity.
The Kent's taught him restraint (Aside from his father, note how his mother straight up shows him how to suppress his senses) and to respect all life on equal terms, Jor-El taught him to test both himself AND humanity, and that he is ultimately must lead humans "into the sun".
That dichotomy is what makes him Superman.
Or maybe it really was dumb....
I dunno...I just dislike how most people read into this film. I don't think it's "Pa Kent was holding him back, thank god Jor El ushered him onto the correct path" the way I've seen many describe it. My apologies for writing a book....

No need for me to write a book on this one....
This characters in this show are terribly stupid. I may give up on this one if they don't tighten up the writing and fast.

A lot what you post is on point.
The only that doesn't fit is; Clark respecting a lesser life, as Pa Kent did.
Pa Kent put his life on the line...Clark just watched. I still content that Superman should have been able to snatch his dad and dog and this would have still been a decent film without Clark's mama being single. It would have made for a great scene.
Have Mama Kent, at home alone, crying. She thinks she just saw her husband die over a dog and her son die trying to save 'em.
The doggie starts barking. She opens her eyes and walks to the screen door...BOOM...on the front porch is the dog.
She opens the door. Cut to the dog...the same dog Pa Kent tried to save. Then to the horizon. Clark and Pa Kent (who has a leg injury and needs help walking).
The "you're not my real dad" thing works better if Pa Kent lives throughout the movie.
Like some reviews said; this movie was unnecessarily dark--that scene been a main culprit.
I don't apologize for my novel.

Knight makes a clutch jumper just before all the Monstars pile on him, flattening the poor sap into a giant pancake. The Tunes inflate him, and as Knight floats through the air farting out excess gas, we see a glimpse of the scoreboard — with the Tunes down by 10
About 25 seconds of actual movie time goes by as Knight deflates. There is no game action during those 25 seconds; everyone just stands around, talking about Knight’s predicament. The movie then cuts back up to the scoreboard, to reveal a 9-0 run that never occurred
