but where was the arc for that character? what made him want to always do good? it wasn't his adoptive father right? didn't he preach the opposite his whole life? didn't he tell him to keep his powers to himself?
so if clark starts the movie as just a guy that wants to help people, and he ends the movie as just a guy that wants to help people... then in what way did we really get to witness that character grow? how was he a changed man by the end of the movie? WAS he really a changed man by the end of the movie?
also was this really a character you wanted to spend more time with? was he really all that delightful or charming in any way? tell me at what point during all the brooding and moping around did you actually come to like this guy? in fact who did you like more... clark in MOS or tony stark in IM1? clark in MOS or steve rogers from TWS? who was more positive and assured? who was more charismatic and fun to be around? who was more entertaining? who was easier to root for?
