I feel like a monster for saying I felt nothing during Superman’s death and he’s my favorite character of all time

I actually laughed and chuckled in the theater when he died. Like wtf, it just seemed so stupid to me. His death was poor and ridiculous because we know he’ll come back since it’s just two movies in. As just a plot point to drive the story and his arc, it works okay for me, but not as an emotionally resonance event.

I cried though when rewatched it in the Ultimate Edition. Not really because he died still, but Amy Adams’ performance as Lois is just so damn good, and the movie overall works a lot better with better pacing and build up.
