I have to be completely honest. The more I've seen things like Superman: The Animated Series, My Adventures with Superman, Superman & Lois and Superman (2025), the less enamored I've become with Man of Steel.

Comparatively, Man of Steel just feels drab and unimaginative.

 

[The Realist]

Its main problem is that it drains all charm, color, and personality from the character.

Now that we know that the General being an asshole to Clark might actually have been the Martian Manhunter, doesn't that take away all the jeopardy from at least half the movie?

I did say "might".

I am aware that we don't know when J'onn adopted that personality, and whether it's an original character, or he replaced a real living breathing person with a full life and a military career, either temporarily or completely, but that's really overthinking it.

MM has been a general named Swanwick.

This guy's name is Mori.

Not seeing a connection.
