No, no you don't. You do not have first hand experience of the show. You have descriptions from people with biases that could be different from your own.

None the less, I got a Non vibe.
I'm a little surprised by how much I'm liking the show. It doesn't knock my socks off or anything, but I find it enjoyable enough.
It's a new, different type of Superman story without resorting to darkness from him as a character. He's still Superman, still as moral as ever, just dealing with different types of problems than we've seen him tackle before.
I don't know if it's sustainable for 8 seasons or anything, but at least a few.

I hope not. We've already got an alternate Luthor and recast/redefined Sam Lane and Morgan Edge. I don't want to see new/contradictory versions of any other Supergirl characters. There must still be plenty of characters left on Superman's bench that Supergirl hasn't already poached.
But hey, if there were a second version of the character, would that be Non binary inclusion?

He's toast
All the more reason he's probably a non-Non.
Wouldn’t have mattered. Zod would have just gone back in. He wanted mass destruction.
Plus the city is massive
By Krptonian standards Metropolis is a thatched village.
He was going to bulldoze the whole thing regardless.
Killing the people didn't matter either.
Sex was going to be outlawed.
This was the last generation of naturally conceived humans... If he won.
Humans were going to be clone race too, and their numbers reduced to something manageable, until they finally stopped making new humans, because The new Kryptonians needed less help keeping the trains running, and they had enough robot building factories.

Maybe less commercials in Canada?

@thribs @Guy Gardener Doesn't matter if he was unsuccessful; He should have been shown trying. Liked about everything else in MoS except that indifference to the city's peeps during most of the fight.
I'm also liking the current show. The story and cast are strong and they've kept me interested.

I think the indifference toward bystanders is just Snyder's views on what a hero is. He sees heroes as people who do whatever needs to be done, no matter the cost.
Thank you. Sick of people forgetting that Superman wasn't in a position to dictate the fight as easily as some people would have you believe.
Zod was trying to kill Superman.
The only reason the fight stopped there is because Kal stopped running.

Yup: I'm in Canada.
Classic overcorrection.
"We want Superman to punch some one!"
"Ok: how about he punches people through a small town (trashing it), through a city (trashing what's left of it), then breaks a guys neck?"
"Jeez dude, who hurt you?
It's a little bizarre how Man of Steel seems always to find its way into any Superman conversation (and I've been plenty guilty of it myself, though I'm trying to do better). We've got a bright, shiny, and quite wonderful new show to talk about, and here we are drifting into debates about an eight-year-old film, about which everyone who cares has already had their say two dozen times over.
Incredibly divisive movie, and one which unfortunately separates Superman fans into armed camps, when we mostly all just liked the same fun, goofy, idealistic stuff before.

His movie his call but very un-Supes to me.
Thank you. We are not Monday-morning-quarterbacking Supes actions here but the choices of TPTB that made the film.
The super-heroics are very well done. And Superman is doing a nice mix of Superman things. I also like that Lois gets to be Lois Lane. The BvS extended cut had her doing an investigation, but these first few episodes have done a great job at really showing her character. People often argue about whether one version of Superman is the "right" version, but rarely discuss Lois Lane who is best done when she is a take no s**t, fighting for the story, investigative reporter. I hope that what we've seen of her story so far is only the beginning.
Only because that's the way it was written. I love the Man of Steel too, but the fight scene at the end was just a waste of money and screen time for me. Not because of Zod or Superman's decisions because Zod and Superman are fictional characters whose actions are dictated by a script. A script that could have found a very different and satisfying ending.
