Allow me to rant about something:

In "Man of Steel", Superman wraps a truck of a restaraunt patron around a pole because the patron made a sexual pass at the waitress. This is supposed to be "just deserts" for the man who is inteded to be seen as a villain.

The scene is juvenile and feminine. Superman, who is to embody virtue, just cost a man his livelihood in an emotional outburst. Even if insurance covered it, it cost the insurance company because he was offended on behalf of m'lady.

It used to be that females would slap a guy who grabbed their ass, not just look awkwardly uncomfortable, and society accepted that as just. It was physical. With a slap she in no uncertain terms made it clear that she didn't want his advance. The whole matter was resolved with an even exchange of violence, not this extreme, feminine reaction where someone's life is destroyed from an inappropriate touch because nothing is more henous to a female than an interaction with an unworthy male.

@DoubleD That movie was so gay. Terrible plot, terrible portrayal of the characters, except for Lois, whom I actually liked because she was somewhat even-tempered and not a wholesale-in-bulk cunt.

The whole Snyderverse was a disaster. I somewhat liked the Justice Leave Snyder cut, but everything around it was garbage. In my opinion, that's the only movie worth seeing and keeping around in that universe.

Maybe I'll get it on BluRay, now that I'm thinking about it.

@RoninGrey True that the movie was generally bad. The scene just popped into my head and brought out my thoughts.
