The vast majority of Marvel Comics over the decades have ranged from laughable to mediocre to tripe (including Busiek's Kang Dynasty). Even moreso when compared to the MCU.

Nothing from MoS tells me Clark didn't understand murder was bad. That might not be what you're saying, but if it is, its a serious misread of the movie IMO.

Right. It's that he did not know what else to do when faced with someone like Zod.

It has been a thing in Superman lore for like 40 years. It's a fundamental part of his development at this point.

Vampires are not sexy or cool or antiheroes. They are monsters of the worst kind.

It isn't a "review" if you did not run the adventure or significantly incorporate the sourcebook into your game.

Eh. I don't think you need to use a gaming product to review it, as long as you make that clear up front. There are all kinds of things I can spot as problem areas without actually using a game, and I'm willing to assume other people who have interacted with games long enough can do the same.

The whole movie repeatedly shows us that Superman doesn't really value human life or take action to preserve it.

Oh, no. I don't read it that way. Pa Kent drives it into the young Clark for his whole life that he must not reveal who he is or what he can do. Pa Kent is willing to die to protect that secret. You can't expect the young man to go against his father's last wish like that.

Pa Kent, however, has no concept of threats like Zod....

Of course, this Superman killed Zod -- other people's lives just aren't as important as his.

If other people's lives don't matter to him, there's no reason to kill Zod at all - he could let Zod have his way. He can join Zod on the Krypton-formed Earth, and be happy. Why not?

It is only the threat to other people's lives - bystanders he doesn't even know, in the train station - that finally drives him to kill Zod.

I'll be honest with you, it's gotten to the point where I'm tired of good witches, vampires, ghosts, etc., etc. At one point it might have been novel to turn these on their head and present them as good, but these days I want a good old fashioned witch who wants to render the fat of unbaptised children to use as an ingredient in her flying potion. I did appreciate the Night's Black Agents book where they advice to the GM on what to do if a player asks to create such a character. "Not in this game, bub."

By the end of the movie, Metropolis has suffered damage comparable to a nuclear weapon being dropped there, minus the radioactivity.

"Nuclear weapon" is a wide range. Which makes this a safe statement, but a meaningless one.

Snyder's version of Superman simply doesn't even have the moral compass that the average child does.

It is pretty clear you feel strongly about this, so I won't argue it with you.

There's a fair number of real-world witches who'd likely raise - and have - a valid objection to this...

While I respect the religious beliefs of others, witches are just as much a part of my cultural heritage as it is theirs. Just because some folks in the late 19th century decided to invent a new religion with witches doesn't mean the rest of us have to do without.
