- Superman’s whole angry/upset take on being interviewed and being unpopular. Maybe you’ve been in a Fortress of Solitude for a decade, Clark, but not everyone in the world is going to react well to a guy stopping a war single-handed. Even if you flew straight into Ukraine and stopped a major Russian advance without hurting anyone, some people are going to be upset and scared. Don’t read the comments. I hope this isn’t too representative of Clark in the film.
Yeah, I’m kind of hoping that scene plays out differently in the movie as part of an extended discussion because that struck me as weird. Clark is a reporter as well - he’s not (or shouldn’t be) unaware of the fallout of his actions or the nature of the questions, and his defense seemed kinda childish?
Even reporters can allow their personal bias to block how others see the world. Especially if their world views are diametrically opposed and the reporter is personally involved. The scene will be saved, for me, if Lois manages to make him see that.
It is also possible that Lois is pushing him on purpose to help him understand something that he can't see because he is too invested and too close to. That is one of the many things that a spouse/partner is good for. They often know you better than you do, and most depiction of Lois have her being the one who really grounds Superman and lets him see himself.
