It’s arguably the worst and most intense element of those things, and not at all representative of people or their opinions.What we’re seeing (as presented by the trailer - who knows what the film is about) isn’t Clark being unhappy about some nasty X comments, it’s apparently his anger about an angry crowd throwing stones at him, and probably a negative press response, because he stopped a war. He should have known that would cause trouble. Of course he did it anyway - who’s Superman if he doesn’t save lives? - but it would be naive to think there wouldn’t be blowback.The emotional response isn’t the problem - the immaturity of the response in what seems to be a practice media interview is, because Clark should know better. Lois is of course pushing it because she’s a great reporter and she absolutely knows what should come up in an interview, but honestly none of this should be a surprise, as written.</blockquote>
