I don’t want to turn this into a whole point/counterpoint about a DC film, but as written, he situation Superman faced in that moment was contrived, and his solution was crowd-pleasing nonsense. If you can’t come up with half-a-dozen ways in which Superman could have done something else in that moment to prevent that group of the only people still in Metropolis from getting killed, you certainly haven’t read many comics. (Here’s one: put your hand in front of Zod’s eyes. Here’s another: throw him up in the air like you’ve been doing for the last 25 minutes. Etc, etc.) But if you liked the film and it worked for you, that’s perfectly all right.
Oooh, so doing the same thing for 25 minutes wasn’t enough, but doing it for *26 minutes* would do the trick!
And I’m glad Superman has the free time to cover Zod’s eyes for the rest of their lives.
