@JosephKahn 1) it's a modernization of William Tell
2) it's not really passed off as "good parenting", John doesn't know what to compare it against, and was groomed to become GL, so he's grateful because from his perspective it was successful
@Ositobandito_@MrKarin20 Except the scene in Man of Steel is actually really stupid.
But, then again, so is having Jonathan Kent tell Clark he should let people die to protect himself.
@cinema_ghana@MrKarin20 Considering that the rest of the movie, when he's still recovering from the Kryptonite poisoning he goes back and continues, no.
The issue is that he is literally unable to do anything here.
