I hear you, but weirdly enough I feel the opposite! I do get that the hope and optimism part was severely lacking in MoS, and it’s more present in Gunn’s new movie. But I kinda think of Superman as the wooden goodie-two-shoes of the JLU animated series, and to me Henry Cavill did that better than David Corenswet did. I feel like the Superman from Gunn’s movie is kinda underpowered and a little too “normal quirky funny nerd guy” rather than the straight-edge force of nature I feel like JLU Superman is. I feel like MoS almost got that, but then injected a bunch of sadness and desaturation which brought it down a bit
Eh, I wouldn’t say that. I’ve heard people say that Corenswet was underpowered but he was literally fighting a clone of himself, if anything he was even more powerful than Cavill’s version by having to fight himself and with Lex having created an algorithm to counteract Supes’ moves. Cavill fights a Kryptonian that hadn’t had the long term exposure to the Earth’s yellow sun like he’d had his entire life. I liked Corenswet’s quirky-ness and felt he embodied a more good natured and hopeful version of Clark. Don’t get me wrong, I still felt that Cavill was a good Superman, but that his potential was squandered by poor writing.
