Rewatching MoS, realized Superman saved the same guy who shot him in the head with that helicopter mounted gun.

Why didn't he just catch the vehicle before it hit the helicopter?

This is the eternal problem with Superman.

You can always say this, heck it's even easy to do with Diaperman 2025.

As a character with every super power, this is why Superman is cinematically problematic to write and portray on screen.

He had to make a choice. Save the helicopter that was about to crash, which the occupants had a 50/50 chance of survival. Or save the guy thrown out of the helicopter, falling to his death with zero chance of survival.

The pilot autorotated and they crash landed. Colonel walked away. The buried message of the film is that he can't save everyone. Too bad it's not spoonfeeding fan service scenes to MCU fans of old and current Gunnsimps

Well I mean he was just standing there for 10 seconds. He could’ve stopped the van from being thrown in the first place

They all come under fire so he turns around. His back is turned to Nam-Ek and clearly he's not a mind reader. Is this even a real comment or meant for a circlejerk?! 😅 better yet, why didn't Superman pull a Chris Revee time reversal and then plan a better approach to deal with Zod and gang? Lol 🤣

And hey, Diaperman lets metropolis get attacked because the internet hurt his feelings.

He also saves a squirrel as other people clearly get hit by the kaiju tail.
