LOL! Other than Snyder telling them to stay put, no.I enjoyed MOS but was there any reason though that the family, I don't know, couldn't walk out of the path of Zod's heat vision? They weren't really trapped in any sense.
Given he was raised by a foster dad who inexplicably chose suicide by tornado I think Clark's making a panicked decision with Zod is only natural.An absolutely impossible situation takes the choice out of Superman's hands.
They may have still died when he killed him. He made the hard choice and took the risk.
A huge red hot heat beam rising up from the floor on your right, less than a few feet away travelling roughly crawling height with 10 foot high rubble on your left and the source of the danger in front. A single adult I could see maybe successfully getting out of it, not a man, his wife and two young children..

This is what took many out of the scene, and made people focus on Superman having to many other imagined options.
Adding mass derby a column, etc, simultaneously falling around them (almost killing them if they went that way) visibly trapping them, may have helped sell it more.

Weirdly, this gets so much scrutiny when The Batman has waaay more of these types of scenarios that can be picked at but rarely are.

No not inexplicably, but the explanation was lame. Clark can move at the speed of light - he could have grabbed Papa Costner, dropped him off somewhere safely out of sight and been back before anyone knew he was gone. And Superman would never let his father die like that regardless if people learned about his abilities or not. Plus they were on a highway and I don’t think it was established that any of the other people taking shelter were from Smallville and/or even knew them. There’s a reason that scene has spawned so many Costner memes & gifs.Not inexplicably.
We've no idea how fast he can move at 17 in MoS.No not inexplicably, but the explanation was lame.

He could push a sunken school bus out of river when he was @10 years old - I think it’s safe to assume he could have saved his father on the highway. And let’s not bring physics into a superhero movie discussion lol. But even if people saw him disappear, so what? It would have just been a fantastical story if they didn’t know who he was & the Kents didn’t stick around for the aftermath. I liked (& still like) MoS, but that choice for Jonathan’s death was for me a poor one. A heart attack (something Clark absolutely could not prevent) will always be the better call.We've no idea how fast he can move at 17 in MoS.
Let's say he can, Pa Kent would have been ripped apart by the sheer force put on him.
Plus, at least some people would have seen a teenage boy disappear, regardless of where they were from.
He wasn't Superman when he was 17.

That's such an important and emotional scene, Idk why ppl have problem with it. It has a huge meaning.We've no idea how fast he can move at 17 in MoS.

Yea I can’t wait to hear this oneWhich scenarios in ‘The Batman’ out of interest?
Because I'd like to believe that even as a young man Clark would have chosen to save a life (especially his father's) over protecting his secret. The fact that he chose to do so as a kid (with his classmates in the bus) demonstrated that, then he reverses course in this situation? Sure Jonathan counseled him to not reveal himself to the world, but (for me) it still doesn't track for his character. Also a pretty sh!tty move for a parent to put their child in that spot.That's such an important and emotional scene, Idk why ppl have problem with it. It has a huge meaning.
I wouldn't say it's safe to say he could do that. It doesn't appear like he has really tried to push his powers until he gets his suit.He could push a sunken school bus out of river when he was @10 years old - I think it’s safe to assume he could have saved his father on the highway.
