Originally posted by HappyGirl: I can't say as much as I'd like right now. (I'm typing on my iPad with a child asleep on my shoulder.). A couple of thoughts, though:
1. I agree with Bob aboutt Clark killing Zod. Zod has declared his genocidal intent for the entire human race. That's also why Clark couldn't take the fight elsewhere; Zod is out to kill humans, not to kill Clark. If Clark had flown off, Zod wouldn't have followed him. He would just have started systematically slaughtering every human in sight. So, although the collateral damage was distasteful to me, I don't see how Clark could have avoided it. This is also a very inexperienced hero, so he gets a lot of slack from me.
2. Ditto everyone's disgust with JK dying to save the dog. Sorry, dog lovers, but you owe it to your wife and son to not risk your life for the dog. Personally, I would have saved my dad whether he liked it or not. Let him yell at me later when he's safe.
3. The part I did admire about this JK is how he taught Clark to be nonviolent. That's what made Clark so heartbroken over having to kill Zod. He'd spent his whole life disciplining himself not to strike back, but in the end Zod gave him no choice.
4. Loved how Lois and Clark worked in tandem to save earth. This Lois is no damsel in distress. She's Clark's equal, not his groupie.
5. Perry must know S=CK. it's the only possible reason he'd hire a completely unqualified applicant like Clark. Either that, or Clark forged credentials the same way he forged previous identities for previous jobs.
6. Yes, Several times I wanted to shout at Clark to st giving all his secrets away. I have to agree that Clark was not really qualified. Even if we add in that he did actually get a degree in journalism before doing his odd jobs, and may have even filed a story here or there over the years, it still seems a bit much for Perry to higher him. I had no problem with Clark killing Zod. It seemed the only reasonable response to the situation. If anything I think Clark waited to long to kill Zod.
