Anonymous asked: "It’s about the fact that Superman should do what’s right, not what’s easiest." Seems like you didn't watch the film if you think he did what was easiest. As written, he made the best choice available to him, and that choice was clearly not the easiest.

I don’t want to turn this into a whole point/counterpoint about a DC film, but as written, he situation Superman faced in that moment was contrived, and his solution was crowd-pleasing nonsense. If you can’t come up with half-a-dozen ways in which Superman could have done something else in that moment to prevent that group of the only people still in Metropolis from getting killed, you certainly haven’t read many comics. (Here’s one: put your hand in front of Zod’s eyes. Here’s another: throw him up in the air like you’ve been doing for the last 25 minutes. Etc, etc.) But if you liked the film and it worked for you, that’s perfectly all right.

Sorry, but unless you're my Secret Santa, my inbox is closed right now.

So, for now, I recommend if you have an ASOIAF meta-question, please read my Frequently Asked Questions and search my blog / check my tags to see if I’ve already answered a similar question. (If I'm feeling upto it, I might answer anyway, but I'm afraid I probably won't. But hey, I've got some good posts I think, please check 'em out.) And as always,

PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT GAME OF THRONES.

If you have a question about Game of Thrones, please note I am no longer in that fandom and do not watch the show anymore. If you send a GOT question anyway, I will not answer and may delete it without even reading, depending. For any questions on how the show relates to the books, you can read this post.

Thanks so much, hopefully I'll reopen properly soon.
