Part 4/15:
A major critique lies in the characterization and overall tone of the film. Clark Kent/Superman, portrayed by David Corenswet, is depicted as a wholesome, cartoonish figure. While there are numerous sequences showcasing Superman heroically saving individuals—sometimes humorously, even saving a squirrel—the portrayal leans into goofiness. This goofy tone is reinforced by frequent jokes and quips, undercutting moments that could be more serious or heartfelt.
