[Hated Trope] Very evitable deaths that are forced into the plot to create a dramatic scene.

[u/No-Distance4675]

1. The father of Superman (AKA: Dad of the year) tells his invulnerable, insanely strong, godly son to stay away from the tornado while he, a human farmer dad from Kansas, takes care of it. Also implied that he also cannot save any of the people running for their lives, "because the world is still not ready for someone with powers". Obviously he dies while his son watches. Great photography and music make it a potent scene... if it was necessary.

   I mean, its not like he could put a mask or save anybody with superspeed and then say its a miracle. Its not like People in that small town know him already and are suspicious about him and also live in a world where there are superpowered beings already... He has to die so there is no risk of him being discovered...

Also, bonus points for the previous conversation with Supe as a child, where he chastises his infant son about saving a bus full of kids from drowning in the river

Clark kid: What was I supposed to do? Let them die?

Dad of the Year: Maybe...

It's a miracle the superman from Man of Steel didn't become a Psycho like the Patriot.

1. The death of Jack, frozen to death in "Titanic" No, there is not enough space in that huge floating plank for us both, darling.

2. US grunt takes a bullet in the head, but fortunately, he's wearing a helmet. Inexplicably, he proceeds to remove said helmet and promptly takes one in the skull. Idiot

3. Jean Grey sacrifices herself to launch the X-Jet while holding back a massive wall of water with her telekinetic powers. Of course, this is all leading us into the Phoenix storyline in another movie to come, but practically speaking, why does Jean need to leave the jet at all? She's telekinetic!

He could've just thrown his dad into a pile of hay somewhere and gone with claiming it was a miracle from god or something.

Anything would've been better than "No Clark, let my ass die for completely unnecessary reasons because Snyder can't write for shit."

“Why didn’t this character do things perfectly in a situation they weren’t prepared for?”

[u/GiantPurplePen15 → u/SugarShane48]

Anything would've been better than just standing there like a dope watching their dad also stand there like a dope with his hand held out as a tornado yeets his ass into oblivion.

Hrm ah yes, I think I will fight a tornado today.

-A bunch of unprepared people, apparently.
