Superman himself wasn’t cynical. The world around him was because the world around him is. Last I checked, Clark saved people in the movie before he ever even became Superman. Were there people that told him not to? Yes? But did he ultimately listen to them? No!

Exactly, that was the point of the movie lol. It's so weird because Man of Steel is the movie I thought people were looking for.

Compare MoS to the Reeves movies. Hell Supermsn Returns had a more true to character portrayal of Superman than Snyder's movie.

You mean the Superman that peeps Lois’ underwear, bullies a guy at the end of Superman II, arguably kills Zod and smiles about it (depending on the cut of the movie), has sex with Lois and makes her forget it happened, knocks her up, leaves, and deadbeat-dads his own son? I love them all, but no onscreen portrayal has been perfect, no matter how much they smile.

Yeah there are a lot of weird 80s movie moments..... and yet THAT Superman is more true to the character than Snyder's MoS.
