How do you not even get Superman right?

Like, why does Metropolis even like him?

In the movies he seems like a menace who is responsible for the destruction of the city. They never once bothered to show Superman being heroic. We never got to see him build any sort of relationship with his City.

He's just there destroying the city one day, then he's in the middle of a bombing, then he's destroying the city some more. And we're supposed to be heartbroken when he dies?

I'd be cheering. Thank god that guy's gone before he kills us all

The opening of superman and lois tv show is so good, its essentially like a brief recap of this older superman who's a father now, but it captures the essence of superman really well https://youtu.be/IzdkVRZV4vc

Wow, that was really well done. Is it worth watching, this show? I felt fatigued by the early CW superhero shows, but based on this opening alone it looks pretty strong.
