I have listed several things I think he could have done. You quoted some of them in the paragraph you wrote this in response to. If you are not going to pay attention, Chaos Isaac, then I do not believe I will continue to engage you.
Thank goodness, 'cause you're really not engaging. Also, way to go assuming i've read all your posts before I made my original comment.
Seriously, what I did read... wasn't that viable. To me, you don't seem to take more factors into play, such as mental and emotional status, experience, and condition into play.

Then you are excusing Kal-El from taking responsibility for his actions because it's some inevitable force of nature in which his decisions play no part. Spin it as pragmatism all you like, but it's what you're doing.
I mean, the whole, spinning things endlessly without actually addressing them to dismiss the point under false pretenses got really, really old. I never said he shouldn't take responsibility or face the consequences. By all means, he should. But trying to actively blame him for deaths that weren't under his control is silly. "You can do better, you nitwit." Is a fine comment, but you seem to be going, "It's all your fault, idiot, god why can't you save all those people while a super person is punching your face in, jackass." And, ignore the smart-ass tone that I put that in, it's honestly how I abbreviate things.
But I would have to disagree with that, as I see that as kind of the point. Superman is not competent enough to do any of that kind of thing yet. He doesn't think that much beyond the moment, as shown when he takes out a dudes truck or a satellite. That kind of thinking is, as of yet, beyond him. He's in the fight, and trying to settle that, and beyond that, he can't really address the rest on the fly yet.
That's just my opinion though.

Uh, in Return of the Jedi
I'm not gonna lie. Good catch. I seriously forgot about that. I've only seen that movie like... 3 times? 'Cause it's terrible. And when I say terrible, I mean the Ewoks destroyed that movie and I skip over anything that happens on Endor. 'Cause it's bad.
Irrational dislike. Maybe. What doesn't involve Endor is pretty cool.
I had written more, but honestly we're just arguing pointlessly with differing viewpoints, and the rest doesn't matter. (Though, you seemed to not have considered the city factor in the city - laser vision lure thing)
