  Superman doesn&apos;t need to be modernized. In every generation, there are cynical people. People that contemplate suicide. Contemplate taking a life for the sake of himself, or his family. Children that grow up in an awful family, with a horrible childhood. We belittle each other. Condemn each other for the sake of being negative. Lie. Hide who we really are. Do wrong. Superman is the juxtaposition of that. He always tells you that there is always another way. That no matter the lows, you should never turn to do wrong. You should always be a good thing. A good man. A great Superman

  My favorite part of the movie is that scene where Lois died in a car crash and Superman cried so hard that he spin the Earth backwards with one sentence:<br><br><i>&quot;IT&apos;S REWIND TIME!!!&quot;</i>

  It&apos;s amazing how, just like he did in the &nbsp;comics with actions comics 1, Superman is the hero who also started the sucess of super heroes in adaptations such as movies with the Christopher Reeve film, cartoons with the max fleischer cartoon and TV series with George Reeves &quot;Adventures of Superman&quot;. He is truly one of the most important super heroes of all.

  The time travel scene is easily explained to anyone demanding cynicism. Superman isn&apos;t turning the earth backwards. He&apos;s flying faster than the speed of light, which causes him to travel backwards in time, and we see the earth move backwards because we are watching him time travel, not because he&apos;s literally moving the earth directly.

  &quot;When it comes to the sheer quality of superhero movies today--&quot;<br>You and I definitely have drastically different opinions on these films.

  I kinda find it hypocritical when people say that superman wouldn’t work in today’s cynical world. Personally i think the 70’s was a MUCH more cynical time than today, and the fact that Donner’s superman was a smash hit speaks volumes about superman’s appeal

  Superman saves everyone and every generation. He&apos;s truth, he&apos;s justice, he&apos;s more human than many superheroes will actually be. Superman is the backbone of pop culture. He might be a pop culture charecter fiction, but he&apos;s inspiration and proof that we in real life can be better people. We can be heroes in our real life stories and do so much good, cause that what&apos;s Superman is all about and that&apos;s what greatness is all about. Long live Superman ❤️

  The turning the world backwards was never meant to be literal. It&apos;s Superman flying so fast that he himself is traveling back in time. Once he gets ahead of where he needs to be he moves forward to the moment where he could be there for Lois.
