116673, But what's *wrong* with that position?

What's the real issue with it?

IMO it was a fantastic way to challenge what Superman is really all about in this universe. Yes, that could have been done without killing. I don't subscribe to the notion that there's no other way, for reasons you've explained, but I don't agree with the issue itself.

A Superman who is shown to make hard, painful choices for the greater good is infinitely more compelling than the singular morality others seem to prefer.

Personally, his scream felt sincere and, well, realistic. It didn't even approach the solar system of that Vader moment.
