Warning: Spoilers Ahead for Earth-Prime: Superman & Lois!

Earth-Prime: Superman & Lois just threw some major shade atZack Snyder's Man of Steel. The 2013 film by Snyder is no stranger to controversy, with one particular scene earning the ire of many who felt like Henry Cavill's portrayal of the world's most iconic superhero didn't live up to Clark Kent's pure standard.

While the film has many fans, there are many others who feel Man of Steel got Superman completely wrong. One choice made to Superman's father, Jonathan Kent, has been a lightning rod for fan discussion, both positive and negative. In Man of Steel following a scene where young Clark Kent saves a busload of his classmates after it veers over a bridge, he has a heart-to-heart with his father. He's criticized for revealing his powers, risking being hunted by people who don't understand. Clark then asks his father "Well, what was I supposed to do? Just let them die?" Jonathan's response is a surprising one. He just sighs to himself then tells Clark "Maybe." Though some argue that Zack Snyder's Justice League fixes Pa Kent, the scene is still a major sour point for others.

In the first panels, a young Clark uses his super-speed to push a kid out of the way of an oncoming school bus, saving their life. He looks up to Jonathan and tells him "I'm sorry Dad. I know that was--" Jonathan
