Why didn't Khalil save his adoptive father anyway?
I would.
Because i cried that's why

Plot convenience. They had to kill him off and couldn't come up with anything original.
Compare it to how they handled Pa's death in the 1978 version, which genuinely hits you in the gut.

People are watching. He didn't want him to reveal his power level yet (and I doubt supes knew the extent of his power)
>>63070090
>STOP, INVINCIBLE SON
What did he mean by this line?
>>63070499
This, but also because Pa Kent knew Kal wasn't ready for people to know he had powers. That's it. I don't see why y'all have trouble with that. It's not even a very good movie jesus.
>>63070230
I mean jesus don't you understand the contrast? One is beyond Clark's control, teaching him you can't save everyone. The other is about teaching him "you're not ready yet don't you dare come out here for me." This isn't rocket science.

We understand it, but it's stupid and it's part of the reason why this movie is bad.
It's possible for people to completely understand something and dislike it.

He is so fast that noone would even be able to see him.
>>63070615
Oh alright cool. Hmm, how would y'all do it in the context of "Clark's not ready yet?"
>>63070615
We don't all live in gated communities where we have spats about having tacky lawn ornaments
Superman literally did nothing wrong
>>63070662
Do what?
>>63070775
Have Kent teach Kal that the people aren't ready for this and that he's not ready for this and that Kent will die.
>>63070631
This, also I think they would have gotten over it with Pa Kent alive and well instead of killed horrifically in front of them.
>>63070807
Well first off, I wouldn't, because that's fucking stupid.
But if I ABSOLUTELY had to, maybe showing Clark breaking something or accidentally hurting someone with his powers and that teaches him he's not ready and that he should hide them until he's capable of controlling them, because otherwise people would view him as a threat.
I wouldn't put "Successfully rescuing a bus full of children" as a negative thing that makes people afraid of you.
It makes sense for Pa Kent to refuse help from Clark, but it's also fucking stupid and the audience can't connect with it because if we had super powers we would save our loved ones regardless of what harm it may do to ourselves.
Thats uh, what being heroic is.

This.
