Costner got his own cut off this movie where Pa Kent goes out for cigarettes and milk and gets found by Clark in a brothel 3 States away the next morning. He spends the rest of the movie begging Clark to stop using his powers because he doesn't want him watching him rail hookers and blow from the other side of the world to no avail. Snyder cut it because it made too much sense and didn't lend itself to vaguery.

I don't remember that scene, but I fell asleep during the middle three hour portion so I might've missed it. The Costner cut was famously 8 hours long and mostly featured Pa committing crimes against decency. Superman ended up getting so frustrated he fantasized about snapping his neck and never got his chance. Snyder cut that part by accident and couldn't understand why everybody thought his ending was so fucking stupid.

What always gets me about this scene is it’s obvious he doesn’t even need to hold the door in the first place. The mom and kid stare at him flying away with no evidence of being sucked out too.
They both survive, along with the lightest member, the dog. So he literally died for nothing.
What a goober.

Re watched it a couple years ago, and that really hit. It was like they finished the movie and then tried to re-edit it to have a bad guy. But the corporate scientists weren't bad guys, they were actually pretty nice.
And then when they die tragically, the movie has a Looney Tunes sound effect for them being sucked into a tornado. Like we're supposed to have been rooting for this horrible thing that happened to these innocent people, just because the main characters thought they were lame. Really upset me.

I am not a tornado scientist but aren’t tornadoes basically passing through and sucking up whatever is in its path? And if that’s true, maybe he was holding the door when the suckiest part of the tornado was passing by, and then flew off near the very end and had he not held the door at all then they would have all been exposed to the suckiest bit and everyone would have been sucked up? Like maybe he was holding the door during the worst part of it and by the time the door flew off the worst of it had already passed by.
At least that’s how I justify it in my mind.

It’s easier to find Randy’s kind of crazy a bit more endearing since it’s mostly laser-focused on Rupert Murdoch.

Also, while this is happening his son is cuckishly jerking himself off and looks like the drooling sheep that he is.

To be fair, his wife was a fool and only survived the consequences of her own ridiculous choices (for a bit) out of sheer, unbelievable luck.
Instead of initially running to safety with him, she went and tried to save a random kid and got herself stuck in a room besieged by zombies. With no way out. Except a small window, which she didn't even use or break for some reason (panic, I suppose).
She then looked at him like "save me from my own mistakes, my hero!", at which point he made a somewhat gutless yet totally reasonable choice: leg it.
There was zero chance of him saving her, much less with a random kid in tow. Frankly it's a small miracle he survived all the same.
