"It’s about the fact that Superman should do what’s right, not what’s easiest." Seems like you didn't watch the film if you think he did what was easiest. As written, he made the best choice available to him, and that choice was clearly not the easiest.

I don’t want to turn this into a whole point/counterpoint about a DC film, but as written, he situation Superman faced in that moment was contrived, and his solution was crowd-pleasing nonsense. If you can’t come up with half-a-dozen ways in which Superman could have done something else in that moment to prevent that group of the only people still in Metropolis from getting killed, you certainly haven’t read many comics. (Here’s one: put your hand in front of Zod’s eyes. Here’s another: throw him up in the air like you’ve been doing for the last 25 minutes. Etc, etc.) But if you liked the film and it worked for you, that’s perfectly all right.
