Noo. You don't get it.
Superman's stories are so great, because they do delve into the nature of what it is to be a good american man. They aren't just one dimensional power fantasies of a god with literally all the powers author could think of.
He really needed both laser eyes and ice breath, because without it, the planet busting strenght, flight, speed and shooting mini supermans just wouldn't be able to capture the human condition so well.

Ok then... What is the best superman movie then? I would LOVE to finally change my opinion of this """character"""
@LukeAlmighty I like the 1978 one, even if Lex Luthor there is lackluster
but watching movies is a normie way, trve knowledge seekers go straight to the source material, and because western comics are the way they are, this directly depends on your level of various comic book shenanigans tolerance, like, would you like some 40's goodies or 90's-00's ow the edge or 70's complete crack-fueled funsies, or 80's more serious sci-fiery approach
given that you are a star wars nerd, my bet is on the 80's-90's more serious works, but before I start assembling "baby's first Superman" recs I need to know whether I should
besides, there's also the 90's cartoon, it's also good
