I disliked how Lois was portrayed in this situation. She could have done more than just touch his face and say “no” over again.

The man she loves is about to go on a suicide mission. They’ve nearly drowned, Doomsday is tearing the world apart, Diana is holding him as long as possible and they are all in total shock and just trying to survive.

She has no superpowers. Cannot physically stop him. Just literally pulled him from the water so he didn’t drown. He’s eerily calm because he’s decided and realized that he finally understands what his father meant all along and that even if humanity rejects him humanity is worth both living and DYING for and she is the center of his world.

What pray tell would you have this woman do in this moment of stress and peril in the 10 seconds she has to process this? She’s being tender with him trying to get him to look at her before he goes on a suicide mission and she’s saying “no” not because she doesn’t care or something but because she probably wants him to stop and think and consider another way. She spent the entire movie proving how much she loves him. Being the only person who never gives up.

And yet….that’s still not enough for people. She’s not allowed to act like a real human being in a moment of shock trying to stop the man she loves from a god damn suicide mission. I guess she’s supposed to just sit there and nobly accept his death without trying to stop him? Or make some kind of grand speech? Just give him up for the greater good without that moment of struggle? Where is the humanity in that?

I dislike that no matter what this woman says or does—in virtually any medium bc this film is just the newest BS—that it’s never enough for people. Never. It wouldn’t matter what she said or did. Someone would find something wrong with it. It’s too much or not enough. She can never win with anyone. That’s what I dislike.

The scene is pure and genuine. It’s a moment of humanity in a movie bogged down with CGI and often lacking humanity. They are the humanity in this movie which is ironic since they are the ones who seemingly get the most shit from fandom. And yet they are what is good and pure in this movie. Their love, even in this last moment, is good and pure. Protect them at all costs.
