The thing I find funny, is the "twist" with his parents sending him to Earth to conquer it is something conservatives could jump on to help their anti immigrant stance. But whatever. It's not like they have a set of values they fall back on to make sure their ship is headed in the right direction.
That's the twist they went with? Isn't that just the plot of Dragon Ball?
Yeah, Gunn went with the old Twilight Zone plot, but the message got damaged in the crash so Clark thought “to serve man” meant to be helpful, and never learnt to cook.
(Plus, after growing up with the best versions of Ma and Pa Kent I've ever seen he wouldn't for a second have accepted the real message and he'd still have acted exactly the same way as he did when he believed it told him to help; Lara and Jor-El might be his biological parents, but his real parents, the ones who educated him, were always the Kents.)
Dragon Ball Z.
The plot of Dragon Ball is Journey to the West / boobs are fun / Toriyama forgot, let's do fights.
