12 Dumbest Comic Book Movie Characters
5. Jonathan Kent - Man Of Steel
There are plenty of reasons to hate on Man Of Steel, but one of the films biggest flaws is its handling of Jonathan Kent, played here by Kevin Costner. When Clark first displays signs of heroism, his adoptive father tells him that theres more at stake her than the lives of those around us. He shouldnt jump in and save people, because the world isnt ready for him yet.
This piece of awful advice becomes a driving force for the film, serving to make Kal El somewhat hesitant about embracing his incredible powers. It also results in one hugely questionable scene, though.
Stupidest moment: Pa Kent runs into a tornado to rescue a dog. Clark knows he could easily save him. But to stop Clark revealing his powers to mankind, Jonathan signals for him to stay put. Arguably, he dies as a result of his own dumbness.
