coverblack In this episode, we unpack the virtues of the oil rig scene and the virtues exhibited by Clark in that scene; we listen to Zack Snyder talk about the making of the scene and Henry Cavill talk about some of the stunt work with Jay Leno a week before the film’s premiere; and we discuss what makes a hero. We touch on the topics below:

What virtues did Clark show in this short scene?
What is the significance of calling him “Greehorn” three times?
How do the filmmakers show us Clark’s limitations here?

When does Clark show optimism, hope, humility, and possibly humor?
Why did they have Clark yell when propping up the derrick?
Why didn’t Clark use super speed to rescue the workers?
What did Clark’s heroism cost him?
What is the definition of heroism?
What’s the difference between classical, literary, and modern heroism?
How to answer the criticism that Superman is not a “real” hero because he’s strong and invulnerable?
Do you have to be a paragon to be a hero?
Why does this scene come before the flashbacks?
