My Problem with Superman Part 2.

I saw Superman. I'm not a huge DC fan and an admitted hater of the concept of Superman. Read all about that in Part 1 if you haven't already.   I will say that other than the almost forced obvious parallels to present day geo-political situations I thought it was a perfectly fine Superhero movie. He saves a squirrel. If that's too woke for you, you have problems.
Another thing I noticed...Why do all the bystanders in Metropolis seem unfazed by all the monster/alien fighting action that is going on? He saves a little girl who seemingly doesn't even notice the giant monster fighting 4 metahumans in broad daylight. Are metahumans and alien invasions just passé and boring to them now?

Here's where I get into pissing of the nerds territory again.  Why does he have a cousin and a dog? They make such a big deal about him being the sole survivor of his dying planet.  His parents leave a message for him about how he's Earth's only hope or whatever but he randomly has a cousin and she has a dog. Did she come with him in the escape pod from Krypton? I dont get it. It cheapens the idea of Superman being this lone survivor who has a fortress of solitude. Because he's the only Kryptonian left. But there was ZOD and the bad guys who were if my memory serves also from Krypton.  I guess I dont know anything about Superman and I don't care enough to learn.  
Oh one update from Part 1. I made a big deal about him wearing glasses is a shit disguise and I'm not sure if this is something that's common knowledge to Superman nerds but in this movie they point out that his glasses are "hypnotic glasses" that trick your brain into seeing a different face when he's wearing them.  That's fucking convenient.  Did they come with him in the escape pod from Krypton just in case?  Did he invent them? I thought gadgets was Batman's thing.  Hypnotizing glasses.  pfft.  Not so super now are you?  

I fucking hate Superman.

Old People.

I shouldn't talk shit because I'm almost 50 and I know we're supposed to respect our elders but sometimes there are people out there who have been the same shitty assholes for 50 years and they're just in a body that society has demanded that we respect. Been dealing with some really shitty boomers lately and it's frustrating because of this "respect your elders" shit.  You have done nothing but breathe for a couple decades longer than me while learning nothing about being a decent human being.  I don't like you. 

Not all boomers are shitty tho. Some are just weird. Maybe they were weird when they were younger or maybe they are losing their minds or maybe, which seems common too is that they just stopped giving a fuck what people think which I can fully respect. 

While I was taking a piss at work just now I heard this old guy whistling and humming a tune walking towards the bathroom. I didn't see him but he smelled old. Hard to explain that, but the old person smell, the crusty voice, the talking to themselves and the median demographic of the customers here I could tell he was probably in his late 60s to 70s. Anyway, I hear him clear his throat while he walks by behind me to the toilet stall and he hums part of a tune then whistles a part and then kind of grunts a "mm hmm" as he opens the bathroom stall. I hear him in the stall talking to himself. "ok...yup" and hum again dee dee da dum followed by more whistling the same tune again. He then grunts and clears his throat as he pre-flushes the toilet. Another whistle whistle hum hum as he sits down. while I wash my hands "uh huh, ok... daaa deee" whistle whistle. I can hear him still as I'm walking out of the bathroom.  Fuck yea, old weird dude. Way to not be an asshole.
