Because it makes no sense. Hell, Robot Chicken made fun of it.

“According to the codex, this movie goes on for another three hours! But Kevin Costner’s too big of a star for just a cameo. Surely he wants to be in this movie for more than just a lousy 10 minutes-“

The scene after explains it. Did ya pay attention? 😑

Still fucking stupid.

Hey! Star Wars makes no sense! Hell, Robot Chicken made fun of it.

Robot chicken explains what all the snydertards refuse to admit. This scene was an abomination.

Robot chicken takes the piss out of everything. That doesnt mean its a bad scene or that it doesnt make sense. Clark was not aware of the full extent of his powers and so was unaware that he was able to save him. Watch thr movie and tell me where it says he knew about his powers of Super Speed or Flight at that point (given that it is a flasback)

This is hilarious. Anyways, this scene makes no sense whatsoever, sure, his dad never wanted him to use his powers and make the people find him strange and alien. But its fucking stupid. The comics did it better, a heart attack is something even he cant fix, thats deeper imo.

Jonathan could've just let Clark save the dog in the first place 😂😂

Probably because people who don't like this scene, don't have children 🧐🤔
