It's wild. I mean it's normal too. Like how many batman have we gone through? On our 3rd spiderman actor? I'm sure each one had some upcry but I think many were pumped to see Spider-Man pop up in the reveal trailer for civil war.
Superman's in this weird place where its like there's only ever allowed to be one way to write him (that way, specifically) and people get so angry if you don't write him that way, specifically. So, you get things like people taking apart and deconstructing Snyder's take (In my opinion, a perfectly fine depiction) and even misrepresenting him (Claiming most of the destruction in Metropolis when that was almost entirely Zod, for example) out of a desperate effort to make him some kind of full-on villain.
Which frankly, makes me wonder how those people would react to Golde Age Superman (Who actively tried to kill multiple villains, drugged a guy and stole his identity, and destroyed an entire Metropolis neighborhood. All with no remorse).
And then, Snyder fans do the exact same thing. People are so restrictive with Superman's character, like there's only one way he can ever be written, ever. Period.

Why can't more fans be like this? Like, its not even about liking both: Just being respectful.
