Many thought that Superman's decision not to save Jonathan Kent's life in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel was controversial, but his death scene was actually so important.

Jonathan Kent's Controversial Death Scene In Man of Steel

The controversial death scene is when Jonathan, Clark, and Martha find themselves unexpectedly beset by a tornado, alongside dozens of other civilians.

Jonathan is injured freeing the family dog from the car. Clark prepares to rush over to save him, only for him to hold up a hand to stop him moments before he is consumed by the tornado.

Fans were upset, saying that Clark Kent would never allow his father to die.
