Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Why doesn't superman go do something about North Korea or countries where women are getting their genitals mutilated or something instead of spending half his time pretending to be Clark Kent and working at some newspaper? He could change the entire planet, but he wastes 95% of his time doing worthless poo poo.

i cant believe anyone pays a dollar for anything superman related, he's the worst character in the american canon. hes got like no personality beyond boy scout, and his powers are whatever some dumbass writer wants him to have and hes totally invulnerable except when there's kryptonite which youd think wouldnt come up very often because its a rock from a planet on the other side of the god drat galaxy but everyone and their dog has a personal stash of kryptonite because when thats the only out you build in youve gotta milk it for all its worth. theyre still making superman movies? let me guess, clark kent sees something happen, disappears, rips off his shirt, and fights it til the problem is resolved. then lex luthor comes over and hes like "gently caress off superman ive got this kryptonite swastika, it works double because you're basically a jewish god" and superman is like "ah gently caress, my powers" but then hes able to trick lex luthor into destroying the kryptonite and kicks his rear end. is that the long and short of it? god drat, i need to call up dc and get on that gravy train. aquaman is literally cooler than superman.

Beerus. He's the living embodiment of the forces of entropy and destruction, but because this is Dragonball he mostly just wants to dance and eat pudding.

Yup. He just seems like a rushed idea overall.
"Hmm... How about a superhero invincible to everything?"
"No, how would anything be able to counter him?"
"I got it! I'll make him vulnerable to one thing! I'll call it kryptonitr!"
And it's why it is hard to innovate with him, and why there are no good Superman games. He is invincible to everything but kryptonite. What are baddies gonna shoot him with? Kryptonite guns? Bahahahah

The good thing is that everyone around you has more critical failures in combat, the bad thing is - so do you!
Lex Luthor was awesome because one of us, a mortal, a HUMAN, took a living god bestowed with every power ever, and gave his alien rear end a beating.

Batman is rich, smart and prepared for anything, Superman has a bitching invulnerable bod. If you could somehow switch their bodies (with red kryptonite, what else?) you'd end up with the smartest invulnerable immortal in the world and a slightly dim billionaire with rock solid ethics. I know which one I'd prefer to be.

All-Star Superman is pretty good. I don't care for the hero much otherwise.

Lex Luthor having an existential freakout at the end of rear end is one of the greatest moments in any superhero movie.
