UC just asdds nonsense like a second girl bruce saves at the beginning, a few quick shots and a couple (VERY FEW) extended scenes with more information. None of it changes anything. Is Lois's story changed ONE WHIT by learning that the bomber went shopping and had a lead lined wheelchair? She never even TELLS Superman this AND HE'S HAVING A CHRISIS OF CONSCIENCE!! The bribed african lady literally interacts with one cast member (offscreen) befor getting brutally murdered, and the flippin' senator never brings it up again!!
You're telling me this nonsense actually redeems the movie? None of the new stuff changes anything. The pacing is better, that's the ONLY improvement.

Yes it does, as many people would agree. Little stuff like that add to the characters in those scenes, which contribute to character development. The little kids line during that beginning scene showed us more the impact of the Metropolis invasion on society trying to cope with a horrifying event. The stuff with Clark Kent that was added helped his character. Like when he calls his mom after the saving montage, the film makes you feel for him. When he goes to investigate about Batman, the scene with him crashing into the Batmobile and tell him to shut his light off of the sky makes A LOT more sense based on what he saw in Gotham. The UC not only makes it more coherent, but adds to characters and the themes.

Damage control. I get it. WB trying to save face. And dum dum fanboys took the bait hook, line, and stinker.

Dude, nothing adds to the characters because in the end all the new information never goes anywhere! The story is unaffected.

He's all heroic in one scene, and in the next he's "nothing matters".
But i'll double up on you, does any of this change anything else about the movie? Is Batman effected at all? Wonder Woman? Hell, PERRY WHITE? Literally NONE of the information that Superman might actually be good is communicated to anyone else in the movie other than the one who found it, other than his mom's name is fvcking MARTHA!

It changes a lot of stuff, especially for the audience. With the extra scenes, the perception that the audience has of Superman changes drastically and for the better.
Which would be worse - to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?
