Henry Cavill was popular with audiences because he truthfully delivered a powerful and emotionally impactful portrayal of Superman in the DC Extended Universe. The character had physical power but also weakness, making the character relatable and honorable. Many fans saw Cavill as the quintessential Superman, with strong connections developed.
David Corenswet now assumes the role, and comparisons keep coming. Some fans view Corenswet as a substitute or, even better, as a new take on the character, and this will only add to the existing debates and emotional responses across social media.
