They barely registered while I watched it. But what was there, really? His age, the fact he was born different from everyone else (Immaculate Conception--> First natural birth in centuries), when he jumped off the spaceship he had a Christ figure, he went to a church and was compared to Jesus, he is taken in by strangers who found him and raised differently than usual (Moses reference, but still), the Holy Trinity (Jor-El and Johnathan= The Father, Kal-El= The Son, Jor-El's ghost/hologram thingy= The Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost), and him arriving on Earth to help but still being persecuted by the people (the goverment in MoS). There's a lot, but I guess you do have to think to make the comparison. 1. Age is just a number, and we only speculate how old Jesus was (early-to-mid thirties).

2. Meh, no argument there.

3. I don't recall that.

4. Important to the mythos.

5. I think the coolness made up for that, and that seems a tad too looked-into (I might have just made that phrase up, but I digress).

6. Most superheroes go thorugh this anyway.

I'm it was the part when he had to save Lois after she got ejected. All your excuses are correct, but they still function as a references. I'm personally fine with all of them except the age. 33, according to my minor research, is the "agreed-upon age" or something and yeah, I wouldve prefered a lower-twenties, very young Superman.
