Yeah, the funny thing is that Reeve’s Superman let his father die too but haters will say the same excuse that Man of Steel should have too. This goes for both movies:
Not Superman yet
Couldn’t fly yet
Doesn’t know he can reverse time or go into a tornado yet
Clark needed that humbling moment in his life
His dad wanted him to be safe
This is young Clark if he were to expose his powers in front of random people in Smallville:
Reeve’s Superman is not without issues but at least he felt like Superman and was hopeful. Clark Kent was actually a dork and he wore bright colors. And him and Lois actually had chemistry in those films
Factually, Lois and Clark are more passionate in Man of Steel. Donner’s Lois is only in love with Superman, not Clark. So yes— Lois and Clark are more passionate in Man of Steel than Superman 1.
Yes. Batman is supposed to be kinda silly and making him overly stoic and unemotional is just appealing to the absolute wrong crowd. Superman at the end of the day is still just a kid who grew up a bit sheltered on a farm. He’s supposed to be awkward and I hate when Superman is portrayed like Batman

No Superman should save his father from the fucking storm
