Isn't that how our culture teaches us to be though. Look at the pretty people and ignore the not so pretty people. I think Reeves just reminded us that sometimes heroes are hidden among us. Through his portrayal of Kent, he taught us not all heroes look like Superman. Throughout, you wanted Lois to fall in love with Clark and not Superman.

Of course when I was little I wasn't thinking all this. I just wanted superman to kick ass. Then again, maybe subconsciously this may have set in too.
