“City People”? Is there a particular look you mean by this?
they were not main even supporting cast
Right, they weren’t especially important to the plot except one or two scenes. And don’t really have the emphasis that they’ll be particularly important in the future, which is contrary to past incarnations. Like I said, they worked for this movie… but, especially considering the “But wait… there’s more” feeling of the movie, and that it’s meant as the start of a new franchise… they feel flat and rather unimportant. Which felt disappointing.
Regarding your second paragraph, I see your point. I did not really think Clark parents will have much to do in the future (they honestly have not even in the better developed and much longer animated movies). They are just (usually) moral anchor for the early years of Superman and sometimes the “escape from the city life”… I would not expect them to feature in the future films
