This really stuck with me too. Most villainous ceos in movies have cringing, fearful subordinates who are mistreated and don't really want to be there. Or they're stoic, inhuman automatons with no opinions. But most of Lex's employees seemed like normal people who enjoyed being on his side, loyally serving him and grovelling before him in hopes of sharing his glory over Superman. It was refreshing in a disturbing way.
The way Superman depicted complicit civilians is gonna stick with me.
Because usually when you have your villain, usually the civilians working for them are gonna be largely faceless or cowed. And then when the hero crashes the scene, only the armed goons are taken out while said civilians flee to remove any questions.
In here though, you can tell they all enjoy working for Luthor. The technicians in his hq have fun plugging in directions to Ultraman. And those in the base camp wear tropical shirts while listening to music and playing games on their downtime. Nobody is working with rigid confirmity nor are there moral reservations (the only objection shown was when his obsession almost got them killed).
So when Mr. Terrific arrived on the scene, it is actually fitting that he wiped out the workers alongside the armed goons.
Also the way Superman's fellow prisoners not only attempted to snitch on him but actually tried to out snitch each other deserves a whole other analysis.
