Only mildly. Lois tracks down Clark by interviewing people who have seen him. She doesn't mean him harm and he doesn't feel threatened. At the end, Clark destroys a surveillance drone and sternly tells a general to leave him alone.

Not exactly a dragon, but a flying creature on Krypton is injured in flight and is presumed dead.

Yes. Not intensely, but there is a close up of a man groping a woman's butt, which meets the definition of sexual assault.

(1) Children trapped on a sinking bus swim to the ceiling and gasp for breath. (2) As soon as Clark leaves Earth for the first time, he gasps for breath and loses conciousness as he adjusts to a new atmosphere.

Many buildings collapse, likely killing people, but we don't see anything explicit. A woman is trapped in rubble and starts to panic, but doesn't seem hurt and is saved.

Clark is strapped down to a table, gloated at, and injected with something. It doesn't last very long, though, and it didn't bother me as much as I was worried it would.

Fall yes, death no. (1) Jor-El jumps off a cliff, falls for a while, and is caught by a flying animal. (2) A bus full of children falls off a bridge into water, but everyone is saved. (3) Various soldiers and Lois fall and are rescued by Superman.

(1) Kal-El's parents sorrowfully discuss their imminent deaths and how it will prevent them from watching him grow up. Jor-El is stabbed by Zod, Lara Lor-Van is immolated in an explosion when Krypton explodes. (2) Clark Kent's father argues with his son and then lets himself be killed by a tornado rather than let his son's powers be revealed. (3) Zod kills the AI "ghost" of Jor-El.

Not directly, but the bit where buildings are collapsing could be triggering in both a 9/11 and earthquake sense.

There is an "alien" needle. Doesn't look like a normal syringe, but you do see it pierce the skin. It bothered my needle-phobic friend, so take that as you want.

Not severe. A school flashback shows young Clark experiencing sensory distress from his powers and hiding in a closet. His mother and teacher express kindness and empathy, but he can overhear the other children gossiping and mocking him.

It's unclear how the Kryptonian artificial birth pods work, but a ship full of them is destroyed. The nebulous concept of their "souls/dna" is still safe, but it seems unlikely that they'll be able to be born now.

Although gender expression does not definitively indicate sexuality, LGBT audiences will no doubt feel a connection to Faora because of her androgynous gender expression. She appears to be very hurt at one point but survives. Later she goes down fighting when the plane she's on crashes.

A Kryptonian spews hate speech for humans. I didn't find it triggering, but it could be interpreted that way.

(1) The helicopter on the oil rig doesn't crash. (2) Lois is saved from an escape pod that starts to burn up in the atmosphere. (3) The first big fight with Zod has several plans and helicopters crash. Some people are saved, some people crash and survive, some go up in flames. (4) The final battle has a plane crash with a few major characters on board.
