People seem to not understand that MoS Zod had all of Superman’s powers, along with a long as fuck military career, where MoS Superman is still new to all this shit.

By that logic, Zod should have wrecked Superman’s shit.

You have to dance pretty hard to pretend that him killing Zod was meaningful after the CGI destruction porn they’d done to Metropolis. If Superman really did care, lives would have mattered to him before then. They left character development out of the battle scene, and so the abrupt emotionality when he kills Zod is out of left field and punchless. Hopefully they can find a heart in future JLA movies, because they’ve been just horrible so far.

There was nothing Supes could’ve done about that though. He had to stop Zod, and if that meant some people had to die while they smashed each other’s chests in then that’s what had to happen. He was fighting someone just as strong as him, I don’t think he had much say in where they fought.

The scene where he kills Zod was emotional because he had just killed he last of his kind with his own bare hands, not because he was distraught over taking another life. I thought that was obvious.

I disagree here. This is a core tenant of being a super hero. Getting out of a heavily populated place and making damage minimal. Unless Superman doesn’t care and/or is just a soldier/villain/merc. Cuz soldiers are okay with collateral damage.

I never denied this. But again, Superman barely even defeated Zod. I doubt he could’ve mandhandled him into a desolate space against his will. All his energy was already going towards beating him.

okay so I get what ure saying but then we get superman killing in BVS. So he just doesn’t give a fuck.

MARTIAN · April 12, 2016, 5:41am

Well I never said he doesn’t kill people. I just made an argument as to why the scene where he kills Zod is indeed one of tragedy, and wasn’t out of character at all. It’s not like he intentionally destroyed half the city while they fought. In fact you could even go as far to say that Zod was trying to hurt as many people as possible just to get to Superman, considering the scene right before Zod’s death where he attempts to laser beam a family in half while Supes has him in a chokehold.

and when you start your character at the ‘end’, this is what u get

A green and young Superman is always pretty reckless. It is not surprising that MoS Superman is like the way he is in MoS.

MoS Superman did not have Comic book Ma and Pa Kent growing up. He had ones that pretty much told him he’s a monster.

3)Superman’s development happened in between MoS and BvS. He was affected by the shit that happened in MoS. Easily shown when the building exploded with him in it, and was devastated by it.

MoS Superman isn’t perfect. He’s not even close, but it is also pretty difficult to do Superman right in the idea of world Snyder wants to. You won’t see Snyder adding a scene of Superman just visiting kids because they sent him a letter, or see him putting drawings that kids drew for him on his fridge in the fortress of solitude, or even rescuing a cat from a tree. It just won’t happen. Snyder want’s a grim dark version of everything. In terms of that its not a far off depiction of it, but is it the true Superman? No. It’s Snyders idea of “What if Superman was real,” and its not actually that far off to how it would go in real life.

Trying to bring in how comic versions of characters would do it compared to Snyder versions is just asking to be hurt. Snyder has a different view and goes for realism, while comics go for how the character is, and it works because they aren’t trying to be realistic. Its why Superman can spend an entire day with a suicide jumper and nothing happens else where in the city.

Best way to deal with Snyders films is go in expecting a different view on the characters. Don’t expect them to be their comic counter parts. Expect them to have a chip on their shoulder, and kinda irritable. It’s how Snyder thinks they would be in a real world setting, and he’s probably not wrong. You can only take doing the Superhero gig for so long before you just get tired of people being ungrateful, wanting you dead/gone, and just dealing with super villains and people who keep doing crime constantly.

Or I could steer clear of nuclear waste

I miss Faora, she was so beautiful and badass…best thing in MoS :sad:

8/10 would bang with extreme prejudice.

odin · April 12, 2016, 7:49pm

Do not want. Looks like most of my family members.

Don_Barracuda · April 12, 2016, 7:51pm

Don’t believe you, post pics

booking trip to odin’s family reunions

Gimpy · April 12, 2016, 8:04pm

Like this bamma don’t know the drill and shit!

Also, I would like to see Antje as a member of the Female Furies if they decide to add them to the DCCU.

odin · April 12, 2016, 8:08pm

Well my family is all polish, so they all have that eastern European look.
Not saying they all look like that, but it’s not a look I am attracted to.

I guess this girl looks alright. But my black/Asian/latino/arab fever is stronger.

OilyKoryuken · April 12, 2016, 9:22pm

She looks like your family members? And that’s a BAD thing?

Kids these days…

dab00g · April 12, 2016, 10:11pm

He said he wasn’t looking for it

Though he should have been able to smell the bomb, and maybe the piss threw him off the scent

OilyKoryuken · April 13, 2016, 5:47am

So not only is Justice League vs Teen Titans better than Bvs, FlashxSupergirl crossover is better too.

Zack Snyder, ladies and gents.

Superman’s baffling character traits can easily be explained by Zack Snyder being an Ayn Rand loving objectivist, which is funny because typically Superman is like the opposite of objectivism, he’s the poster boy for altruism. Snyderverse though Supes is only looking out for his own interests. He hovers around Lois like a watchdog because he gets to have sex with her, he begrudgingly saves people because he was burdened with power but he’s merely doing a job so some will think highly of him, he doesn’t give a fuck about Batman until his mother is in danger and then they’re best friends because Batman will save his mother, Superman is a fucking selfish asshole in these movies. Like it has nothing to do with “Superman in the real world”, this character is blatantly not Superman and the movie is intentionally challenging your idea of the character while laughing about it. It comes off like the movies are mocking you for expecting Superman to be a hero.

I said this before and I’ll say it again, superman is written like a 90’s image "extreme"comic that was trying do desperately to cash in on the violent and brooding trend going on in the time. Although to be honest I don’t superman being the way you described but that’s best served for a evil variant from earth 2 or earth 3. In some ways I feel like the evil superman from superman 3 is essentially what we get in this DCMU.

JohnGrimm · April 13, 2016, 9:44am

At this point the only way to redeem this Superman is if they just hardline right into Injustice.

People boo’d that flash was not cw flash

Way to misjudge your audience dc
