i did think it was kinda interesting that in one breath the movie was likening him to jesus and then in the next breath he's seen savagely breaking someone's neck.

was that there way of saying superman ISN'T jesus? that he's still only human?

or is it not even that deep and they just wanted to give the climax a very loud and definite conclusion.

either way, it wasn't very well executed and i hope that it is not a major plot device moving forward into BVS. but sadly i'm thinking it may.

Jesus killed some people in some of the lost books just to show that he could revive them :heh:

Not a coincidence a lot of the things that "humanized" him were left out of the final edits.

He learned the consequences of killing in that moment. He will show regret and never kill again.

Let's talk about marvel TV shows if you wanna say who can't get right.


What was wrong with Agent Carter and season two of Agents of Shield?

Both have been good so far.

I liked MoS. Superman feels like the only character in history where he has to be done perfectly or the critics and fans will come out with claws. Can't be too powerful, too nice, too heroic, etc...

I would assume Superman killing Zod is the source of conflict in the film. The possibility of this big ass alien running roughshod over the planet is an issue. You don't have to resolve every issue in one film.

perfectly said. i can only hope such is portrayed in the movie.

I don't know why I have this sick feeling that they're gonna get it completely wrong.


they already got batman wrong,...
so. Get ready for them to Joel Schumacher batman and superman in one fell swoop.

Man of Steel sucked, mainly because the story was bad. One of my main issues was they never explained why he would have been reluctant to kill, or why him killing was a huge fukking deal


man of steel, outside the old fleishcher cartoons.
is, the only time they ever got superman exactly right.
people complaining about mos,.must have not really been familiar with the low quality of superman.

He's not a terrible character breh when handled correctly. I don't see how anyone can read recent superman or watch JL or JLU and say he's a terrible character. He's a guy who's always holding back who wears the burden of leadership and power, and has an interesting inner conflict going on with holding himself to this higher ground while at times not wanting to be that

Tell it to these dudes tho and all character development for a series of films needs to be done in one shot

He's a boy scout with near infinite power. Nothing short of Red Son (Superman in USSR) has shown me anything worthwhile done with this character. He's flawed from the beginning, i.e. he HAS the ability to stop anything but he chooses to throttle because morality.

I feel like Lex Luthor talking about this dude. Damn I can't wait to see this movie. :mjcry:

right, because somebody had the wits to realize that it wouldn't benefit the character...

superman's problems are bigger than everyone else's problems, hence why he needs to be more powerful.

what other superhero are you gonna call upon to protect us from an impending comet? or an alien invasion?

this is the guy you want torn and conflicted?

we would all be fukked then.

no one is more heroic and courageous than :cape:
