Full Fat Videos, while your videos are excellent, I strongly disagree with your assessment that it's okay for Superman to kill. Superman killing is NOT okay. Superman uses his powers mainly to help people, and only uses his powers to hurt others when there's no alternative. Even when Superman does fight, he holds back so as to not kill anyone. That's the type of hero Superman is.

Enjoyed the video, but I’ve always really loved Man Of Steel. The music is awesome, and I have been known to run the movie just to listen to the score. But, as a more adult take on the Superman genre, it was for me, the best Superman movie ever. That’s just a question of taste, I guess? It payed homage to the first two Christopher Reeve ones, and was original enough to have something clever to say. That, “This man is not our enemy,” scene was the only clanger in it, for me. So hammy, I cringed. But, if you prefer a more camp, bloated Superman, with winks to camera, the older versions will suit you better. This had a real villain, real sense of jeopardy, real stakes and a fun, satisfying conclusion. What’s not to love? It’s in my top 10 Superhero Movies.

This was a great video! I do think, though, that the scene where Superman kills Zod is the most emotionally affecting scene of all superhero films (Save for maybe when Tony gets stabbed or Thanos snaps) Superman begged Zod to stop, he did everything he could to stop him, but Zod finally revealed his intentions when he said "Never!" Michael Shannon's acting was spectacular. The pain in Zod's voice when he says those words is a near physical wound. He had *nothing* to lose, and so Superman could not reason with him. It forced Kal to make the choice. To *defend* the Earth. I'd like to remind everyone that Superman kills the faceless hordes of monsters that the big bosses send toward the Justice League, and he even killed Zod in Superman 2.

Superman kills Zod in Superman 2: Smiles and walks away Superman kills Zod in MOS: Silence, then the shock that he possibly killed one of the last people of his species.

Snapping Zod's neck isn't just about saving that one family in that specific moment, but it's about stopping Zod before he literally becomes unstoppable. Watch the final confrontation again and pay attention to how the tables start to turn during the fight. Zod was specifically engineered to be a disciplied, ruthless and efficient fighter and killer. It takes him mere hours to adapt to earths atmosphere and to control his eyes, whereas Clark had a breakdown as a child. Zod masters the ability to fly almost immediately after his battle armor is destroyed, Clarke required many years. The only reason Superman has got an edge in the beginning is because he has had years to absorb sunlight and because Zod isn't fully aware of his own powers yet. However, given enough time, this version of Zod would quickly become powerful enough to easily overpower Superman and wipe out humanity. The moment when Superman kills Zod, may very well have been his last opportunity to do so.

Nobody else can stop Zod, nobody/nothing can hold him on earth apart from superman and even then it took him basically destroying a city killing a bunch of innocent people to barely win the fight, what happens when superman somehow restrains him in that scene then Zod gets free later but doesn’t lose the fight the next time?

Zod’s combat training plus gaining full super strength from the sun radiation would’ve been almost impossible to take down

Definitely. The film flows much better, and the plot amd character motivations actually makes sense. Really important plot scenes (that the studio removed) were put back in, and Superman in particular gets all of his character development back. The movie also actually agrees that what Batman does is wrong, and his story is about a broken man who lost his way and is eventually shaken back to his senses akd redeemed by the example of Superman. Superman, the guy whose goal is to inspire others to be the best version of themselves, does exactly that for Batman. His example redeems his mission amd drives him to be the Batman he was always meamt to be. If one's conclusion is that this is what Batman should be, then the analysis is already off on the wrong foot. Twin Perfect, among other channels, do a great job of breakijg down these characters amd the plot in that movie. The Ultimate Edition still isn't perfect in my opinion, but it's much more than it appears on firat glance, and it deconstructs them not with the intention to just tear them down, but to build them back up into the kind of iconic heroes they were always meant to be.

"Criminals are like weeds alfred". He's lost his way because nothing seems to be working. So he breaks his no kill rule because he doesn't see another way out. His arc is about redemption. And the reason why that redemption is so important is because the world is so different from when he was in his prime. Godlike beings like superman and wonder woman openly walk the earth. At the beginning of the movie he basically tells alfred that his entire career as batman was pointless. Because he's so broken that he thinks all his work as batman didn't really do the world any good. So he thinks his legacy is to save the world by killing superman but now he knows that's not true. His legacy is save the world by uniting the justice league, in his final years as batman, to save the world from the inevitable threat: Darkseid. Idk.

Become more than just a man so that justice can be preserved long after he leaves the mantle of Batman. Afflecks Batman has different motivations. For him the symbol of Batman has failed. Criminals still keep coming back after 20 yrs of crime fighting. His motivation is about legacy.

I thought it was a reference to Snyder failing both Superman and Batman but knowing this channel that actually makes a lot more sense

On the subject of the "No Kill Rule" I'm reminded of the Under the Red Hood movie as to why Batman doesn't kill. "It would be too damn easy. But if I cross that line; there's no going back" That is what I think whenever I hear people say "Batman should just kill Joker" because it's the core of Batman's character. Meanwhile, you have Superman. "I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard. Always taking care not to break something. To break someone." He pulls his punches to not kill people and cause damage because he chooses to. Of course, there is the second part of this quote. "But you can take it, can't you, Big Man? Here we have a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am!" Superman chooses to because he knows he could bring the world down if he doesn't. Batman has to because of he does, he'll never stop.

I think the "no going back" quality is built into the Batman character of BvS. Vengeance has corrupted into cruelty after decades of disillusionment with the arrival of super powered aliens being a straw the broke the camel's back. How can Batman hope to make dent in that kind of threat with the handicap of his moral code? That's what he thinks until he's on the brink of calculated cold-blooded murder. But Superman is able to bring him back from the brink and reinspire a jaded Batman. I feel like the execution of the story can be debated, but as a concept, it's pretty compelling.

Hey Holdo, show me your military genius! First military genius strategy, immediately alienate your best fighter and the heir to Leia, the super popular and charismatic Poe. Second, when all your fighters get destroyed and a now grounded and slightly useless Poe asks whether he and two janitors can take any single ship and go somewhere else and get a guy who could help remove this ‘tracking through hyperspace’ bullshit....immediately reject that plan for your excellent alternate plan, thus ignoring the option of ridding yourself of Poe and saving everyone’s lives. Third, the genius plan. Leave the medium of space, i.e. the best place to send a radio signal. Attempt, under the nose of the 50 odd capital battleships following, to abandon the only fleet you have to go to a planet because you’ll get a better signal. This is brilliant. What a plan. Do this instead of sending a message at any of the times when the First Order fleet show up because it is so much better to try and sneak off somehow and land on the planet of salt and hide in an old garage by closing the door. The only issue is that the bad guys might have some old Death Star tech, repurposed as a ‘space laser battering ram’ and be able to knock down the otherwise impenetrable garage door. Oh shit, the janitor storm trooper just said they have exactly that. Oh well. That was the plan. Hide in a garage and only then send a signal for help? Oh well, at least her last act wasn’t to completely nullify the threat of a Death Star by re-writing the history of the Star Wars universe with a bullshit “Holdo Maneuver”. Many Bothans apparently died for fuck all. Simply fly an empty craft at light speed at a target and wipe it out. Makes the military genius of space bombers dropping bombs on the dreadnought look a bit silly now. Fuck the Last Jedi, fuck the stupid plot and fuck Rhian ‘subverting expectations’ Johnson.

I always loved this film. It spoke to me as a teenager, and even now I feel its power as a call to nobility and maturity, much in the same vein as Spider Man (2002).

I love how you basically answered your own prejudice about BvS. The whole point of BvS version of Batman is that he was tipped over that line. Not enough to be a full on villain, but enough that his already broken spirit goes down even more. He is just at a place where he just care. His ends justify his means. Batman has always been locally focused. His parents, his city, his friends, etc. Superman has always been global, all humanity, entire world, anywhere something needs to be done. That's why BvS is so good. It pits the two ideas against each other, throws in the real world consequences and Lex Luther's jokeresque mentality. Joker creates chaos for the sake of losing control,, which is juxtapose to Lex creating chaos for the sake of gaining control. Ok, really long, and lost track of point, other than go back and watch BvS.

Superman snapped the neck of Zod not to save the family specifically but because Zod would never stop killing until his death as he was born a solider and would die as one. Also remember this was well before anyone knew that kryptonite is his weakness in the universe.

36:22 I also think that line is a good explanation for why Superman kills Zod. There isn’t a way to contain Zod, and he’s chosen violence, Superman has to stop this, and even if he has another way to save the family, there isn’t another way to save Zod.

The Pa Kent tornado scene is him putting his money where his mouth is with how he feels about what would happen if Clark revealed his powers.

People wouldn’t understand or they would certainly be fearful of something or someone so different. If Clark dashes out there in front a crowd of people like that...

@@rogersmith1746 The problem is that Jonathan's lesson isn't supposed to be right. If it was, then Clark Kent would've stayed humble reporter without ever putting on his costume. In stories where Pa Kent dies, it's usually via some kind of illness or medical condition, a heart attack is usually the most common. It teaches Clark that even with all of his powers, he can't save everyone, and Superman has to deal with loss and grief like everyone else. It humanizes him. In Man of Steel, it does the complete opposite. We see Clark stand by and let his father die despite the fact that he could save him. Nobody can relate with that kind of decision. Which is my problem with the recent DC live-action movie adaptations. Superman is portrayed as a god with a strong attachment to two humans. I've never really seen him be kind. I don't see him as human or relatable. Which is a terrible thing when it comes to Superman, because the one thing that seperates Superman from his enemies is his humanity.

The point is its illustrated terribly. First of all batman's spirit has been broken by the death of his Robin, and he starts killing almost all of the thugs he fights. But the joker isn't dead? Have you seen under the red hood? The weight of Robins death is enough to make batman want to kill the joker. But if he crosses that line there's no going back. But we don't see any of that in BVS. We see batman is a killer that he's given into that darkness but he hasn't killed anyone he should've and stops killing due to some half assed reason. The movie does the arc no justice.

It’s funny how he just left his mother behind with the kryptonian hit squad.

I've never been able to accept the 'Batman can't kill' criticism of BVS, as the story being told is about why he shouldn't. At no point does the film frame Batman's antics as an acceptable thing in this universe. In fact, Alfred criticises Bruce at every turn, and it's the precise reason why Clark has a problem with Batman in the first place. It's not because he's a 'vigilante'. It's because he's gone too far. I understand that this might work better as an elseworld story instead of the main DCEU canonical Batman, but I still think it's an interesting take. Also willing to admit that Snyder perhaps takes it too far. They've could've just left it at the branding, and the same character arc would still apply. Nevertheless, I think BVS is one you should revisit if you liked Man of Steel more on rewatch. In my opinion, both films improve with every viewing and when you start accepting them for what they are instead of what you wanted them to be. Just thought I'd give my take. Great video!

This movie has the best superhero action sequences ever, you can feel the hits.

I always loved Man of Steel, no revisiting it required. It’s the only DCEU film I like. I loved everything about what happened on Krypton. And I loved the poignant story of someone trying to stay out of trouble, living a solitary life out of necessity, but not being able to stop himself from assisting those in trouble.

Your criticism of Batfleck is the whole point of his character in BvS. He's at the end of his rope, decade or so of crime fighting and nothing had changed besides the friends and family he lost along the way. He's done playing nice and the Metropolis event pushed him over the edge. Him being judge, jury, and executioner is a major part of the plot and is discussed throughout the movie. You aren't supposed to enjoy that he slings a car full of people on to another car full of people that were shooting at him. He's fallen into the darkness and Superman's sacrifice for humanity starts him on a path of trying to be better. You've come around on MoS, give it a couple more years and you'll come around on BvS too.

My only beef with MoS(my favorite comic book movie) is the death of Jonathan Kent. I feel like they missed the point. Clark could have easily gotten the dog and not given himself away as the only reason Jonathan didn’t make it was because he twisted his ankle. The point of the heart attack was to teach Clark that he can’t save everybody, that there are some things that are beyond even him. Other than that, I still think MoS is a masterpiece...

The thing about Batman killing is that, that was supposed to be part of his character arc through Snyder's 5 film DCEU plan. At the beginning of BvS, Batman is an old tired and hopeless shell of his former self. He has now succumbed to his dark side. During his life time, he has seen countless of people he cared about turn evil and countless of loved ones die like his parents or like Robin. He has become so traumatized by the events that have happened in his life that he has lost the hope that he once had that there is still good in people and in humanity in general. So now, he has become an alcoholic and a drug addict who hooks up with women when he is not being Batman. And when he is Batman, he doesn't directly murder people in cold blood but now he has become so careless that he doesn't care anymore if people get killed due to his actions. After directly witnessing the destruction and the death caused by Superman, he is convinced that he needs to stop that extraterrestrial being no matter the cost. Bruce is not aware that Superman grew up on Earth with human parents who loved him, cared for him and raised him. For all he knows is that a god powered alien is bringing destruction to Earth even though his intentions might be good. After his Nightmare of the apocalyptic timeline where Darkseid is now ruling the Earth and Superman has succumbed to the anti-life equation, he is now absolutely convinced that he needs to kill that extraterrestrial being before the time comes when he turns on humanity thus destroying everything he loves and cares about. During the infamous Martha scene, Bruce now realizes that Superman, in his last moments, pleads for Batman to save his mother instead of his own life. This makes him realize that Clark actually has loved ones who care about him and that he is much more than just a god powered extraterrestrial being. He realizes that he is perhaps more human than himself. In shock, Bruce realizes how far he has gone where he was now about to directly murder someone in cold blood by impaling him with a spear. And then, after seeing Superman sacrifice himself to save the planet where people were despising him and making him seem like an evil demonic being, he now sees his former self in Superman's actions by remembering how honorable his former self used to be. This convinces him that he needs to turn back to his old ways where he would rather capture someone and let justice do it's thing than to torture and murder people. That's why he says at the end of BvS when talking about Clark : ''I failed him in life. I won't fail him in death.'' Now, from here on, Bruce's character was progressively suppose to change in each upcoming movie until he would eventually turn back into being the Batman that we all know and love. And he was finally suppose to sacrifice himself at the end of Justice League 3 to save the faith of humanity thus completing his character arc that started with BvS. I feel that it's a little unfair how people kept shitting on Batman breaking his no-killing rule in BvS while all of the previous Batman movies show him murdering people and yet nobody complains about that. Yes BvS is flawed but it is nowhere near as terrible as people like to say it is and it is simply false that Zack Snyder doesn't understand Batman. His interpretation of Batman might not be your cup of tea, but that is not a valid reason for people to shit all over him and to ridicule his fandom for enjoying his work. People love saying that his fans are toxic but to be honest, the people mocking Zack Snyder and his fans aren't any better at all.

This is honestly one of my all time favorite films... even if 5 minutes in I was questioning if I was actually in the right movie (I think they only said Krypton like once, and I didn't know what to think once the dragon showed up... and almost went out of the theater to check the sign). I genuinely believe they took the song "Superman" and said... "let's make that a film" It's beautiful, and genuine, and as someone with plenty of anxiety, and, at the time, trying to live up to expectations that could never be met, this film was amazing, and exactly what I needed.

Oddly enough, about the time you dropped this video, I rewatched MoS. I had no idea about your channel. Overall, I approach most movies with a kevin smith level of emotion. I sobbed a lot during MoS, especially with the growing up sequences. At least for me, MoS inspires the feeling of what a superman movie should be like. Story revolving around what is called 'the superhuman condition'

Of course there was no way out for Superman than killing Zod. It's not just about saving that family. Zod would have not stop his killing spree and destruction otherwise. Superman had no way to contain him. No prison to keep him locked up. He didn't know anything about kryptonite. He didn't know anything about the phantom zone. How do you stop someone like Zod? Someone who has lost everything and is decided to destroy the world for revenge? Superman kills Zod in Superman 2, but in that movie, Zod was defenseless. And Superman kills him with a big smile on his face. So, why is it so hard to accept this?

Man of Steel was a movie ahead of its time. Had it been released around the same time MCU was on its darker phase, this would be deemed a masterpiece.

If it was released today compared to the garbage we've gotten it'd be a banger

I feel like this video isn’t gonna have any real new perspective on the movie and is just going to feel like this guy is finally catching up after all these years.

"In time, they will join you in the sun." It's great that you gave MoS another shot and to hear that you actually liked it this time; it'a a running theme with Zack's movies ain't it? But every time that you said something about BvS I was wondering if you only watched the theatrical version and not the UE. If so, watch the Ultimate Edition, because literally every response for every criticism that I've heard is hidden within the narrative of the story, you just have to pay attention.

My favorite scene is Superman tackling zod when his mother is threatened

Man of Steel is and will always be a masterpiece

I'm throwing it out there, this would have been more fondly remembered as a decent 7/10 film if it wasn't having to follow on from the quality of The Dark Knight Trilogy, and releasing at the same time that the MCU was shifting into high gear.

the MCU is great at what it does but yeah, the precedent it set with the first Avengers movie for expected tone really hurt the public reception of the movie.

Tbh all of Snyder movies (albeit a some cultish) have gained a niche following, I consider them big budgeted art movies they aren't for everyone but for some they're amazing I just happen to be one of those people.

“For a feminist film with upskirt shots” wait, are we talking about Sucker Punch or Joss Whedon’s Justice League?

Justice League does have upskirt shots, but is not a feminist film at all

@@Emanthebald hey we don't get to dictate what women wear! If the Amazons decided it was time to start peeling off layers of battle armor that's their decision. And what other camera angle are supposed to shoot when Diana is walking down the street in leather pants? Maybe that day there was an accident that ruined the camera rig and they couldn't lift it any higher.

The Pa Kent in the tornado, the whole town was there watching it take place .... if he’s then rescued and zoomed back to the farm quickly ... and Clark zooms back to the scene ... you get the town asking questions... in the comics, It’s those questions that have always lead to curious people and inevitably trouble ... So it might have been a creative call to not complicate the story further, before he goes on his “journey of self discovery” ....

Zimmers Man of Steel score is the most beautiful music I've ever heard. It always sheds a tear. Hanging onto hope, love, courage; just a few emotions that come to mind.
