Minemrys:First of, starting a movie where the hero is snapping people's neck is a red light. Secondly, Zod should not have been MoS first villain, luthor would had been preferably or even parasite could had been better. Thirdly, how can a farm boy overwhelm a military general all on his own, just after discovering his powers. Fourthly, Clark doesn't kill people anyhow, if not luthor could had been dead since. Fifthly, Comics Zod can be reasoned with though difficult. Finally, that script should have been rewritten to prevent so much controversies. |

Answer ~ YES Can Zod be reasoned with? Answer ~ YES Do Zod stay dead forever? Answer ~ YES Is Zod purpose to kill? Answer ~ NO Tell me why THOR didn't kill LOKI that had the same intentions as ZOD but went for the head against THANOS? ![]() |

Blackspider:how many neck's did he go abt snapping? Oh, they should've made Luthor the villain eh, wait, was that n0t superman returns all over again? Parasite as villain for an origin story? Dude, Clark was just learning who he was. Atimes, u ch0ose characterz based on the themes u want to explore. Parasite could've w0rked but n0t in an origin story. The villain would've w0rked well with superman returns n0t M0S. Bros, the theme of MOS was all abt identity. S0mething that reflected in Zod, clark, lois and with the Kents. Parasite is m0stly used when trying to explore themes like "weakness in the all powerful", and such themes are used when superman is an established character. That's when u use luthor or parasite. U need to show why lex would hate superman and u can't do that without developing him. And MOS wasn't abt kent being superman. It was abt kent asking if he was just kal el or both a s0n of the kents. Am a n0velist bro, u d0n't go into a ficti0n with a developed character or spelling everything out for readerz, and m0st of all, u d0n't write the easy way out [i.e endgame, time travel plot device etc]. This aspect superman the m0vie ign0red. People were asking, what made superman, superman. Why the no kill rule? Etc. We all knew why bruce has an aversi0n to killing and guns. He saw it, he witnessed it. But u can't put Kent in same situati0n as Bruce. So, u put him in a p0siti0n where he is forced to act on instinct. N0w, this is where BvS c0mes in. In the ultimate cut, J0nathan's ghost told Clark s0mething abt acting on instinct; telling him a story of how he and clark's grandfather tried acting on instinct to save their farm fr0m flo0ding only to have the animals die in the aftermath. That was a less0n Clark needed to learn. Clark wasn't birthed as superman. He became superman by learning. |

Blackspider:Chai, even the first superman movie featuring Christopher Reeves had Zod as a villain. Christopher Reeves' Superman even killed Zod intently in this iteration (see the scene below). Why do you guys really think you know better than the combination of Christopher Nolan, David Goyer and Zack Snyder who pitched this Henry Cavill's Superman story to WB? All these internet armchair movie critics don tire me sef... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Rq1TlbFWY |

Blackspider:yea, i bet after superman snapped necks in MOS, he went abt smiling and grinning. Oh, zod was the friendly type u kn0w. The kind u'd have c0ffee with. Every m0vie adaptati0n of a b0ok has its own angle. The jas0n bourne films, harry potter, half of a yellow sun, legend of the seeker/sword of truth, the c0mics i.e x men, marvel etc. There are things that d0n't work on film but do on paper. There are things that are built on. I bet u are angry the mcu films didn't make t0ny stark an alcoholic, or that they never hinted or killed Ben Parker. Or that ven0m was n0w a hero instead of a villain. Or that alfred hooks up with Bruce wayne's mum. Or that supes grandfather had it with zod's m0ther or that zod was black and was kal el's uncle. These things are called a twist or a retelling. Same way, a m0dern retelling of r0meo and juliet would be fixed to match the present times or setting. If u ask me to put r0meo and juliet in the era of the cold war, d0n't be surprised i might make r0meo a russian spy and juliet the daughter of the american secretary of states who was s0mewhat blackmailing Paris' dad; the french president. It's a retelling. |

Blackspider:and than0s didn't show em0ti0ns? And than0s' purp0se was to kill? And than0s couldn't be reas0ned with? And than0s wasn't human0id? If zod's existential purp0se wasn't to kill in0rder to pr0tect krypt0n, why then did he kill those krypt0nian heads? Why kill a defenseless jor el who tried bargaining with him? Why plan gen0cide thr0ugh terraformati0n and using the codex to bring krypt0nians who he deems worthy to live while exterminating the others? Why go on a violent rampage? There were times clark wanted to reas0n with zod but he didn't listen. Even in Krypt0n the series, zod can't be reas0ned with. But as for than0s, u saw him reas0ning with dr. Strange. Than0s never went on a violent rampage just cos he wanted to exterminate a race or a group. Zod did this. He wanted to wipe every human alive to do this. Yea, u can reas0n with zod. |

Blackspider:first you said Superman has not killed anybody in Canon comics. You repeated these like two times. Now I mentioned Doomsday, then you changed mouth to he's not humanoid. You are the one confused, saying nonsense and shifting post as usual. Next time research well, before posting ![]() |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Nobody: 11:49am On Aug 14, 2019 |
Blackspider:Please define humanoid for me? |

TonySpike:I don't even care about this killing arguement cos I have no problems with it but how did this scene show superman killed zod he was pushed down that place and we all know how durable zod is |

Minemrys:I keep wondering why is so difficult for people to understand MoS! Kal El wasn't Superman yet. |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 12:44pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
pu7pl3:without powerz? |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 12:46pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
SMUAG:even evident with the title n0t having the word Superman in it. |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Nobody: 12:56pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
BankyGee:People love for joker is just crazy. Top class villian. |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Nobody: 12:59pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
Minemrys:Written another scene. Superman doesn't kill. It's no wonder the movie was a flop. |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by SMUAG(m): 12:59pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
Minemrys:Abi o! They just feel like arguing.... It's interesting how people still debate most of Zack's DCEU movies till date... You don't just have massive fanbase just like that, you definitely earned it by giving the people out there something unique and allow them to make their choice. I don't think there is any director of this generation that has more fanbase than Snyder. |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by SMUAG(m): 1:02pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
Minemrys:If I could remember, he was only called "Superman" once in throughout its entirety. |

| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Nobody: 1:17pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
Minemrys:Same thanos that killed Thor's people or is there another thanos?? Thanos killed Loki just reminding you. Thanos showed emotions but thanos is crazy sorry Mad. I see no difference with him and doomsday. Also Thor kills, doesn't hold back when fighting. This was established in all his movies, so him killing is kind of justified. But superman, oh no. I don't know what is a violent rampage again sef. You seem to think thanos actions were justified in IW. |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by TheKingIsHere: 1:24pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
TonySpike:Haba, una don start again abi? Well i total disagree with the bolded. From what i watched, Superman only squeezed Zods hands then threw him against an icy wall which he then fell into an abyss or maybe the phantom zone...No where did superman kill Zod in this scene. I had to provide the image for those that cant view the youtube video 1. Superman squeezes Zod's hand 2. Superman lifts Zod 3. Superman pushes Zod against the icy wall 4. Zods fall through the icy abyss screaming So how exactly did Zod die in this scene? I really need an explanation.

| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by TheKingIsHere: 1:26pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
pu7pl3:Superman didnt kill Zod in that scene, rather superman defeated Zod in that scene. The youtube video topic was made to look as if supes has killed before which is a lie. Fear synder fanboys o. They can do anything to justify their master. Lol |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by pu7pl3(m): 1:35pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
TheKingIsHere:I don't know the point they are trying to make here o |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by pu7pl3(m): 1:37pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
Minemrys:There was nothing that showed that zod was dead...I e watched so many movies and I know that someone screaming and falling without a dead body showing up doesn't guarantee that the person is dead...it was never implied either |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Nickshrapnel: 1:49pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
NeededGist:Thanos killed half of Thor’s people, doomsday would kill all. Do you see the difference now? |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Nobody: 1:54pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
Nickshrapnel:Good point good point ![]() |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 2:10pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
pu7pl3:was it ever implied he was alive? |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 2:17pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
NeededGist:and u think zod's acti0ns were justified? Iuwe tried justifying than0s, n0t me. So i had to prove to blackspider, how equal the two were. Both were ready to c0mmit gen0cide. I never saw how reas0nable zod was if he could kill jor el, the krypt0n council, milli0ns and then aim at that harmless nuclear family. I d0n't think it was shown that than0s physically murdered children or aimed to. But zod tried to. He alm0st killed baby kal el by ordering his ship shot down. |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 2:25pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
NeededGist:superman doesn't kill. Yes. But why doesn't he? S0mething might have made him n0t to. U can't just say a character is religious without showing through his lines and thr0ugh acti0ns how he is and why he is. |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Minemrys(op): 2:30pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
NeededGist:n0w, soldierz always often never pray for war or violence n0 matter how ready u may see them, why? Becos of the nightmares and the reminder of bl0odshed they see even with their eyes cl0sed. |

hulk616:Go and buy dictionary |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by pu7pl3(m): 3:05pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
Minemrys:Yea,no dead body...the villains dead body is always shown |
| Re: DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (FILM) by Blackspider: 3:15pm On Aug 14, 2019 |
Minemrys:Superman has never resorted in snapping someone's neck in the comics, even when there seems no way. That snapping of neck was copied from Wonder Woman. Had it been that Superman had done something like that in the comics, this wahala for dey less. Superman always find a way, even in Batman: hush, Superman would find a way to resist so as not to kill. No matter the identity you claim MoS was about, killing is not Clark's identity. EOD |
