Indeed. I can't honestly say I'm a fan of most of these movies they tried to kickstart a DC cinematic universe with over the last decade -- in fact, this one is the only one I like, and I still have problems with it -- but I'll give them this: they certainly know how to make these characters feel powerful on the big screen.
Agreed. A lot of people criticize Zack Snyder, mostly for his slow mo obsession. But I think he did a great job with this era of the DCEU. He captured the darker themed cinematography that the DC universe is supposed to have. Although BVS is so so, there's still great moments to it. The end battle between the "Holy Trinity" of the Justice League and Doomsday is epic IMO.
So two things. 1. The reason why the female kryptonian didn’t immediately kill the Colonel guy was because the Colonel guy didn’t surrender or back down even though he saw her massacre all his men easily and she respected that. That’s why she pulled out a knife instead of just immediately backhanding him. 2. The glasses thing actually makes sense because the actor for Superman once stood underneath a poster for I believe Batman vs Superman while also wearing a Superman t-shirt and nobody recognized him. Plus you wouldn’t really expect Superman to be working a normal job. You would just think he has a striking resemblance with Superman.
The Glasses thing actually works (also Clark normally changes his posture and personally in his disguise), Henry Cavil did it in front of the Cinema with glasses and a Superman shirt iirc
For the tornado scene, his dad didn’t want clark’s help because it would’ve given away his identity, and clark never forgave himself for saying the stuff he said to his dad
My least favorite scene in the entire movie. It's nonsensical and it completely changes Clark and Superman as a character compared to how his dad dies in most versions of the story
@j0hn00 why do you people always ignore the context of this movie and instead put it in context of other Superman movies? In the context of this movie, it makes total sense.
@@diegoclark7697 It doesn't make sense at all, it's very disrespectful to make his father like that. He would never say to Clark that he shouldn't save people just to keep his identity in secret.
To answer some questions: There is an animated movie which tells of if Superman was born in Russia (Based on a comic book.) It is called Red Sun Superman. There is also a live action horror movie about if someone like Superman was evil: It is called Brightburn
The father felt Clark would be at risk from what people and the government would do if they knew who and what Clark really was. He felt it so strongly that he was willing to give his life to protect Clark's secret.
Jonathan didn't know how strong Clark is and if he even would survive something like a tornado. Even if he could, let's say a car lands on Clark and he survives, the government would show up the next day. Every parent instinct is to protect their child and that's what Jonathan did.
Man of Steel is definitely one of my favorites in the dceu especially when you get to see his dad get down with zod and beats him down which is one of my favorite parts of this movie. Next to wonder woman and Aquaman. It sucks that they won't be continuing with them at least as far as I know of
8:30 There's legit a What If sort of animated film where he landed in Soviet Russia instead. It's called Red Son, and it's genuine gold shit. Worth checking out, if you feel like doing the animated stuff sometime, there's a good hour and a half on it.
The age of ice in the Arctic and Antarctic is done by how depth it is. We have a good idea how long it takes to add a new layer of ice in those areas. It's a lot like with rock. The deeper into the material the older it is. Also some plants, animals, and microscopic life can be in the ice and we can tell with those too.
7:43 It's likely that the rest of Krypton didn't know that the world was going to end, just as in natural disaster movies, governments never inform people of the situation until it's too late. For this reason, the Council of Krypton locked them in the Phantom Zone, because people have to see that the established rules are complied with.
The reason why Zod was able to Fly and adapt so fast without his Suit was because his soul purpose was war. So his genetics made him able to be able to use all his combat strengths on every planet they concurred to survive.
Don you should check out the Justice League Synder Cut, it's like 4 hours or something 🤷♀️ but its hella better than the original justice league movie.
About the glasses disguise, don't forget that Henry Caville stood in a Superman shirt in Times Square under the billboard for Batman v Superman which featured his face, and nobody recognized him
You mentioned the age old joke that people always bring up. How the hell do people NOT still recognize Clark as Superman, when all he does is out on glasses, wear normal clothes and do his hair a bit different lol. At least in this movie Lois knows his true identity. In the old Christopher Reeve movies even Lois was fooled by his very simple disguise
12:29 Well, one could say that a god did that to him (since DC does have gods), but not directly. The Kryptonian god is Rao. Fun Fact: He founded the House of El, so he is Clark’s ancestor. If we are talking about capital “G” God, we could say that He too is indirectly responsible since He also exists in DC and is the creator. He’s called The Presence though. 36:21 Because it’s basically torture for your senses. And who knows if ALL kryptonians can survive the process. Especially babies.
"Can you just imagine if he didn't land in America?" Funny you say that, there's actually a story in the comics where that happened. It's called "Superman Red Son". In it, he landed in Soviet Russia instead of a cornfield in Kansas and became a Soviet super weapon. There's an animated movie based on it as well.
Henry Cavill went to New York, rode the subway then stood under a billboard of Batman vs Superman wearing a Superman shirt and no one recognized him...
13:39 fun fact ..maybe alot of ppl dont know this bout this scene ..wen the truck driver throws the empty beer at him .. the sound it makes is the sound aluminum makes if it hit steel ... " man of steel " 💪
36:14 They weren't simply changing the atmosphere, but the gravity as well. You see, Krypton's gravity is 1000x greater than that of Earth's. Their whole point is to colonize to a new planet to build a NEW Kryptonian planet to preserve their race for the next generations. That's why they wanted the Codex, to begin rebuilding their race as Zod only wants the best and the strongest to conquer.
“there not gettin the sun on there skin” bro doesn’t understand how light works😭😭😭😭 if no light was getting to them, the inside of that helmet would be DARK😂😂😂
They sent Zod into Phantom Zone becasue the Kyrptonian Council didn't belive the planet was dying or how soon it would be destroyed. The whole first scene sets the tone that both Jor El and Zod knew the givernment was weak and not doing what they both thought was necessary
8:30. Superman. Red sun covers the what if he ended up in a different country. It took place in Russia. And they called it man of steel cause there been like 100 movies before hand called superman so they just wanted to change it up.
As someone in the army i will say with 100% confidence we will go where we are able to. The bucket in the corber was just a joke on the movie part but its honestly true 😂😂😂
Man of Steel and Black Adam are my favorites movies by far cause the ACTION FIGHTS in it are so Epic , i can not believe we never got a sequel of Man of Steel but we got sequeles of Shazam and Suicide Squad ...
Know one on krypton thought the planet was really going to blow up, they all thought "House El" was wrong! Superman's other names; Kal, son of L, The last son of Krypton, Man of Steal!
Faora and Colonel guy did a standoff against each other like they were arch-enemy instead of killing him is because Faora gave the dude a respect for willing to solo with her despite seeing her strength and speed
The way that they measure the age of the ice is through carbon dating. Carbon dating is done by measuring the half life of I believe carbon 13, so by measuring the amount of carbon in the ice they can determine the age of the ice, or anything else.
Fun fact. During the release of Batman v Superman Henry Cavil walked around Time Square wearing a superman shirt and glasses and nobody recognized him even when there was giant ass billboard with his face on it right there too. So yes the glasses work 😂
There's an even funnier reason in the comics. Superman, as Clark Kent, will slouch, wear just bare frames and baggy clothes and slightly mess his hair up to disguise himself. Nobody notices at all.
I mean in the Superman: Animated Series Clark straight up tells Lois that he's Superman while typing away at the Daily Planet and she doesn't even believe him. This film doesn't really show the Clark aspect of Superman at the daily planet so I don't blame people for thinking it's silly, Also there's very little change between Clark and Superman in this film when you compare it to the original films.
When Superman was a kid he had to learn to control his powers bro. That’s why in the class room you saw from his perspective his teachers skull, muscles etc, his powers were manifesting and he didn’t know what was happening.
Oh yeah this film released after Nolan's Batman Trilogy so it does have a very similar dark and gritty tone which also tried to ground Superman in our reality. Personally this something I never really cared for as DC to me is of course a reflection of our reality but it has it's own history, fictional cities, heroes and powerful people. So the idea of having a DC universe that's just our world with hero's was something I never cared about, something the Nolan Batman films did as well. Krypton is by far my favourite aspect of this film, Very H.R. Giger inspired designs a big difference to the more colourful high tech almost retro sci fi look of Krypton from the comics. But Metropolis I always felt lacked, Looks like a generic city made to be destroyed in this film, DCEU in general lacks alot when it comes to it's cities like for me Metropolis does not look like Metropolis at all. Hopefully James Gunn introduces a more 1950s retro futuristic Metropolis with heavy Art Deco to contrast the Gothic Revival Gotham City. As so far Metropolis beyond Superman Return's Daily Planet has never been done justice in live action. I immagine Tim Burtons Superman film would've featured an amazing Metropolis. But overall Man of Steel has grown on me, Not the best DC film but it's fun watch, not great for someone who has no insight into Superman, recommend Superman 78 for that but it's a fun alternate universe Superman take.
Super dope you have the upload. Its obviously like how dark knight is his catchphrase name. Like in other media or in the next film. "Men of steel and the darkest of knights"
0:27 DC has already produced many movies in the past involving film names of Superman, and because Superman also goes by the name "The Man of Steel," they decided to go by that name since they over used his name on a film title. Also because they made enough reboot films of him in the past so yeah
The Priest part was perfect, the perfect advice Superman needed. God is the creator and owner of the everything that exist cause everything was created by him.
37:40 and u gotta remember...wen all this happenes , hes only really been " superman " for 1 day......this all happened the day after he learned to fly ..
"Can you imagine what would happen of he didn't land in America?" Comic - "Red Son" In that story, Kal lands in Ukraine, part of the Soviet Union. Great comic, worth reading.
Yes, your heart is actually in the center of your chest. However, the left side of the heart is the side that pushes the blood out and into the rest of your body, so it has a stronger beat than the right side. Because people could feel the left side of the heart beating, they thought that the heart was on the left, not in the middle of the chest. Unless people see something like the organs in the body shown, like in this movie, or study human anatomy, most people have no reason to learn where the heart is really located. Also, Mr. Kent does from a heart attack in most, if not all, other versions of the story.
The thing that should be pointed out is that Kryptonians only have to be in the close vicinity/proximity of a yellow sun (for example, being on Earth) for their genetics to become enhanced. Superman and any Kryptonian do not have to be in direct sunlight, just have to be close to the yellow sun. I remember that from reading the comics when I was a kid. I don't know why people are shocked that the Kryptonians are strong as Supermen (because they are the same species). This movie, and the recent animated movies, make the common mistake when Superman is not on Earth and in a different universe because the farther away he is from a yellow sun, the less powerful he is. Krypton has a red sun, which does not enhance their genetics. They are "normal" in the presence of a red sun.
To sum it up, the reason superman can fly is because earth’s gravitational force is light for kryptonians, which is why that giant machine over metropolis was lifting everything up then slamming it down so earth could have the same gravity as krypton
Just remember it’s Batman v Superman: Ultimate Edition (3hr) next, followed by Suicide Squad: Extended Cut (2016), Wonder Woman (2017), Zack Snyder’s Justice League (4hr), Aquaman (2018) and Shazam (2019).😊
Hundreds of cycles in an empty void in which you have lost all your basic rights and requirements. A fate worse than death. Immortal suffering. That’s why.
Something important to notice is that the black suits zod and them used absorb sun radiation much quicker and not to mention they have been warriors their entire lives with experience while this was supermans first actual fight
thats not what those are for lol that was what you wear under your suits probably haptic in order to interface with the armor the way zod reacted was a big red flag against your argument for that or he and the others would have just waited to become gods had they known they would be influenced by the sun and why keep kryptonian norms on environmental if you knew they limited your abilities
@@ilikeknives1000 In fairness, he may have a point because of the way physics works. If you wear a black shirt on a bright sunny day, you'll get warmer much quicker because black absorbs light a lot better than other colors and gets warm. It might not be the purpose of the suits, but an unintended consequence of being a Kryptonian wearing black on a world with a yellow sun. But that's just my theory
His father dying to a tornado with him right there has to be one of the worst decisions every made in a superhero movie, but aside from that, the movie was damn fantastic.
7:13 The council didn't believe the planet was going to explode so soon. That's what Jor-El tried to warn them about but they didn't take him seriously
I love how people are loving this now. In 2013, those who hated this movie are the ones who weren't able to move on from Reeves as Superman. I knew there was going to be a time where this, BvS, and ZSJL are all going to be appreciated. That time is now. Too bad it's being rebooted. Lol!
There is actually a movie called Brightburn from 2019. It's sort of an "what if superman (and the kryptonians or from whatever planet that universe is from) turned out to be evil. It's actually not that bad
since clark has dna of everyone in krypton, he basically has the power and will to choose what he wants to become rather than a pre determined purpose. that way, he not only represents krypton as a whole but earth as well because we have that element of choice despite we believing that we dont. if clark can convince people of that choice, he can bring them to rise with him towards the sun. that is snyder's superman's legacy.
8:01 yea lol there are 2 movies about If he didnt land in Anerica, lol well one , but 2 if he went bad ..one is Red Son ....Animated DCU ... and BRIGHTBURN , but thsts about a kid not named superman but has the same story , same powers .. but he realizes hes superior and turns evil... hell of a movie
I think we'd be more open to the possibility of aliens existing because of the movies and films depicting "their" existence but if aliens were to appear in the ancient times, well....
Dunno if anyone said this on YT or Patreon but there is actually a story where Superman doesn't land in the US. It's called "Superman Red Sun" and basically it's about if Superman crashed in the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It got an animated movie but I can't confirm how accurate it is to the comic
It seems like every time you hear somebody say a movie is good, what they really mean is it's sad. Because different people have different senses of humor, but sadness is universal.
