Man of Steel SPOILER talk 

Nightsilver yup. In the original Zod is powerless thus NOT Superman's equal and Supes breaks his hand and throws him to his death. Then he has a good laugh with Lois.

Studio2770 Exactly. If Zod lost his powers, why would Superman kill him. He could of put him in prison. And to top it all off, he didn't even feel bad about it. Superman kills when it's necessary. When he kills when it's necessary in Man of Steel, everyone loses their shit! Atleast he felt bad about it.

Nightsilver some say the Donner's Cut or a deleted scene from the Donner's cut shows Zod and his peeps getting arrested but if it's not in the actual movie then it doesn't really count.

Studio2770 True

Nightsilver Well, yeah as he should! He didn't just kill someone. He killed one of the last of his original kind, one of the last of his almost extinct kind. I think it was kind of symbolic actually. He had to choose between a innocent human family or a fellow Kryptonian.

I know it's great

are you sure, it feels more of a review by comic fan, that just watched a live action comic book film.

MoS is masterpiece.

@@tsoupakis Jeremy doesn’t read many comics

@@tsoupakis you can be a fan of something while still giving an unbiased review/opinion on it

+nb45001 Mhm, I mean the other one (names slipped my mind) was entertaining but he was also cheesy as fuck. This Zod gave me chills.

+nb45001 " I exist only to serve Kripton, that is the sole reason for which I was born, and every action I take no matter how violent, or cruel, was for the greater good of my people...and now I have no people..." - Zod

+ShandalfGreyhame Terrence stamp did a good job but you're right, it was cheesy. Your move...creep. -Robocop

I loved that bit, it turned Zod from a calculating villain into just a rage machine and I loved both aspects of him, no longer seeking to win or even live, he just wants to make sure that Kal-El goes with him.

He works so well as the embodiment of the problem with the Kryptonian birth programming. He was forced from birth to protect Krypton at any and all costs. So he is a monster because he lacks true individuality. Superman is effectively fulfilling the same role as an incorruptible defender of his home planet. But Superman works because he is a moral being with free will. Zod might as well be Ultron

Pete pretty much killed Gwen

FinalForkXII no she killed herself , she was ignorant to Peter's concerns of how she isn't a hero but yet she still goes off as if she is

N Dangster Your 100% right. That's why it is considered the end of the *Silver Age of Comics*, because it utterly *destroyed* Peter. Its like an "I am your father moment". He broke her neck by accident, and the film was just bullshit immitation

+N Dangster That movie is terrible you absolute buffoon. Everyone is making fun of that movie. "No one gave shit about that" lol

ikr

IKR 👌😄HE'S PRETTY GOOD AT THIS

Holy shit indeed!

Haha there's a billboard in I Am Legend that has the Batman V Superman advertisement on it. That's when I started getting suspicious.

+Sorino well i mean there are batman/superman comics with that logo i doubt it was meant to be bvs but to be that so its not that shocking

That would've been so badass :')

+The RED Samurai true that. but the story was horrid

+enjoy5566 How was the story horrid?

+Chad Benjamin yeah the weakest elements came from the script, but thankfully David s Goyer has been fired

superman was fighting like that in comics way before DBZ!!!

or you know just from the actual comics which came out way before the existence of dbz

He really didn't want to do it hopefully he can give batman that same motavation again

The way he yells directly after he kills Zod is so heavy. You can really hear the agony in his voice.

@@Woodsman9273 and ppl always tend to ignore this!!

It was kind of my favorite part of the movie

+Joseph Griffin i understand but superman did it BEFORE goku ;) , i LOVE both dragon ball and DC comics. the fight scenes were masterpieces.

lol same-ish...but THE MATRIX-ESQUE FIGHT dbz feeling AWESOMELESS!!!

shane fuller EXACTLY! i was about to write that , that was also epic as hell awesome dbz style.

+shane fuller That final fight from the trilogy came after DragonBall

I have no problem with how it was done however was i really the only solution? He couldve just fly with him out of there or ripped his eyes out or many other options

And he was actually sad about it, unlike superman 2

@@TheBloodmist81 I mean, it's possible Zod could've countered that, futhermore in an intense moment when lives are at risk, would you really be able to think up convenient alternatives

@@AeneasGemini EXACTLY!

@@TheBloodmist81 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Fly with him were?!? To the Mall? To Hawaii? To pre-long the fight! If he didn't kill Zod then, Zod would've beaten him! Zod is a fighter the only advantage Kal had was his experience with his powers. But, Zod mastered his powers the fight would've been over!

Capt Flea you don't even see Zod actually dying so you're wrong

unknown unknown Right right. We just see him fall into a dark abyss inside Superman's fortress. I'm sure there were pillows waiting for him to catch his fall. He killed him dude. Don't be a stupid troll

Capt Flea There is a deleted scene showing he survived lol you MOS fanboys are so desperate with excuses and dumb logic to defend that trash.

unknown unknown A deleted scene is irrelevant because that means it's not part of the movie. Please explain how it's dumb logic because I am in no way a fanboy. I just hate it when people make a big fuss over something that's not a big deal in a movie. In the DC comics towns, cities, hell even the entire planet has been destroyed by Superman or other characters battles. It's something that IS going to happen when you have Godlike beings going head to head in an all out brawl.

Capt Flea Unless you can actually prove he really died then you have no argument here, go ahead...

I've said this same thing so many times. People who disagree point out that in the directors cut of Superman II Zod is returned to the phantom zone, but still the first reaction at the end is that crew are all dead, after being reduced to a human state. I'd also like to point out that in Superman II, Superman decides he no longer wants to be Superman, and instead wants a normal life and lays down the mantle of being a hero. I think that act alone is far more shameful than anything wrong with Man of Steel. Also, Man of Steel Superman takes his revenge out on a truck from the bar scene instead of beating the guy down, in Superman II, he is bullied, looses, and then returns after saving the world, picks another fight, and crushes the guy's hand. So even though people say Man of Steel was a let down, if you compare the two "Zod" movies, Man of Steel's Superman is more of an honest and heroic character. In the Zod fight in Man of Steel, Superman is a rookie, and Zod was literally born to be a soldier. Zod does way more damage than Superman does, with Superman getting in a good shot from time to time because he has more raw strength. Zod had more skill because of his training and genetic programing. Bottom line is in this Universe, the phantom zone is closed, and there isn't a chain or jail on Earth that's going to hold either "man". Man of Steel is the best attempt at a Superman movie so far. I am worried about the next installment, but so far I'm pleasantly surprised.

@@jlittle1998 agree. Zod essentially lays down the gauntlet... *THIS ENDS ONE WAY, KAL. EITHER YOU DIE OR I DO!* That was it.

Superman is supposed to be smart, maybe he could've just pocked Zod's eyes out. Dunno, just funny to think about.

the difference is massive. superman 2 is a light hearted goofy fun flick, the “death” is just portrayed as a satisfying defeat. in man of steel, zods death is him getting his neck snapped. the whole dragon ball z fight was cool and all but if zod was sucked into the phantom zone with the other kryptonians, nothing about the movie’s plot or theme would change, so it’s basically just for shock value.

It was out of sight out of mind the way that he killed him in Superman II. This was an in your face, I broke this mofo's neck on screen that people couldn't handle.

One of the best Zod? there have been 2

Zain Peterson Smallville, The Adventures of Superman and Lois Lane

TheBlond49 well yah but this is about movies.

Zain Peterson Well, only movies. But just in case: Superman / Batman World's Finest, Superman Branisc Attacks, Superman / Batman Public Enemies, Justice League Crisis On Two Earths, All Star Superman

TheBlond49 ONLY MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I definitely think the DCEU could've benefited more if they made a MoS sequel before BvS

When dc had a good heading and wasn't copying mcu

@@Minetic Which was Snyder's plan initially, but WB wanted BvS

Still love it

Technically the DCEU didn’t really exist at this point. I remember people theorizing about whether or not they were gonna tie MOS into The Dark Knight trilogy.

I don't think jor el's interface created the suit... and even if it did, not once was it mentioned in the movie.

No, dude. Its a scout ship. That's a kryptonian scout uniform.

Also it was said that the ship was part of the El family.

Probably because that was never established and you’re thinking for the movie now.

​@@alexmaverick6647 Finally a lad with some logic in this comment section. The film has a chronic problem with skipping basic continuity - or in other word - making leaps in logic. Some of these explanations COULD work, but what you're doing is called "writing for the movie" now. The film has a plot hole and you are trying to fill it in with a plausible solution. But the fact remains people that the film didn't bother to explain it. Don't clothe it in intellectual finery and say "YoU jUsT dIdN't GeT iT sImPleToN!"

I actually liked it how he killed Zod, He had to kill his own kind for the survival of the rest. Also, that scream of pain afterwards.. I felt that.. O.O

I am not a hater of that particular scene , though I wonder if snapping the neck was the only option he had ? Maybe he could have flown up with him still in the headlock ? I mean it was possible yes ? Though I would have liked an ending something similar to how Superman killed Doomsday in the animated movie. [without Supes dying I mean :P ] Just an idea folks :)

Arjun Salwan Maybe if he flew him up Zod would've "Accidently" burned them with his eyes. Though I guess it could've happened with the snapping of the neck too. Or afterwards what would have happened? Zod wouldnt have stopped and he couldnt be sent to prison.. so ya.. xD (just saying)

What I mean that snapping the neck was kinda cheap way for Zod to die. I wish there was something even more epic. Like dive bombing from space to earth , while fighting all the way down. Getting what I mean ? :)

Arjun Salwan oh my bad XD Ya.. that wouldve been cool actually xD

Damn! lol I've probably seen it seven times. Can't hold a candle to 20 though! ha

This is insannnnee lmao

100+ now

I've seen Man of Steel nearly 20 times.

at least 40 times

I've said this already in other videos, but my grandpa has been a fan of Superman ever since 1938, and he really enjoyed Man of Steel. Also, ever watch The Angry Joe Show?

yeah occasionally

He absolutely loved Man of Steel. For some reason, I feel he's one of the only people on TGWTG that gave it a positive review.

As a fan of movies, this movie wasn't done very well. I liked what the movie wanted to accomplish, but I thought it was flat.

There are two versions of Superman fans... Superman fans who are also critical thinkers, and the "straight ticket" Superman fans who believe that anything with Superman can do no wrong.

Read this while Jeremy rants this

N Slater It was perfect. If he let clark do it, he would've strayed aWay from the protective parent he embodied in that movie.

@@jonathanstarsmoure5791 Lol. 'Perfect'. Because 'let people die for the greater narrative and good of the world, and more importantly - yourself (selfishness)' was a great teaching moment on Jonathan's part. 'Are you saying he should have let the bus full of kids die?' 'Maybe' - was another one. You can break down what Jonathan wanted, and also then smack the shit out of his logic on paper, and show that there are better ways in all of that, and he comes across as a bit... Deranged.

I think they should focus on bringing the general characters/other elements from the comics onto the big screen, but originality is good like in the dark knight trilogy.

+carrastealth Want to clarify now?

Jeremy you have some explaining to do!

Goddammit Jeremy.

HOLY SHIT. HE DID.

I mean flyinf through the buildings, even in empty sections, would've still caused structural damage that would've still led to deaths, not blaming the guy for it (had to be done), but still

@@AeneasGemini The only building he flies through is the 7/11 in a blind rage when Zod threatened his mother (something he quickly came out of when they landed and he saw the result of that lack of discipline) every other building he goes through he was thrown through.

Oh thats a great thought!

you mean the slow-mo?

let's hope it's nothing like 300

frank jones I don't remember people fighting in undies and capes in Watchmen.

ForzaAquila Too fucking right!

Anything except MOS' storytelling.

Yea but there was not a lot of competition

No Donner has the better set of films.

+habib ahmed it stunk. open discussion

+habib ahmed The amount of religious references were insane. I don't need to have that shoved down my throat in movies too.

+Yasha Unknown I hated that too. Still enjoyed the film a lot but the Jesus imagery was waay OTT.

Diego De Souza Zod is a DLC character in Injustice but I hope Faora will make an appearance in the sequel :D

***** I think she went to the Phantom Zone at the end.

If anyone, Gordon killed him. He blew out the train track.

And I guess Harvey Dent push himself out of that bulding :D

***** Well in the same movie Batman showed that his armor can stand falls from higher buildings than the one Harvey fell, why not save them both the same way he saved Rachel?

That wouldn't quite work out, since he'd have to hold two people, and take the brunt of three people falling (Himself, Harvey, and the boy). Considering that, there was no guarantee that the boy would survive if Batman hadn't taken the actions he took. So, in saving the boy, he had to let Harvey fall to his death, unfortunately.

Getting Batman to kill him was precisely what the Joker wanted to happen; he really didn't care what happened to himself, all he cared about was that his point, that anyone can go over the edge and break their moral code, was proven right, and Batman was not about to let that happen. It was for the greater good.

Faora-UL. in some continuities she is zod's wife. i loved her in the movie :)

Ah thanks, just barely got the name wrong...she was indeed amazing in the movie, the actor did really well.

Danny SJ That's not true. BvS was originally planned to just be MoS2 before they changed it.

No

skysthe limitvideos yes

yeah, and thor not being able to lift his hammer, bruce being able to control his rage for plot reason and also capt. murica gets aids from bloody baseball cards

Dont get me wrong, i loved Avengers, but enjoyed Man of Steel more. I love Superman tho!

Is this a joke?

The movie gets hate just because trying be and is abit different of what is most pop today, even the cast and producers behind the movie are people who wants to explore, and just for that.

ikr, superhero comic books are always retconed, reboot, reimagined so it can and will go off the borders, except for watchmen which I find the movie excellent and very underrated

lexodius the action scenes in Avengers were similar length.

i didnt like the avengers movies really. i cant find the deeper meaning in them.

Nipple Juice hell yes friend

FiZzLE 030 interesting, because it was the exact opposite for me lol. First time viewing was the best; rewatching it 2 years later and thought it was meh

FiZzLE 030 I agree. I watched the movie in the theater and I absolutely hated it because I didn't understand the story. I watched when it came out on DVD as I didn't understand it at first. Then I absolutely LOVED Man of Steel!. I think the hate is completely unnecessary. People complain that Metropolis was annihilated but if you look closely while Zod and Kal-El were flying, there were lots of buildings that weren't destroyed. People expect perfection from Superman but he wore the cape for 1 day. Obviously people will die in the process. Especially when he's against another kryptonian.

TheGoldenRule all depends on the point of view you see the film. its either transformers, or gold.

Personally I'm the opposite. The first time (or two) I watched it I quite liked it. Then I bought it on Bluray, watched it, and I didn't like it. The action was the best its ever been but the script was a bit hard to sit through

What a fucking coinqudick

Also caped onesies are what all Kryptonians wear, so it's not unrealistic to have one with the hope emblem on it already.

**mindblown**

I've always felt that the suit was created as a result of the command key being inserted. In addition, I thought it was made out of the same liquid-metal the command key came from.

XD i said the same thing

That line killed me! 😂 some of the things Jeremy says is just comedic gold 😂

First movie was great, but already have the feeling that they ruined the sequel.

I hear ya. It definitely is getting setup for potential failure with all the hype. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will put out another quality film.

after bvs I have come to the conclusion that critics hate dc and love marvel iron man 3 has 79% on rotten tomatoes same as fight club wtf

*tentacle

You have unknowingly just made this film all the more intrested/perverted to those who have yet to watch Man Of Steal.

Man Of Steal: Now with more Stealing.

I never actually played Metal Gear 4 and I already know that would have been awesome But on the other hand, it kind of would have been a major plot hole if Zod had just sent half of his ship to the other side of the Earth to create Krypton and Aquaman with no protection whatsoever. And yeah, that's probably how they're going to make Aquaman

Bahahahahahahahahahaha That was hilarious. I'm dying xD

Ok bub, people really care about their dogs. I lost my dog last September and it was like loosing a member of the family. If I saw my dog in that car about to be caught in a tornado, you bet you ass I would have ran to save her.

batdan530 Dude that's not his point. The point is Clark could have saved them all. And the fact that everybody in this movie acts so calm when they die is just stupid

batdan530 No you wouldn't.

I understand if you think this is stupid, I mean clearly they went in a different direction with this film and its obviously going to anger people. But who said Johnathan Kent had to be perfect or logical or rational all the time. He is a parent not Yoda not Mr. Miyagi nor Morpheus he is not all wise and all knowing he is a man who deeply loves and cares for his son, I think the movie did a good job of communicating that message whether or not its wise to save the dog and not let Clark that's debatable but its not unreasonable that as a father one would do that to protect their son regardless of their super powers.

ehh i still watched it even when i never saw the movie. lol

well why was that not explained in the movie?

that's one of the things I liked the most ;)

.

So how come is it too much then? :P

agree with you.

Dominique Deguire The action between the Kryptonians looks amazing, its just they destroyed metropolis.

He didn't kill him... he just didn't save him

He caused the train to collapse and just left him if that's not killing him then I shouldn't be on death row

Tom Murphy What? your on death row?

Tom Murphy It wasn't Batman who derailed the train, it was Gordon.

Zero the Faceless how was it gordon
