Yea if he wasn’t so desperate to kill superboy he could of just used his super speed to escape before the bomb went off because kryptonians can fly at fast speeds. The way he flew to the lava that’s no where near the full speed of kryptonian flight basically they run slower on ground but they can basically fly the same speed as a speedster tbh if they want to.
For starters he knew a kryptonian died on mars and if the timeline showed no changes (since superboy came out of phantom zone) he offered rocket to go back right at the moment when he knew the phantom kryptonians will now loose and lor zod will escape with the pod so he purposely set the time to take him back those events just last enought that superboy would still survive the blast and he would be the one to die bringing things back to full circle
Yes and no, how? Metron is one of the beings that more or less neutral between chaos and order by observing timelines and setting up similar events to occur. If he does his job well enough, he is offered some way, shape or form of compensation.
@@Oreca2005 Chaos and order neutral with a side of personal experimentation and vendetta. I figure with the sun eating red mist, the boy give up and not mess with Metron.

Not really. his superiority comes from his knowledge from the future, but without that he's another angry teenager. his father better@@gamemstr0000 and in the end, he was another pawn for Darkseid.
Kind of a similar vibe to "Maybe they overpowered him?" "No way, Tee is way too strong." "What if they outsmarted him?" "Yeah that sounds about right."
Metron: Here, you can use Lor Zod's time sphere to return to your home. Rocket: Thanks Metron, I really apprec- wait a minute. What's the catch? Metron: There is no catch.
@@coltonbell8284 TBH I think he has no plans to get back at them as what they did opened up a better expereiment relating to Cyborg and Violet who both are offspting of the Father box and Mother Box tech.
I liked how this gave a nice personality information on Metron. In S3, when the team attacked him for use of his chair to save Cyborg, he did not hold ill will cause, the did not mean disrespect nor harm and were adults working to save a child a very natural biological urge for those inferior to him. But, Lor-Zod literally thought he was above and better than Metron, thought he was an insect. THAT level of disrespect shall not go unpunished.
@@badrinath5306 Yes, he said after reconsideration they are children of his tech so they are his grandchildren(paraphrasing), the point still stands he did not seek vengeance upon Black Lightning or the others for they didnt do anything out if disrespect just biological imperative.
The cyborg scene always seemed like one of Metron’s experiments. He seemed curious that if he placed the solution in front of them, would they take it even though it may mean their death.
I wouldn't be surprised if the fact that Black Lightning had the gall to politely ask for information from him after humiliating him gained BL and the others a small bit of respect in Metron's eyes.
fact the hero show him respect and even apology to him right after but Lor-Zod not only was hella disrespectful to him that he was cocky and was talk shit the whole time and Metron knew he had to bite his tongue to get revenge and so he wait for the chance that Metron it really petty as hell
Lor Zod sealed his fate when he thought he could outsmart Metron. Makes me wonder. If he can do this to Lor Zod, then why did he let Cyborg and Razor go. Must be another experiment of his
Cyborg yes, but with Razor, Metron was just as surprised as the audience. Metron already thoroughly studied the Red Ring, but wanted to see how Rage affected its power before taking the Blue Ring for study. But even Metron was dumbfounded when Razor was able to wield both Red and Blue Lantern Rings simultaneously.
He wants to see their respective potential as wielders of such powers. For Metron, the smartest of all the New Gods, he's someone who is curious about studying and discovering new things. He's like Brainiac, but he won't go to extreme lengths unless he has no other choice to be left with. In Cyborg's case, he wants to know the full extent of what a combination between humans and mother/father boxes can do. He may never had thought about someone fusing with one of his inventions and thus he was interested. In Razor's case it's something entirely different and unique. Perhaps it's possible for Metron to be aware of the Rings of Emotions as well as the history behind each one of them. Given his own understanding towards the rings, he never would have expected two rings, especially those of opposite sides to come together. And since he's aware of the Rings, their abilities and history, he might possibly be aware of the Black and White Rings of Life and Death. Perhaps he wants to see whether the prophecy of the white one is true or not.
Too be fair he tricked Lor zod and Razor and Vic weren’t too attached too anything like the damm sphere so Metron couldn’t do anything also remember correctly Bear punched Metron too

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this scene funny. The very first time I saw it, I burst out in laughter as I watched it 4-5xs over. I don't know whether it was Lor-Zod allowing his hatred of Superboy to blind him to the obvious setup; or Metron being petty enough to orchestrate the events to get vengeance on him🤣🤣🤣. Seems to be behavior beneath that of a New God🤣🤣🤣.
Like, yes and no. I think it's a loop, kinda like that one dude from ben 10 who could walk through time and space. Like, if you live long enough, then you go insane, and then sane. So he's probably back on petty.
It actually was hilarious. When the caption said he had arrived at that place and that time I knew exactly what was gonna happen but it was just so f**king glorious to watch. Also it deals with any time paradoxes that would've occurred with there being two Lor Zods.

@@badnoodlez yp, just because he died and the end of his own time line does not mean its the last we will see of him :) Besides, its comic books, no one stays dead forever. I'm will waiting on Wally to make a come back...
@@alpborakirte801 Clearly you haven't seen the comics. Both go hard on gore there. And both have their hands tied lest they incur unprofitable age ratings.
Actually, what killed him was his obsession. When seeing Superboy he thinks "Ah, I know what I am being offered" immediately. If he wasn't obsessed he would see that this is an obvious trap.

@@gamemstr0000Eh, another evil Kryptonian. Nothing special in the powers department, and his story had pretty much run its course with the defeat of Zod.
@@bud_kleric2771 Because I don't think they add something storywise. I'm catholic and kind of sucked the whole magician backstory about finding christ. Don't care I would like to the actual plot to advance.

@@gamemstr0000 He brought it on himself. He crossed too many people and his plans were ultimately thwarted. The Kryptonian's were defeated before they could become enough of a threat to change the course of history. The Legionnaires would remain until Lor Zod no longer presented a threat to the future, and he no longer held any advantages over them. Darksied blamed the outcome of Lor Zod's mission on his decision to divert the mission for personal pursuits, and would not have extended the same restraint afforded to his subordinates. And he made an enemy of Metron, who used Lor Zod's opportunistic nature to lure him into a trap.
Many wonder why Metron did not take revenge on Cyborg or Razor but he cannot take revenge on them because he understands that they acted as he would and it was not their intention to harm him. Lord Zod is a very different case, he humiliated and threatened Metron and it just couldn't stay that way.
I think it also takes into account: Both were expirements that he got something out of. Cyborg he got to see the effects of the father box on a human, and while prevented, got to retrieve the father box part as consolation. For Razer, he wanted to see the lantern powers in action and even got to see a dual ring weilder in action. What lor did was break into his vault and steal from him. That can't be abided. Though this did show me the new rule of this universe: Never Fuck With Metron.
Prior to this scene, I thought that Metron is simply someone who is too smart to hold a grudge. Lor-Zod got lucky way too many times and he had time travel. I'm glad that they killed him off instead of forcing a redemption arc for him.
Lor Zod: MANNtiissssssss! Mantis: Mantis is kinda sorta busy....being in jail. Also you kept calling me bug so there's that. Ok let's be real mantis does not want to fight metron. Ma'alefa'ak: yeah screw that!
Also Flint Marko in Spectacular Spider-Man, and Lex Luthor in earlier seasons of this show. It's something of a running theme with Greg Weisman's works.
Yesterday my mom and I binged the entire season and we finished the last episode at almost exactly midnight. She thought Zod had gotten away and was super pissed but when it turned out he died trying to kill superboy again she stood up,pointed at the TV and said “That’s what you get you little bitch boy!” Funniest shit I seen in weeks
It's such a shame that this version of Lor-Zod had ironically been killed by a combination of his own original plan to kill Superboy, his own personal hatred for Superboy, and Metron's need for revenge. It saddens me because in another life, Lor-Zod did become the adopted son of Superman. This Lor-Zod definitely did terrible things and was punished accordingly, but I don't know if he deserved the death that he got. Fortunately, none of the heroes killed him, it was just the machinations of a petty new god. Hopefully the present day Lor-Zod will have a chance at redemption that his future counterpart did not. Considering how determined Ursa is to get revenge and preserve Zod's legacy, it's still hard to see the fate of the present day Lor-Zod.
I’m pretty sure present day Lor-Zod will be the redemptive Zod. While he will be raised with hate, the writers don’t have the balls to kill the child. More than likely, Lor-Zod will be used to show we are not condemned to follow our ancestors fate. Also, I think general Zod might end on a redemptive note. He might be instrumental in the fight against Darkseid. I noticed this iteration of general Zod wasn’t deplorable. He genuinely cared for Superboy and his soldiers.
I would have liked to see Tomar-Re's son, Tomar-Tu, take him down next season. They hinted at a future fight when Lor-Zod went to the Oan prison. Man, now I just want a Green Lantern Corps spin-off show as good as Young Justice.

Didn't deserve the death he got? That's the death he thought he had given Superboy, and he killed a lantern. He got exactly the death he deserved wym lol
@@benwasserman8223 Well considering both Young Justice and Gargoyles were created by Greg Weisman who got his start writing for DC's Captain Atom, stands to reason that both Xanatos and Luthor woudl be similar to each other. But yes, I do agree that Luthor is typically obsessed with getting revenge or at least oneupping Superman because deep down he's jealous that an alien is more celebrated and loved than him.
Seems like Metron learned a lesson after Razor kicked his ass, if your gonna run an experiment with an angry super powered being, don’t be anywhere nearby!
Never thought I'd say this but thank you Metron and to Lor-Zod I can say...Hasta la vista, baby😎 Also that finally explains those burned ashes in the lava, that was HIM all along!

Now this is poetic/cruel irony. Killed by the same bomb that was used in attempt to kill Connor (Super Boy) and when he was sent back there, he got greedy and Merton made the Time Sphere ditch him. If anything, he truly deserves that.
I love how much Stable Time Loop is at play here, the ashes on the wall were always there, but they were never Superboy, and were always Lor-Zod all along. That being said, it is interesting how some things WERE changed by this time event, such as the fact Zod's wife escaped and an Emerald Empress was made 1000 years sooner than she should have been.
My reaction the first time I saw this scene: "Metron you magnificent bastard!" I know practically nothing about his character background, but someone that familiar with the workings of a time machine must have a deep understanding of time, and probably figured out how it was supposed to end.
Lor-Zod: “I know exactly where I am, and what I’m being offered. One last opportunity to truly kill Superboy.” Me: “Dude, if you really want to kill him, just go ahead and do it! Don’t waste your time just sitting there talking about it!”
I must say, it's incredible that with multiple layers of time travel they managed to make it all fit and loop back around on itself. Amazing season, for me only the first is better
Even without context, non of this would have happened if he didn’t idiotically decided to leave the one machine that was, I don’t know, KEEPING HIM SAFE!!!
@@emarionmorring8013: You think Conner will let his nephew be a Superboy? After all there are four Green Lanterns (Hope the fourth is Kyle Rayner), Two Flashes (Joann is gonna give Jay a real talking to when he rejoins her.) And Three Aquamen.
EXPERIMENT: Studying what happens to a Kryptonian who angers Metron. EXPERIMENT NOTES: There is an old Earth saying, "hoist by one's own petard," to describe someone being done in by their own plans, taken from the act of a person's "petard," a primitive explosive, going off underneath their own feet and launching them into the air. It feels satisfyingly appropriate to let the test subject, who sought to conquer said planet, experience this for himself, and allow all his machinations to figuratively, and literally, blow up in his face. Subject terminated, experiment concluded. End result: Satisfaction.
Love how Razer Jobbed Metron while Dual Wielding Blue and Red Lantern Rings, despite the fact the New God is smart enough that he can literally trick a Kryptonian into speedrunning himself.
But what also sad about this scene if you go to Nagasaki or Hiroshima in Japan you can still see the silhouettes of some people that were vaporized from the nuclear bomb in 1945

@@gamemstr0000I don't think it's all for nothing. Ursa's still pregrant with this timelines new version of Lor Zod after all. He'll certainly act different but it should be interesting to see.
said it before and imma say it again: never assume you've won agasint the gods in DC, 9 times out of 10 you're just playing the game the way they want you to play it, and once you've run your course, you're of no further use/entertainment
