Why didn’t he just cover Zod’s eyes?

It's not the dog in the fight it's the fight in the dog!

Any action taken to prevent zod from achieving his goal would be met with a counter attempt from zod.

No matter what solution supes could make, zod would eventually kill someone innocent. Unlike Superman, who during the entire fight made sure no one got hurt. (Falling buildings don’t count in the DC universe)

I love this movie but why didn't he just fly him into space like he did Doomsday, out of harms way

Because their own heat vision can hurt them. It would hurt like hell, eventually burn through anyway, then he’s back to dealing with him, only minus a hand now.

Why didn't Zod just terraformed Mars LMAO

Ask Zod's snapped neck.

Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it

Because Mars and Venus lack something Earth has in abundance: biomass.

>A foundation has to be built on something. Even your father recognized that.

Kryptonian tech is organic in nature, and Zod wasn’t interested in colonization. With the World Engine, the Scoutship’s Genesis Chamber, and the Codex, he had everything he needed to resurrect Krypton in a timespan on the order of generations, not centuries.he doesn’t see humans as equal “beings.” He sees us as a complete waste of resources.

Because at that point, Zod had learned to fly, too. Kryptonian flight is a function of willpower. You can see that when Zod and Supes are “falling” back to Earth. They’re not just falling. Zod and Supes are both trying to control where they land. Zod wins that struggle of wills.

You also see Doomsday doing something similar in BvS. When Supes flies into him and Doomsday checks him up, that’s not just because Doomsday is heavy, it’s because he’s mentally resisting being pushed back. That’s also why Supes is flying slower when he carries Doomsday into space.

trained yes
same blood and skin also yes
tl:dr they cant touch eachother

They definitely can touch and hurt each other you massive retard

Yeah lemmie just use my hands to stop a guy with lasers coming out of his eyes, no prob

You fuckin idiot.

>immortal superman
>immortal zod
oh look a fight that should actually never end

Mr Snyder?

Nah, just a guy who knows comics and pays attention.

>Let me use my indestructible body to block these laser beams
Is that so hard?

Cause he would have had his hand burned off idiot

>durrrrrrr the alien who is kin to superman can only cut earth found material
>durrrrr alien diamond cannot cut alien diamond

They're obviously equally powerful. Just because your pussy man weapons can't hurt him didn't mean he can't use his heat-vision to cut his own toe off.

Superman uses his heat vision against Faora earlier in the movie and she doesn’t lose her hand

>Superman, why don't you just rape General Zod?

I'm 30 and have never been in a physical altercation in my entire life.

if his body couldn't take the laser then his eyes would explode when he used them

this. why didn't he just use the infinity stones before returning them to the past

What I don’t understand is that if krypton was made anew under a yellow sun you would have a civilization of super powered people wandering around. Seems like it would get messy.

Yeah, but if clearly hurt her. It hurt the Big Guy, too. His hand was covering Clark's other eye. He reeled back from the heat vision, too. Snyder does an awful lot of "show, don't tell" in his movies, and I find it hilarious how often it outs the very pseuds who always use it as a criticism.

hence why it was so important to terraform earth. because a literally immortal kryptonian civilization would've been a ... bad... thing...

don't forget that MoS fucked up very badly and established ATMOPSHERE is what caused superpowers.

Whenever people talk about Man of Steel, they always describe the Zod killing as “controversial”. Why is this? I have never met a single person online or in real life who was upset by it.

You realize Superman came back from being nuked, right?

superman isnt supposed to kill people

When was that explained in the movie? Don’t remember that. I remember superman pointing his hand toward the sun after he destroys one of those drives and is weakened, implying the sun was recharging him.

He said men, user.

That's just it. Changing the atmosphere and gravity would "weaken" them somewhat, but they'd still be "super" to some degree. They were shown being able to somehow dampen the excess energy Supes had absorbed on their ship, so it *would* be possible for them to place that same "governor" on their citizenry.

Super mans super power is not killing people. Once he starts killing people he is a nobody

But he kills people in the other movies

Better yet, why not just fly upward with Zod in tow?

friendly reminder Zod is unironically based, and while we as humans should oppose him, he is correct in all his endeavors.

Nah, it made it clear that it's multiple factors that contribute to Earth's environment affecting them like it does - gravity, atmosphere, and solar energy.

And thats why nobody watches superman movies

what am I?

he needed his hands to try to control zods body and snap his neck

A joke.

comic book autists are obsessed with absolute rules like "x doesn't kill" most of which were invented late in a character's run and require squinting at people being dropped from great heights, punched by beings who can bench press buildings etc.

No room for nuance, character growth/arcs or exceptional circumstances. If a rule is broken it's a mistake beep boop

IIRC it does damn near blast through her Kryptonian armor entirely. Then she gets killed by a not even that big cruise missile. Weird power consistency.

>Superman box office gross: $300.5 million

Thats less than the Solo movie lol

Adjusted for inflation?

Given no other options, Superman absolutely will kill. It's been canon since at least the 80s. The more powerful and dangerous the opponent, the more likely it is for him to be forced into a situation where he has to. He's killed Zod, he's killed Doomsday, he's killed Faora and Non, and that's just the better-known ones.

What you guys need to internalize is the difference between a righteous kill and murder. Zod's death in MoS was a righteous kill in every conceivable way.

Because Zod can cancel that out at that point. He's learned to fly too. Also, it doesn't solve the problem, only delays the inevitable.

That's what makes him a great villain. It's not hard to imagine humans doing similar in a situation that desperate.

And then what? Zod wasn't going to stop, even if Clark prevented him from killing people at that moment, if the fight kept going Zod would just have more chances to kill people. What if Zod got the advantage next, and killed Clark? Humanity gets genocided, that's what. Whether or not Clark could stop the heat vision is 100% irrelevant, what matters is that's the moment Clark accepted Zod would never stop fighting and did the only thing he could.

>IIRC
You don't remember correctly, Faora was on the place Law & Order guy dive bombed into the ship and sent the Kryptonians back to the Phantom Zone.

When Jor-El is explaining why he chose Earth. In the movies, Superman's powers are a combination of the sun, atmosphere and Earth's lower gravity.

They fucked up superman's character in the 80s then. He is supposed to be better than any human. Superman can not kill people even if they are bad. Zod should have killed himself somehow in the movie

Why didn't he just impregnate Faora?

His lasers fucked up her force-field mask. That mask kept them from being assaulted by their off-the-hook senses in Earth's environment. The same thing happened to Zod earlier in the same scene. It's not the force of the missile's explosion that knocks her out, it's sensory overload.

I swear, people absolutely don't know how to watch movies anymore.

>And then what?
Lure him to the fortress of solitude, take away his powers and throw him down a crack
Easy

Why didn't they just nuke Krypton?

You're now actively advocating for the character to be a Mary Sue. That's why I feel perfectly justified in ignoring anything further you have to say. Also, a hero who refuses to kill in any and all circumstances isn't a hero, just a power fantasy.

Superman not killing people is an artifact of the Comics Code.

Goddam right.

Not killing people is his true weakness and his greatest strength. If superman kills he is an all powerful god

See

>I swear, people absolutely don't know how to watch movies anymore.
People who don't participate in vs debates shouldn't be allowed to comment on how movie super powers work, they don't know how to evaluate context correctly.

reminder most of the damage done in metropolis was from the terraformer not supes

>repeat old things good

Just wanted to say that I love this movie and will defend it from power fantasy fanwankers, MCU drones, and other assorted literal retards until the day I die.

>There's only one way this ends, Whedon: either you die, or I do.

RELEASE THE SNYDER CUT.
