@@bluesyrupgc4224 I think that the darker times we live in right now and the post endgame marvel also make us desire darker movies. Also the hype with the Snyder cut. I rediscovered Man of Steel last week and I fricking love it now.
@@kimok4716 yeah. Marvel’s movies are good, but the humors can get repetitive through time. I mean, I know a lot of people who followed MCU from the beginning and started to get bored of the formula. I, myself, started to feel less interested after Endgame. That’s why I started to watch DCEU because while making movies about superheroes, its formula is different and much more darker compares to MCU
I always feel like I'm alone in this opinion. The DCEU gets panned regularly, so I think I got it in my head that no one feels as strongly about it as I do. I think I mostly prefer it to the MCU. I have no idea how many times I've watched Man of Steel but it has to be over 25 times. I watched it this morning!
@@MetalNerdMedia Personally, I prefer the MCU quite a decent bit overall, but Man of Steel is definitely overhated. It's easily my favorite DCEU film and would've been a great start to a Superman franchise if DC didn't try so hard to catch up to the MCU and cram everything into BvS. Honestly, I kinda look at Man of Steel as separate from the rest of the DCEU (even though I can still enjoy every DCEU movie) since it doesn't feel like it was intended to set up a whole universe.
I’ll be honest. This was my introduction to General Zod as a character. I have heard his name before, but I haven’t seen him before, nor did I know what his intentions were. When I saw this movie, it really made me feel bad for Zod. The poor General just wanted his people restored, even if it meant the extinction of the human race. But it wasn’t really his fault, it was what he was engineered to do, literally made to protect Krypton at all cost. I think he’s a great villain character
That's why Superman cried when killing him. It was a hard decision but he was strong to make it. People don't understand this. Writers always try to put heroes in position where there is always a way out without killing but this kind of writing defeats purpose of no killing rule and morals. If you want your hero to have morals you have to test them. Many comic book lovers don't understand this. Same goes with BVS.
@@levi_exiled8579 That`s exactly why it is so good. Because it forced the hero to do something that you would never see in other movies. It makes you feel their pain to make that decision. I`ts a great movie, and in that imo vastly underrated.
"I exist only to protect Krypton, that is why I was born. And every action I take, no matter how violent or cruel, is for the greater good of my people. And now, I have no people, no soul. That is what have taken from me!"

“I was bred for one purpose to serve my people! And whatever action I take no matter how cruel or brutal is for the good of my people..........and now......I have no people....... My soul.......THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE TAKEN FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I've been in small wars defending this movie as top of the line, for fights and CGI scenes. And I'll still defend it! The seriousness and work and music put in this movie SHOULD NOT be overlooked. ITS RARE!!
Michael Shannon is one of my favorite actors, this being the first real movie I paid attention to with him in it. Now if there's anything featuring him, I will make sure to see it in theatres. I have said it before and will say it again, The opening 8 to 10 minutes of Man of Steel is one of the best introductions to a series of characters and the plight they are facing, instantly grabbing the audience and making them care for what's happening on screen. One of the better movies made, and certainly one of the best superhero movies.
The composition of this music is done so well. During General Zod, you can just feel the pain, anguish, sadness that Zod is feeling. He lost everything he had. One of the most underrated movies.
"and you...believe your son is save...I will find him...I will reclaim, what you have taken from us...I will find him...I will find him...I WILL FIND HIM !!!"
“You wouldn’t kill us yourselves! But you’ll damn us to a black hole! *spits* Jor-El was right! You’re a pack of fools! Every last one of you! ...And, you? You believe your son is safe? I will find him. I will reclaim!..what you have taken from us! I will find him. I will find him, Lara. ....I WILL FIND HIM!!!”
“You are weak, Son of El, unsure of yourself. The fact that you possess a sense of morality, and we do not, gives us an evolutionary advantage. And if history has proven anything... It is that evolution always wins." -Faora
General zod is scary he doesn't show sympathy, kills humans, does what ever it takes to accomplish his task, doesn't give a damn about who dies except for his people and has quite the power of a god.. Now im scared of the dark ._.
When Zod made that broadcast around the world on planet earth. All of its human inhabitants pretty much shit themselves. Cause now they got a alien race of Kryptonians knocking on earths door.
I love GENERAL ZOD he was KRYPTON'S PROTECTOR and Michael Shannon is a Damn great actor . and I love this GENERAL ZOD AND LT.FAORA than the ones of the 1980's
To this day, such a beautifully menacing score that encapsulates a bit of Zod's DNA/ legacy contrasted against the piano driven "Flight" or "You can Save Them All" score for Superman. Absolutely masterful. "I WILL FIND HIM!"
I literally work on a farm, so this is awesome work music too. When I can't quite lift the hay spear onto the lift arm, I just think of Zod saying his line about that and then I get a recharge like Superman in the sunlight.
@@Dave_Dot_Executable Thats the only reason a farmer defeated an intergalactic seasoned warrior, the sunlight superman absorbed from the yellow sun while being on earth. 10:40
Somebody else in the comments pointed out the artillery fire in the percussion. I never noticed that until they pointed it out, and I watched this flick about a hundred times so far. (So thanks for that, Zirkalda) Something I have noticed, is that famous locomotive. Particularly evident in "I Will Find Him", "Arcade", and "General Zod", I'm not even a hundred percent sure if that's a real locomotive overlaid into the soundtrack or if the drums and horn are just that evocative. Of course, if you noticed it before I told you, you know which exact locomotive it is referring to. I realized this when watching the Smallville fight, where it shows (if not in this exact order) that Kryptonians are faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Yeah, the soundtrack locomotive is "that one Superman is more powerful than." Good thing, too. It's not just a reference to the classic powerset, it's characterization for Zod. Those other Kryptonians, those poor pitiable and terrifying space bastards, they don't have free will. Their fate is set at birth, if they're born soldiers they die soldiers. Only Superman could do anything he wanted, the others are stuck on their paths like trains on a track. So General Zod is a big scary space train roaring down a track that ends at poor little defenseless Terra.
I actually love this depiction of Zod and his theme. You actually feel for the guy. He's not even bad. He's doing his job which is also the only purpose he exists for. He was supposed to protect his people and he failed. This is his only opportunity to restore his world and complete his mission and one of his own is standing in his way. He's really the hero of Krypton and doing something noble in his mind. You could almost say he doesn't even know better. His theme is stern, militaristic, driving, but tragic and desperate in parts. Perfection
A pretty glossed over part was when Zod and his group were banished to the Phantom Zone; they probably all went insane. Time and reality do not move normally there.
@@Geral454 yup, the Snyder Cut completes the MoS - BvS - JL trilogy. I can rest easy now even if Warner screws up the DCEU, since at least we got 3 consistent movies.
zod wasn't a bad-guy and you cant deny it......... he wanted to make another krypton for the sake of their race, if our planet were to blow up, then the last few of us would travel to a different world, then turn it into our own, to re-biuld humanity but of course, we wouldn't say that we were villains, we would be no different from zod to zod superman was the bad-guy, which is why he attacked superman. Superman cared less about his race, and would protect an alien species over the species of his own, if someone on earth were to do that, we would fight them to protect mankind, so if you say that general zod was a villain, your no different
The fact that superman sees his adoptif mother from earth as his mother even after he knows where he came from and who his real parents and heritage is, says enough. Superman was a fool in this movie (doesn't accepts who he is). Zod was indeed the good guy in this movie. Zod could have killed superman the moment he came to earth but chose to talk to him.
Digan lo que digan, para mí Zod es un héroe, depende desde el punto de vista que lo veas, el buscaba el futuro y prosperidad de su raza, buscaba el bien estar de su pueblo, costará lo que costará... Me preguntó.. si nuestra raza humana estuviera en la misma situacion.. no haríamos lo mismo?? Es más, el ser humano haría cosas peores por la supervivencia... Zod es un héroe y murió a ojos de villanos....
Exterminar o conquistar a otra raza, especie, planeta,... para tu prevalencia, es el egoismo más visceral que existe. Nace de nuestros instintos. En este caso de supervivencia. Zod podía convivir con la raza humana, no necesitaba exterminarla para reconstruir Crypton. Elige la segunda opción (aunque realmente no tiene el control de sus decisiones). De ahí que sea un villano. Es un villano con motivaciones, en su mente lícitas y heróicas, pero crueles y egoistas en realidad. Superman es el héroe que decide proteger a los inicentes; Sí, sabemos que la humanidad puede ser escoria, que podemos hacer todas esas aberraciones que haría Zod de estar en su posición, pero aquí la raza humana es un simple espectador indefenso ante una invasión de la que no tiene culpa... La CLAVE de la película y de cómo Snyder presenta Crypton, y al mismo tiempo de la empatía que despierta Zod, es que está programado para eso. Es decir, no es malvado en sí mismo, pero sus actos sí lo son. Así que no se trata de si sus actos son heroicos en función de cómo lo quieras ver (que no lo son en ningún caso). Se trata de que nació para hacer eso, y Superman nació para elegir qué quería ser. Y precisamente lo más heroico de este Superman es que decide hacer el bien por que es bueno, no por que haya nacido para ello. El elige ese camino a pesar de no verse recompensado, ni querido, ni respetado muchas veces. Es un enfoque perfecto para ambos personajes. Un villano con una motivación total y amenazante, pero que no es producto de su maldad (fuerte motivación + empatía del publico). Y un héroe que está enfocado como un extraño, un inmigrante, con poder para decidir el destino de la humanidad, y que tiene profundos sentimientos y contradicciones (aquí parte del público no conectó con esta visión del personaje, fruto en mi opinión de la imagen perfecta del Superman clásico, y que como personaje tiene mucha menos riqueza y complejidad).
This exactly why I prefer DC. Because they actually make you think about how these heroes and villains have repercussions in the real world. The film was a complete package and an epic journey from start to finish. I love the graphic novels used, the properly executed punchlines, and the background of the characters introduced.
@@noblegiantknife7472 for me not so much. Because they basically made him a villain with no goal in Endgame. He just wanted to destroy out of hatred instead. From DC/Marvel universe my top rated villains remains General Zod.
The tv series aside they should just make a big budget spinoff centred on Krypton. A Krypton spinoff and Batman beyond, thats what they need to start drawing big numbers to the theatres again.
"Look at this. We could have built a new Krypton in this squalor, but you chose the humans over us. I exist only to protect Krypton. That is the sole purpose for which I was born. And every action I take, no matter how violent, or how cruel, is for the greater good of my people. And now.... I have no people. My soul. That is what you have taken from me"
Man, kind of forgot about those last 2-3 minutes of this music. That's some beautiful stuff. Too bad it didn't make it into the movie. Not that I can recall anyway. I'm not a fan of Man of Steel overall, but Michael Shannon was a damn good Zod.
This is practically a battle of wit and skill. Batman is extremely intelligent and has mastered a lot of martial art forms during his training under Ras Al ghoul. Zod is a soldier from an advanced race of warriors and probably doesn't have to fight hand to hand that much, but he might be able to put up a fight.
@@MaximusMarcusMeridius Nah Zod without powers would certainly lose to Bruce. Don't say it will be easy but still. Bruce is exceptional in terms of martial arts and body control. In fact in this scenario Zod doesn't have any powers and Bruce still got about 60% of his power. I mean his willpower and intelligence (which are above Zod for sure) and martial arts are still active. Zod will go down after a savage fight.
Nobody does snarling hatred and zealous rage better than Shannon. I actually think he was BETTER than Stamp. Of course having themes like this doesn't hurt. If we ever get Doctor Doom in a live action movie again (and I'm not betting on it) I hope they consider long tall and ugly here.
Dude seriously that one scene where he's looking at the sun through his hand and it shows a close-up of the shadow on his face, as soon as I saw that I wanted him to play Doom. That monologue at the end where he hisses in fanatic hatred that Superman took his soul, imagine that voice and that face (through square eyeholes) as he clenches his armored fist at the heavens and snarls, "RICHARDS!" Also stop replying to your own comments it's lame.

Digan lo que digan, para mí Zod es un héroe, depende desde el punto de vista que lo veas, el buscaba el futuro y prosperidad de su raza, buscaba el bien estar de su pueblo, costará lo que costará... Me preguntó.. si nuestra raza humana estuviera en la misma situacion.. no haríamos lo mismo?? Es más, el ser humano haría cosas peores por la supervivencia... Zod es un héroe y murió a ojos de villanos....
Exterminar o conquistar a otra raza, especie, planeta,... para tu prevalencia, es el egoismo más visceral que existe. Nace de nuestros instintos. En este caso de supervivencia. Zod podía convivir con la raza humana, no necesitaba exterminarla para reconstruir Crypton. Elige la segunda opción (aunque realmente no tiene el control de sus decisiones). De ahí que sea un villano. Es un villano con motivaciones, en su mente lícitas y heróicas, pero crueles y egoistas en realidad.
Superman es el héroe que decide proteger a los inicentes;
Sí, sabemos que la humanidad puede ser escoria, que podemos hacer todas esas aberraciones que haría Zod de estar en su posición, pero aquí la raza humana es un simple espectador indefenso ante una invasión de la que no tiene culpa...
La CLAVE de la película y de cómo Snyder presenta Crypton, y al mismo tiempo de la empatía que despierta Zod, es que está programado para eso. Es decir, no es malvado en sí mismo, pero sus actos sí lo son. Así que no se trata de si sus actos son heroicos en función de cómo lo quieras ver (que no lo son en ningún caso). Se trata de que nació para hacer eso, y Superman nació para elegir qué quería ser. Y precisamente lo más heroico de este Superman es que decide hacer el bien por que es bueno, no por que haya nacido para ello. El elige ese camino a pesar de no verse recompensado, ni querido, ni respetado muchas veces.
Es un enfoque perfecto para ambos personajes. Un villano con una motivación total y amenazante, pero que no es producto de su maldad (fuerte motivación + empatía del publico). Y un héroe que está enfocado como un extraño, un inmigrante, con poder para decidir el destino de la humanidad, y que tiene profundos sentimientos y contradicciones (aquí parte del público no conectó con esta visión del personaje, fruto en mi opinión de la imagen perfecta del Superman clásico, y que como personaje tiene mucha menos riqueza y complejidad).
It would be something to see Erwin Smith vs Zod as both have balls of steel
Where did you train? ON A FARM?!
One of my favorite movie villains.
Best villain in the DCEU. I kind of wished. It was the JL V Zod and his grew.
I KNOWWWWW RIGHT!
I like they were the first villains. Think they can be defeated very fast by the Justice League.
@@Geral454 zod would solo the JL apart from supes
10:30 onwards is the true antihero. Everything he did was ultimately for the good of his people. A tragic villain.
Followed by penguin, joker, black Adam, reverse flash
@@HypedHazard456 Joker isn't an anti-hero and isn't usually a tragic villain in most versions, though.
@@HypedHazard456 lol😂 joker is pure evil. Joker is the very bad guy you could ever imagine
This exactly why I prefer DC. Because they actually make you think about how these heroes and villains have repercussions in the real world. The film was a complete package and an epic journey from start to finish. I love the graphic novels used, the properly executed punchlines, and the background of the characters introduced.
Does thanos compare? I mean in the mcu his motivation does make sense
@@noblegiantknife7472 for me not so much. Because they basically made him a villain with no goal in Endgame. He just wanted to destroy out of hatred instead. From DC/Marvel universe my top rated villains remains General Zod.
Not going to lie when I saw the Flash really wanted to hear some Man of steel tunes during the Zod scenes.
C'mon bro!! How dare you to put ads in the middle of the track??!! I mean, Wtf??!!
Fantastic and fascinating music with its melody and rhythm. I love.
Child hood is siding with superman growing up is realizing that the most powerful and successful people on earth are alot like zod
Hans Zimmer is not of this world. 😳
It's a shame he had to die
The Multiverse bro...
I love You Genaral Zod !!!!
Love you too you can be my bitch
Thats a very scary thing to say dude.. If he was real humans wouldn't exist anymore..
"I love you too, random citizen"
😂😂😂
That drum beats 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
A time is going to come where I'll only watch movies where the sound was mastered by Hans Zimmer & Junkie XL.
Hans Zimmer you beauty!!
if you havent tried listening to this song while you go running at 6:00 am in the morning, then do it. You feel like Superman
The tv series aside they should just make a big budget spinoff centred on Krypton. A Krypton spinoff and Batman beyond, thats what they need to start drawing big numbers to the theatres again.
"Look at this. We could have built a new Krypton in this squalor, but you chose the humans over us. I exist only to protect Krypton. That is the sole purpose for which I was born. And every action I take, no matter how violent, or how cruel, is for the greater good of my people. And now.... I have no people. My soul. That is what you have taken from me"
Man of Steel is an iconic fucking movie
I'll never give up I'm not here to lose I'm here to keep trying until I got it.
I just love the cool electronic-sounding hum they use in the segment at 1:14
It sounds like the terraformer in the movie
One got respect for Zod when one realize he was a true patriot to the core unlike betrayer like Kal
Masterpiece
Arcade man...that hits different
IF YOU LOVE THESE PEOPLE SO MUCH, YOU CAN MOURN FOR THEM.
I WILL FIND HIM ! *super confident and scary look*
"There's only one way this can end Kal, either you die or I do."
Man, Junkie XL took a ton of inspiration from this to make Brothers in Arms in the Mad Max Fury Road soundtrack
Man, kind of forgot about those last 2-3 minutes of this music. That's some beautiful stuff. Too bad it didn't make it into the movie. Not that I can recall anyway. I'm not a fan of Man of Steel overall, but Michael Shannon was a damn good Zod.
Here's a duel:
Zod (without powers)
vs
Bruce Wayne (without batsuit/gadgets)
zod should take it but batman would win cause of plot (even if there is no plot armor he would conjure it up)
@@elgoblino4188 Zod would know how to fight, Same goes to batman, He was trained to fight too, but maybe Not like Zod, Zod was Created to fight.
This is practically a battle of wit and skill. Batman is extremely intelligent and has mastered a lot of martial art forms during his training under Ras Al ghoul. Zod is a soldier from an advanced race of warriors and probably doesn't have to fight hand to hand that much, but he might be able to put up a fight.
@@MaximusMarcusMeridius
Nah Zod without powers would certainly lose to Bruce.
Don't say it will be easy but still.
Bruce is exceptional in terms of martial arts and body control.
In fact in this scenario Zod doesn't have any powers and Bruce still got about 60% of his power.
I mean his willpower and intelligence (which are above Zod for sure) and martial arts are still active.
Zod will go down after a savage fight.
So, peak human man vs peak human man? The only difference is variety of combat skills and intelligence.
The best villain ever
What the hell was that ...!!! Amazing....!!!
“Kneel before Zod “ is a campaign slogan Id support
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nobody does snarling hatred and zealous rage better than Shannon. I actually think he was BETTER than Stamp. Of course having themes like this doesn't hurt. If we ever get Doctor Doom in a live action movie again (and I'm not betting on it) I hope they consider long tall and ugly here.
Dude seriously that one scene where he's looking at the sun through his hand and it shows a close-up of the shadow on his face, as soon as I saw that I wanted him to play Doom. That monologue at the end where he hisses in fanatic hatred that Superman took his soul, imagine that voice and that face (through square eyeholes) as he clenches his armored fist at the heavens and snarls, "RICHARDS!"
Also stop replying to your own comments it's lame.
