Superman 1 Deleted Scene: Krypton Destruction From 3hr TV Version.wmv

- Here is the FULL destruction of Krypton. I think this version works better than the theatrical version because it really gives a sense of chaos and madness as the planet rips itself apart. Great music by John WIlliams too.
Видеоклипы
Jor-El to the authorities: I said neither I, nor my wife would leave Krypton. I didn't say anything about my son.
Jor-El already had a small spaceship that was to be used as an unmanned probe to survey Earth. When he realised that Krypton's destruction was imminent he quickly modified it to accomodate Kal-El. He was also working on a new spaceship big enough for the whole family but didn't have time to finish it before the day of disaster came.
This remains the most disturbing and frightening depiction of the destruction of Krypton ever put on screen
8:47-8:55 not to mention the destruction of Alderaan from Star Wars.
1977
But also still the most touching! I cry every time i see this scene, because reminds me how much i love my mom and dad, and I will cherish them after they are no longer here!
feels like the disaster movies of the 70s. No CGI real fire flood and explosions and real people in terror. plus john williams great score too ties it together
Indeed and the way that the Kryptonians were running about and screaming in terror and panic as the city disintegrates around them really sells it.
The green Crystal houses the Knowledge of Jor-EL. A digital copy of his mind upon the Crystal.
Brilliant how Zod, Ursa and Non got out in time, setting up Superman 2.
In this movie, Krypton doesn’t destroy itself. Here it’s destroyed when its star goes nova.
Funny how Jor-El tries to focus on the positives of him going to Earth and Lara talks only about the negatives.
Donner ... absolute genius. You can feel their anguish. Their folly. You actually want the planet to explode and end their pain. Not many movies can make me shed a tear. You sure set the bar high Richard! I like this even better than the theatrical version.
The reason I cry watching this is because Marlon Brando is such an utter badass here. It's painful how awesome he is.
Jor-El was the Don Corleone of Krypton!
He was NOT sent to "take out" Jor-El; rather, he was sent to ARREST Jor-El! This was because he had pledged to the Council that neither he nor Lara would try to leave Krypton, but the launch of Kal-El's escape vehicle required far more energy than Jor-El's laboratory was normally permitted to use. This in turn caused the Council to suspect that Jor-El was about to break his word and leave Krypton after all. So, the security guard was sent to investigate--but he never made it . . .
I had to comment here: When Jor-El started to speak Kal-El that is a scene I cried. Marlon Brando is really good actor. That Apocalypse Now movie is also really good. That Colonel monologue is really powerful scene there.
Strange... The film was made nearly 40 years ago, but the image of Krypton looks a way futuristic and technologically advanced than the one of the Man of Steel. In the late costumes and entourage of Kryptonians look more ancient like. In this you believe that it is the future thousands of years ahead.
And the people didn't act like spoiled brats like they do now
me too. This slow death and destruction scene is More convincing one for a thousand years old advanced civilization now trapped by inflexible thinking. IN fact these white costumes looks inspired from "Brave New World" Aldous Huxley
Man of Steel destruction of Krypton on the other hand looks wholesale copied from Avatar.
They don't make tv like they used too anymore. When they did it was believeable but now I'd believe the tooth fairy before I'd believe any of this crap they put on tv these days
1977
This scene was done without CGI and it's still scary and very effective. Much more so than a lot of the CGI work in movies since the 1990s.
You bet.
more convincing than the version in Man of Steel.
Michael Shannon is Krypton's equivalent of Private Pyle (Full Metal Jacket). He is no General ranked Zod. Terence Stamp is the REAL Zod
Problem isn´t CGI in of itself.
CGI is a tool, like so much else and a lot of Superman does have CGI and probably same with Krypton´s destruction.
The key is with good CGI, is to blend it with practical effects, so it doesn´t overshadow the original effects, but enhances them.
Same with knowing when to say STOP and cut it there.
Problem is that it´s a skill not every director have, and it would seem they often gets blindsided on what they can do, without asking themselves if they should do it.
@@redfullpack Michael Shannon is a putz.
I totally agree with you. Jor-Els speech still brings a tear to my eye.
A loving FATHER and Mother, even in Death
1977
Indeed, man! We must cherish our parents ' love even after they are no longer with us!
Many times in my life I have felt like Jor-El, when I had to make a proposal to a group of know-it-alls. And the times I was turned down nothing exploded, but nothing happened...nothing good. And that's the problem when those in power won't listen. Lessons to be learned from Superman, for sure.
I still remember watching this in 1978,and the opening 20 minutes blew me away.I've never forgotten it.Well done to all involved.
5:50 but, this version is 3 hour tv 📺 cut.
1977
@@spkanava December 1978.
It's sad that Jor'el warned them of the coming danger but they refused to listen and because of they're arrogance and blind stupidity was the counsel's downfall and the downfall of all those that called the planet Krypton they're home and now they're very history and culture lives on in the only surviving child of that innocent world.
It always amazes me as to how Krypton, in just 2 minutes, goes from peace and quiet to all hell breaking loose.
triton115 that's life lol
Like the 2016 election!! and again in 2020!!! MAGA
It's like they voted Biden...
1977
Jor-El is such the badass of the entire movie.
Jor-El to Council :
"You see, this is why we can't have nice things!"
The ground opening up and the people of the world plunging to an inferno below. . .man, it's right out of Milton!
Chewie--the guard was sent because the Kryptonians believed that Jor-El was going back on their command for him to not leave Krypton. The energy surge was their signal that Jor-El was firing up a spaceship.
Its cool to see Trevor Howard and Marlon Brando act together again. The worked together on Mutiny On the Bounty. Excellent acting from both.
Yes they did, I had forgotten about that! 😊
The Councils last thoughts just before Krypton literally blew up in they're faces and the faces of everyone else was probably 'My God Jor'el was right' 'Why didn't we listen' 'How could we have been so blind and so stupid' 'Jor-el we're sorry forgive us'.
Not quite! As I explained in another comment, Jor-El had pledged his word that neither he nor Lara would attempt to leave Krypton. To build and launch Kal-El's ship required far more energy than Jor-El's laboratory would normally be expected to use, causing the Council to suspect that Jor-El was about to break his word and leave Krypton after all. So, they sent the Guard to find out what really was going on--but he never made it . . .
DAMN, this version is intense. Just WOW, I think it was scaled down for time and how over the top it was, it probably would have scarred kids to death. Still amazing how much went into this movie, brilliant stuff.
This was hard to watch back in the day when it was shown in the movie theater; very graphic for its day. Its still brillant. Epic. It literally is like watching a nightmare twards the end of this clip.
Absolutely. Its a brutal scene holding very little back. Kind of like the Poseidon Adventure capsize scene. Interestingly the film gets more tame afterward.
@Dbusdriver71 Saw this as a kid in the cinema when it came out in '78 or '79. Was quite a shocker on the big screen then, and still holds up. Brilliant performance from Brandon.
@@trespire Arguably amongst his best. I don't know what his personal feelings are and now that he is gone we will never know but this one was epic.
1977
I still remember watching it at the pics when it first came out in 1978.The opening 20 minutes was superb. I still love it to this day.
Many versions of Krypton's Council have been depicted as having moronic, antiquated ways such as the banning of space travel, etc. Here, they ignore Jor-El's warnings and call him crazy and pretty much silence him from telling anyone about the danger. So, yeah. In just about every story he is justified in looking out for his own.
superb sequence, its never been bettered yet! you get a sense of loss and sadness that Jor El & Lara are going to die , and somewhat for the doomed Kryptonians too. The spfx sounds & music are better in this version than in the re-mastered dvd version. much more sense of real chaos and tragedy about to happen.
I’d say the sequence in Superman the Animated Series comes close to matching it.
That green crystal looks like kryptonite. They should have made it red or blue.
The green crystal is the critical key to build the Fortress of Solitude when Kal-El grows older.
It just happens to look eerily like Kryptonite when farmboy Clark digs it up later in the movie.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliantly done. The scene at 8:51 when all those bodies are falling is incredible.
What are they falling into
@@katherinegribbins5662 krypton's Energy lava!?
1978
Yes, definitely one of the best destruction scenes ever. I love the additional footage. And watching the Sun explode, followed immediately by Krypton was just an incredible effects shot.
This movie was way ahead of its time in a lot of ways. Great scene 👍
40s cartoon: Jor-El's theory was laughed at
1978: Jor-El was accused of spreading fear
90s cartoon: Jor-El's theory and advise were disagreed on
2013: the counsel was oblivious to what Jor-El's warnings were
(Note: These are all the things that sealed 99% of the Kryptonians' fate)
Kevin Broderick Very well put
they didnt realise until it was too late if they had listened to him they would have built rockets and fled the planet but nope
I agree. The council should have heeded Joe-El’s warnings. Their decision against him sealed Krypton’s fateful destruction. Jor-El was wise to save Kal-El by sending him to Earth. My planet may be 1,000 years behind Kyrpton, but Kal-El is welcome here.
So in the 90s' comic the council was not as stern, or disrespectful? I want to know, i'm curious.
*Coucil
Jor-El was right! the sky is falling. Planet Krypton is doomed!
They used to put some pretty scary stuff on TV! After seeing this I remember having seen it as a child and finding it pretty terrifying. The movie has a strange style where it starts with a very dark and serious tone, then adopts a lighthearted or even campy tone, then goes back to a very serious tone for the climactic scenes, then finishes with a happy grin. It is almost as if the filmmakers could not decide how they wanted to do it - or more likely the filmmakers were pushing the serious tone and marketing wanted the "happy-go-lucky, offend no one, take no risk with the revenues" approach. The end result is not bad, but made me as the viewer feel emotionally off balance all the time.
They said they wanted the movie to be in three acts: the first act on Krypton to be Biblical in scope and grander, the second act with him as a child set as a typical drama, and the third like a comic book (campy).
I agree... I first saw this when I was 9 years old and it shook me. Like this scene was dark, and it didn't help I believed in the Mayan Apocalypse bs at the time. It just was distracting that the first fifteen minutes of this film would be so dark and apocalyptic and then try to take on a lighthearted tone. The first fifteen minutes were distracting me for the rest of the film. But I think if they toned down the death of Krypton to just seeing the planet blow up without all those people falling into that abyss... it wouldn't have the impact that it did.
1977
by the look of it, and judging from what the council has said, the Guard are on their way to arrest Jor-El for misusing energy.
6:21 to 6:35 one of the Greatest scenes ever produced in Superman movies
Biggest I told you so ever!!!.
+Mkmot Exactly!!!!
I love how the council enforcer's eyes are revealed as they flash with terror as he witnesses the destruction of Krypton - 5:53
And the sound effects are very similar to the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark, when the ghosts appear
Greatest movie ever made IMHO that resonates so deeply with me. A masterpiece.
I prefer this destruction of Krypton to envisaged in Man of Steel.
the emotional depiction of Superman being sent to Earth, and destruction of Krypton captured here in this movie(Superman from 1978), that's what Man of Steel was lacking!
Totally Agree. More than one missed opportunity with the latest Superman offering.
nobodysperfect06 There was emotions in the new one..just very small emotions..Believe me,over the course of the next thousand years,there will be MANY large,powerful emotions to be absorbed from the new Superman...
In Man of Steel, we have Lara almost romanticizing Krypton being blown up and Zod screaming "I WILL FIND HIM!"
The council couldn't accept his results. It would mean the end of their power. Their star was about to finish burning carbon in to neon in its core and Jor-El had deduced that the concentration of mass in the core was what was perturbing the orbit of Krypton. Since there was not enough mass to start neon burning the star was about to collapse in on its self and have a supernova explosion.
blindandwatching ty for this! I've been trying to find an explanation for the death of Krypton for years!
Once a star of sufficient mass starts to form iron it is the beginning of the end. It takes more energy to fuse iron than it gives off so, once the iron deposits in the stellar core are sufficient, nuclear fusion slows to the point it cannot stop the inward crush of gravity.
@@beberivera7011 this version of Krypton and its star Rao is located in the Zeno Galaxy millions of Light Years away from Earth. Makes lot of sense. Not some stupid latest talk about Krypton located only 26 light years from Earth
@@beberivera7011 In some places it is alleged that high-tech mining operations, etc. that manipulated (too much of) Krypton's core was responsible for its implosion.
1977
Yep. Btw, the dvd in the UK re-released in early 2000s had the extra scenes with the council and that soldier looking for Jor El etc incorporated back into the film as well as the great bit where Jor El's holographic ghost tells his son he wishes he could hold him in his arms etc.
"its the only answer Lara"
2:55 Jump to Jor-El's incredibly emotional speech.
This is the best and only scene of the destruction of Krypton worth watching.
If you look carefully (more visible on the Blu ray) you can see the ceiling of the studio when the Krypton model explodes.
I love the scene where the rooftop-glass like shatters. Superman is born on that scene
Jor-Rel to Kal-lel: "Make them an offer they can't refuse."
John Williams setting up that intense scene with that amazing score as usual.
1.) This scene traumatized me as a kid.
2.) I bet the part where everyone starts falling into the abyss is probably the reason they never showed this on TV again post-9/11.
3.) It's kind of odd how dark this scene is and the rest of the movie afterwords has a more light-hearted feel.
Seeing the judge's HUGE faces to declare Zod and his two cohorts guilty..actually scared me more than watching the destruction of Krypton and people screaming...falling and dying before the planet explodes...I was 7 years old when my mother took us to see the movie.. 🙂 I loved the part while flying thru space...baby superman hears his father's voice for the entire journey..and we see him grow into a young boy in his caspule...before smashing into the heartland...
1977
THIS is Krypton
@DarPower1 Yeah, he kinda does. LOL. I just wish they had shown him flying, instead of the viewpoint from his eyes. At the very least, he could have arrived at Jor-El's quarters to arrest them and then gotten smashed by debris. I noticed that they used the same costume for the security guard that Non kills in Superman II.
'Virtually Invulnerable' it's sad that if Jor-el only knew that fragments of they're world would be the one thing that can affect his son on his adopted new home and those fragments would be called 'Krpytonite' which would only effect those from Krypton or those from the homeworld of Supergirl.
THANK YOU for loading this scene, i saw the first time the longer version of Superman the movie on Sunday n ABC back in 1982, also in this clip is a scene where th Krypton Guard was sent to investigate and he himself was killed, that scene was not added to the new extented cut on dvd, cheers for the clip friend
Is not a nova, is a supernova!
I'd love to have this version on DVD. Thanx so much for uploading. Great to see this again.
You’re Welcome
get it now
1977
Incredible scene
Almighty Rao bless Krypton and the House of El!
I only seen this once before on TV thanks for posting it
I swear, every time I listen to Marlon Brando speak, I hear Don Vito Corleone. Unmistakable, unique voice.
this scene is a milestone
As I remember it. The planet explodes first and the star follows.
Superman 1 had a wealth of deleted scenes and its so rewarding for such a great movie to be able to go back after all these years and see the scenes that were meant to be in the movie! I'm just now seeing these deleted scenes,love how they had in the scene of Jorel and Lara talking about Kalel the deleted score from the living film score legend John williams which i have on CD. It was great to see that bit of music in that scene as it was intended to be!!
That scene where so many people are falling helplessly, screaming, has stayed with me. 🙁(When I was a kid, back in ‘78, I liked to think that Jor-El and Lara were heading someplace safe. To me, it looked like he was leading her somewhere.)
Sad when the great dome of the council sinks then collapses
Special effects here are stunning, especially that great shot of little baby Superman's space crystal ship going through the ceiling. And John Williams' score for this scene is incredible.
The Council should had heave Jor-El's warning to evacuated Krypton before it's too late, but they didn't. They forbid everybody to leave Krypton, including Jor-El and his wife, Lara. But Jor-El secretly built a spaceship for his own infant son to escaped because he's entirely too young to die, especially to be perished from Krypton's eventual destruction. The Council's ignorance and refusal to believe Jor-El cost everybody's lives on Krypton, including their own, Jor-El and Lara's. Only Jor-El and Lara's own son, Kal-El who later becomes Superman when he grows up and also three dangerous criminals banished to eternal isolation in The Phantom Zone escaped from Krypton's destruction.
I wish this 3 hour version of the movie was released on DVD.
It's out there on torrents.
neelt2001 I know I have one that's an okay bootleg, but not that much, I mean an actual release for it, it would be cool
If you haven't found it yet; its the special eddition and bluray.
FlashFilm Productions actually, they already release the 3 hour extended version on blu ray, along with special edition of Superman the movie.
@@Dbusdriver71 Cool 😎
I think it is VERY unfortunate that people remember this movie and can name a lot of the actors in it...especially Christopher Reeve, especially since he was the main title character in all the Superman movies. But here's something for you to consider. What about the characters that we don't remember or really care to? For instance, the baby in this scene that was sent away by his mother and father. We all remember Christopher in these movies, but how many are aware of who this baby was? Well, read on...
The baby's real life name is Lee Quigley. Quigley was born in Lambeth, London, England on 13 August 1976. His parents were John and Carol Quigley. He lived with his grandparents in Langney, Eastbourne, England after his parents split up. He was seven months old when he played baby Kal-El, the infant version of Christopher Reeve's character in Superman. His scenes were filmed in Shepperton Studios in Shepperton. Quigley did not appear in another film after Superman. The footage that included Quigley as baby Kal-El was later used as archival footage for the 2006 documentary The Curse of Superman but he was uncredited.
On 10 March 1991, at just the very young age of 14, Quigley died after inhaling solvents.
So that's a little bit of history on the baby who played Kal-El in the opening scene while the planet was being destroyed. Many people don't know this. I think it is unfair how the small parts don't even get recognized or noticed. I mean, this baby didn't even live a full life! He died at the age of 14!! We all mourned Christopher Reeve for his handicap from horse racing later in his life before he died at the age of 52 but how many of us realized that the infant portrayed in this movie didn't even get to have a life? I think we should be more mindful of these actors and characters who are not given the credit they justly deserve.
Rest in peace, Lee.
I was hoping someone who is a superman nutter like me can help me. do you know the version that had the extended scenes of the following?
1. The saving the cat from the tree. There's an extended moment (scene) where he's talking to the girl for a little bit ,I think she was talking to superman about punishing her cat for going up there and they had a little discussion and I think I only saw it on TV. The one they have on the DVD they cut the conversation off.
2. On air force one scene when the pilots are talking before it's hit by lightening, they are talking about the President and giving him food and complaining about what he wanted or something across those lines.
3. The underground scene when Superman goes to Lex's underground lair, there is an extended scene where he faces machine guns, fire and ice before finally breaking into Lex's lair.
4. When Superman knocks that big rock into ravine to protect the water from flooding the village in the mountains, the extended scene shows the poor people so happy to get a little water that seeped in to the rocks and they were swimming and drinking the water.
5. Not to mention all those extended scenes where Lex, Otis and Teschmacher are trying to infiltrate the missile as you mentioned.
I haven't seen any of these scenes in years. Are these only on the TV versions? Any info appreciated.
Show less
That's interesting. I never knew that
Luke Auster Appreciate the info or else i wouldve nevet had known this. RIP Lee Quigley
Luke Auster Wow thanks for the info Luke that was awesome research and also in great detail may I add.
Luke Auster hear hear.
Pretty certain this is the original workprint sequence that John Williams wrote his music from. Directors often submit longer cuts than what ultimately is released so when this was later trimmed down, much of William's music was excised as well. Loving Williams's work, I am fond of this sequence although for a 1978 PG movie, it is VERY intense (they even edited out a shot of two of citizens being crushed by avalanche of falling debris).
Not exactly true. Williams scored a longer cut than the theatrical version, but it wasn't this long. They padded it with a lot of deleted footage for the TV version, which necessitated looping and repeating sections of the music recorded for it, most of which was not used in the theatrical version. In fact, in the version Williams scored, the star ship flying by the Phantom Zone villains was part of this scene. It belongs here, not where the TV version placed it.
1977
@Thorgrimmm I was watching this movie on my surround sound system over 20 years ago. Could you imagine what the destruction scene sounded like coming through two 100-watt front speakers and two 50-watt surround speakers? I ratlled the walls of my apartment!
@volkswag12 The version of Superman II that was shown in the 80s was 70% directed by Richard Donner, but Donner was fired before it was finished. Richard Lester was brought in to finish the movie (which was why it had so many attempts at bad comedy). Years later, a project was initiated and completed where Richard Donner delivered his version of Superman II. Story wise, it was more stable and even explained a few plot holes that the original Superman II had.
I'm glad this scene can be viewed...awesome
Actually, the whole 3 hour tv edit is now on Blu-Ray
1977
*Sniff* Oscar winning performance.
The explosion sound affect is akot better than the edited one. I don't understand why wb tamper with the old superman alot
Actually I heard "Vito Corolone" in his quick line; "My friend, I have never been otherwise... this madness is yours." Lyle might have looked better, but Brando got them Hackman (he said he only did the film because Marlon had signed on) and got them more funding from the studio.
Originally (and you can see this in the opening of the old cartoon) Krypton was supposed to house a "race of supermen." But as Superman's powers increased (remember in the old comic he could just about a eighth of a mile and "nothing less than a bursting shell could pierce his skin" which means he was NOT totally invulnerable) they began to realize that a race of people with the level of power Superman had in the 50s would have survived the explosion and so the "red sun/powerless" idea was made.
SO long Atlantis....i mean Krypton....i mean Atlantis
harriter88 Saturn.
The New Krypton or New Atlantis of Francis Bacon in united State of America. (FISH-AMORC) Kent007: For Your Eye Only (KryptoS/CIA) $-uperman come from star Sirius. La destrucción de krypton es la historia del origen del planeta tierra y destrucción de la atlantida trece mil años en la antigüedad con el diluvio universal, la caída del hombre en la materia densa y oscura del cuerpo humano donde literalmente fuimos expulsados del jardín del Edén un estado más elevado de la consciencia cósmica universal en última edad dorada o iluminada del planeta tierra. El Súper hombre realizado su Pi-edra cúbica o Pi-edra filosofal alquímica.
Atlantis indeed. An ancient and advanced civilization brought to a sudden and violent end, and all the inhabitants consumed (one from abandonment of morals, the other from complacency, but both ultimately the wages of pride). The mythological process can be seen at work over the decades in fleshing out the explosion of Krypton and the extinction of its population. 🤔
@plasm2 As Dr. Mc Coy said in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home: "The beaurocratic mentality is the only constant in the universe". And that "mentality" cost the lives of the entire Krpytonian race...
except... for one man...
I think It was so much better in the end when there was absolutely no sound before Planet Krypton explodes. The music added just kills it. (The original audio of the explosion here is way better than the changed audio in the expanded version).
This version is memorable and the Man of Steel version is scientifically accurate
How primitive is Krypton's teleportation system? Like 5 minutes and the cop still didn't get to Jor-El's dwelling !
In a scenario like that, it really wouldn't matter. With Krypton's sun already what astronomers call a red giant, the gravitational balance between Krypton and its sun would have been perilously delicate. So, if Krypton exploded first, it would disrupt that balance, and the result would be similar to that of sticking a pin into a balloon--BOOM! No matter which one exploded first, however, once Krypton's sun exploded, it would have taken the rest of the star system with it--again, BOOM!!
I grew up on this...
Wow - it is really scary!
Before knowing about deleted scenes, and TV filler of said scenes, I wondered about the missing scenes on my VHS copy of Superman. Like Lex using fire, bullets, and ice to stop Superman. And Lois Lane’s different dialogue regarding his name, and Lois is the girl on the train when teenage Clark rus bedside it. It’s not the “Mandela effect”.
The destruction of Krypton scene absolutely terrified me as a kid, and this was seeing it at home, on DVD. I cant even imagine what kids seeing this movie in the theatre mustve gone through emotionally after seeing this apocolyptic, fever dream-like sequence. The bodies raining into the abyss effected me on such a visceral level, the fragiltiy of humanity and civilization. Filmed in dark bloodlike tones only heightened the intensity. Many of the same crew that worked on 2001, Blade Runner, Star Wars worked on this, and id dare say, this sequence alone was one of the finest they created. And Richard Donner, considering the rest of his oeuvre, this had to be THE darkest, if even for a few minutes
Disregarding special effects from both movies, this scene from 1978 Superman is DEFINITELY SUPERIOR and MORE AWE INSPIRING than 2013 Man of Steel
Donner is definitely ahead of Snyder
Even Krypton's location 2 million light years beyond Earth in this movie sounds Awe Inspiring. Not some recent crap that says Krypton is now located about 18 light years beyond Earth (Crap!!)
Truth.
agree
Righhht because an entirely ice or crystal looking planet is totally believable to be inhabited by humanoids hrmmmm I THINK NOT.
..this looks more real, that's all...
Red Fullpack Human I absolutely agree with you. I prefer the 1978 film.
That was actually explained in an old Green Lantern backing story of Action Comics 1971ish... T'was GL Tomar Re's job before retiring... needless to say he failed. (Runnin' on geek mode tonight :)
According to the comics, Kryptonians have no powers if the planet has a red sun.
The superpowers come from the radiation of a yellow sun.
If Superman visits Krypton, he slowly loses his powers because of the red sun.
Build up gut wrenching BUT JOR-ELs speech is timeless !
4:54 - Krypton's Armageddon!
The Council: The Red Sun Rao , Krypton and It's Solar System is colapcing .joe El's Warning's was True,The Planet is Doom.
We should have seen the Sing of his Warning's.
It's all our fault,We We're Fool's in A Lie,But now It's Too late.
Our Race Is at its End!
1977
"Great shot kid, that was one in a million!"
Oh wait, wrong movie
I always wonder where Jor-el and Lara run to after sending their son to Earth. If they knew they were going to die, what were they trying to do-postpone the inevitable?
Panic and terror of death, like everyone else. Maybe there was a spaceport on the other side of the city.
Even facing death, they weren’t just going to just lay down. Maybe in the back of their minds, they thought of self-preservation. And you never want to watch your spouse die in front of you, And maybe they were clinging to some hope that Jor-El might have been wrong.
I can see why this scene was deleted. It is much more graphic than the one they showed in the TV movie.
Dam us we should have listened to Jorel better! he some how he knew the planet would be in destruction !
now look at what's happening now!
