@Rinzlers Revenge separate the art from the artist. I wouldn't be able to watch any Hollywood movie if I actually gave a shit about the actor's and actress' politics.
1:11 it's interesting that he brings up Jor Rel, his friend and enemy, being right about how the counsel were all bringing about their own destruction. It just goes to show the amount of respects that he had for him despite their point of view of how things should be for the greater good of Krypton.
The opening in this movie was brilliant. Their world is dying. Krypton’s entire civilization on the brink of destruction. Are they uniting to save it? No. They are too busy fighting one another. Really poetic. Even Jor El and his wife accepted Krypton’s fate, but still had hope.
No it isnt poetic, it is ironically stupid for a civilization so advance yet didnt survive the planets destruction, all that technology capable of roaming the roaming the universe went to nothing And what more, the exiled zod to phantom zone is the one to survive, they are the epitome of stupid lol

@@hunterwhitcomb8301 true, but i think he chose earth because that was the only planey he found with the right condition to terraform so that's why he chose earth. Remember when he said they travelled to many planets and found no life and they found earth so he went there to terraform
I think it’s ridiculous to think so few other khryptonians were off-world, and that they could not evacuate even a few other people given the time the had.
@@Creshex8 The Krypton high council was arrogant and stubborn. They probably realized from their stupid tower at the same moment when Lara was watching civilization get obliterated that Jor El was right. They thought they had all the time in the world.
I always said they needed to do like a remake of Superman 2. This was so well done it hurts that Henry Cavill will not returning as Superman. I love Lady Laura’s outfit and her strength even when facing death!
They had to edit her part due to time constraints. Her original lines were: "Make a better world than ours, Kal. Oy vey! I forgot to pack his jacket! Oh dear, oh dear! I hope that his space pod doesn't drive too fast! Look at me... I'm schvitzing already!"
That line makes the elders cowards but the Elders felt that Zod and his people weren't worthy enough to die on there planet so they spared there life by taking away that right and that honor to die as a Kryptonian which was taken from Zod hurt him more.
@@brandonwilliams5526 Why were they cowards? They abhorred violence and killing and clearly felt condeming Zod to a black hole for something near eternity (in Zog's words) meant the threat he was would be no more and this was a better mode of punishment. In theory Zod could never leave. Sadly, their world imploded and this provided the catalyst to free Zod (an event they could not forsee, they thought he was safely locked away for an eternity, with no hope to escape). Killing isn't the solution to everything. Also, there are worse fates than death (in many ways).
This Krypton opening scene has more story and emotion than the Wheaton Justice League movie... Edit : Just watched the Snyder Cut. This new movie alone have lifted DC to redemption. What a beauty.😁
Thejas K R you’re saying that it’s better than some of the absolute BEST MCU films. This clip is honestly great... but it’s not better than the WHOLE MCU franchise
Not gonna lie, I was 7 when this movie came out, Michael Shannon's performance as Zod scared the shit outta me as a kid. That's to show how good he is, what an underrated actor and an underrated performance of a DC villain
@Keith Rutsky Jesus Christ Stamp scared the shit outta me too when I was a kid in the 90s! The perfect Zod (Shannon was excellent too, but Stamp SCARES ME to this day!)
This movie is severely underrated. Everything about it is phenomenal (I mean, I think how they portrayed Kryptonian society as a whole was pretty depressing, but that's just proof that they really put emotion into the movie). Also, something else I loved about this movie is how they designed the fight scenes. The sheer scale of the fights themselves are absolutely insane and outclass any other superhero fights I can think of. Not just that, but whenever superman and zod punch each other, there are VISIBLE shockwaves in the air. That effect really helps to immerse you in the idea of exactly how insanely powerful both of them are.
I only got into the superhero stuff, and barely, when my friends in high school and I went to see these movies. Not long before I was introduced to Marvel through The Avengers, but didn't know any of the characters since DC's are more cultural icons and famous like Superman and Batman. But when I saw Man of Steel I was shocked at how amazing it was. Marvel movies, except for a few very pivotal ones, are a dime a dozen and more like episodes in a TV show while I told my friends Man of Steel was worth like 10 MCU movies put together! The people into this stuff don't really understand my logic, but coming at it impartially I saw an entire world be genuinely crafted in Man of Steel and then a very human character coming to grips with life on this planet and a real narrative building around it. I didn't watch any of the other DC movies when they came out later, and heard they weren't as good as this, but Man of Steel was just awesome.
The main issue, besides the story is precisely those fights. They are not things superman would do. Superman would never run destroy buildings with tons of innocents nearby. He would've more likely pushed the fight elsewhere to somewhere abandoned where there would be no casualties. Or he would at least have tried to prevent collateral damage during his fights. That single thing would've made the movie MUCH better. The movie is ok if it weren't Superman. Because honestly a lot of people felt like they completely missed who superman is.
In the 1978 Version ("Superman: The Movie"): "You have been known to disagree with the Council before? Yours could become an important Place in the New Order, second only to my own! I offer you a Chance for Greatness, Jor-El, so take it and join us! You will bow down before me; I swear it! No Matter what it takes to Eternity, you will bow down before me - both you and then, one Day, your Successors!"
forgetting that this is all backstory and set up for Superman as a character, I would totally watch a movie about Krypton, Jor El, Zod and the rest. It just looks like awesome sci-fi/space fantasy world-building...
That, is Krypton's version of Private ranked PYLE (from Full Metal Jacket) speaking after he was caught. And spitting phlegm is beneath any act of a real General
I agree but I like Terence Stamp's General Zod better and his act of defiance was better when he says to Jor El " The vote must be unanimous Jor El. It has therefore become your decision. You alone will condemn us if you wish and you alone will be held responsible by me. Join us. You have been known to disagree with the Council before. Yours could become a voice in the new order second only to my own. I offer you a chance for greatness Jor El. Take it. Join us. You will bow before me Jor El I swear it no matter that it takes an eternity. You will bow before me! Both you and then one day YOUR HEIRS!!"
The Music is what made this scene so EPIC! Costume, Set design & those Spaceships, the Kryptonian landscape....Movie was light years ahead in terms of a vision for Superman...IMO 🤔
The music transition at 4:28 is just gnarly AF. Such a powerful theme, heavy with gravitas & urgency, it gives me chills every time. Such an underrated composer.
Bro it's Hans Zimmer and it is one of the most appreciated composers.He composed The Dark Knight Trilogy, BVS, Wonder Woman, Dark Phoenix, Inception, Interstellar and a lot more.
@@flavius7026: I'm not comparing him to entertainment soundtrack composers, I'm comparing him to all composers in the contemporary classical genre-but that's great that he's #2 on IMDB.
I don't think krypton had sunsets tho cause it orbits a red dwarf star and to have life on it the planet needs to be close and with it being close the planet is locked in place it cannot spin but orbit around the red sun
There's always a come back bro....... Time gives everyone a second chance......now it's under WB and dceu directors how they use it Still have a faith in DC ☺☺
I will admit. I really enjoyed his portrayal as Zod. I don’t normally talk about how good an actor is but at 1:00 The silent glare, hesitating before suddenly bursting into anger. Anyone who’s ever felt an intense pain and anger knows what this guy is feeling. Standing there in a quiet rage trying to act restrained before letting your thoughts burst out. He did an amazing job.
Couple that with how it looked like that freezing process looks like it hurts tremendously but he stone-faces it through his anger. Real good stuff right there.
Yeah, I agree. I never cared for the character before this movie, and this guy actually kind of got me interested in the character. That says a lot for a movie a lot of people say is bad.
@Hei Darkfire when I was a young kid the only villian of Superman that knew was Lex Luthor but as I got older I learned about other villians like Doomsday, General Zod and Darkseid.
With this General Zod version I don't show any sympathy to him since what he was doing would be considered crazy and mad, but there are 3 Marvel villians I have shown some sympathy towards and they are Magneto, Otto Octavius/Doc Ock and Venom (it's mostly their backstory to how they become the villains is where I show sympathy). With villains it's not just their powers or abilities I'm interested in but it's their backstory is what interests me the most and it happens me learn about the character and what they're reasons are for doing bad things
I never understood it either but I believe it's because they made superman a flat character and basically made him Jesus. I personally enjoyed the way he was portraited in the movie, was more relatable to me. Action was great, acting was great, story was great
@@reinerbraun7115 It might have been simple but it was effective. Superman really did learn the biggest lesson; to believe in yourself. Before this he was a lost soul.
I am a marvel fan but i don't get why marvel fans hate this film . it was freaking epic and totally relates and make sense how a modern day supes would be !!
i dont think they did hate the movie,just a movie after all and a damn good movie,another great choice for everyone the problem back then was from DC fans,they started the war and said Marvel is for children (im a meme maker so i remember that pretty good ) they even tried to compare dark knight trilogy with Marvel
I just don't like the idea he's so committed because its genetic. He's essentially a mindless drone devoid of free will due to his genes, which is imho not close to 100% consistent with reality. It also makes Zod a puppet to his primeval desires, like he is not even a sentient being any more.
Zod is such an underestimated and underrated villain!!! His motivation, he’s threatening, he’s ruthless, he does what he feels needs to be done. I like how he never wavers either. It’s cool to see the idea of protecting his home and his people guide his actions. He never boasts about destroying the human race, he just sees it as a necessary cost to bring his civilization back. Zod shows he doesn’t take any pleasure in killing everyone, but like Thanos and his mission, Zod will do whatever he needs to make sure Krypton survives, he’s lethal!!!
And given his motivation, which was not of greed or avarice but of the genuine desire to protect his people, I cannot hate him. He did nothing wrong, not in a moral sense. As a human, I would oppose him for the same reasons he would oppose me, but as a Kryptonian, well, I would have to support him. He is a man of sheer will.
Zod did take pleasure in it and it wasn't necessary. He could have gone to countless planets and terraformed them. He chose earth because he wanted to punish Kal-El for what his parents did. His actions at the end also show this side of him. When there was no chance he could bring back the kryptonians he was still determined to kill all of humanity.
@@brandonreed09 Zod said “a foundation has to be built on something” when discussing bringing back Krypton with Superman. This implies a certain amount of life had to exist on the planet Zod chose to turn into Krypton for the terraforming world engine to successfully pull it off
@@brandonreed09 Not quite. That was just momentary rage. Basically spitting "so near, yet so far" on Zod as he was close to securing the codex before Kal-El suppressed him. He was only hellbent on killing humanity when Kal purged the Kryptonites to the Phantom Zone, and Zod had no people to serve. It wasn't just vengeance. It was also a plea to death.
General Zod actually isn't a villain. He didn't want to kill Jor-El. He is an idealist and a patriot, who can sacrifice all he have including his own life for Krypton.
It should be frowned upon, it's fucking stupid and has no logical justification if you start from reasonable modern moral axioms idk about "pride", that's quite vague. But when you start bringing up related actionable ideas like patriotism and protectionism they're dumb
Really an awe-inspiring scene. The majesty, power and incredible technological advancement and sophistication of Kryptonian civilisation. The age of it, the harshness of their judgements. All feel truly alien and chilling. And the art and visual design is just magnificent. I'd have loved a film or series focusing on a storyline about Krypton.
Their story here is similar to real life history on when a nation closes its borders and reopens horribly underdeveloped compared to the rest of the world, examples being China and Japan. This universe’s krypton seems to have taken a prestige kinda idea of homeworld is best world at the cost of ignorance to the cost not being sustainable to their advancements. It would be cool to see the downfall of such a powerful nation as it would be a cool subversion from the norm which in media nowadays has been to focused too much on showing growth.
Impossible... We have to see him against DCEU Darkseid, and Martian Manhunter along with Green Lantern joining Zack Snyder's Justice League, all of that build-up in that 4 hour long movie cannot go into nothingness... They will hire him, trust me
eric corne that’s true actually, I’ve been feeling to watch Man of Steel recently and realised that they did start off really well but the lost the plot and I don’t think there’s no way of them coming back.
Wonder Woman was just as good. Justice League is not THAT bad. Yes, it has its issues, especially considering it had two directors. But, it was still a fun movie. Batman v Superman should have been done after a Man of Steel sequel, and should not have been VERSUS. Suicide Squad could have been good it they went up against a more grounded villain such as Deathstroke, or Kobra.

holy fuck you make it sound like Pol Pot directed them. DC is five films in. Marvel's first 5 films weren't exactly masterpieces of film making either. Iron Man 1 and 2 made money. Iron Man 2 was panned. Captain America surprised, just like Wonder Woman did. The Hulk and Thor did not do well.
Zod really was an incredible antagonist in this film. He was absolutely gutted that he had to kill Jor-El, a man whom he clearly had the utmost admiration and respect for and a man he called his friend. Yet his duty was to save Krypton and save his race and he knew it had to come first.
This was an incredible film. The acting from an incredible cast is off the charts. The special effects unique and top notch. Masterpiece. Real shame the sequels went downhill, massive lost opportunity.
you know why the sequels went downhill? coz after this came out everyone cried its not like Marvel movies, so DC execs pressured Zack Snyder to remove the dark and serious tone and make it jokey and colorful, thats what he did with sequels and other DCEU movies. if anyones to be blamed here its the journalists, and loud mouth youtubers who incorrectly reviewed this movie, they wore Marvel glasses and watched this and it didnt meet their standards. imagine how Zack Snyder feels now.................
@@yt_hatesfreespeech idk at that time (2013/14) there were pretty serious marvel movies as well, take The winter soldier (still my favorite tho) such a dark and serious tone for a marvel movie
The production value of this movie was near perfect. Incredible music, sound, editing, special effects. Sure, the movie had a few things off, but was still highly underrated.
@@CaptainM792 mabye they just accepted their time as a species was over, and accepted it gracefully, without the need to colonise and conquer or go awry in some other way and toxify the galaxy.
"I will find him!" Dammmm you can feel the rage and impotence of Zod when he scream to Laura. . Pd: He probably was thinking all the option he had to find Kal-El and find no one
I love how the Loyalist Kryptonian ships fired only at Zod's ship when it chased after Kal. I like to think that they either thought it was Jor-El escaping or they knew the importance of the Pod and protected it from being destroyed
no ,space travel is forbidden by kryptonian high council .The reason Kal-El Ship is safe ,it's because sapphire guards just fight zod rebellion forces and ignore anything which doesn't belong them .Remember ,Sapphire Guards it self is a soldier from warrior guild who artificial programmed to become loyal to kyptonian law council whatever the order
Any Kryptonians who were created by the codex at the time this war occurred would have been killed by a matrix that surrounded Krypton until the planet was destroyed that was set to kill anyone who tried to flee. The reason Kal El successfully fled Krypton in that spaceship is because unlike everyone else, Kal El was created as the result of natural birth. Kal El’s natural birth is why the matrix never activated when he was sent to Earth in that space ship
A Krypton origin movie is desperately what we need! One where it shows Zod’s increasing distrust of the council, and Jor-el’s desperate faith that they will prevail when it counts. Only for both of them to be devastated when the council hammered the final nail in Krypton’s coffin. Jor-el expressed his disappointment by making sure his new son would escape the planet before making any kind of plan for anybody else. Meanwhile Zod expresses his disappointment with an uprising. Though his vision for the future is grim, his reasons for attempting to usurp the council were completely justified.
When MoS came out in 2013, there were a lot of discussion regarding the prequel. There was even a comics. I don't remember exactly but I assume Snyder was interested in a prequel but then WB urged Snyder to put Batman and extend the universe which led to pre-production of BvS.
It was everything - the story, the music, every single element of this movie... General Zod's performance was incredible, and I never got tired of watching his angry scene.
Say whatever you want naysayers. This is the best superman movie there is now. Just like I would have imagined it would be from comic to movie. Buildings coming down when kryptonians crash through them. Thank you Zack Snyder.
@@midnightblue360 You completely missed the point of that scene it was about Clark understanding the stakes that are involved how his existence could impact the world and BvS perfectly showed how his choice to be a hero had consequences, this is what makes superman great he does it regardless and faces the consequences but he was a child when that bus crashed not yet ready to face the world and Johnathan was a parent who knew that and could see how the world would respond to the existence of his son. John expressed a level of selfishness that all parents have a strong desire to protect his son, its not about wanting children to die he didnt want that at all he just wants clark to understand how impactful his actions are that he cant just be using his abilities without consequences even if it was the right thing to do, thats why he stopped clark from saving him in the tornado to he wanted him to live as normal a life as possible. its not to say that John was completely right but his actions where the actions of a father who wanted his son to live a life of peace
Too little too late, Snyder and his wife were bullied by the Hollywood press and RUclipsrs after this movie came out, they were trashed for not making these movies like Marvel movies, there was a point he had to disable his social media accounts and his wife had to explain ppl why he is no longer communicating. Imagine how he feels now, DCEU could have been great if DC execs didnt force him to change everything to match Marvel.
Hands down! Zach Snyder's "Man of Steel" is the best Superman movie I have seen in my life thus far! This movie is absolutely phenomenal in my opinion! I find the story, scientific concepts, philosophical ideas, acting, directing, music, cinematography and visual effects to be just powerful! It is definitely one of my favorite movies. I would even say it is one of the top ten films so far from the 2010s decade, along with "Cloud Atlas", "Les Miserables", "Coriolanus", "The Great Gatsby", "Exodus: Gods and Kings" and "12 Years A Slave".
Michael Shannon makes all his performances so entertaining, either very seriously or very comedically. Here he does both. His overacting/agressive performance (overacting is not negative, he just chews a lot of scenery) makes it so entertaining to watch him and especially how he delivers his lines. That means he's never really boring.
Jesus this movie was so good for it's time, all these years later and I still rewatch this opening just for Michael Shannon's parts, not to downplay the rest of the film, which is also spectacular.
@@evertonaugusto2026 exactly. You can tell in BvS that they were rushing to get to the justice league. And then the move to have Joss Whedon direct it. They should have delayed it and had snyder do it later like he did anyways.
No matter what you say this is by far the best superhero origin movie. The back ground music on the other is absolutely TERRIFIC always manages to get me goosebumps or an adrenaline rush
Man this movie is so underrated. This was a cinematic masterpiece. Every line, every scene, all the music was just perfect. This movie should've been on the same row with the dark knight, avengers. Such an enjoyable movie.
"because he was a traitor and a murderer, we will save him and spare his life, but we will all die in a moment" LOL Is this movie for mentally retarded people?
Zod is by far the second best villain (villain from a certain point of view) next to Joker. Outstanding performance. He had a cause and fought it till his last breathe
Well if you went to some alien planet and got superpowers and had only one chance to restore human population again i would have done the same as him. He cant be blamed for his actions. Zod was a good guy. Well he was a villain for humans in this movie :-)
Bro their is no competition when it comes to Heath Ledger's joker being the best villain in the DC universe, my rank would be 1. HL's Joker 2.General Zod & 3.Bane
Saying shit like "underrated" and "Literally" are two of the most used and universally misunderstood expressions in language this decade. The movie is underappreciated, yes, but underrated? "It grossed $668 million worldwide, becoming the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2013."

I mean look at the panel, old people just waiting to die of old age. They don't care about the new generation. Get the energy now so it benefits them on the spot, but who cares about what will happen in the long run. Consequences won't affect them because they've already lived their lives. Regardless of race, its all the same.
Zod is such a fascinating character. He only wanted to save his race. In his mind, he didn't see himself as the villain, but as the hero. Every action He takes, whether it be cruel or kindness, it's all for the greater good of his people. I loved how He told Kal-El that killing his father has put such a burden on him and that it haunts him every day him every day but he had to do what was necessary to save his race. He truly believes he was doing the right thing.
@@SometimesMonkeysDienah son the GOP are mostly a bunch of self serving capitalists and don't care about ideals , republican voters though are a different story , as for Zod he's kinda special in that he was literally bred as a soldier so protection and ensuring the sustainability of his race is something literally encoded to his DNA
Im a 27yo ass man and you know what it makes me sad whenever I came back on this clip realizing there won't be a sequel to man of steel. As a kid I grew up watching Justice league and zack Snyders portrayal of superman is still and will always be unmatched for me. I love dc because its dark and different but now its over.

It just goes to show the amount of respects that he had for him despite their point of view of how things should be for the greater good of Krypton.
Charles Xavier vs Magneto.
The opening in this movie was brilliant. Their world is dying. Krypton’s entire civilization on the brink of destruction. Are they uniting to save it? No. They are too busy fighting one another. Really poetic. Even Jor El and his wife accepted Krypton’s fate, but still had hope.
That's what makes them a pack of fools like Zod said there hypocrisy that the Elders show and stood by makes them stupid and foolish.
No it isnt poetic, it is ironically stupid for a civilization so advance yet didnt survive the planets destruction, all that technology capable of roaming the roaming the universe went to nothing
And what more, the exiled zod to phantom zone is the one to survive, they are the epitome of stupid lol
"Jor El was right! You're a pack of fools - every last one of you!"
Well, Zod was fighting cause no one was doing anything.
Jor-El wasn't gonna fight, but Zod didn't wanna stand meekly by.
A far better sequence than the rest of the movie

Same man
@@user-rz1ep4hp6e How's saving the world going?
It's a second close to BvS:UE in my opinion
I agree, MoS is Snyder’s best film. Watchmen and 300 closely follow it.
Chris Nolan wrote it.
Michael Shannon's impeccable acting as General Zod in this movie took it to the heights of success.
I felt bad for Zod. He was genetically engineered to protect Krypton. He had no identity after it exploded.
Lol too bad for him
I feel bad for him too. He only wanted to remake his home he wasnt really a bad person tbh
@@sensor3dd haha not a bad person. He was willing to destroy all human life on the planet, but not a bad person. Maybe if he was a Terminator, maybe that would be understandable
@@sensor3dd listen i empathize with the guy too it would suck to lose your peoplez. BUT if he reallyy wanted to remake his home he could have terraformed literally anywhere besides earth maybe mars?? ethier way zod is or always turns into a tyrant, hes a ruthless general who is willing to to commit genocide whether its on his own peoples bloodline or earths basically space hitler.
@@hunterwhitcomb8301 true, but i think he chose earth because that was the only planey he found with the right condition to terraform so that's why he chose earth. Remember when he said they travelled to many planets and found no life and they found earth so he went there to terraform

I read that as Eighty-eight year old me
I love how they basically just saved their lives by sending them into the black hole
That’s bc they was still thinking that krypton wasn’t finna die
They weren't worthy to die with their planet.
I think it’s ridiculous to think so few other khryptonians were off-world, and that they could not evacuate even a few other people given the time the had.
@@Creshex8 The Krypton high council was arrogant and stubborn. They probably realized from their stupid tower at the same moment when Lara was watching civilization get obliterated that Jor El was right. They thought they had all the time in the world.
They turns them into flying dildos as punishment.🤣
I always said they needed to do like a remake of Superman 2. This was so well done it hurts that Henry Cavill will not returning as Superman. I love Lady Laura’s outfit and her strength even when facing death!
"Make a better world than ours, Kal."
That line and her delivery gets me a little misty eyed every single time.
what a wuss
@@chocktalk Damn bro youre so cool
@@NeoFromXbox cooler than you, prick.
They had to edit her part due to time constraints. Her original lines were:
"Make a better world than ours, Kal. Oy vey! I forgot to pack his jacket! Oh dear, oh dear! I hope that his space pod doesn't drive too fast! Look at me... I'm schvitzing already!"
And WB ruined it 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
You won’t kill us yourself, u wouldn’t sully your hands but you’ll dam us to a black hole for eternity, sent chills up my spine.
That line makes the elders cowards but the Elders felt that Zod and his people weren't worthy enough to die on there planet so they spared there life by taking away that right and that honor to die as a Kryptonian which was taken from Zod hurt him more.
@@brandonwilliams5526 Why were they cowards? They abhorred violence and killing and clearly felt condeming Zod to a black hole for something near eternity (in Zog's words) meant the threat he was would be no more and this was a better mode of punishment. In theory Zod could never leave. Sadly, their world imploded and this provided the catalyst to free Zod (an event they could not forsee, they thought he was safely locked away for an eternity, with no hope to escape). Killing isn't the solution to everything. Also, there are worse fates than death (in many ways).
@sethrauldatta well they condemned them to the blackhole because they believed that Zod and his crew weren't worthy enough to die on there planet.
This Krypton opening scene has more story and emotion than the Wheaton Justice League movie...
Edit : Just watched the Snyder Cut. This new movie alone have lifted DC to redemption. What a beauty.😁
Thejas K R whoa whoa there. You’re taking it a bit too far with that
@Thejas K R DCU is such. To many super power heroes. There's nothing fighting action
Thejas K R you’re saying that it’s better than some of the absolute BEST MCU films. This clip is honestly great... but it’s not better than the WHOLE MCU franchise
Thejas K R you’re starting to confuse me now
@Thejas K R Anna chill. We should be good movie lovers instead of being Marvel or DC fanboys.
Lady Lara went like a boss as well. No panic, no flinching, no tears.
No tears? What about mine?
Sorry. 😢
I think she probably already knew that Krpyton was dying
Not gonna lie, I was 7 when this movie came out, Michael Shannon's performance as Zod scared the shit outta me as a kid. That's to show how good he is, what an underrated actor and an underrated performance of a DC villain
@Keith Rutsky Jesus Christ Stamp scared the shit outta me too when I was a kid in the 90s! The perfect Zod (Shannon was excellent too, but Stamp SCARES ME to this day!)
I'm never gonna forget the feeling when we first saw the movie in a theater when it first came out. I was scared as a kid. 🤣
Watch Boardwalk Empire!
I was 6 but I but the only thing i remember was the poster and the part where Kal uses his X-Ray Vision at school but that’s it
Stamp’s Zod was purely evil. Shannon’s Zod just had his priorities f’d up and not necessarily as evil.
Someone really thought the shape of those capsules was a good idea
Lol. They were going to fxxx the phantom zone
And they put them inside a slowly opening hole...
Jeff Besoss did
That's when you know you're really f***ed. 😂
Its a bird
Its a plane
No its flying dildos
This movie is severely underrated. Everything about it is phenomenal (I mean, I think how they portrayed Kryptonian society as a whole was pretty depressing, but that's just proof that they really put emotion into the movie).
Also, something else I loved about this movie is how they designed the fight scenes. The sheer scale of the fights themselves are absolutely insane and outclass any other superhero fights I can think of. Not just that, but whenever superman and zod punch each other, there are VISIBLE shockwaves in the air. That effect really helps to immerse you in the idea of exactly how insanely powerful both of them are.
I only got into the superhero stuff, and barely, when my friends in high school and I went to see these movies. Not long before I was introduced to Marvel through The Avengers, but didn't know any of the characters since DC's are more cultural icons and famous like Superman and Batman. But when I saw Man of Steel I was shocked at how amazing it was. Marvel movies, except for a few very pivotal ones, are a dime a dozen and more like episodes in a TV show while I told my friends Man of Steel was worth like 10 MCU movies put together! The people into this stuff don't really understand my logic, but coming at it impartially I saw an entire world be genuinely crafted in Man of Steel and then a very human character coming to grips with life on this planet and a real narrative building around it. I didn't watch any of the other DC movies when they came out later, and heard they weren't as good as this, but Man of Steel was just awesome.
@@Awakeningspirit20 sadly people trashed when it came
Yea but justice league sucks!!!
The main issue, besides the story is precisely those fights.
They are not things superman would do. Superman would
never run destroy buildings with tons of innocents nearby.
He would've more likely pushed the fight elsewhere to somewhere
abandoned where there would be no casualties. Or he would
at least have tried to prevent collateral damage during his fights.
That single thing would've made the movie MUCH better.
The movie is ok if it weren't Superman. Because honestly
a lot of people felt like they completely missed who superman is.
The fight is inspired by anime like birdy the mighty and Dragonball. Looks nothing like superman cartoon. I was blown away
Ayelet Zurer is great at playing the tragic figure. And she is so beautiful, exactly how I imagine Superman's mother would look.
“I WILL FIND HIM!” Damn that is one of best scene of the movie
he was so angry when he said it
The best
Dude, yes
In the 1978 Version ("Superman: The Movie"):
"You have been known to disagree with the Council before? Yours could become an important Place in the New Order, second only to my own! I offer you a Chance for Greatness, Jor-El, so take it and join us! You will bow down before me; I swear it! No Matter what it takes to Eternity, you will bow down before me - both you and then, one Day, your Successors!"
But he did find him!
Anyone else find the Kryptonian technology and energy stuff oddly satisfying? 😅
forgetting that this is all backstory and set up for Superman as a character, I would totally watch a movie about Krypton, Jor El, Zod and the rest. It just looks like awesome sci-fi/space fantasy world-building...
The design for the Kryptonian civilization reminds me of the Protoss from Starcraft. Utopian-looking stuff!
It's very H.R Giger-ish which would explain the penis pods.
@@alfey318 Satisfying penis pods
@@ExtremeUnction1988 I was thinking the same, a Man of Steel prequel would be awesome like they do that new gods movie about their planet n stuff
Brilliant acting by shannon, when he says I will find him. Better acting in those few words than the entirety of some other superhero movies.
Christopher Nolan only justice league really all those other ones you named weren’t nearly as bad as justice league
That, is Krypton's version of Private ranked PYLE (from Full Metal Jacket) speaking after he was caught. And spitting phlegm is beneath any act of a real General
I agree but I like Terence Stamp's General Zod better and his act of defiance was better when he says to Jor El " The vote must be unanimous Jor El. It has therefore become your decision. You alone will condemn us if you wish and you alone will be held responsible by me. Join us. You have been known to disagree with the Council before. Yours could become a voice in the new order second only to my own. I offer you a chance for greatness Jor El. Take it. Join us. You will bow before me Jor El I swear it no matter that it takes an eternity. You will bow before me! Both you and then one day YOUR HEIRS!!"
And now I’m a year over but what about Iron Man, I am iron man
Awful awful overacting. Worse part of the beginning. 😫 - I will find him!
The Music is what made this scene so EPIC!
Costume, Set design & those Spaceships, the Kryptonian landscape....Movie was light years ahead in terms of a vision for Superman...IMO 🤔
I've got to say, really great casting for Zod!

Great acting
I will admit. I really enjoyed his portrayal as Zod. I don’t normally talk about how good an actor is but at 1:00 The silent glare, hesitating before suddenly bursting into anger. Anyone who’s ever felt an intense pain and anger knows what this guy is feeling. Standing there in a quiet rage trying to act restrained before letting your thoughts burst out. He did an amazing job.
Couple that with how it looked like that freezing process looks like it hurts tremendously but he stone-faces it through his anger. Real good stuff right there.
Yeah, I agree. I never cared for the character before this movie, and this guy actually kind of got me interested in the character. That says a lot for a movie a lot of people say is bad.
There's a movie where Shannon sees some weird apocalypse and he builds a bunker and he was amazing in that too
@Hei Darkfire when I was a young kid the only villian of Superman that knew was Lex Luthor but as I got older I learned about other villians like Doomsday, General Zod and Darkseid.
With this General Zod version I don't show any sympathy to him since what he was doing would be considered crazy and mad, but there are 3 Marvel villians I have shown some sympathy towards and they are Magneto, Otto Octavius/Doc Ock and Venom (it's mostly their backstory to how they become the villains is where I show sympathy). With villains it's not just their powers or abilities I'm interested in but it's their backstory is what interests me the most and it happens me learn about the character and what they're reasons are for doing bad things
And Kal-El grew up fulfilling his mother's prayer and his father's wish. His parents died with honor and full of hopes for their son out there.

Man of steel is probably the best of DC. General Zod and the actor who played him were great.
I really don't get why people didn't liked this movie... For me this movie is Gold, and this 20 minutes opening scene still gives me goosebumps!!
The critics are plain stupid that's why
I never understood it either but I believe it's because they made superman a flat character and basically made him Jesus. I personally enjoyed the way he was portraited in the movie, was more relatable to me. Action was great, acting was great, story was great
It’s the critics for the most part the majority of us fans loved it!!!
Giant nerds butthurt af this isnt the comics. They will ruin it like spiderman and batman
@@reinerbraun7115 It might have been simple but it was effective. Superman really did learn the biggest lesson; to believe in yourself. Before this he was a lost soul.
This movie gets better each time i watch it. It's so underrated and doesn't get the attention it deserves.
I am a marvel fan but i don't get why marvel fans hate this film . it was freaking epic and totally relates and make sense how a modern day supes would be !!

i dont think they did hate the movie,just a movie after all and a damn good movie,another great choice for everyone
the problem back then was from DC fans,they started the war and said Marvel is for children (im a meme maker so i remember that pretty good )
they even tried to compare dark knight trilogy with Marvel
*the jimster that's always poppin* Same here and I’ve been a Superman fan since 1978.
we never get the chance to see this type of superhero movie again ... serious, dark, amazing comic visual ... just perfect for DC ...
I swear Shannon deserves an oscar for this scene and really for the whole movie. His acting was phenomenal.
Zod is definitely my favorite bad guy of all time! He’s so committed to his “purpose” regardless of whatever stands in his way. Purely epic!
I just don't like the idea he's so committed because its genetic. He's essentially a mindless drone devoid of free will due to his genes, which is imho not close to 100% consistent with reality. It also makes Zod a puppet to his primeval desires, like he is not even a sentient being any more.
Zod is such an underestimated and underrated villain!!! His motivation, he’s threatening, he’s ruthless, he does what he feels needs to be done. I like how he never wavers either. It’s cool to see the idea of protecting his home and his people guide his actions. He never boasts about destroying the human race, he just sees it as a necessary cost to bring his civilization back. Zod shows he doesn’t take any pleasure in killing everyone, but like Thanos and his mission, Zod will do whatever he needs to make sure Krypton survives, he’s lethal!!!
You almost feel that, in a parallel universe, Jor-El and Zod joined forces at the end.
And given his motivation, which was not of greed or avarice but of the genuine desire to protect his people, I cannot hate him. He did nothing wrong, not in a moral sense.
As a human, I would oppose him for the same reasons he would oppose me, but as a Kryptonian, well, I would have to support him. He is a man of sheer will.
Zod did take pleasure in it and it wasn't necessary. He could have gone to countless planets and terraformed them. He chose earth because he wanted to punish Kal-El for what his parents did. His actions at the end also show this side of him. When there was no chance he could bring back the kryptonians he was still determined to kill all of humanity.
@@brandonreed09 Zod said “a foundation has to be built on something” when discussing bringing back Krypton with Superman. This implies a certain amount of life had to exist on the planet Zod chose to turn into Krypton for the terraforming world engine to successfully pull it off
@@brandonreed09 Not quite. That was just momentary rage. Basically spitting "so near, yet so far" on Zod as he was close to securing the codex before Kal-El suppressed him.
He was only hellbent on killing humanity when Kal purged the Kryptonites to the Phantom Zone, and Zod had no people to serve.
It wasn't just vengeance. It was also a plea to death.
General Zod actually isn't a villain. He didn't want to kill Jor-El. He is an idealist and a patriot, who can sacrifice all he have including his own life for Krypton.
Nailed it, that's why hes my favourite character in this movie
Yeah maybe not by 1920s standards he's not lmao
He's basically a nazi
So wasn't Thanos a villian( he was actually) but ya see that his main motive was balance.
It should be frowned upon, it's fucking stupid and has no logical justification if you start from reasonable modern moral axioms
idk about "pride", that's quite vague. But when you start bringing up related actionable ideas like patriotism and protectionism they're dumb
Really an awe-inspiring scene. The majesty, power and incredible technological advancement and sophistication of Kryptonian civilisation. The age of it, the harshness of their judgements. All feel truly alien and chilling. And the art and visual design is just magnificent. I'd have loved a film or series focusing on a storyline about Krypton.
Exactly, well said. I'm craving for more Kryptonian imagery honestly.
The world building in this masterpiece was just incredible.
@@corentinbm9091 Totally agree.
Their story here is similar to real life history on when a nation closes its borders and reopens horribly underdeveloped compared to the rest of the world, examples being China and Japan. This universe’s krypton seems to have taken a prestige kinda idea of homeworld is best world at the cost of ignorance to the cost not being sustainable to their advancements.
It would be cool to see the downfall of such a powerful nation as it would be a cool subversion from the norm which in media nowadays has been to focused too much on showing growth.
They already did a tv series. And it's cancelled.

eric corne that’s true actually, I’ve been feeling to watch Man of Steel recently and realised that they did start off really well but the lost the plot and I don’t think there’s no way of them coming back.
eric corne WW
Wonder Woman was just as good. Justice League is not THAT bad. Yes, it has its issues, especially considering it had two directors. But, it was still a fun movie. Batman v Superman should have been done after a Man of Steel sequel, and should not have been VERSUS. Suicide Squad could have been good it they went up against a more grounded villain such as Deathstroke, or Kobra.
holy fuck you make it sound like Pol Pot directed them. DC is five films in. Marvel's first 5 films weren't exactly masterpieces of film making either. Iron Man 1 and 2 made money. Iron Man 2 was panned. Captain America surprised, just like Wonder Woman did. The Hulk and Thor did not do well.
At least Wonder Woman was the best in the DCEU.
Zod really was an incredible antagonist in this film. He was absolutely gutted that he had to kill Jor-El, a man whom he clearly had the utmost admiration and respect for and a man he called his friend. Yet his duty was to save Krypton and save his race and he knew it had to come first.
that "i will find him!" in 1:39 still gives me chills and goosebumps.

Oh my fuck Zimmer is such a goat. He just completely reshapes any scene to be the coolest, most overwhelmingly cold shit ever.
This was an incredible film. The acting from an incredible cast is off the charts. The special effects unique and top notch. Masterpiece.
Real shame the sequels went downhill, massive lost opportunity.
and the dildo shaped flying prisons that took them to the black hole
you know why the sequels went downhill? coz after this came out everyone cried its not like Marvel movies, so DC execs pressured Zack Snyder to remove the dark and serious tone and make it jokey and colorful, thats what he did with sequels and other DCEU movies. if anyones to be blamed here its the journalists, and loud mouth youtubers who incorrectly reviewed this movie, they wore Marvel glasses and watched this and it didnt meet their standards. imagine how Zack Snyder feels now.................
@@yt_hatesfreespeech idk at that time (2013/14) there were pretty serious marvel movies as well, take The winter soldier (still my favorite tho) such a dark and serious tone for a marvel movie
This film to the new batman is legit.
The production value of this movie was near perfect. Incredible music, sound, editing, special effects. Sure, the movie had a few things off, but was still highly underrated.
I love how the guy who plays zod was the best actor in the entire movie
The Kryptonians were such an advanced civilization. They were able to bend and manipulate the very fabric of space.
Yet a majority of Kryptonians didn’t even think that their home planet is about to explode.
@@CaptainM792 mabye they just accepted their time as a species was over, and accepted it gracefully, without the need to colonise and conquer or go awry in some other way and toxify the galaxy.

Yea man amazing performance i really believed him
"I will find him!" Dammmm you can feel the rage and impotence of Zod when he scream to Laura.
.
Pd: He probably was thinking all the option he had to find Kal-El and find no one
2023 and Man of Steel is still the greatest CBM ever made
I love how the Loyalist Kryptonian ships fired only at Zod's ship when it chased after Kal. I like to think that they either thought it was Jor-El escaping or they knew the importance of the Pod and protected it from being destroyed
well basically anything escaping from zod's forces are allies
no ,space travel is forbidden by kryptonian high council .The reason Kal-El Ship is safe ,it's because sapphire guards just fight zod rebellion forces and ignore anything which doesn't belong them .Remember ,Sapphire Guards it self is a soldier from warrior guild who artificial programmed to become loyal to kyptonian law council whatever the order
Unarmed and unknown ship launching is no immediate threat. Primary targets are combatants and the mission arrest of General Zod and his accomplices.
Its called the plot convenience
Any Kryptonians who were created by the codex at the time this war occurred would have been killed by a matrix that surrounded Krypton until the planet was destroyed that was set to kill anyone who tried to flee.
The reason Kal El successfully fled Krypton in that spaceship is because unlike everyone else, Kal El was created as the result of natural birth. Kal El’s natural birth is why the matrix never activated when he was sent to Earth in that space ship
A Krypton origin movie is desperately what we need!
One where it shows Zod’s increasing distrust of the council, and Jor-el’s desperate faith that they will prevail when it counts. Only for both of them to be devastated when the council hammered the final nail in Krypton’s coffin. Jor-el expressed his disappointment by making sure his new son would escape the planet before making any kind of plan for anybody else.
Meanwhile Zod expresses his disappointment with an uprising. Though his vision for the future is grim, his reasons for attempting to usurp the council were completely justified.
And the climax would be the civil war breaking out (and extended version of what we saw in Man of Steel)
When MoS came out in 2013, there were a lot of discussion regarding the prequel. There was even a comics. I don't remember exactly but I assume Snyder was interested in a prequel but then WB urged Snyder to put Batman and extend the universe which led to pre-production of BvS.

Say whatever you want naysayers. This is the best superman movie there is now.
Just like I would have imagined it would be from comic to movie. Buildings coming down when kryptonians crash through them.
Thank you Zack Snyder.
I like the part where John tells his son maybe he shoulda let a busload of children die. Snyder is so wise.
@@midnightblue360 You completely missed the point of that scene it was about Clark understanding the stakes that are involved how his existence could impact the world and BvS perfectly showed how his choice to be a hero had consequences, this is what makes superman great he does it regardless and faces the consequences but he was a child when that bus crashed not yet ready to face the world and Johnathan was a parent who knew that and could see how the world would respond to the existence of his son. John expressed a level of selfishness that all parents have a strong desire to protect his son, its not about wanting children to die he didnt want that at all he just wants clark to understand how impactful his actions are that he cant just be using his abilities without consequences even if it was the right thing to do, thats why he stopped clark from saving him in the tornado to he wanted him to live as normal a life as possible. its not to say that John was completely right but his actions where the actions of a father who wanted his son to live a life of peace
Amen to that
No.
Too little too late, Snyder and his wife were bullied by the Hollywood press and RUclipsrs after this movie came out, they were trashed for not making these movies like Marvel movies, there was a point he had to disable his social media accounts and his wife had to explain ppl why he is no longer communicating. Imagine how he feels now, DCEU could have been great if DC execs didnt force him to change everything to match Marvel.
Hands down! Zach Snyder's "Man of Steel" is the best Superman movie I have seen in my life thus far! This movie is absolutely phenomenal in my opinion! I find the story, scientific concepts, philosophical ideas, acting, directing, music, cinematography and visual effects to be just powerful! It is definitely one of my favorite movies. I would even say it is one of the top ten films so far from the 2010s decade, along with "Cloud Atlas", "Les Miserables", "Coriolanus", "The Great Gatsby", "Exodus: Gods and Kings" and "12 Years A Slave".
Yep...I'm not even a fan of superhero's, superman, etc. but this movie was absolutely brilliant. Especially the Krypton scene, battles, imagery, etc.
smit4459 no its Christopher nolan
But R. I. P Justice league
this was Christopher Nolans last DC movie
Denzell Reid most of the writing was done by Christopher Nolan but Snyder did an excellent job directing.
Michael Shannon makes all his performances so entertaining, either very seriously or very comedically. Here he does both. His overacting/agressive performance (overacting is not negative, he just chews a lot of scenery) makes it so entertaining to watch him and especially how he delivers his lines. That means he's never really boring.
Jesus this movie was so good for it's time, all these years later and I still rewatch this opening just for Michael Shannon's parts, not to downplay the rest of the film, which is also spectacular.
0:56 Zod gave off a strong Vegeta vibe there
Now that you mention it he truly does. And the tall Kryptonian behind genuinely looks like Nappa
He's nothing like Vegeta
Your a genius
@@PermanentHigh Zod is better. Fuck vegeta, short ass midget. Goku still owns his ass.
@@gagandhaliwal9391 ... so like Supes owns him? 🤔😂😂😂
To be honest, the first 20 minutes was much, much impressive than the entire JL movie...
God stop with this format please, it’s getting annoying now.
@@RetroCube that comment was almost a year ago. I think you can chill.
BioSaysItAll I refuse to be chill until this meme is dead
Are u sure ? We are about to use the old ways
LOVE this scene. The music, the epic "last" words....gosh....wish the DCEU didn't fall apart after Justice League
Josstice League man
Warner Bros's fault
@@evertonaugusto2026 exactly. You can tell in BvS that they were rushing to get to the justice league. And then the move to have Joss Whedon direct it. They should have delayed it and had snyder do it later like he did anyways.
No matter what you say this is by far the best superhero origin movie. The back ground music on the other is absolutely TERRIFIC always manages to get me goosebumps or an adrenaline rush
Can we just take a second to appreciate how fucking badass those suits of armor are 1:20
Bro it’s a shame we only got like 15 seconds of it
@@hathveon personally I think the pilot’s from the beginning is cooler
Is no one gonna mention that behemoth of a man standing in the back?😳 that dude is huge.
Exactly like tf why didn't any point him out 🤣🤣
I think that’s nam ek the big dude that fought with faora in small vile so yea taht dude big
Where,what time stamp
0:57 the dude at teh back left
I think its was Nam-Ek that will return from phantom zone with General Zod to find Kal-El
Some say that WW was the best DC movie so far, but I think man of steel is the best of the best
Tera Baap the fight she had with German soldiers was pretty good I thought, but the fight at the end with ares was kind of dumb in my opinion
@Rohan Danday "unrealistic"
Well unless you know any legitimate Demigoddesses running around our planet, i'd say the action is fine for me.
Ww is fkn trash
WW had the most cringe worthy fight scenes
The Dark Knight is
The new Superman movie cannot be better than this
When that music hits after he says, "I WILL FIND HIM!"
a movie ahead of its time ! severely underrated
I’m a marvel fan but I have got to say this movie was amazing 😏
Fuck marvel
hey being a Marvel fan doesnt mean that you cannot be a DC fan too
Lol, your'e not a Marvel fan..
Jackson Mulenbgg what if I told you that you could be both
@@theAverageJoe25 yeah but some ppl are too retarded and think they're special
Hans Zimmer's stellar music contributed such atmosphere and dimension to this masterpiece of a film.
Cgi was so good and unique
@TM Films The design.
4:18 Now we know who the mysterious beings who opened the wormhole near Saturn in "Interstellar" are!
lol wow
Lol
Who
@@etheriousnatsudragneel83 Krypton
Wow
Best DCEU villain till now.....
Hats off....
Everyone is screaming in pain while getting frozen ...not Zod got frozen with that angry grimace on his face excellent acting.
Man this movie is so underrated. This was a cinematic masterpiece. Every line, every scene, all the music was just perfect. This movie should've been on the same row with the dark knight, avengers. Such an enjoyable movie.
THE most underrated superhero movie of all time.
Every minute of this movie was beyond perfection.
"because he was a traitor and a murderer, we will save him and spare his life, but we will all die in a moment" LOL Is this movie for mentally retarded people?
Zod is by far the second best villain (villain from a certain point of view) next to Joker. Outstanding performance. He had a cause and fought it till his last breathe
Well if you went to some alien planet and got superpowers and had only one chance to restore human population again i would have done the same as him. He cant be blamed for his actions. Zod was a good guy. Well he was a villain for humans in this movie :-)
I agree except for the suicide squad joker that one was not meant to exist
*the jimster that's always poppin* Obviously he’s referring to Heath Ledger’s Joker.
Bro their is no competition when it comes to Heath Ledger's joker being the best villain in the DC universe, my rank would be 1. HL's Joker 2.General Zod & 3.Bane
@@tobiuchiha809 I personally think Orm and Black Manta come third now, they were epic
Such an underrated movie. I loved this version with the deeper background on the characters.
Best movie but so many retards hate on it
Saying shit like "underrated" and "Literally" are two of the most used and universally misunderstood expressions in language this decade. The movie is underappreciated, yes, but underrated?
"It grossed $668 million worldwide, becoming the ninth-highest-grossing film of 2013."
@@KH4444444444N I didn’t say literally first off. Secondly, it was considered underrated by quite a few sources. Sites like Popverse, Quora, Comic book, fandom, a few others called it underrated.
I thought it was a great movie.
@@KH4444444444Nthe movie scored low with critics I believe. An underrated movie.
@@flymasterkyle1277 Critics don't matter at all.
Michael Shannon must be the most underrated actor. He nailed it as general Zod. He's great actor.
Zod is like a fine wine. The older this movie gets the more menacing zod becomes. It does not miss a beat 👏
So much advancement but still can't find that their planet is unstable.
Incompetent Leadership. When U don't listen to your scientists shit happens. See President Trump for reference.
@@osaomoragbon7852 yea not the same shit but ok
@@brandonmejia7235 if he had listened to the scientists instead of firing, defunding or ignoring them over 120,000 Americans would still be alive so yes it is the same shit incompetent leadership leads to ruin
@@osaomoragbon7852 I agree with that. So much resources going wasted.
I mean look at the panel, old people just waiting to die of old age. They don't care about the new generation. Get the energy now so it benefits them on the spot, but who cares about what will happen in the long run. Consequences won't affect them because they've already lived their lives. Regardless of race, its all the same.
1:39 literally shivering from anger
I’ve never seen this in any actor before
And the music that plays is just cherry on top
I feel like Michael Shannon is the perfect actor for live action Doom Slayer
Oh the epicness of this movie!! Zack snider went above and beyond for this movie!! Now I have to watch it again.
@1:12 I love the backside turn to face Lara. Small detail, but really adds some style. He’s like “Hold up, I ain’t done with you” 😂
I was definitely not done with her. She needed to know that *I WILL FIND* her son!
LMAO 😂 same here I liked it
@@generalzod5659 😂😂😂😂😂
Zod is such a fascinating character. He only wanted to save his race. In his mind, he didn't see himself as the villain, but as the hero. Every action He takes, whether it be cruel or kindness, it's all for the greater good of his people. I loved how He told Kal-El that killing his father has put such a burden on him and that it haunts him every day him every day but he had to do what was necessary to save his race. He truly believes he was doing the right thing.
You're literally describing almost all villains. Very rarely do you get a villain that believes he's not doing something good. Take the GOP for one.
@@SometimesMonkeysDienah son the GOP are mostly a bunch of self serving capitalists and don't care about ideals , republican voters though are a different story , as for Zod he's kinda special in that he was literally bred as a soldier so protection and ensuring the sustainability of his race is something literally encoded to his DNA
@@SometimesMonkeysDie Let's go Brandon!
@@SometimesMonkeysDie or the democrats fighting to preserve slavery, and segregation
It's his purpose. It's in his DNA
Im a 27yo ass man and you know what it makes me sad whenever I came back on this clip realizing there won't be a sequel to man of steel. As a kid I grew up watching Justice league and zack Snyders portrayal of superman is still and will always be unmatched for me. I love dc because its dark and different but now its over. We we're this close to greatness if it wasn't for the incompetent wb studios. Imagine seing supes battle zod again and wonder woman goes5up against faora
