    Man of Steel was a lot of things but I wouldn't say very many people believe it was the Iron Man-esque Cinematic Universe starting success that DC hoped it would be.
    And I believe there are bunch of different reasons why it didn't quite work. Story structure. Character development. Strange choices. But one thing is certain. It would take more than one small change to address them all.
    In the Finale, we touch on what might be the most controversial moment in comic book movie history: The Snap.
    Well...the other Snap.

      Lexcorp works way better, both as a call-back to the Smallville TV-series, and because Lexcorp has a tendency to show up in Smallville in a lot of iteration of the Superman storyline. Either as part of some exploitation-project, as part of Lex backstory (when they want to connect him to Clark) or as because they have figured out that something from space landed there approximately when Superman was a kid and Lex want's to investigate.

General Zod would have completely wrecked Superman on a level playing field like the ship, and arguably outside as well given the fact you are using him as an origin villain. His power scale should have him be a mid to late stage solo film villain. But I am both suprised to see Zod won and glad it was the the Army dude who did the deed.

    I always read Action Comics 1's cover as "Superman stopping some kind of robbery"... Mostly I guess because the guys scattering and running all kind of read as "the bad guys" in the picture.

  • @f1nger605
    @f1nger605 5 лет назад +7

    The only thing I would change is to move the "This man is not our enemy" moment to Zod's death scene. After Zod drops, Lois runs to Clark, still recovering from the fight. The general, though, keeps his pistol trained on Superman, saying "Right now I can stop you from ever posing a threat to the world and its people. What assurances do I have that you won't become like him?" gesturing to Zod.
    Superman stands up, catching his breath, and faces the general with his arms down. "Only my word, general, but right now a lot of those people are injured and frightened. I can help them if you'll let me."
    The general considers for a moment, then lowers his weapon with a look that says, "I'll be watching you."

    • @rmsgrey
      @rmsgrey 5 лет назад +1

      I'd have another soldier present in the scene, so you can have the other soldier ask "what about the other alien?" and use the "this man is not our enemy" line as the response - by this point in the movie, Superman should have already made his case through his actions, and, as a generalisation, it's better to avoid long speeches and wordy arguments where possible.
      Also, having Superman seriously wounded, but recover rapidly once he's carried out feels better than him being able to shrug off the wounds Zod used to incapacitate him.

    • @f1nger605
      @f1nger605 5 лет назад +1

      @@rmsgrey - I'm thinking he doesn't so much shrug off his injuries as he does stand up despite his injuries.
      As for why I'm making this "wordier", one problem I have with Man of Steel's implied politics is the way it frames the military as "humanity", as though the military would or should have the final say over the issue of Superman. Not that I'm necessarily anti-military, I just think it's odd that the military is the focal point for Superman being accepted by humanity while the actual _people_ of Earth are treated like a negligible non-issue. The re-write in these videos mostly alleviates that problem, but the "this man is not our enemy" scene is still a lingering vestige of US military propaganda. And I'm not using the word "propaganda" lightly, Man of Steel was subsidized by the Department of Defense for expressed purpose of depicting the US military in a positive light. So my goal with my little change was to do three things: frame the general's decision around the the immediate need for Superman's help (so that the general is forced to _begrudgingly_ accept him), depict Superman "posturing" as someone neither hostile to the military nor subservient to them, and to establish some potential lingering conflict between him and the general that could possibly be explored in later films (instead of framing the people and their government representatives as the anti-Superman element, which is what Batman v Superman does.)

    I loved the rewrite but i take issue with the Zod conclusion. I agree that a spider man/new yorker moment is great to include, especially in a superman movie, but they cant land the final blow. That would be like if one of the new yorkers nailed goblin with a soda can, and he just fell off his glider and drowned. The point of that scene (at least in my opinion) is not that the people should be fighting alongside the superhero, but instead that a superhero can fight at their best with the peoples support behind him. Maybe the general should tackle zod off of clark so he has time to get back up and take him down, but the general shouldnt be the one to put down the movies big bad.

    • @akaneriyun4774
      @akaneriyun4774 5 лет назад +13

      My idea is that maybe before Clark leaves the Fortress, Jor-El would tell him about a Phantom Zone projector and how to operate it in the scout ship. Superman tricks Zod into the ship not only to depower him but also to get rid of him. Superman gets beaten up but after a while he manages to get Zod into a position where he is sure to be hit with the projector. Zod lunges at Clark and he activates it, sending Zod back into the Phantom Zone. Zod swears he'll return as Lois and the general arrives on scene to witness the event. This way, we don't have an unsatisfying scene where Superman didn't overcome Zod's ideals. We would have a scene where Superman does outdo Zod and uses his head to do it. The general asks Superman what happened to Zod and he explains. The movie proceeds as Nando suggests after.

    Fantastic way to finish this up! I had reached out to you on Patreon to share some of my ideas for a rewrite I had been working on for this once you had finished, and now that you did, and you didn't use my idea for your rewrite, I wanted to share it here. It basically deals with the motivation of Zod, and why I think it's important to add a slight amount of sympathy to the villain.
    So we are told that Kryptonians are engineered from birth to fit specific roles, and Zod is essentially a warrior, but more importantly, a protector of Krypton. When Krypton is going to be destroyed, his rebellion against the Kryptonian leadership makes sense - they are responsible for the planets destruction in a way that he could do nothing about. His purpose was circumvented.
    After he is released from the phantom zone, Krypton is long dead and he no longer has a purpose, until he is alerted to the presence of Kal on Earth. So he and his group of former prisoners go to Earth and discover that Kal holds the secret to remake Krypton, and Zod now has a purpose again. This is where the change comes. Instead of making Zod someone evil who is willing to destroy Earth because it's here and he can't be bothered to rebuild Krypton elsewhere, make it so that Earth is the only place where he could possibly rebuild Krypton. Have a discussion with Kal and perhaps a few of Earth's leaders where the question is asked, "Why not go to another star system to rebuild Krypton, or perhaps utilize Mars or maybe Venus?" The answer would be that in order to terraform whatever planet they use into a new Krypton, it needs to have enough organic compounds that can be utilized. It needs to already have life. Mars and Venus aren't suitable to be terraformed by the world engine because they lack the necessary compounds, and they don't have either the fuel or necessary star charts available to find another host planet. The one area where Zod might have a choice, how he fulfills his purpose, is taken away. Earth is the only option available to him, and he is going to take it - because he doesn't have a choice to not act.
    As always, another fantastic video Nando!

I always say after I watch one of your videos, thanks.

    It's interesting that homages to Action Comics #1's cover so often are Superman saving someone. That cover is him smashing up a car against some rocks. Specifically, the car of some gangsters (who had kidnapped Lois), who he has just shaken out of the thing (they're the ones running away on the cover). It's taken directly from his story in the comic itself, just a panel taken from there and also used as a cover. Maybe part of confusion is that, since it wasn't meant to be a cover when first drawn, Joe Shuster didn't think to make it self-explanatory, working better in the context of the story, where the convention of the day was to have a text box accompany a panel to describe what's happening (I'd say they forgot "show, don't tell", but this is more of a "tell while showing" redundancy).

    Dude. You’ve nailed it. I have loved all four of these videos and was actually hoping you’d surprise us with an expected part five. Your story really does feel like it had a ton of thought put into it while the theatrical release felt like it was either rushed, or, as you reference in the first one, there were just too many cooks in the kitchen as mandated by corporate. Your channel is awesome. Keep it up, Brotha.

  • @TRTMN-vs3ew
    @TRTMN-vs3ew 5 лет назад +2

    Nando... On some parallel Earth that is not-so-different from our own, there is a version of you making a video like this one because this rewrite was the actual movie on that Earth. Only if what happened in Man of Steel occurred up till that final battle where Zod dies because a human shot him in the chest, then the Alternate Nando would be posting their own fix to that particular choice.
    Therefore it is not hard to argue that on several if not all parallel Earths, each different Nando would be doing their own rewrites to movies you have covered where they try to fix or do their own take on the movies themselves if they followed the stories and choices your current self has made.

  • @dragonstormx
    @dragonstormx 9 месяцев назад

    FYI for anyone who doesn't know. Kryptonite wasn't introduced into the Superman lore until the radio serials. So, Nando's comment about the rock on the cover of Action Comics no.1 possibly being Kryptonite is incorrect.
    Bonus fact. Superman was first given flight in the Fleischer animated shorts.

    • @elsie8757
      @elsie8757 2 года назад

      I don't think he ACTUALLY thought it was kryptonite; I took that comment as basically him wondering, if Superman was trying to break through that rock (which is one of the things it looks like he could be doing), why wouldn't he just punch it instead of using a car as a battering ram.

    • @ToonamiT0M
      @ToonamiT0M 2 года назад

    It's too bad you actually had Zod die. Because wouldn't he start healing the moment his body left the atmosphere of his ship?
    Personally... I'd have had Zod hit the ground in utter pain. A pain he expresses as more of a failure to his people.
    Since the ship can obviously control the atmosphere in different parts of the ship, Superman says to Zod; "I'm not like you, I won't let you die either.' Superman has the key and calls upon the hologram of his father. Superman asks if it's possible to heal Zod, but keep him contained?
    The ship, on limited power, and is flying to an unknown location.
    After some unknown time has passed, we see Zod healed, but sitting trapped within the selected atmospheric area that renders him "normal".
    As Zod raises his head to look forward, he sees Jor-El looking back at him with a small smile.
    This way, I'd have saved Zod for a future movie.
    Thoughts?

You should just turn this into the start of an outright DCEU rewrite.
