FIRST TIME WATCHING *MAN OF STEEL*

[@gibio396]

I love how strong and fast the kryptonians feel in the zack snyder movies

[@SauceMeGud]

Indeed. I can't honestly say I'm a fan of most of these movies they tried to kickstart a DC cinematic universe with over the last decade -- in fact, this one is the only one I like, and I still have problems with it -- but I'll give them this: they certainly know how to make these characters feel powerful on the big screen.

[@4everhealthwellness344]

Agreed. A lot of people criticize Zack Snyder, mostly for his slow mo obsession. But I think he did a great job with this era of the DCEU. He captured the darker themed cinematography that the DC universe is supposed to have. Although BVS is so so, there's still great moments to it. The end battle between the "Holy Trinity" of the Justice League and Doomsday is epic IMO.

[@shotguntony4730]

So two things. 1. The reason why the female kryptonian didn’t immediately kill the Colonel guy was because the Colonel guy didn’t surrender or back down even though he saw her massacre all his men easily and she respected that. That’s why she pulled out a knife instead of just immediately backhanding him. 2. The glasses thing actually makes sense because the actor for Superman once stood underneath a poster for I believe Batman vs Superman while also wearing a Superman t-shirt and nobody recognized him. Plus you wouldn’t really expect Superman to be working a normal job. You would just think he has a striking resemblance with Superman.

[@notthebeastinus2786]

Also, if I remember correctly, his glasses had a sort of dissonance effect in the comics, so that people couldn't really connect the dots

36:14 They weren't simply changing the atmosphere, but the gravity as well. You see, Krypton's gravity is 1000x greater than that of Earth's. Their whole point is to colonize to a new planet to build a NEW Kryptonian planet to preserve their race for the next generations. That's why they wanted the Codex, to begin rebuilding their race as Zod only wants the best and the strongest to conquer.

[@g.masterlordoftheg-force4770]

12:29 Well, one could say that a god did that to him (since DC does have gods), but not directly. The Kryptonian god is Rao. Fun Fact: He founded the House of El, so he is Clark’s ancestor. If we are talking about capital “G” God, we could say that He too is indirectly responsible since He also exists in DC and is the creator. He’s called The Presence though. 36:21 Because it’s basically torture for your senses. And who knows if ALL kryptonians can survive the process. Especially babies.

[@timstackii]

The father felt Clark would be at risk from what people and the government would do if they knew who and what Clark really was. He felt it so strongly that he was willing to give his life to protect Clark's secret.

"Can you just imagine if he didn't land in America?" Funny you say that, there's actually a story in the comics where that happened. It's called "Superman Red Son".

[@onenonlyethan2239]

To sum it up, the reason superman can fly is because earth’s gravitational force is light for kryptonians, which is why that giant machine over metropolis was lifting everything up then slamming it down so earth could have the same gravity as krypton

Man of steel is what he was called in the comics for a long time. Just how people described him.

I mean in the Superman: Animated Series Clark straight up tells Lois that he's Superman while typing away at the Daily Planet and she doesn't even believe him.

[@djfriedice7754]

The thing that should be pointed out is that Kryptonians only have to be in the close vicinity/proximity of a yellow sun (for example, being on Earth) for their genetics to become enhanced. Superman and any Kryptonian do not have to be in direct sunlight, just have to be close to the yellow sun. I remember that from reading the comics when I was a kid. I don't know why people are shocked that the Kryptonians are strong as Supermen (because they are the same species). This movie, and the recent animated movies, make the common mistake when Superman is not on Earth and in a different universe because the farther away he is from a yellow sun, the less powerful he is. Krypton has a red sun, which does not enhance their genetics. They are "normal" in the presence of a red sun.

The way that they measure the age of the ice is through carbon dating. Carbon dating is done by measuring the half life of I believe carbon 13, so by measuring the amount of carbon in the ice they can determine the age of the ice, or anything else.

Yes, your heart is actually in the center of your chest. However, the left side of the heart is the side that pushes the blood out and into the rest of your body, so it has a stronger beat than the right side. Because people could feel the left side of the heart beating, they thought that the heart was on the left, not in the middle of the chest. Unless people see something like the organs in the body shown, like in this movie, or study human anatomy, most people have no reason to learn where the heart is really located. Also, Mr. Kent does from a heart attack in most, if not all, other versions of the story.
