Kal-El vs General Zod [PART 2] | Man of Steel

[@alexkim7006]

A lot of people are so focused on what they think Superman should be that they ignore what the neck-snapping scene was actually supposed to mean. The entire movie was set up telling how this alien is rejected at every moment of his life and feels like he doesn't belong, no matter how hard he tries to help people. Then, when he actually finds his own people, he is forced to choose between them or the humans, who have done nothing but push him around. Miraculously, he chooses to protect the humans, but at the cost of the Kryptonians' lives. With all the Kryptonians sucked to the Phantom Zone, Zodd is literally the last one of his kind, and yet again, Superman chooses to protect the humans. The neck-snapping is jarring and it's easy for us to judge Kal based on our preconceptions of what Superman is supposed to be. But if you just take the scene at face value, solely in the context of the movie, you can see why this scene was tragic. Superman screaming, "DON'T DO THIS! STOP! STOP!!" is not a forceful command. He's pleading with Zodd to stop because the last thing Kal-el wants is to kill the only other Kryptonian. People criticize the scream at the end too for being over-dramatic, but if you look at it this way, that scream makes perfect sense. He had to kill the last of his kind for people who never loved him all because of what, morality? That's a tough pill to swallow even for someone who is bulletproof and can fly.

syd bohne Bro when you said “Kal has no true home” 😓 😞 Wow. This was awesome to read. Brought up a lot of things that I didn’t think about. One of the reasons I love Spiderman 2 ( my favorite superhero movie), is the fact that he’s all alone. He gets fired from his job, slipping up in school, his aunt finds out Peter actually killed his uncle, Mary Jane hates him. He literally gives up being Spiderman to have a real life. Then he realizes he has to be Spiderman, no matter the sacrifice. Kal is actually in a worse situation, like you stated. People of earth hate him and want to control him, and the last of his true people, who he’s been searching for his whole life, want to destroy him. It’s heartbreaking. Amazing movie. Amazing analysis Syd 👏🏼

And the fact that he had to kill the last living being of Krypton other than himself, too. He lost the only chance he had to really learn what Krypton, it's culture, people, history, and even his own family were like. He may have chosen humanity, but that doesn't mean he doesn't still feel alone among them. He's still an orphan from an entirely different and unknown *PLANET* as well as culture, left with very little knowledge of his origins, compared to just about any human adult alive.

[@RichardRichyRickGillard]

The cry might just be an emotional release. He's not sad or angry, he's both and more because he finally vented out all his frustration with questioning his purpose and belonging. He is upset he practically killed Krypton and moved on from his roots in a destructive fight, but in the end hugging Lois reminds him he did so for humanity; for Earth; for his true home. Krypton had its chance. It's a lot to take in at once

That's exactly the reason I don't like this movie. Zod's death scene would have been perfect if Superman was actively trying to save people which makes his internal conflict better. Zod represents what people think of Superman, but he should be trying to prove that such omnipotence can be used for good. Zod being killed would be what seals it, but instead he fucks around killing thousands of people for the sake of the fight and the random family just seems like the most basic of tools for tension. immortal gods punching each other, killing innocents and then Superman saves a random family because he good and the other baddie.

@@iank3915 Grow up Kid. This movie is not like your fantasy world of cartoon first of all Zod just said that this humans he adopted he will kill them all. Yet here you are expecting that superman can just push who has expertise in combat with equal power of superman and superman just learned how to get use to his power. His trying to Stop Zod you idiot but Zod is too powerful to be stop by just punching he even pushed him in space you blind but Zod still push him into the city and the last part you expect Zod to just stop killing people by what you call justice he made a great decision kill Zod to stop this madness or restrain him by fighting you can see in the movie it's so obvious omy god Zod wanted to kill those people by his heat vision and superman was forced to kill him to stop his madness he can't just knock him up coz he always going up and continue his madness. Superman told him before he snap his neck that "zod STOP!" but zod just replied him "never" are you idiot? Which of that part you can't understand? Two person who has godlike power fight each other, the one who wants to destroy and wants to protect and you expect there will be no casualties? Are you crazy? Even hulk vs abomination there are lots of casualties on Avengers age of ultron there are lots of casualties on Sokovia. You always Blame superman for the destruction and deaths and yet you didn't even have the brain to recognize the true villain which is Zod who cause it all, he is the one destroying the buildings killing the people and you expect superman to just save or carry people while zod is aggressively punching him imagine kid he is carrying a person with him and Zod is punching him!

All that time superman is trying to stop him which you simple minded can't understand because you are more focus on action sequence.

[@deathstrike]

It's because General Zod was also once a dear friend of Kal El's father Jor El. Jor El begged Zod to see reason as well, that their world was dying and needed a savior not a warrior and that he just wanted his friend. It is tragic but it also proves an old addage that some warriors are so set in their ways they cannot see the greater good. Kryptonians were like humans once that is why Jor El chose Earth. A people that could grow and advance and become even more advanced and powerful than even Krypton itself once was.

What's interesting is Clark/Superman is watching as Zod throughout this entire fight is _quickly_ understanding and figuring out powers that took Clark years to master. I love that expression when Zod removes his armor, realizing he's stronger without it.

Zod's training prepared him for ground combat, not aerial combat so his training was useless. Then You have to consider that Clark is younger, faster, and stronger. It was never really a contest and Zod knew that. That's why he tried to destroy as many buildings as possible. So he could kill as many humans as possible

Because it has so many ridiculously stupid plot points. 1. the whole kryptonian act is so convoluted and silly. pregnancy is banned yet a famous scientist manages to hide his wife for the whole pregnancy? super duper skull with genetic code and it's just floating in some watery cavern? superman's mother peacefully waits for her death and is artfully consumed by ash and fire. 2. Zod is shot out to space as punishment... like what? is that standard procedure? is space full of frozen criminally condemned kryptonians? 3. superman isn't allowed to save his father. An old man got in, had the time to signal to clark not to come and then peacefully wait for his death and is artfully consumed by dust and wind. Clark could have walked in and got him out without ever revealing any super powers. (edit: and the fact that this guy who knows he has an invulnerable adoptive son, goes in regardless. If he thought he was going to be fine, then there is exactly 0 reason to not have clark do it because there's no way clark'd reveal any powers if old man kent could do it with his old human body). 4. All kryptonian outposts die out because krypton exploded...? so why would making another outpost on earth change anything, they literally say in the movie the outposts need krypton. They even took the terraforming machines from a dead planet that like earth, would fail without krypton for some reason. so on and so forth. It's visually engaging, but it's woefully lacking in substance and is full of contradictions. It's not a bad movie, but what I can't stand is the insanity of MoS/BvS/watchmen fans that feel compelled to strawman people who dislike those movies and praise things that are incredibly mundane. Simply put, MoS rings hollow and most people notice that. Putting jesus imagery and edgy lines loved by angsty teens makes a masterpiece not.

Kal El genuinely did not want to kill Zod. Dru Zod and Jor El were childhood friends and always dreamed of how to save Krypton. But unlike Jor El, Dru Zod was born and bred foremost a warrior. Jor El being part of the Thinking Guild (the greatest of the Guild) he sought a cure and peaceful solution to Krypton's destruction. He achieved the cure. Kal El was natural born for a reason. That was the cure for the Kryptonians being tied to Krypton and unable to leave it. But Dru Zod was unconvinced and accused Jor El of heresy. He formed the Sword of Rao after the Kryptonian Sun God Rao and attempted an overthrow, but was defeated by both Jor El and the Sapphire Guard. Thus leading to the events in the movie and the battle on Earth.

He was physically and mentally superior as a warrior, he managed to overcome the sensoric overload and he mastered the ability to fly in a matter of mere hours.

You mean because in Superman II: Superman looks around at the carnage he and Zod's fight is creating, and [correctly] runs away to avoid innocent collateral damage? Yeah, maybe this version of Superman should have thought of that...

@@KingAdrock420 if it was in his control to take the fight away from the city, he would have. But he's fighting someone just as strong as him, if not stronger and who was a military general in their planet. Also, in this situation Zod literally wanted to destroy the city and would not be fooled to leave the city.

[@georgeedwards8189]

Honestly, why are people hating on Superman killing Zod? When Zod says "Never" Without hesitation, Superman realizes that no matter how many times Zod is stopped or imprisoned, he will NEVER stop. He would not stop until all of Humanity is dead and Earth is destroyed. Superman made the right decision in my opinion. Only idiots who don't see a movie for it's storytelling, character development, and plot would see this as just a out of character move. You don't watch a movie just because of a character in the title, you watch it to see how the story goes, the development, the plot, not just seeing the characters and thinking their actions are not right.

good scene for zod, bad scene for superman cuz hes never known krypton as "his people"

[@SFox-if9id]

The thing that I'm always drawn to in this scene is not that Kal-el kills Zod..it's that Zod forces him to do it. Zod is the pinacle of what Kryptonian society created, a soldier raised to be a soldier from birth. He sees the futility of the fight, even if he wins there's no future for the Kryptonian race and therefore no future for him, but he can not stop, he can not surrender..so he puts Kal-el into an impossible situation, he forces Kal-el to kill him in combat. The portrayal is amazing on both sides.

You know I feel like a lot of people forget that Superman literally started being a superhero like, 15 minutes ago in his life. He literally just learned how to fly a few days ago, he doesn't know how to keep civilians safe in a battle. But in BvS he's learned from that and immediately took Doomsday to space when he saw how much destruction it caused. If you were in your first fight with god-like powers you're probably gonna cause some unwanted casualties tbh.

[@Syryu]

Exactly. Clark had an entire arc ahead of him. He just realized who he was, what he could do, and what his purpose was. After that he still needed to master the massive learning curve that being Earth's protector entailed. He wasn't going to get it 100% right on the first go round. But for some reason people wanted him to be perfect right off the bat.

@@lxl7481 its kinda common sense to not actively destroy buildings with hundreds of people still inside. Superman is throwing Zod into buildings and crashing him into the streets that are hugely populated with pedestrians and cars. Your argument that people are to stupid now to realize what writers are trying to do makes no sense either because if that were true the MCU wouldnt have made it or neither would Christopher Nolan who is widely regarded as one of the best screenwriters of the 21st century

[@parabellum2o999]

@Noah it's both ways, superman is directly responsible for the destruction of some buildings

[@parabellum2o999]

@Noah at 0:23 Kal pushes Zod through a construction site, at 0:54 Kal Drags Zods face across a building and at 1:52 Kal takes Zod into the train station where he threatens the family and ends up killing Zod. There are more examples in the first half of this fight, such as when Zod climbs a building to face Kal, Kal simply crashes into him head on destroying the building and completely demolishing it.

I just realized that Zod used tactile telekinesis to rip off his upper body armor.

Zod used it consciously to rip off his armor.
