General Zod Origins - This Genocidal Kryptonian Military General Is Superman's Most Vicious Enemy

[@seth9655]

_"I was bred to be a warrior, Kal. Trained my entire life, to master my senses. WHERE DID YOU TRAIN? ON A FARM!?"_

[@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access]

I’m not gonna lie if I had been Kal El after that I woulda had a moment of “shiiiiiit I don’t think I got this…”

[@kennyallison967]

Even after training, Zod still lost to Kal.

[@blackandwhitecats4243]

Zod underestimated the farmers life and what it does to you badly.

[@aceace7744]

Or all the dna of krypton

[@ChapterMasterADO]

Supes has plot armor by all logic he should she died.

[@PowuhToSeven]

A great villain is one that believes he's doing the right thing.

[@That80sGuy1972]

The best villains always believe they are doing the right thing, they are the heroes of their narratives. Zod perfectly falls into that, the dark Superman... an evil Superman who is actually superior to Superman. There is so much mind candy available in all ways in Zod vs. Superman that any number of stories can come of it.

[@eobardthawn6903]

@@That80sGuy1972 Always is an extremity I would avoid. Though, it nearly always makes the villian more grey, complex, and grounded like real humans.

[@cheeseburgerinparadise7124]

Kind of. A great villain has a purpose, yes. And, honestly, Zodiac could not change. His entire purpose was to protect Krypton... from birth. He was staying true to his purpose. For the Kryptonian race and their morals, he was in the right. We judge based off of our sense of morality, he judges based off of his.

[@dravenvandross8281]

General Zod definitely one of Superman's greatest enemies it was awesome seeing him in Man of steel but I would never forget Superman 2 hearing that awesome line kneel before zod those movies were phenomenal to watch.

[@johnlawful2272]

DC forgot his son

[@Auron1Roxas2]

It's really amazing how Zod was able to cause so much destruction in man of steel and somehow convince audiences that superman was responsible. Truly a devious villain.

[@MyDadsNotACellPhone]

Sounds like what the United States is doing in Ukraine, and blaming on Russia

[@HappyRoach1]

People believed it was Superman's fault because General Zod released that message over Earth's entire media, that Kal El was a fugitive from their planet. People resented Superman because they viewed it as some alien conflict that was fought on Earth, because Kal El was "hiding" on Earth like an illegal immigrant. Its like when immigrants from other nations who had conflicts in the old world and then come to the United States and engage in fights that get everybody else hurt. ' If it wasn't for Superman, General Zod would have exterminated all humans on Earth, and turned Earth into New Krypton.

[@damianstarks3338]

Yes yes and yes general zod is one of Superman’s greatest villains so nice to see a video of him on this channel !

[@theansweris4299]

Michael Shannon's general zod was freaking amazing I wish you could just make a standalone movie

[@bladecastlevania3653]

"Kneel before Zod!" I enjoy watching Terrance Stamp as General Zod in Superman 2.

[@ericokonkwo7771]

Imagine in Zod won and terraformed the Earth in Man of Steel, and then Darkside (Snyder Cut Version) along with his Army (Steppenwolf, Para Demons, and Di-Sold) invaded Earth looking for the Anti-Life Equation, interesting Encounter and Fight/Battle!

[@silverbloodborne9495]

the surviving Humans: oh shit not again

[@isaacclarke4229]

Terraforming Earth would have diminished ALE as well since it was inside the earth

[@jerodoverfield9635]

General Zod definitely was the greatest enemy of Superman, having all the same superpowers as Superman Plus military training great at hand to hand combat made him very hard to defeat maybe what Superman The Edge at the end was the very fact growing up throughout his whole life learning how to use those powers gave him a slight Edge Zod did learn how to use these Powers really fast over the other kryptonians that came with him where it took years for Superman to learn how to use these abilities he was in his early twenties when he finally figured out how to fly. Of course Clark Kent came as a baby and did not know that he was from another planet until his teenage years when he finally came across that Crystal in his space pod that brought him to Earth that Jonathan hid under the barn

[@jessicajujubean5004]

Until today I never realized that Superman is basically just Moses from outer space.

[@rolyngeorges7315]

General Dru-Zod is and always will be so fucking amazing and one of my top fav Superman Villains of all time.

[@juggaloclownpreacher]

The Phantom Zone is probably one of the worst prisons because the people in there don't really age at all so there is no real point in throwing somebody in a prison where they are essentially immortal.

[@isaacclarke4229]

People may say that Supes greatest adversaries are Darkseid and Doomsdsay but my favourite are Zod, Bizarro, Metallo and Cyborg Superman

[@ComposedSage75]

Another iconic Superman villain

[@georgecactusultimate848]

Zod one of the most underrated villains in dc history

[@TevyaSmolka]

general zod is such a great superman antagonist

[@HoustonIsImmortal]

Zod and Braniac are my two favorite Supes villians. They always come back for more.

[@alfonsopina3976]

Michael Shannon was The Perfect General Zod, He deserves More Love, More Attention in the DCEU/Snyderverse, and deserves to Win an Oscar Nomination for his performance as Zod

[@taraishot100]

I like general zod how superman defeated him and the other two that came with him is beyond me

[@anthonyedwards2024]

Shitty writing

[@reggie7716]

Jor-el infused the codex into superman before he sent him to Earth. Having the codex infused into his cells made superman more powerful than any other kryptonians, he was also on earth longer anf had more time to absorb yellow sun light.

[@FriendlyNeighborhoodGeek99]

Love general Zod such a cool villain

[@ivanbluecool]

I really wish gods and monsters Superman was able to meet zod and show him that he surpassed the blood zod gave him to be a true hero

[@johnjamesleahy4065]

Very good point and idea!

[@ivanbluecool]

@@johnjamesleahy4065 yeah but sad thing is that universe will never get more content. It would be incredible to see zod in shock that "his blood" is nothing like him. But oh well. Zod is cool as a villain more so than the other kyptoneuons

[@johnjamesleahy4065]

@@ivanbluecool definitely, it would have been cool just saying to have nic cage go against zod in superman lives, I know that wasn't their plan, but I like it, also I loved gods and monsters, I too wish they could explore that so much more, to me it's like a great what if story

[@ivanbluecool]

@@johnjamesleahy4065 yeah it was so cool and made villains look to be sympathetic. Brainiac was a child and the win was so sad to see. Amanda waller being president was actually cool like her later cadmas arc self who does great work I would have loved to see the more grey heroes work to be more white layered instead as the world knows they kill people

[@spartan113ish]

Zod is the Shadow to Superman's Sonic.

[@zinkman9519]

Why he hates Kryptonian scientist like Jor-el he's always seeing things from a scientific standpoint which really gets him angry

[@HappyRoach1]

Some critics who like to reduce Superman's villians to only Lex Luthor. They forget or don't know about General Zod, who's worse then Luthor.

[@nicholasmartins3030]

Zod needs more importance, I feel he should be Superman’s vegeta type of rival.

[@dc7981]

He kinda is but its more like doomsday and darkseid stole his spot

[@aidanhever3369]

He also appeared in Super Friends, Superman: TAS (under the name Jax-Ur), Justice League Action, and DC Superzero Bimbos.

[@ehrgeiz0]

Kal-El translated from Hebrew means Voice of God and his father's name Jor-El means All that God Is. Besides the Hebrew metaphor of being put in a lifeboat like Moses (actually lifted from the story of King Sargon of Akkad), there also a Christian metaphor of Superman going into seclusion from age 18 until he starts his "ministry" at age 33.

[@silverbloodborne9495]

general zod feel like in a injustice world superman use him as his general

[@geofff.3343]

Although I think Zack Snyder is not that great, he does have these frustratingly brilliant moments. Like Superman having to kill Zod to save humans. I know it's controversial because Superman doesn't kill, but I like it because it shows that Superman is not God. He is not omnipotent nor infallible. I wish more focus had been put on how Zod kept drawing the fight back to Metropolis to show that Superman was not in control of the fight, but in killing Zod it makes Superman mortal. He has to--like all of us--try to do the right thing and he fails, or doesn't find some golden option to get everything. It means Superman has to strive, and that's good characterization in my book.

[@eobardthawn6903]

Batman doesn't kill. Superman does just rarely unless he sees no other option. It's kinda like Goku( Supes came first but whatever) he would rather redeem who he's about to kill, though if their is no way he will kill you.

[@jasonmomoa9661]

All he had to do was fly up. He didn't HAVE to kill him 🤣💀

[@faith4657]

Oh yeah fly up like he doesn't have that power too or was struggling to keep him down.​@jasonmomoa9661

[@jackattacktron1000]

Terrance Stamp will always be Zod to me plus you can’t have Zod without Non and Ursa.

[@shainewhite2781]

Wait.....so while Superman was throwing hands with General Zod, the Martian Manhunter was just chillin catching the view?.

[@NetMoverSitan]

1:34 - No wonder he ended up a danger to others. | 3:10 - Ironically it saved him from being destroyed with the others. | 4:07 - Not the best version, as he didn't say THAT line, although that movie is part of the reason for Deadpool saying "So dark, you're sure you're not from the DC universe" in Deadpool 2...yeah, he and all those that agreed with the teachings of Francis Galton (including a certain failed art student) would have MUCH to talk about. | 6:38 - THAT'S the line! Those three simple words...that sum up his credo nicely, regardless of version. | 11:08 - The latest version of that line. | 12:21 - In between Injustice 1 and 2, he had his head ripped off by Amazo on Ra's Al Ghul's order...but not before killing the Tim Drake Robin.

[@nahuelbilliani734]

i do remember that version of zod that got stronger when exposed to red sun radiation, and got weaker under yellow sun radiation. Of course he was a kryptonite-mutated human and he always wore a suit that generated red solar radiation in his fights, but I found it interesting that he would manage to come up with a strategy that would force Superman to turn the yellow sun into a red one.

Tragic that Superman found his father. His people.where he was from. That he was not alone like he always thought. Then found out there were others like him. Then have to kill his own people and be the last Kryptonian all within 24 hours. That's why Superman cried after killing zod.
