[@johnburrell2597]

Russel Crowe’s line about “accomplishing wonders” was actually an excerpt from Grant Morrison’s “ All-Star Superman”.

[@Moon-xc2fd]

Regarding 14:30, that’s one of the arguments around this movie that’s always irritated me because almost every person who disliked this film always says something similar to that. “He could have just flown away with him!” But, what good would that have caused? Continue to fight and possibly endanger even more lives? Clark realized right then and there what exactly was at stake, and he had to put Zod down.

[@ejhida2410]

Kevin doesn't understand or it seems like wants to understand. The infinity Gauntlet could have been taken off by Dr Strange or other heroes in a myriad of ways. But who cares that movie is amazing but we can pick things apart (please this isn't an invitation for Marvel vs DC just pointing out that we can nitpick even great movies) of most movies. But this movie to many is the Definitive Superman movie (not saying there isn't a better interpretation out there in the future) and yet others just hold onto alot of these negatives that can be scrutinized towards most others but are ignored for whatever reason.

[@frodelindberg99]

ejhida2410 Exactly. Every movie can be picked apart. And this film (and also Batman v Superman) made me a fan of Superman.

[@nicktiznado8492]

It’s another one of Kev’s nitpicking bullshit

[@CraftedJedi66]

Very underrated movie imo.

[@TehMighty]

Man, you guys missed that they overlayed Christopher Reeves face onto Cavill's when hes flying up through the beam of the World Engine. Its honestly one of my favorite parts of the movie.

"Fun joke to play on your doctor." Damnit Nick that got me.

[@johnyboz]

Greg's excitement is amazing. It's your time Greg!!! "The planet collapses like when I put on a belt too tight." Hahahah. I love Kinda Funny so much.

[@cristianpemo]

The guy in Black has some points. But he missed the plot story. Clark present himself to the authorities because at that moment he hasn't decide who should be in the world. He just knew his heritage, his past, his World. Is not like in Donner movie, where Clark spent 12 year in the fortress and then he went out flying in suit. Thats the difference. MOS is a guy who a has to choose, who find him self. It is not about destiny. That is the topic that Jor El worked.

[@benwarren1697]

[@frodelindberg99]

Matthew Novak I love the DCEU too, especially Man of Steel and Batman v Superman (Ultimate Edition of course). And I can not wait to see Zack Snyder’s Justice League, as a send off to his Superman saga. Even if he had planned a 5-movie arc for him.

[@tylermettler1984]

Augmented Bruce Wayne I wish we would’ve gotten those 5 movies. After reading what justice league was going to be and the 2 movies that were gonna follow it up, this would’ve been something special. But at the time it was fun hating on dc. Now I just love these movies minus suicide squad that movie still sucks.

[@frodelindberg99]

Tyler Mettler They certainly would be pretty epic, I’m sure of it. But at least we’re pretty much going to get his first Justice League film out, and then we’re gonna fight to get the original Suicide Squad film from David Ayer as well, since the Theatrical Version suffered a similar fate as the Theatrical Version of Justice League. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut #ReleaseTheAyerCut

[@Twinsfan1992]

This is one of my favorite reviews you guys have done! Keep up the great work!

[@tristanmayer5373]

I think what is so beautiful about Superman's character in this movie is how we see Clark discovering his own identity. He gets multiple conflicting ideas from his role models in Jonathan, Jor-El, Martha, and Zod and ultimately has to form his own identity based on parts of but not all these ideas for himself. He chooses to be a hero for himself, not because of anyone who told him to be.

[@TomG1013]

I love Kinda Funny. Love ‘em to bits. But I can’t get over how hung up people are about Superman Killing Zod again. Zod died the first time around. First Superman crushed Zod’s hand bones to powder, because for all Intensive purposes, he was turned human. Then he got thrown against a wall and fell deep hole to his death.

[@gngnome]

How does a movie lack a b-plot because one character finding another "makes no sense" in the opinion of one panelist. It's explained that she used her personal experience of being rescued by Clark to find others with similar experiences. Clark had apparently performed a string of rescues over the years, going back to the school bus incident in Kansas.

[@MrOasis316]

[@johnr.hufstetleriii7715]

So been waiting for this. Let the DC reviews begin!!

[@ejhida2410]

Kevin might as well have sat out from this. Either his comments don't make much sense or he's completely unengaged. Nick sorry man but it's been proven that he's has killed before. He's not a freaking vigilante killing everyone but he always does what he thinks is right and in that moment it made sense to get rid of Zod. You can't fly him up and knock him out, he's a warlord God with superpowers and no jail can container him. It can be argued that him killing Zod actually is good writing as it's lazy and expected that oh he traps him in the Phantom Zone and everything is perfectly fine.

[@RashonJonson]

That was a fantastic opening!

[@RumbleBee1102]

The best part of in-review is Nick not knowing what the hell he is talking about, but acting like he's right

[@OMAR-vq3yb]

He said "We didn't need the moment when his Mom said make the world smaller" which was such a beautiful scene. Nick wants corny scenes with Clark winking at Lois when he saves her.

[@littleleafers]

One thing I always liked about Man of Steel is the destruction of the city because so much in comic book movies and sometimes in comics they completely evacuate a city, which really wouldn't happen. If 2 God like beings started fighting outta nowhere there would be tons of casualties.

Nick wants Superman to always be an extrovert, this Superman being an introvert honestly for me makes him more relatable to me. Why would he be this outgoing charismatic guy when it's established that he's being picked on by his peers and isolated by his parents? He isn't allowed to play sports and in a midwestern town that basically makes you a pariah already. Love the reviews they're great to go back to after rewatching a movie.

I personally LOVE Man of Steel. I think its the most underrated and misunderstood comic book film of all time. MOST (not all but MOST) of the complaints are based on people's predetermined expectations as to what they expect from Superman and what they expect from Superman isn't the comics ... but rather Christopher Reeves. Doing a new take on an Iconic character will come with people who can't understand there are many versions of these characters. And yes ... #releasethesnydercut

I am so sick and tired of that stupid argument about Superman's killing of Zod. I am so sick and tired of certain DC fans pretending that this was something new. It wasn't. Superman had killed Zod in "Superman II" after de-powering the latter, breaking Zod's hand and shoving him off a frozen ledge . . . while smiling. In "Man of Steel", Superman was forced to kill Zod in order to protect a family and many are acting as if Snyder had committed sacrilege. I'm also getting tired about the complaints over downtown Metropolis' destruction. The Kryptonians' World Engine ship caused most of the destruction, not the Superman/Zod fight.
