If I remember correctly, Superman killed Zod in the comics, too. I just assumed that was why it happened. I also thought that the city being leveled was because of a combination of Superman's inexperience in combat, Zod's forces' indifference towards property damage, and the superpowers both sides were endowed with. Aside from that, I also agree with you in that Man of Steel is awesome.
Once again, Superman from the comics, inexperienced or not, would have recognised his inexperience and moved the fight out of a populated area. Anyone with a bit of common sense should know that fighting in the centre of Metropolis is fucking dumb. Like I say, I loved all of it, but the fact this was Superman made these moments much less forgiveable than they would have elsewhere. Rookie Superman or not.

While I agree the property damage during the Zod fight was excessive, I don't understand why people are up in arms about it being Superman's fault. Watching it I got the impression Superman was trying to take the fight UPWARDS and eventually out of the city, but Zod had no intention of going anywhere and just kept bringing Superman down.
Like KRX said Superman was relatively inexperienced in combat, and while Zod wasn't quite so used to his powers he adapted much quicker and could fight someone on that level much easier.

The civilian thing I can forgive because of one variable: fear. I have been in situations where it would have been smarter if I made different decisions, but my panicking mind caused me to make less-intelligent decisions. I can see why some can't forgive it, but I can see it happening. Last edited by KRX; 07-29-2013 at 07:15 AM.. |

My problem is Superman in the comics always found a way. I know that is boring to a lot of people but the charm of Superman for me has been that whether rookie, or old and grey or somewhere in the middle, Superman would always find a way.
In the comics there was no way that Zod would have forced Superman to play his game, not at least until many other options would have been exhausted first. The whole rookie Superman argument is weak at best. I enjoyed the concept that Zod overpowered Superman though military experience but the results were lacking, for me, a Superman fan.

I know Superman has killed in the past but every death caused by Superman in this movie was forced, contrived and unnecessary.

This is probably one of the few times I can totally agree with you.

It's still better than his old orange and purple catsuit.
And Liefeld isn't involved this time so it's automatically better than the last New 52 Lobo. |
