MESSAGE TO MAN OF STEEL HATERS:SHUT UP HYPOCRITES

I'm so fed up with all the complaints about what I consider the greatest Superman movie ever. And here's why:

"It's too dark for Superman"

No, it's to dark for Richard Donner-style Superman. First of all, it's not darker. It's more serious. And yes, there IS a difference! Second, I'd ask if any of you have ever even picked up a comic, but I already know that Supes is a classic cast of what tvtropes.org calls "Complaining about Shows You Don't Watch". In other words, I can think of dozens of stories off the top of my head that are just as dark: "The Death of Superman", "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow", "Kingdom Come", "Red Son", the list goes on!

"Too much destruction"

Yeah, because "The Avengers" and the Transformers movies were so mild-mannered. Or that last Star Trek movie, where a giant fucking starship crashed into San Francisco, about 2x the damage from MoS. If anything, the Avengers are even more responsible for any collateral damage: they were fighting a bunch of "go down in one hit" kind of mooks. Superman was fighting guys with the same powers, plus military training. Plus, HEL-LOOOOOOOOOOO! Ever wonder if 90% of the people evacuated when they saw a giant fucking alien laser drill hovering over them!?

(Spoiler alert) "Superman killed Zod"

I know, right? How he mercilessly crushed his hand, then throws him into a chasm and shares a moment with Lois (who also had just killed someone) like nothi-...Oh, wait, that's "Superman II", the time nobody ever gave him crap about. This is the time where he was...well, it already says so right up there. There's a difference between killing to save lives and cold-blooded murder. Not only did Bats kill Rā's al Ghūl, he also tied a gargoyle to the Joker's leg and made him fall about 800 feet or so, and then there's how he shoved Harvey Dent off a building - hell that last one was literally the exact same situation that Superman was in!

EDIT: Not to mention when Iron Man killed a whole room full of thugs just because one of them broke a motherfucking Dora the Explorer watch. He literally told him he would be the first to die.

I know nobody likes Superman anymore, but give him a freaking chance! At least it's not "Superman Returns" (the one movie I hate more than "Iron Man 3").

I don't own. Rights to characters & films belong to DC comics.

Batman had no choice!" - Yeah? Neither did Superman. "Batman didn't mean to kill Harvey!" - An accidental kill is still a kill... and if he "didn't mean to", he could have just unarmed him. Enough with these stupid excuses to hate Man of Steel. -_-

@god_spawn@saren@razzatazz @SC hey guys this guy is a little angry.

Despite leaving caps lock on and dropping f-bombs, he makes some good points.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

Geez, dude. Calm down...

Yeah, but whatever points he made are thrown out the window, undermined by his hostility.

And this coming from someone who loved MoS

Embrace the pain!

Good points really

I saw it like this, Zod knew his fight against Supes wasn't going in his favor and he knew if he kept going he was probably going to lose so he forces Kal to make the ultimate decision-kill him. By doing this he is essentially "winning" since this is what Zod wants-to die a warriors to death and force Kal to do something he knows is wrong. Clearly he was shaken after he killed him, and I can almost guarantee you that this is going to be a plot device in the next movie-same goes for the building crushing and all the destruction that people were criticizing. In the next movie he's going to make a vow to never kill and will be a more gentler and more experienced Superman-just like the one most of us all know and love

His anger betrayed him and sealed his path to the dark side...

haven't we done this topic a million times already ?

Rage harder.

snydeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

So, "other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"

It almost seems like his account was made just for this thread

@fodigg: What do you expect from the internet? Proper typing etiquette?

Pfffffffttt hahahahahahaha!

No, once you see enough trolls you block out that stuff completely.

@extremis: I'm interrupting this otherwise pointless thread and using up what I believe to be my last post I'll be allowed for 24 hours to thank you for posting a Bowie gif.

Superman most definitely had a choice. Carrying zod away, blowing the family back, forcing zods face into the ground... He could've done a lot of stuff. I'm fine with him killing though, he was goyounging and inexperienced and has now learned a valuable lesson for the future. But saying he had no choice is silly. Plus, superman is generally a lighter character since he is supposed to inspire hope (that's what the s on his chest means) and this was dark for him. And Batman's situation was completely different. He didn't kill his master at all. Ra's is the one that out himself on the train that he couldn't stop. Now stop complaining, this has been done before and is almost a year old now.

oh look its one of these threads.....H

@_atomikill_: Good Good embrace the hate.

There have been about five hundred of these threads already, so I'm locking this for being a dupe.

And maybe you know...let people have their own opinions in the future?
