Zod Ending MOS

If you havent seen the movie dont read this, is spoiler alert.

Okay. I can see your point.

Well yeah, he made it pretty obvious that was the point.

Why is it so hard for people to understand this?

Why was this posted ? It was simply to vent on the concept of the ending with Zod or was it to actually explain to those who did not understand the ending ? I mean it seems to me that the majority at least on CV understood the point of the ending. So I guess the OP would probably be better off using this point on a Movie Critics site or something like that.

If the next movies doesn't show a change in the way Superman chooses to be a hero then I will probably never like this movie more than I do now. Which is just meh. It's good.

I think it was a major part of Superman's character development. I'm more than sure it will affect him in the sequel to come.

@deranged_midget: it isn't about the name superman its about the morals he was tought as an earthling (old American values). "Nobody has the right to kill. Not mxyzptlk, not you, not superman... Especially not superman!" -Superman

Well then, what was his rational alternative in this scenario? With the phantom drive technology gone, how could Superman now protect the billions on Earth from a bloodlusted and heartbroken General Zod?

I can dig it. It might have been a choice he made during the battle, when he decided he couldn't win (and that it wouldn't matter if he did) but I like it.

@k4tzm4n: there is no other way, superman did the right thing by Killing zod, sound good?

Just out of curiosity, what do you think brought Superman to this modern conclusion?

Well, duh.

@azura_thena: can you refrace the question?

I don't believe I've seen you give an overall opinion of the film yet. Yay/nay?

I am sorry, I thought it was fairly clear. That quote you posted, it was Superman's own words. My question to you is what do you think Superman went through in his life that made him adopt that specific moral stance?

@azura_thena: ok I get you now, um his old American judicial and spiritual belief, because let's be real, Christianity (or cath) where main beliefs of most Americans back then.

Yay out the nay. Yay, yay, yay.

At the same time, I understand the problems and I'm not gonna argue with someone if they hated it.

It's easily the most polarizing superhero movie I've ever seen.

I see what you are saying and that may have some influence. But to me, that is not the actual reason. I believe, based on the reading of his series and seeing how it effected him, it was the time that he actually killed Zod and his subordinates in the comics that gave him that code on the subject of killing. So essentially, he didn't truly develop the 'no killing' rule until after he killed 3 people (excluding when he killed Doomsday).

So...did anyone notice Superman's scream of remorse after it happened? No, just me? Alright?

If this fight would have continued, Zod would have killed Superman.

@sandman_:

I agree. Superman didn't have much choice at all, and he felt awful about it. If anything, that scene made Superman feel a bit more human and sympathetic. Even he isn't perfect.

I believe that was the whole point. People seem to overlook it or not accept it.

@azura_thena: ya, I guess you're right, my opinion was wrong. I forgot about superman #22

It's cool. I am happy to see that you are willing to accept new information and adjust your views. It seems like some here have a hard time seeing data that they don't like.

@azura_thena: well that's another reason I'm on the vine is to learn

I liked the ending, it was brutal and Zod indeed left him no choice.

People overlook Harvey Dent did the same thing, he let a coin decide if he should kill himself or dont, if he should kill Batman and Gordon or not.

And that Ras could had jump of the train and see if Batman would had save him, he decide to stay there and die.
