How Man of Steel could have been better

Hi there. This is my first article and i live in a non-english country, so please dont bash my grammar. Thank you.

As a CBM fan, i loved Man of Steel and its one of the good movies i've seen in 2013, but when i checked reviews, most critics said that it'd be better this movie be closer to Reeve homage, while some said its destruction of metropolis and the way Zod and his gang destroyed a part of the city. In my opinion, some of their thoughts were true. However, the movie's origin in Krypton planet, the costume, and back stories were all great. I think MoS could have been even better movie despite these mixed thoughts, here are some issues that would make it better:

• A New Villain, not same old ones.

With this iconic character has about 6 live-action movies, there are two villains who appeared: Lex and Zod. I mean, why these two ? I love both of them, but its time for using a new villain that has yet to appear in big screen. In the movie, Micheal Shannon's role as General Zod was great, i loved the way he played, same with Faora. However, for the first movie of Superman, Zod with Faora, Jax-Ur and others were too much big and powerful as they fought against Kal-El, only one god-powered character. It'd be good if they were the villains of the first Justice League movie.

To the point about new villain, i guess there was one villain that could have battled Kal-El in his origin story, other none than: Parasite. I mean, Parasite isn't that famous villain and he'd be good to fight Superman for only one movie, and instead of Zod and dudes, Parasite would have gone to Earth and battled Superman, similar to how Iron Man brought Iron Monger for first movie instead of his famous arch enemy, the Mandarin. Because others, Metallo makes sense to appear in Batman/Superman for featuring Kryptonite, Brainiac is strong and he's good for JLA 2, and Doomsday would be good to be in third movie of MoS trilogy, where it features Death of Superman arc. It's shame that Snyder didnt choose Parasite.

• A fight in a different place, rather than blowing most of Metropolis

​One of the most issues of the movie was about that final act of the movie took place in the city, destroying nearly half of the city. For the first movie of a shared universe, it was too much damage to Metroplis was too big in DCCU, i mean, imagine in second movie where Lex and Metallo suits destroy a half of world and imagine Darkseid coming. At-least, if this fight would take place in desert or forest, it'd be better, with Parasite even bettter. I also know Zack wanted to add a different version of Kal-el, that he's real and he mentioned before he wanted to see the movie version of this character. He also said that he wanted to show everyone that Superman isnt all of Reeve and it'd be not funny nor fun, but that's too big for first movie of DCCU. Please make it smaller the 2nd movie, but a better quality movie so these critics wont crush another Zack's picture once again.

• Less Dark

If MoS would have been a little lighter, showing things like Superman saving somebody from a crash or doing a scene like Plane crash, it'd be better. Despite MoS showed the good origins and great relationship between Jonathan, Martha and Clark, the movie was too dark. I mean, i loved the dark version of Superman, but not too dark and some lighter scenes would make the movie better quality. 

• a friendship and a bit flirty between for Clark and Lois, and later make them together.

​One of the most important relationships of DC universe is between Kal-El and Lois Lane, and for a movie like MoS that spent 2 hours about telling the origins and the fact that Kryptonites are real aliens, forced these two lovely birds and even made them kiss each other. I mean, it was only a few days they met and they already kissed and got closer so much. I should admit Donner movies were better handling the relationship than Snyders. If this movie is about Superman Origins, then it has to be about himself mostly and have a balance in each supporting characters development. I dont want a forced Justice League, not even forced full of characters, i want Quality in character development.

• A post-credit scene that would make it link into next chapter

​I dont want to bring Marvel here a lot, but one of the best things that they did was introducing Nick Fury at the end of Iron Man, that small scene not only teased Avengers, but that movie was just the beginning of a bigger universe. Why didnt Snyder add a scene to this movie, and at-least feature Bruce Wayne cameo ?  In my opinion, with great easter eggs that MoS had, including Lexcorp, Wayne enterprises, and a nod-cameo to Darkseid and Tony Gallo, a post-credit scene would be great to feature a cameo from one of the DC's characters.


So, i listed that if MoS would do these things, MoS would be even better. What are your opinions here ? Share with us, thanks a lot for reading.
