Hello ComicBookMovie community! Hope you guys and gals have been doing great, anyways, enough with the small talk. Today I will be responding to some of the fanboy complaints for Man of Steel. well then, lets get started.
Why does the council send Zod to the phantom zone before the planet blows?
Well if you were familiar with the lore of Superman you would know that the council doesn’t believe Jor-El that the planet will blow. The way the council was in Man of Steel was the same. They didn’t believe the planet would blow, that’s why when the planet is blowing up Lara says Jor-El was right.
So they just had Superman’s suit ready 20,000 years ago?
In the novel of Man of Steel, there’s a part where Jor-El and Kal-El walk through a hallway of suits in the ship. It’s probably one of the scenes that were cut. I personally would have loved to see this scene. Imagine Kal-El and Jor-El just walking and they see the all the suits, one for male and other for females, maybe the female version of the house of El suit is missing.
How does Superman know he can fly?
He doesn’t, but he’s told to test his limits; and he tested his limit when it comes to jumping and it lead to flight.
How does Lois find out Superman’s identity so fast?
This is the dumbest one I’ve ever heard, but it was thrown around. Lois doesn’t find out the alien is Clark in a day. Lois, at the very least, spent a week or two tracking down events that were weird which leads her to the ihop guy who knew Clark personally, which then he points her to the Kent farm. Lois even said she knew if she turned enough stones she’d find him.
Jonathan Kent dies for a dog.
You fanboys are cruel human beings. “He dies for saving the dog? LAME!” Really? So let me get this straight, if that was your dog (or cat) in the car you wouldn’t go back for it? You’d just let it die because it’s an animal? I know I wouldn't. Well why couldn’t Clark go back for the dog? Because Jonathan Kent was scared that revealing Clark’s true nature would cause the world to go into chaos, and that the human race will come after Clark. That’s why he says in an earlier flashback, that when Clark reveals himself it’ll change everything. Religion, life, and what it means to be human.
Why did the Kryptonian’s take Lois Lane onto the ship?
It’s pretty obvious since they tell you in the movie why she was up there. They took the information they needed from her, since I’m sure Superman could have resisted their attempts to take info from him in a dream. Lois even says they “dissected” her brain.
Superman destroys Smallville and doesn’t care:
This is an outright lie. Okay so he destroys some barn house (I don’t know what it is), ruins some crops and crashes through a 7/11 gas station, but he does all this in a fit of rage from his mother being attacked. We all know an angry Superman doesn’t think clearly. Also it’s the Kryptonian’s who are throwing Superman all over the place and knocking planes from the sky, and it’s also the military who starts shooting and blowing everything up just to kill Superman, Faora, and the other big dude. Why didn’t he take him out of town you say? He tried, like three time, but Faora or the big dude kept bringing him down. So there goes that plan.
Why isn’t Superman in Metropolis saving people, but he’s half way around the world?
Seems like you weren’t paying attention to the movie; Superman is near the south Indian Ocean (I believe) to stop the world engine because it’s working in tandem with the Zod’s ship. “Oh but the military could have handled it” No they couldn’t, they couldn’t even handle the one in metropolis that didn’t attack back. The world engine had that squid tentacle defense system and the gravitational pull; we would have seen the army fail like they did in the first place. That’s a job for Superman! He can get across the world in less time, and he has the strength to pull it through. Also the world engine was the main source of the terra-forming, not Zod’s ship. That’s why the terra-forming stops when it’s destroyed.
Superman doesn’t save anyone:
I guess you missed the whole saving the people from the oil rig in the beginning, or the kids on the bus, or the military personnel in Smallville, or how about the whole world!
Superman doesn’t care about Metropolis:
Why and how? Last time I remember he saved Metropolis from being turned into complete rubble. Oh he was flying into buildings? Or maybe if you paid attention it was Zod throwing Superman all over the place, not to mention ALL of the buildings they collided with were empty. Seriously, you’d have to be an idiot to stay inside a building after watching all those buildings collapsing. Oh he should have taken Zod out of the city? So do you think Zod’ll just agree and say “Yeah, sure. I know this cool place in the desert, let’s go there”. No, Zod said he wanted to hurt Kal-El by killing every single human.
All of a sudden Superman cares about people?
Seems like the symbolism went way over your head. The family of four represents us humans, he’s not just trying to save them, but the rest of our species.
Superman doesn’t kill!
Tell me where this imaginary rule came from? Superman doesn’t want to kill, but if he has to he will do it. He’s killed before in the comics, and he’s taken risks that could have lead to death. Zod gave him an ultimatum: Krypton or Earth, and Superman choose us. Not to mention he asks Zod to stop and Zod responds with “Never”. Which by the way, sounded so evil and sadistic.
Well those are it. I hope you guys and gals enjoyed the read! Until next time CBM community!
