My thoughts on too much destruction in Man of Steel

MAN OF STEEL SPOILER ALERT
Exuse me if i have grammar mistakes, English is not my main language.

As you may alredy know, there are lots of Superman fans that complained about too much destruction in Man of Steel. And Superman killing Zod. And other people have replied these complaints saying that if a massively powerful alien is brought to earth to conquer it it's very normal for that to happen saying that it wouldn't be realistic if that didn't ocurred in the movie. And that superman had to kill Zod.

So the other day i was watching this documentary about superheroes and they started to talk about superman. They talked about how much he meant to the readers and the fact that when the first comic was released everybody was amazed by the content of it. "Wow, this guy is lifting up a car, i would also like to do it!" Something like that had never been done before. He was the first superhero. Sometimes in this world you never really know who is in charge or if you mean something to it, but when you were reading superman you always knew who was in charge. Plus he always won.

Here you have the parts where they mostly talk about superman (Part 2 and 3). They start talking about it in the minute 8:04 in Part 2. Watch them if you want.



So after understanding what means superman to the fans i kind of started to understand the complaints. For the people that say that Metropolis geting destroyed is normal and that if it wouldn't have gotten destroyed it wouldn't have been realistic, i have to say that you have to understand the fans because in the superman comics it doesn't have to be completely realistic because he always ends up winning and saving everyone. And when they go to see a superman movie, they don't go to see a city being destroyed, they go to see a hero saving everybody. Those arguments are not valid.

So with this, i don't mean that the movie was sh*t, i didn't like it, it didn't fit the character, blah, blah, blah... Because i enjoyed the movie a lot, i think it was an amazing film. What i mean is that that is not an argument. Superman always saves everybody and it doesn't have to be "realistic". So i understand the fans prefectly.

So now in the comment section you will say that i am a fanboy and a geek or something like: "Another fan who complains about the movies not being like the comics". First, i am a Marvelite and i actually don't have any DC comics. And second, i like the movie a lot and i didn't care about the destruction, i am just defending the fans and saying that i understand them. That's what i am doing. I actually don't really care about the destruction at all, what i am doing is negating the arguments defending Metropolis destruction. This is just for you to understand the true purpose of this article (i hope you did now).

And now, for the fans: I understand you (i don't know how many freaking times i have said that) but i you have to accept this other version of the character that is also very good. Superman has been lots of years being "unrealistic" and always saving everybody so it's okay if after all these years they do another version. And if you don't like it you can always watch the old cartoons or movies.

Thank you for reading.
