I bought that Black Panther toon since it was like 8 bucks on Amazon; I watched the first episode and really haven't felt the desire to watch the other 7.
Jor El was bad too. The movie was basically an Elseworlds where the concept was "what if all of Superman's fathers were assholes with murky characterization"
And also won't stop hen-pecking him and nagging him into following their plan for his life. I realize both those terms are generally anti-woman but honestly can't think of a non gendered equivalent this second.
I still want someone to cut together a trailer of Jor-El going "You can save them. You can save ALL of them" over footage of people falling to their deaths from the giant gravity beam and Superman snapping Zod's neck.

It ends with Superman doing an air christ into orbit
I really loved how Goyer said MoS Superman couldn't just fly Zod to the moon
Yet he was able to fly into orbit and what exactly would stop him from that point
everyone knows that storing villains on the moon is only a stop-gap solution at best. They always get released in ten thousand years or so and start making trouble again.

Smallville of all things nailed a protective Pa Kent in two minutes. This movie couldn't in twenty
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
- Have the Phantom Zone portal stay open just a little longer so Superman can toss Zod into it.
- Don't have Zod find the Kryptonian scout ship. Have Superman knock Zod unconscious and imprison him in a room in the ship.
- Have Zod develop a case of Kryptonite radiation poisoning over the course of the film on account of flying his ship through the debris field of Krypton.
If Zod was really supposed to be a sympathetic villain as ever interview with the cast and writers have stated, they should have actually redeemed him, have Superman convince him that earth can carry on the legacy of Krypton, then the other Kryptonians could mutiny, and then Zod can work together with Superman and eventually sacrifice himself to send the Kryptonians back to the Phantom Zone. That way, Zod could inspire Superman to see the good in everyone.
If they wanted Zod to be sympathetic, they could have had him just decide to rule the Earth as a new pantheon of Gods instead of going "Yeah, I'm going to just kill 7 billion people because it's slightly more convenient for us, and because superpowers are poopy."
So now that we're of course going to get a sequel to this, how do we expect PTSDman to deal with the constant barrage of hearing people die horribly with his Superhearing?
Zod 2.0, and then Batman has to kill him with a kryptonite gun is my guess.
The thing that annoys me about Man of Steel is that it's supposed to be the starting point for the DC Cinematic Universe (well, after we let them call mulligan on Green Lantern).
And when you fuck up Superman, that's a pretty shaky foundation to build your franchise on.
I also have absolutely no idea how they plan to make Batman vs. Superman work when there is no Kryptonite and Superman not only is willing to be lethal, but also has a pretty huge chip on his shoulder when it comes to people messing with or spying on him.
Though I fully expect Batman will hold his own in that scenario for some ridiculously dumb reason. Even in the comics, a well-written issue generally has Batman having to exploit every last advantage he has just to survive. And this is with a Batman who has a flying saucer and a secret Batcave on Pluto. I have no idea how a Batman immediately following the Nolan franchise with no teleporters or Kryptonite is going to do.
I kind of just want them to embrace the dark Superman they've made rather than have him "learn his lesson" about killing
Stick to your guns, ride this Superman out and see what you can do with him
They've already alienated a ton of the core fans, and it's not like they'd suddenly accept him, but they've made a different Superman and I really hope they decide to embrace it rather than caving to the whims of comic fans
But seeing as their current course of action got them over $500 million I'm confident they'll stay their course

I would love it if these turn out to be Justice Lords movies and the real heroes show up in like the third movie

They could have just made it so that the schism between Zod and Jor-El was created because Zod was the more cynical, and arguably practical, one who wanted to conquer the planet they arrive on but Jor-El was the more compassionate one who didn't want to save Krypton at the expense of another sentient species.
They could have set up the Krypton stuff much better. They could have said that the reason why Kryptonians haven't ventured out into the stars was because all their expeditions were destroyed (hinting at Brainiac). So they could have set up Zod as the one who was weary of what was out there and wanted to fill their escape ship full of weapons and soldiers so they can quickly conquer a more primitive species and establish a defense against the threat that destroyed their previous expeditions. Jor-El on the other hand, believed in the preservation of their principles and that if they stooped to that level then maybe they don't deserve to survive.

I mean, it won't, but I'd dig it
Goyer unzips his own skin to reveal Geoff Johns hiding inside.
"I FOOLED YOU ALL!" he screams, cackling madly while carving an S in his chest.

Would you accept a turn-around of the current Superman that keeps the events of MoS canon?
i'm agnostic about man of steel
you can tell me it exists, you could even show me proof, but i prefer to believe that three years ago zack snyder was accidentally smothered by a falling green screen
I've already been told to expect to view it as more of a documentary about people who are obsessive and read too much into things, rather than anything actually on The Shining
Even when people reach, I find fan theories about films to be fascinating stuff

...air?
but he could have easily taken a big breath and choked Zod out in space or something
Now, thowing Zod the fuck out of Metropolis. that I would have been happy to see.

Room 237 is on Netflix
The title card didn't even hit yet and already they're reaching so damn badly with their theories
