How that cameo was filmed (spoiler)
share
Yep, Cavill came back as Murder Man. Too bad Cavill has never played Superman, he might have been good. We'll never know for sure.
shareWhat?! He DID tho.
shareoh boy. People who never read the comic still mad that Superman killed Zod huh?
shareSame with Batman. People just watched The Dark Knight trilogy and have basically convinced themselves that Batman doesn't kill.
I love that trilogy but I feel like it has "brainwashed" people in a way. Forget about the comics, Batman killed a bunch of people in Tim Burton's Batman movies.
lmao truth.
Hell, Burton's Batman was arguably very unhinged. Just straight up murdered goons left and right, and smiled about it lol
I mean he killed his biggest nemesis in the first film.
People who complain about Batfleck haven't seen shit.
Keaton's Batman would wipe out his rogues gallery. He was a straight up G. 😂
What the hell was Supes gonna do with Zod in the world presented? There was no means to dipose of him. It's the one thing that goof ball film got right.
shareRight? Kryptonite wasn't discovered yet. The phantom zone was closed. And there was no prison that could hold him
Like there was literally no other option for Superman at that point. Zod would've straight up murdered every human in sight
Yeah, and the same people who condemn Cavill's Superman turn around and sing the praises of Christopher Reeve's, who killed Zod when he didn't have to. (Yes, yes I know there is footage of a deleted scene where the authorities show up and can be seen hauling away all three now-depowered Kryptonians in handcuffs. That scene was left on the cutting room floor. From what viewers saw on screen in 1980, Superman -- fully powered Superman -- crushed the hand of a now powerless Zod, then threw him a good twenty feet across the fortress of solitude and down a crevasse, where he and the other two Kryptonians presumably fell to their deaths. Given we don't see the three villains again, it's the only conclusion audiences could be expected to reach.
At least Cavill's Superman was literally without any other alternatives. And the arguments I've seen from people... SMDH. I remember one person who posted on a forum like this seriously ask "why couldn't he cover Zod's eyes?
What? Forever? What happens when he inevitably has to take his hands away? Zod's already stated his intent to kill every human being on the planet. He's powerful enough to do it, no prison on Earth can hold him, nobody knows about Kryptonite yet, he's seconds away from claiming his first human victims, I really don't get the problem people have with this.
This "real" heroes never kill ideal is stupid. It's also insulting to actual heroes in the real world, men like Alvin York and Audie Murphy and many, many more, or to take a recent example, Elisjsha Dicken who killed people because they had to to save other lives.
That's one reason I liked BA: kill the fucking baddies. Or they will be back at it sooner or later.
You didn't kill the baddie and 5 days later he comes back and kills dozens? It's on YOU buddy.
No other solution works: Zod was let alive, escaped and killed millions, tried to wipe all Earth.
And still there are idiots that cry about it?
