Man of Steel

[lafitz2008]

Thought it was a brilliant film, however 3 things stood out to me, which I'd rather they hadn't as they are failry trivial.

- howcome the ship that had his suit on was conviently sent 20,000 years earlier? Yes, the symbol means "hope" but wasn't it also the symbol of his family? I'm sure they all had different symbols?
- why does he have muscles? I'm no expert but I believe muscles grow through tearing and repairing? what did he use as weights to tear his invincible muscles?
- why were they hitting each other with steel girders? surely that's like me being pissed at someone and throwing a Quaver at them?

I have no idea why I thought of these things.

Interesting that you watched the film, but never absorbed the info ahead of your questions!

The ship? Merely a hint that Krypton was already way ahead of Earth's development which is why they mentioned 'scout ships' quite a lot!

The symbol is the family house crest. You saw different crests on the chest of other Kryptonians if you looked.

The muscles; Jor El already explained the impact of the different atmos to his wife before they sent Kal El off. As he is still humanoid, he can still train(and it doesn't have to be on screen) and the effects of muscle tear would be the same as his strength developed(just remember how he struggled with the oil rig at first).

And ffs, he's NOT invincible!! His mass is different due to the sun's radiation. Something of mass with the right/ equal exertion can still pound him/ knock him off his feet/ whatever you want to insert here.

That is all.

What I didnt get is how when he's on the boat at the start,somethings about to drop on him so some chunky fella dives at him to push him away and sends him flying.

You do realise they weren't serious questions that I wanted answers to?

Do super heros make you menstruate?

Not 'serious questions' yet you moaned about many points??

I only answered what had clearly annoyed you.

People are puzzled about some things. Chill your beans, amigo.

They didn't annoy me, I think everyone, well, most people, understand that for the majority of films you have to have suspend some sense of reality, particuarly with super hero films.

My intention wasn't to make you have a paddy, my apologies.

Not sure what small point you're trying to make, but...

Whatever, man.

 

[adrianr]

Well just seen it, nothing confusing about it whatsoever. It's completely understandable shite.

Raspberry Jam Man does.

I'm gonna call it "Super Meh". It was ok, good bits, could've been great.

 

[The Silver Surfer]

Director explains controversial ending

Good answer Imo.

Spoiler

In the original version of the script he just got zapped into the Phantom Zone. David [Goyer] and I had long talks about it, and [Christopher Nolan] and I talked long about it, and I really feel like we should kill Zod, and I really feel like Superman should kill him," Snyder tells Empire. "The why of it was for me - I go - if it's truly an origin story, his aversion to killing is unexplained, it's just in his DNA. I felt like we needed him to do something just like him putting on the glasses or going to the Daily Planet, or any of the other things that your sort of seeing for the first time that you realize becomes his sort of his thing. I felt like if we could find a way of making it impossible for him, you know 'kobayashi maru' - totally no way out - I felt like that could also make you go 'okay, this is the why of him not killing ever again.' He's basically obliterated his entire people and his culture, and he is responsible for it, and he's just like 'I can't. How could I kill ever again?'"

"I wanted to create this scenario where Superman is going to see those people get chopped in half, or he's got to do what he's go to do," he continues. "And I think Zod knows that. It's almost [suicide] in a way, it is, it's like death by cop, you know in a way. In my mind if Kal has the ability to kill him, then that's a noble way for him to die. It's like that whole 'good death is its own reward' concept in the movie. I think if there were more adventures for Superman to go on, you then are also given this other thing, where you don't know 100% what he is going to do. I think that when you really put in stone the concept that he won't kill, and it's totally in stone, it really erases an option in the viewer's mind. Now, I think that doesn't mean that he doesn't now have a code, that he is like 'okay I just can't don't do that, this has to be outside, I gotta find another way, that's how it is,' but again you will always have it in the back of your mind this little thing [of] how far can you push him. If he sees Lois get hurt, or if he sees his mother get killed, you just made a really mad Superman that we know is capable of some really horrible stuff when he wants to be. That's the thing that is cool about him, I think in some ways; the ideas that he has the frailties of a human, sort of emotionally, but you don't want to get the guy mad."
