>Killing a genocidal maniac hellbent on murdering innocents is bad because... uhhh... because it just is, okay?
What is this mind virus called and how do we stop this insidious line of thinking? Killing evildoers is the highest form of nobility.

Cover his eyes. Fly off with him. Don't be a retarded family, that stands there for no reason and waits to get cut with laser eyes. Problem with this movie is, there are always so many more better options for what to do, and all the characters always pick the dumbest, for maximum edge.
>>
>>219051516
I have a better question. This space hitler just learned, that being on Earth gives him super powers, and its atmospher is big part of it. So he decides... to terraform the planet, and get rid of super power giving atmospher. Why is he so retarded?

Tell that to Zod's snapped neck
>>
>>219051670
He's been programmed since before birth to protect Krypton. So he's bound by everything in him to create a new Krypton to create. How did you miss that? It's the core of the main subtext of the film, Clark is Superman because he chooses, Zod isn't because he doesn't. It's Heidegger 102.
>>
>>219051767
You're retarded
With superpowers, it took one superpowered guy committed to stopping him to kill his ass
It would have been complete chaos trying to be the military ruler of a revived race of superhumans when any random one of them could outrun the bullets of your most advanced military weapons and crumple your most heavily armored sci-fi supertanks like a tin can

Do you think Superman could take Zod out of the city?
>>
>>219051516
I call it Passive Christian Syndrome. The mistaken belief that just killing has no place (except with the state) in a society built on Christian values. This is a psy-op intended to make Christians passive and permissive of sin and is a work of the devil. Christians are meant to draw a distinction between neighbor and invader, keeping their neighbor safe from the invader who wishes to subjugate or exploit them. This is loving your neighbor as commanded. It's not possible to love your neighbor by pretending everyone is your neighbor and don't have conflicting interests they're willing to hurt one another over. That's a false teaching and sits at the core of Passive Christian syndrome.

And then he makes out with Lois (whom he knew for like 5 hours?) on top of this mass grave he just created, like it's some triumphant moment.

Legitimately probably the worst line of dialogue I've ever seen be seriously written down. Leagues of magnitude worse than "Somehow Palpatine returned".
But thank god for the hilarity it spawned.
>>
>>219051744
>Cover his eyes. Fly off with him
OK, then what? There's a lot of things he could have done, but all of them are just steps on a logical path that leads to "snap Zod's neck". Zod can't be reasoned with, he can't be calmed down, there's no way to imprison him since they just used the only field generator thing to send the other guys to the phantom zone. Every minute that passes he's getting stronger, at some point he'll be as strong as Clark but with actual combat training, and presumably some genetic perks for that since he was designed for it, at which point humanity is doomed.

The "whole city" was never leveled and he didn't "kill millions". You guys should try watching the movie before talking about it.

>>219051986
Not to mention that by that point, Zod could no longer recreate Krypton. With the World Engine and his ship destroyed, he was completely devoid of purpose, devoid of what he considered to be his soul. He wanted only one thing - to die a warrior’s death, and he knew the only man who could give him one was Kal. Killing humans was his way of forcing Kal’s hand.

One question that I’ve always had was whether Zod’s imperative was truly genetic or if he simply believed it to be. Personally, I’ve always thought he was just a “believer,” a fanatic, because we saw courtesy of Jor and Lara that it was possible for Kryptonians to defy their “programming.” Zod even has a name for doing so, and it’s interesting that he would call it heresy. My personal take is that Kryptonian society had surrendered themselves to their own technology, that they’d come to worship it as enshrined in their Ai-driven population control and caste system. Under it, every Kryptonian knows their role in their society.

Superman had to kill him because, as many have said already in this thread, he couldn't control Zod and imprison him. And the city destruction was difficult to stop too because Zod could just return to the city each time.

Now I'm remembering a part where Superman tries to take Zod out of the city to minimize the damage in the city and lost of innocent lives but I don't know if it is from the old movie or this one.
>>
>>219057320
This was in Superman II. In MoS, he never even thought about it.

>Now I'm remembering a part where Superman tries to take Zod out of the city to minimize the damage in the city and lost of innocent lives but I don't know if it is from the old movie or this one.
Definitely not Man of Steel.
>>
>>219057375
They should have put a part where he tries that but he can't do it. But I still think it's difficult to do it.

In Superman II, was he able to take Zod out of the city?
>>
>>219056886
Free will.
Why don't you understand how God works if you're going to be a disingenuous faggot? It'd be a refreshing change of pace to be asked an original question.
>>
>>219057510
Yup. He took the fight to the Fortress of Solitude and was able to depower Zod, Non, and Ursa.
>>
>>219051767
he was bred to protect and restore Krypton. Probably above his paygrade to think about this
>>
>>219057647
OK now I remember. And how did he do it? Just flew there and Zod followed him?

Look, Snyder's not an awful director, but he sure as shit has no idea what most longtime Superman fans like or want from the character.

This goes both ways.

Because he's retarded. Of the three, saiyans, kryptonians, and viltrumites, kryptonians are the dumbest. By far.

I always figured that maybe Kryptonians were severely allergic to the yellow sun rays and needed genetic modification to not die horribly. I should watch this movie to find out if thats the case here, but otherwise, it makes no fucking sense for Kryptonians to be in danger of extinction if they can just move to a yellow sun system and be just fucking fine.

>>
>>219051516
I'm gonna be sincere for a moment and say that this moment actually works really well. Zod and crew were the only living connection Supe's had to his family on Krypton, and having seen his Earth father die earlier in the movie, he's essentially orphaning himself again by killing him. Not to mention the obvious savior complex he has, it makes a lot of sense and is not the moment the Snyderverse should be critisized for.

Lets be real here, until it was confirmed to be abnormally dangerous, there would be volunteers lining up around the entire fucking city.

And if it was never confirmed to be abnormally dangerous, Supes would thousands of kids a year.

This felt like a repack of another prior gay argument circa Dark of the Moon, where people determined it was Nazi because shit was destroyed and Optimus killed Sentinel, instead of letting him apologize, which ALSO felt like deja vu from Law Abiding Citizen, where you were literally the Unibomber if you were hoping the bomb was where it should've been

"A real neighbour would never do [insert random thing you don't like] so this proves they're an invader"

>>219060502
So any qualifiers are No True Scotsman? Wrong. The no true scotsman fallacy is a rejection of a counterexample without addressing the substance of the counterexample, simply refuting it by saying its not a real example. You're dumb.

>>219060739
He didn't say that though. But I'll tell you what, I'll fully concede if you tell me that to be an invader you have to invade someone else's sovereign territory, and everyone born in the same territory as you counts as a neighbour that you must love like Jesus said, regardless of their lifestyle or viewpoints.

He had no reason to think it would work. Zod had already told him exactly what he planned to do: kill every person that he can until Clark stops him. At one point, he arguably killed people *with* Clark when he slung him through those buildings. Zod had no intentions of following him anywhere.

It’s because superheroes are superheroes because they don’t do things the easy way. This concept didn’t solidify until after JFK said “we do these things not because they are easy but because they are hard.” Before that, “superheros” were just people with superhuman abilities beating up normal criminals.

So it's not the same scenario as in Superman II then. In Superman II Zod wanted only to kill Superman or at least he was his first objective. In Man of Steel Zod wanted to kill all humans possible until Superman stops him, as you said. Even if Superman had tried to take him out of the city, Zod would have come back to the city or keep killing any human he could elsewhere.
>>
>>219061051

The words mean nothing if you refuse to follow his message, as you clearly do. It's not a get out jail free card. You can't just say some words and think that that forgives you of all your sin. The devil would gladly say that christ is king if it would convince you to commit atrocities.

Clearly you’re just LARPing as a Christian. If you weren’t you’d know this:

>18 Yea, a man may say, “Thou hast faith, and I have works.” Show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works.
>19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well. The devils also believe — and tremble.
>20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
>James 2:18-20

This is you. You put caveats and limitations on what Christ commanded unconditionally.
>>
>>219061708
>>219061847
>illiterate fake christians trying to deflect

>>
>>219059447

>>
>>219061708
>you’re not a real christian if you won’t do what a want you to and a real christian would do that


We’re reaching true no true scotsman levels.
>>
>>219061243
You’re right. It ultimately doesn’t matter. I just think it does a disservice to Jor and Lara making them sort of Kryptonian supremacists.

>>

>>219062185
Not him, but unlike a Scotsman, being a Christian, a good one, does have some conditions. We’re all imperfect and we’re also not supposed to sit in judgment if others, but we’re absolutely within bounds rebuking someone making what are, in essence, heretical claims.
>>
>>219051908
All Zod wanted was to kill Clark. If Clark flew out of the city, Zod would have followed him. There are several moments during the fight where Zod is charging at Superman, and instead of flying away or just moving out of the way, Superman charges into Zod, creating a huge shockwave that destroys everything else around them. So yeah, if Superman wasn't such a retard in this movie, he could have lured Zod out of the city.
>>
>>219062131
>not saying Christ is King precludes you from Christianity

Killing is killing. If you would admit the reality - that you're a sad, angry dude with a tiny peen that gets stiff at the thought of people you don't like being murdered, that what you want is revenge by proxy - that would at least be honest, but you're not even capable of that minor virtue.
