Super Freak
Superman has the power and the ability to rule over the Earth, as Zod would. That he chooses not to, or does not do so, is what makes him so admirable. A "Superman," as it were.
I wish there would have been a moment where he acknowledges that he punches someone for the first time. That must have been quite a big deal for him after 30 years of holding it in
He just got KNOOOOOOOOCKED THE F - OUT HA HA Cool vid USER still need 2 see that one.
Great discussion, you guys. Reminds me why I really liked Man of Steel. There really is a lot of "there" there to deconstruct. Not the case for a lot of comic adaptation films. Too bad so many focus on the carnage and destruction of the last third of the movie or so. But to be fair, Snyder could have worked a little harder not to allow the focus to go there in the first place...

In context, it's the first of maybe a six act story when you count in BvS and all the Justice League movies that will feature the MOS.
For his grand stance on not harming anyone, there has to have been at least one instance of him trashing the joint. It happened in MOS, so we have seen it. I wouldn't be surprised if they pay some lip service to the situation like: "I once allowed my fight to harm others. I won't do that again. I can't". Or something similar.
Well it really wasn't Superman's fault the city got trashed, that giant terra farmer machine pretty much hammered the entire city.... Sure he had a throw down with Zod but the buildings were already thrashed.
True, but they pretty much tore down Plano, Illinois first (which is actually about a mile from my house) before the terra former was in play. Supes could have taken the whole show to Antarctica if he chose. But I like your take on It better. There wasn't a lot of time to think while being thrown around like a rag doll by the Kryptonians and trying to protect the people (not the buildings). And as I recall, when he first made the choice to hand himself over to Zod, there was at least a chance that he would spare Earth completely. By the time the terra former was brought up, the stage was set...
Still one of my favourite figures. I did the Neck mod (removed the shoulder pads) and added Tony Meis cape.

These are some damn good photos! What camera do you use?
Part of the problem with the third act was that they couldn't really hurt each other which doesn't seem to make sense to me. Shouldn't a punch from Zod leave a mark on supes face? That aspect made the whole thing feel like it was all for nothing. Another two problems were that because of the way they wrote it, earth kind of suffers because of supermans actual presence. Then, they kinda created a version of America with superman but you never really get an understanding of why the world needed superman. The story made it seem like they would have been much better off without him. Anyway I actually liked the movie.
The fact that the BvS suit is not too much of a difference from this means I could save some cash when HT releases the BvS version in the future
You need to look again. It's totally different.
