The best Snyder's movies by far.

Just because there exists a comic iteration doesn't mean it should be on screen. Realistically you can't put them all on screen so you should pick the best stories that were ever made and put them on screen exclusively. No one wants to see rainbow man or the wall even if they're comic book villains. They're shit. Same for this story. Superman is supposed to be the best of us. He's the boy scout. Sure there's a lot of Le ebil superman comics because writers wanted to be edgy and thought a good superman was boring. You guys will probably pull a comic of batman with a gun in his early days to try defend Batfleck. Sure he looked cool and yh he's technically Batman but it's a bad adaptation.

See, the problem is that you know nothing about the comics themselves or the old cartoons you liked so much.
Man of Steel is based both on the original Superman comics and the 80's reboots done by John Byrne, with some added stuff from Superman: Rebirth done by Mark Waid.
The Kents trying to keep Clark Kent's superpowers a secret until he is of age or Superman having anger problems comes from the original comics.
Even in the DCAU cartoons one of the major flaws Superman had was his anger issues.

And man, you liking the shitty DCAMU films shows what a shitty taste you have.

I've read that comic. How are you trying to compare hiding your powers until the time is right to letting kids die is a reasonable choice? That's the moral compass for Superman? No wonder he did dumb shit later on like destroy buildings with people in it. One or two mistakes with the character are fine and can be overlooked but the entire DCEU is just filled with bad writing. The only reasons people like Henry Cavill is because
>he's Henry Cavill
>only superman most people have ever seen
>the visuals were groundbreaking for their time
>he's Henry Cavill

If they tried write the characters even as decent as Marvel did, which still had many flaws, they would have had more success. Sorry but Fiege managed to make C list superheros like Iron Man into household names. The xmen are literally an afterthought now. Hopefully DC does it right the next time they reboot the universe but this is WB that we're talking about. Of course they'll frick it up.

I wouldn't mind Superman even turning evil if it was written in a way that was half decent. Red Son and the Injustice stories are actually some of my favourite Superman stories. But you have to have them as either elseworld stories or later on after showing superman as a good person for a few films at least.

>No wonder he did dumb shit later on like destroy buildings with people in it.
You mean the shit that used to happen in every big battle of Superman: The Animated Series and JL/JLU cartoons? We even have an episode of JLU where Captain Marvel/Shazam condem Superman for being myopic and reckless.

They could write that in and it could work but that's not what Snyder did. I honestly don't mind changes as long as they make sense or at least have decent writing. Btw just because it happened in a comic or adaptation in the past doesn't excuse it being done wrong in a different adaptation.

Aren't the MCU characters almost nothing like their comic counterparts and also unironically straight up killers? Iron Man in the first movie was murdering terrorists without giving a single frick.

You can adapt them as long as they're adapted in a good way. Sure there's a lot of mistakes in the MCU but the infinity saga overall was decent and probably the best multifilm comic book story we will ever get, not because it's the best we can do but the era of this being remotely possible has passed. Corporations like WB and Disney have to be leftist because of Blackrock's EDTA score.

Btw heroes can kill. Some of the best heroes in comic book history kill. Even justice league members like Hawkman are killers. Everyone doesn't have to have a no kill rule like batman and superman. They just have to be written right. They don't have to be the good guy, we love an anti hero here and there, we even like some villains more than the heroes.

In my opinion Superman should be the boy scout. If they later make him evil that change would mean more if there's some emotional investment and logical writing.

Even if they showed superman being reckless and then him learning to be better, and written well, it would have been a good arc.

The problem is snyder didn't do that. He just made Superman a dick and expected no one to say anything.

Btw the great litmus test for whether or not someone is a delusional Snyder fan is their take on The Army of the Dead. Anyone who thinks this film has any merit is genuinely lost.

Yh there's a few examples of him killing and they've almost always resulted in a crisis and a redemption arc like when he killed Zod in one of the comics and didn't return to earth for a bit. I wouldn't mind Superman killing on screen and showing his struggle with the act with a decently written redemption arc but that's not what Snyder did. He snapped Zod's neck but couldn't hold his head and turn it to the other direction? Stupid power scaling. But let's say he could only do it when he had his little emotional fit, why tf did he not just FLY AWAY HOLDING ZOD. It was just written badly. Same for Wonder woman in 1984 and her invisibility power. Yh it's in the comic bit it was written stupidly on screen.

That's the problem. You have to fricking go to a deep dive analysis and break it down for superman to even remotely sound redeemable. It's hidden under layers of nonsense because Snyder would rather force feed Jesus imagery and make superman look like a God amongst men. Btw where the frick is Clark Kent this whole time. I mean the awkward Clark Kent being a human and a good hearted red blooded American? Man of Steel is nothing more than brain dead cool action shots to basically everyone except snyder fans who have to dig to the bottom of the barrel to find anything to defend the shitty film.

>Superman literally destroyed some guy's truck for being a bit rude to a girl and him at a bar when he was drunk.
Are you really complaining about a cheeky reference to Action Comics #1?
>Btw he just kills the rebel and turns him into juice for no reason.
He doesn't. Superman in the movie right after that scene says he didn't kill anyone and Zack Snyder on Vero social media said he didn't.

Again using comic references as a shield to the shitty adaption is not a good defence. Superman as we now know him would never destroy a truck because some guy threw a beer at him.
>Noooo but this scene is supposed to refer to a comic, ignore how he's an insecure psycho
IDC what Snyder says, no human goes flying through several walls at insane speeds gettimg pushed by literally Superman and survives. Just because it wasn't explicitly seen on screen doesn't give you the liberty to claim the rebel somehow survived. Superman killed that guy and Snyder made it happen because he thought it looked cool. That's his biggest problem. He thinks looking cool is the only thing that matters. That's why all his films are dumb but I don't mind a dumb film if it's supposed to be a dumb film like 300 but this is Superman.

>According to you?
Everyone except diehard Snyderfans shits on the bad writing lmao. The fact you're hiding behind a comic to justify bad story is hilarious. Comics aren't infallible, especially the really old comics in which many changes occurred to create the characters we love today. But I guess by your logic anything that happens in the comics is fine. Superman can destroy people's property over a pint. What a great hero we have here. Absolute brainlet.

How is Superman a dick in MoS when he spending his entire life rescuing people. The reason he moves around so much from place to place is because he can't help himself and go on to rescue people using his powers revealing his powerlevels, thus forcing him to pick his shit and leave.

Not to mention that the only one Superman ever kill in MoS, BvS, and ZSJL is General Zod/Doomsday. He doesn't kill anyone else. He doesn't even kill Lex Luthor, who was basically ruining his life.

>Superman literally destroyed some guy's truck for being a bit rude to a girl and him at a bar when he was drunk.

He doesn't. Superman in the movie right after that scene says he didn't kill anyone and Zack Snyder on Vero social media said he didn't.

Reminder that Superman: The Animated Series ended with Superman being mind-controlled by Darkseid and conquering Earth for Apokopolis. This came back to bite him and the Justice League later on in Justice League/Justice League Unlimited when the government created Cadmus as a response of Superman betrayal.

That's a bit different than "maybe you should have let those kids drown on the bus".
Superman the movie dealt with Clark's anger, but his parents weren't buttholes and you could see the positive influence they had on him throughout the film.

No I don't. It comes down to execution, and when you have a director like Snyder who has a very shallow understanding of things that aren't illustrated, you end up with movies like man of steel and bvs.

Please shut the frick up. The movie tried really hard to be deep, but he's such a shit director that the drama he tries to portray turns into a comedy. I swear you snyder apologists are the most obnoxious sychophants.

As I’m sure he finds a host of other things.
