because going bald sucks

Muh gritty realism.

Because Zach is edgy

But when I look around me I see vibrant colors, not washed out ones.

because real life isnt isnt that bright and colorful unless you have autism.

restored color looks like someone just saturated the fuck out of it. what a joke

Color is haraam

Marvel movies suffer from the same problem, just look how grey Civil War was

>implying all black & white movies are depressing.

We have a kinonnoisseur of the future being molded right here atm.

You guys are fucking delusional.

have you ever been outside? last time i checked the sky doesn't glow purple

Yuck the "Restored" pics don't look Kino at all

that instagram filter really enhances the cinematic experience.

Try seeing a sunset sometime.

The 'restored' version looks retarded.

Also the guy who made that restored version is a massive faggot that thinks he's done gods work. Truth is, it's a shitty movie and an even shittier color restoration.

Because there is nothing more depressing than being able to save people while wearing a colorful costume. It gets even worse when they start building statues of you and start to worship you. And don't forget the terrible feeling of saving the planet and inspiring people to do good.

it's day time in the film.

Welp.

Does restoring the color remove the scene where he commits genocide against his own race with his heat vision?

Kryptonians reproduce asexually. Rather than just stop the Krypto-forming engines Zod was using gratuitously at the cost of all native Earth life just so Kryptonian babies could live in the open air without having to deal with some headaches (even though this was obviously not the only way), Superman deliberately destroys the last remaining system for the production of a new generation of Kryptonians.

Superman's all about being a moral paragon, but nobody involved in Man of Steel had a strong moral compass. They really didn't understand what "good" is, to be able to show Superman as an example of how to be good when you have the power to choose.

All they could show us was that he was on our side. He chose humans over Kryptonians. In this version, the death of the Kryptonian race and isolation of Kal'El isn't part of Superman's tragic backstory, it was something he brought about willingly.

This is Superman written by moral relativists. Zod's not some self-serving dictator, conflict between intelligent species is simply inevitable, with extinction of one or the other being the only possible resolution, and "good" just means taking our side.

On top of that, Superman's life on Earth is painful, rather than joyous. He has simply learned to deal with it. And half the population still hates and fears him for his race, even after he committed genocide against the rest of it for them.

This is a stupidly fucking bleak take on Superman.

Humans had done nothing wrong. Zod literally wanted to commit real genocide that wasn't even necessary against a race he doesn't even know because he was still butthurt about jor-el

supermans only option was to either intervene or stand back and let zod kill an entire race to bring back his own which technically already had it's chance but destroyed themselves.

this is because zod would give him no alternative, because he was unable to listen to reason. zods downfall was no ones fault but his own.

Oh my god, user, it's not about killing Zod. That's not even a blip on the moral radar. By any reasonable interpretation of, Superman had already killed dozens of innocent people through casual disregard of collateral damage. Having him agonize over killing Zod just seemed bizarre at that point.

Superman literally committed genocide against his own species in this film. This was not necessary to stop Zod, and he didn't even stop to think about it. He basically shrugged, said "YOLO", and destroyed the ship containing the last Kryptonian cloning device.

I mean, his fucking dad had even loaded him up with Kryptonian genetic records so he could reboot the race on another planet. That's why Zod needed him. Hell, it's why Zod had a reason to come to Earth at all. Jor'El made that trouble for Earth by sending his son there.

This isn't original comic book Superman, an ordinary child of an exceptional scientist whose parents had just tried to save him out of basic parental love, who became important through his abilities and decision to use them in service of good. This is Chosen One Superman of Destiny, loaded with the means of continuing his race, who was the Key To Everything and was important whether he liked it or not, whether he did anything or not.

what was he supposed to do? zod was controlling the ship and was about to fuck shit up. he obviously didn't want to doom krypton but what choice did zod give him?

lol comic book superman isn't original comic book superman either, stop acting like these movies are many degrees off of the superman tradition when at most you can say they're slightly off


at most you can say oh what if during the fight there was some shots that focused on clark reacting to what's happening but that's it

>at most you can say oh what if during the fight there was some shots that focused on clark reacting to what's happening but that's it

he actually does this as well, when he's about to blow up the ship he stops and hesitates but then continues and states "krypton had it's chance"

and he's right krypton did have it's chance but blew it by no ones fault but their own, it was already extinct superman couldn't commit genocide against a race that had already wiped itself out

and they could have probably talked it out and worked on a solution that doesn't result in genocide but nope zod had to act like edgy lunatic. why would superman even want to bring back a race of insane assholes like that?

>Superman is literally genocidal
>at most you can say they're slightly off

First of all, Superman isn't the kind of character who you write into situations where there's no right answer, and he's just picking the lesser of two terrible evils. Batman, sure. Superman, no.

This is how you do a "terrible dilemma" right, from the first Spider-Man:
youtube.com/watch?v=3S2PqhtCO1E
The villain makes Spider-Man choose between letting some innocent children die (who he doesn't know), and letting his girlfriend die. He finds a way to save both.

You don't write a Superman script that centers around Lois Lane getting cancer, and Superman not being able to do anything about it, and have him just be sad and watch her get sick and go to her funeral and be depressed, with the fact that he's Superman just kind of a background detail. With different people that could be a good story for the right audience, but it's not a Superman story. It's not within the theme of the character. Putting him in that situation doesn't make a good film, so you don't make that film.

But worse than choosing to put him in the situation of choosing between the Kryptonian race and the human race, they didn't actually write it so it was clear that there was no third option, or even that he was bothered by the terrible compromise he made. He agonizes over killing Zod, one individual violent madman who had taken many innocent lives and tried to wipe out a whole planet, but he terminates his own species without hesitation, with kind of an off-handed "fuck you" to Zod.

It's lazy, like writing the Kryptonians as experienced spacefarers, who had visited Earth and left a huge ship there in ancient times. Kryptonians who are good at space travel wouldn't be wiped out by losing their home planet. They wouldn't launch their criminals into space, away from the doomed home planet, as a punishment.

The writing was just garbage.

Great. Now it looks like Everything is Illuminated

>there's no third option, so it's a bad movie
>lazy, because writing the fight being taken to pluto where superman gets a way out is the 'better' option

you can't be serious


and clark in no way terminates his own species, at all. whenever he talks about zod before shit goes does he expresses concern over whether or not zod can peacefully live on earth, he obviously doesn't want to. the military acts out of self defense, and clark just does what he can to help eventually being forced to carry the team


this laziness can be applied everywhere, the only people who sort of escape it are the people who make oneshots where they get to commit to their story

I want a hero. Someone I can look up to and aspire to be. I want a Superman.

>why would superman even want to bring back a race of insane assholes like that?
>his own race
>...which banished Zod and these other criminals with him
They didn't show that the Kryptonian race deserved death. Kryptonians in general seemed pretty decent, certainly no worse than humans. Zod was basically Krypton's Hitler (in the sense of Krypton being Earth, not Krypton being Nazi Germany).

"Kryptonians are horrible assholes, and Kal'el is the one exception who's actually a good guy." is not a theme of Superman, and they weren't consistent on this point. It's a theme of Invincible, which is a good story, but a very different one. Invincible has to fight his own dad, when he goes into global conquest mode, then he ends up fighting the majority of his own Viltrumite race as major antagonists.

In Superman, the destruction of Krypton has generally been a terrible tragedy, and the universe is poorer for the loss of the Kryptonians. Superman is an example of the good in Kryptonians, and if he could restore them, he certainly would. It's just beyond his power.

Man of Steel has a foot in each camp, and it doesn't work. It's just jumbled and contradictory. The destruction of Krypton is a tragedy, and Jor'el by all appearances wished to pass to his son the means to revive the Kryptonian species, and Jor'el was a good guy, but as soon as Zod shows up, it's like the only options are to go with his view of wiping out humanity to make a new Krypton or go to the polar opposite and wipe out Kryptonians.

If they were going to be fully consistent with that theme, Man of Steel probably should have ended with Superman committing suicide.

Ok Sup Forums, who would pick to write a Superman movie that would habe more optimism and less tornado killing dads?

Is this a trailer out for this trash?

>and clark in no way terminates his own species, at all.
So you're saying you didn't watch the movie.
youtube.com/watch?v=FWo_FOKHgVE

I wonder how it would have looked if the world was under the filter, but Superman was filmed normally.

Because you're living in the cynical generation where kiddies think things like color and being a good person are considered lame or cheesy.

I can't imagine who else, other than one of the editors of this franchise, can be making these "restored color" images. Can't you just respect the decissions of your supervisor? Can you stop acting like a little brat? This is not just yours world. We have to share it you know.

holy shit this looks fucking garbage

and you're saying that you have no ability to accurately interpret what is in front of you

where is the genocide? where is the death of mass number of kryptonians you're referring to?

oh you're going to say the embryonic sacs, the ones that are explicitly shown as empty, but don't worry i know you're still going to continue to twist 'krypton had its chance' around to be something it isn't

>where is the genocide? where is the death of mass number of kryptonians you're referring to?
Genocide isn't about killing a large number of individuals, it's about wiping out a race. You don't have to kill a single individual to commit genocide. For instance, sterilizing every member of a race would be genocide.

That's what Clark does: he destroys the last means of reproduction of the Kryptonian species, bringing it to an end. Now he's the last Kryptonian. When he dies, there will never be another one.

That's genocide. It's a crime on another level, beyond killing any number of mortal individuals. It's snuffing out a form of life for all eternity.

Grant Morrison

I can't even tell which posts in hourly DC threads are trolls anymore, but I feel compelled to respond either way. If Supes didn't stop them, they were gonna fuck Earth up and kill billions of people - all in the name of restoring a dead gay planet in order to rebuild it's society in a way that reflects their incredibly-genocidal mindset. Now I ask you, which race is Clark going to feel a lot more obligated to help? The one that took him in as an orphan and he's had the most exposure to? Or the one he just met within hours that tells him they plan to fuck his foster planet up? Think long and hard about this, because your inability to empathize with the destruction of our planet in order to kickstart a repopulation project that will probably take a millenia or two indicates severe autism

blame zod nigga

are you out of your mind?? if tomorrow the maori were wiped out for whatever reason, and a week later the last remaining maori gets dropped for engaging in mass violence no one would scream genocide

and clark isn't "snuffing out" anything anyway, he literally has the genetic payload of his whole species within his body, how the fuck can you claim genocide in the face of these facts?

furthermore, the scene isn't about genocide and neither is the movie. the choice between krypton and earth isn't between species but between ideologies. 'krypton had its chance' the planet already fucked up, it's already gone, what obligation does clark have to let zod start the whole thing anew at the expense of a presently thriving species, again, to bring back something that's already gone.

there is no crime here

>If Supes didn't stop them,
I'm going to stop you right there, because you're posing a false dichotomy: let Zod have his way completely and accept the loss of all native Earth life, or do the absolute polar opposite and wipe out Zod's species.

Clark didn't even look for a way to stop Zod AND save the species.

When Zod tells him destroying the ship would be genocide, he doesn't go after Zod, he destroys the ship. He's fully capable of killing Zod. In fact, he does it later.

The film treats killing a clearly dangerous mass murderer as a tough moral compromise, fighting with reckless violence in a populated area with no regard for collateral damage as faultless as long as you're fighting someone bad, and terminating one's own species as downright laudable. It's all upside-down and backwards.

>Clark didn't even look for a way to stop Zod AND save the species
The only way he's pulling this one off is through some form of rape, you're not even sensibly-trolling now

>restoring the people of Krypton
>therefore the problems that killed Kryptonian civilization will reoccur

Yeah, that's an assumption.

If you have no problem wiping an entire species out and building your new society on the corpse of their planet, you're not exactly shattering old Kryptonian stereotypes

>a week later the last remaining maori gets dropped for engaging in mass violence
THIS IS NOT ABOUT KILLING ZOD, YOU FUCKING RETARD.

The Kryptonian species, as it was established at the start of the film, doesn't reproduce sexually. Being down to a few individuals isn't a big deal for the race as long as they have a functioning cloning apparatus and their genetic code. Their full genetic diversity is intact and they can get their numbers back up as fast as they can raise children, with no long-term problems.

>he literally has the genetic payload of his whole species within his body
Zod pulls it out of him, and puts it into their cloning vat thing, which Clark later destroys. That's why they took him to their ship: to get the codes out of him. There's no suggestion that they're still in him, and it seems in general to have followed Hollywood data logic where transferring rather than making a copy is the default. When it's transferred into Clark, it's gone from where Jor'el got it, and this is a plot point, because Zod's mad that it's missing.

They emphasized these facts. It was never disputed that Zod could fully restore Kryptonian civilization. Zod's only given objection to peaceful coexistence with native Earth life was the discomfort Kryptonians would suffer from living on Earth, like that Clark grew up with.

MORE SATURATION

>real life doesn't have colors unless you have autism
do you have any vision impairment or just stupid

>THIS IS NOT ABOUT KILLING ZOD
it is, you're trying to twist it to be genocidal is complete bullshit
the fact that zod himself resorts to killing off life on a planet takes away any validity to what you're saying. clark isn't trying to kill krypton or stop kryptonians, his goal is simply to stop zod from killing everyone who's already on the fucking planet

no zod doesn't pull it out of him.
the scientist discovers that the codex is within clark's cells to which zod asks if they him alive. after that they activate the terraform and the plan to take clark by any means necessary
if someone lived in a house that house got blown up by consequence of their own actions, would you be okay with that person coming to your house and wanting to kill everyone so that they could live in that house? of course not, stop trying to twist this as something else

Where is it shown that Zod and co. still have any of those machines active and/or working

Edge

Pretty much

Otto Binder

>you're trying to twist it to be genocidal is complete bullshit
No it isn't. At about 1 hour and 48 minutes in, Zod seizes the old Kryptonian colony ship, containing a genesis chamber, which Jor'el was sending Kal'el to with the genetic codex. The codex is only useful with a genesis chamber, they must be brought together for new Kryptonians to be born. At about 1 hour and 56 minutes in, Clark crashes in through the wall of the ship and destroys it, with the last genesis chamber in existence.

Clark has already destroyed the World Engine, stopping the immediate disaster and drastically reducing the threat Zod poses to Earth. Zod and Clark are alone on the ship together, and his presence has already distracted Zod from attacking the aircraft carrying the Phantom Zone weapon. Zod, of course, would hardly need the ship to take down a mere human-built aircraft.

Zod informs Clark of the genocidal consequences of destroying the ship, and Clark accepts them. We see a scene focusing on the genesis chamber being destroyed in the crash.

Then we have a ridiculously contrived scene of Faora flying to the aircraft, in her armor that lets her fight Superman on an even footing, and just kind of hangs around strutting and posing for a full minute while its occupants activate the Phantom Zone device, and it flies to its target: the main Kryptonian ship. Instead of just tearing it in half in the same second she impacts on it. Because everyone in this movie has to be a complete fucking idiot so the plot can stay on its rails without the writers having to think things through.

>no zod doesn't pull it out of him.
Alright, I was wrong about that. I hadn't watched it in a long time, and it's misrecorded in the wikipedia page, "His science officer, Jax-Ur, extracts Clark's genes so that he can create Kryptonian colonists". Regardless, the loss of the genesis chamber means the extinction of the Kryptonian species.

...

...

The world he's thrown into is depressing.
It's our world, but he'll help us fix it.

no shit, we don't deserve him

>Zod informs Clark of the genocidal consequences of destroying the ship,
THERE ARE NO GENOCIDAL CONSEQUENCES IN DESTROYING AN INANIMATE OBJECT
clark committed absolutely no acts of genocide, if you had said that he didn't think about the immediate consequences of bringing down the ship and the destruction it would cause, i would understand that

and the kryptonian species is not extinct, i already told you that since clark himself is the means for a rebirth of the species there is no extinction

you can't kill what is already dead, and clark can't commit genocide on a species that is already gone

Wow, that's a load of horseshit.

Man of Steel doesn't depict Superman in a realistic world and thoughtfully examine what would happen. Rather, it's one of the most contrived stories ever told, full of stupid people being thoughtless and absurd to cause scenes to happen on schedule.

When Zod and his buddies go to the Kent farm, Superman not only grabs Zod and drags him from the empty countryside into the middle of Smallville, destroying several buildings, setting a gas station on fire, and likely killing several people just in that initial flight, before proceeding to brawl in his childhood hometown without making attempt to move it to a less populated area, he also leaves his mother behind, alone with Zod's soldiers who had been roughing her up for information. This after he stands idle and watches his adoptive father die a death he could have prevented almost without effort, for reasons that make no sense whatsoever.

Man of Steel is depressing because they only choose certain moments for Superman to pose as if he were concerned with morals and human life. We're told, not shown, that he's a good person, a claim which his actions contradict repeatedly. He's left unpunished more because he's too strong for any earthly authority to punish than because he doesn't deserve it, and out of a contrived necessity.

On top of that, being a young Superman discovering his powers isn't depicted as being joyous, but traumatic. His life isn't a bountiful gift he wants to share with the world. His existence on Earth is painful. He struggles with constant sensory overload. That's not "more realistic" in any way, it's simply unpleasant.

It doesn't show the real world, and it certainly doesn't show Superman as he is in the comics brought into the real world.

>THERE ARE NO GENOCIDAL CONSEQUENCES IN DESTROYING AN INANIMATE OBJECT
So if you destroy a dam, you're just committing property destruction, and aren't a murderer when the flood kills people?

He destroyed the last means of reproduction for the Kryptonian species. That's genocide.

>clark himself is the means for a rebirth of the species
Not without a genesis chamber. Do you seriously not get that? Jor'el sent him, with the codex, to a location which already had a genesis chamber. He can't do anything with the codex without it. You figure he's going to recreate Kryptonian science and technology on his own?

>the kryptonian species is not extinct
>you can't kill what is already dead, and clark can't commit genocide on a species that is already gone
Okay, I can see I'm dealing with someone who is not at all concerned with self-consistency.

>He destroyed the last means of reproduction for the Kryptonian species. That's genocide.
No the race is already dead, He prevented them from cloning new bodies.
Regardless.
Had he not brought down the scout ship, Zod could have re aimed and shot down the Military Plane removing the last chance to take out the Black Zero leaving its kryptonian crew free to ravage the earth by hand.

>So if you destroy a dam, you're just committing property destruction, and aren't a murderer when the flood kills people?
that analogy would fit if the clark's actions *resulted* in genocide,

none of clark's actions result in genocide, absolutely none

that's why my analogy was more apt
if your house burns down with all of your extended family in it, and you are partially responsible, should i let you kill my family and take my house so that you can rebuild your life?

consistency..... are you kidding me....
okay fine, if we admit that the species is not extinct because clark himself still lives, then there's no genocide
if we admit that the species was already gone then there is still no genocide since they are already gone

>Had he not brought down the scout ship, Zod could have re aimed and shot down the Military Plane removing the last chance to take out the Black Zero
Had Zod ignored Clark and jumped at the plane, he could have knocked it down without the scout ship. He gave Clark a good fight shortly after that.

Had Clark gone for the plane instead of the scout ship, he could have snatched the Phantom Zone device and carried it to the Black Zero at supersonic speed.

Had Clark simply gone after Zod, he'd be too occupied fighting Clark to target the plane.

Had Faora just smashed the plane, or kicked the Phantom Zone device out the back, instead of strutting around, smirking, and turning her back, it wouldn't have reached its target.

Had anyone on the Black Zero just shot the plane, or flown it back up into space when the World Engine was destroyed and there was no reason for them to be hanging around down there anymore, there wouldn't be any fucking issue with it being reached by Earth weapons.

Had the Kryptonians scattered from the Black Zero with whatever weapons they could carry, they could never have all been sent to the Phantom Zone at once.

Clark is fucking Superman. He could have smashed the Black Zero the same way he did the World Engine and killed them all like he did Zod.

There was nothing about the situation that forced Clark to destroy the genesis chamber, and no particular reason for this approach to have worked. It's more like he just did it as a fuck-you to Zod, and a hearty YOLO to the long-term implications.

now this is autism

>if your house burns down with all of your extended family in it, and you are partially responsible, should i let you kill my family and take my house so that you can rebuild your life?
Stopping Zod and destroying the genesis chamber are two entirely separate things.

Stop for a second and imagine if it had worked out a little differently. Faora did turn the plane aside, so Clark uses super-breath to blow it, Lois and all, at the Black Zero. It all works out the same, except Lois becomes collateral damage.

And let's say, not only does he do this, but someone stops him, tells him, "Stop! Lois is on there! You'll kill her!" and he only pauses long enough to say, "She knew what she was getting into!" or "She had her chance to stay out of it!" before doing it.

Or even, let's just say the events with the plane worked out the same way. Lois was only saved by a wacky deus ex machina and a special effort by Superman to save this one human life, after all the others he disregarded. Let's say Zod was up and facing Superman, and he sees Lois fall: "Aren't you going to help your friend? She just saved you having to fight the rest of us, you know." "She made her bed!" ...and he just turns his back and starts punching Zod as she falls to her death.

Wouldn't you be able to separate killing Lois from stopping Zod? Wouldn't you think, "Hey, shouldn't he have tried harder to keep her alive? Shouldn't he have cared more?"

In Man of Steel, Jor'el wasn't just saving his son, he was saving his species. Unlike Zod, he intended for the Kryptonian race to be reborn in a way not only compatible with Earth life, but beneficial to it. The genesis chamber was part of his plan. "My name's Clark now and you're not my real dad! Fuck your stupid space machine! YOLO!"

>now this is autism
>implying user knows how it feels to be autistic.

i seriuosly hope Sup Forums isn't that retarded.

black and white movies look aesthetically pleasing because the focus of the photography is just in the values. no way a hollywood tent-pole film in 2016 is released in b&w, but unsaturated colors is a pretty smart compromise

you're pulling shit out of your ass man, completely disregarding the context of every event and what happens before and after, while putting together arbitrary hypotheticals as if they mean something while completely disregarding characterization

lois was saved out of pure chance anyway, as has been the case every single time.

>genocide against his own race.

You know that none of those baby pods contained any live babies right? They still needed the DNA shit from inside him. Saying he killed any of them is like saying not having sex with a woman and inpregnating her is murder, you fucking idiot.

>completely disregarding the context of every event and what happens before and after
Are you kidding me? You have to disregard everything up to that point in the film to consider Clark's destruction of the genesis chamber anything other than a willful, gratuitous, and flippant termination of his own species. They lavish attention on the reproductive processes of the Kryptonians and their centrality to Jor'el's plan for his son's and his race's future.

There's nothing about that scene, its context, or the events before and after, which can be used to make a good case that it was unavoidable.

>It's not genocide if you only sterilize a race so it has no future!
Learn what "genocide" means: Genocide isn't killing a lot of people, it's destroying a race. Populations can recover from the loss of mortal individuals, even large numbers of people, sometimes even from the loss of a majority. But the complete and final loss of reproductive potential means that a race which could have sustained itself for aeons into the future ends with the death of its remaining members, and that's far more tragic than the untimely death of any number of individual persons, who were all going to die sooner or later anyway.

you're off on the meaning of genocide and on the meaning of sterilization, really, i don't know where you're pulling this shit from. zod still has his fucking genitals, clark's actions clearly show the audience that he's just trying to stop zod, while having the understanding of what zod really wants. you're off on all counts

the dichotomy between krypton and earth is set up as a dichotomy between individual liberty and choice and a caste society, not between species


and your whole point is rendered mute since BvS showed the genesis chamber to be usable anyway. even furthermore what zod wanted was to remake KRYPTON, what he mourns is the inability to remake KRYPTON not the inability to propogate the species, as he and his crew very well could have without having to terraform the earth

First and last response.

If Zod and the other Kryptonians hadn't survived by a fluke, hijacked the scout ship, and chose to embark on a legitimate genocide campaign, Clark would have had access to the scout ship's genesis chamber and ample time to consider what legacy he thought Krypton should have. That didn't happen and Clark had to make a snap decision, but had he never chosen to use Kryptonian tech to resurrect his extinct species and culture, he'd be no more guilty of genocide than your mental gymnastics are attempting to make him.

Jor-El intended his son to forge his own future and make his own choices, up to and including how he chose to memorialize Krypton's culture and people, and that doesn't even take into account what the meta human strain within humanity could imply, especially in light of the fact that 18,000 years in the past, a Kryptonian survivor appears to have lived among the human population.
