Clark didn't rise to any challenge. He was the strongest person in the universe, and then used that advantage to win. He didn't outsmart the smarter man, he didn't out-strategize the better strategist. He didn't find victory in defeat (he killed a man he had down and in a headlock). He didn't find victory in a no-win situation. He did not have a strict moral code and then stick to it despite everything ad STILL win. He was the strongest guy in the room...and he killed his opponent with neck-breaking strength. I just don't see what is so inspiring about that. |

And BTW there actually was a deleted scene that showed Zod and the others being taken into custody by the "arctic police" so they weren't killed after all. |

The comics even stumbled around, Superman tortured women to get confessions! But eventually the comics figured out what the definitive Superman should be, and retconned the old stuff out. I understand that they recently have decided to embrace a darker Superman in preparation for this films release...but my point is that this just feels wrong for the character. EVERY OTHER character is like this...why can't the Big Blue Boy Scout actually be the shining example? |

How would a building falling and/or throwing Zod into a volcano kill him exactly?

I don't know. I'm just throwing some idea out there. I didn't think that superbeings could be killed by having their neck snapped either.

Well when it's another superhuman being doing it, yeah it's possible.

Part of the reason why Zod's death was so jarring is because he clearly WANTED to die...and Superman obliged with brute force.

The issue has always been about superman killing. "He's better than this, he's more moral than that..." You mean to tell this whole time it's actually been about the fashion he went about it? Please. So he can kill, just not in this particular fashion right?

I guess what I'm saying is they could have had Superman kill someone in a way that wouldn't have caused this much controversy. But controversy is obviously what they wanted. |

It was an interesting discussion. I had a few hypothetical ideas...

They wanted to make him cool who knew. Hey johnny? -Why does tony stark have a no killing rule? Oh right he doesn't. -Why does Wolverine have a no killing rule? Oh right he doesn't. -Why does Cap? Oh righ.... -Why does Batman? Cause his parents were murdered and he sore to protect life. He also came face to face with the murder and felt empty at the prospect of taking his life. Any fool can see this. -Why does superman have a no killing rule? Because his parents taught him better?

So if they killed off zod in a playful way with light hearted music playing and people smiling and cracking jokes like a marvel movie, or rather superman 2 then we wouldn't be having this discussion? if that's so I praise them for having the guts to give the scene and the matter the gravitas it deserved.

yea i thought so.
care to explain why that's objectively(if possible) better than this alternative? And how the change destroys the character(if you think it does).
