^ Well in a way, Jor-El disrupting the genre pool lead to his death. :/
It looks appealing at first, but it always ends in blood, tears... And broken pelvises.
I'll take a crack at it.
This is the way it is because it's the way it is.
Not everything needs an explanation.
Because it's a movie, and that's what happens in movies?
Movie logic doesn't follow RL logic.
Movie logic. It doesn't have to make sense. It just happens.
Zod explained this to Jor-El in the scout ship. He doesn't want to have his people deal with the pain and difficulties of adjusting to Earth's atmosphere. It's very basic: Zod doesn't like pain, and he doesn't want to have to deal with it like Clark has had to his entire life.
They illustrate his willingness to share a little about himself with officials...and he uses them to point out pertinent things, like how long he's been around without infecting someone, or to point out that he's All-American. I mean, if you listen in the film, he spells it out for you.
Why would they have stayed with her, or brought her along? She was worthless to them, and their leader was in peril.
You don't like the explanation. Fine. It doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. Jor-El and Lara felt that they could not leave Krypton. This self-destructive behavior is why Krypton was destroyed in the first place. They bucked that trend for Kal-El, but they couldn't buck the trend for themselves.
Some of the stuff is over-thinking. Some of this is under-thinking. And some of it is just because you didn't like the choices characters made. That's ok. Not picking on you, just making an observation.
Can you believe it guys...in about 2 months from now, production will officially start and we'll likely get an "official" photo around that time.....unless Snyder and company want to actually let Batman and Wonder Woman's looks spoiled via spy photos first.
I hope the lex announcement comes before then. I need to know if he's in it.
I like spy photos. Following all the spy footage from Smallville and then the oil rig was some of the most fun I had in the lead up to MOS. That and the comic con live discussion as the footage was aired...
Which reminds me, did they ever release that?
He's in. And he's being played by Phoenix.
*living in a fantasyland*
So uhh, bit off topic but I just realised that the world engine they found but have been at least 20,000 years old. Wow, Imagine how quick one of the recent world engines would've terraformed earth?? (if they made them still)
Unfortunately, they haven't. However, there are a few pretty good fan-edits of the comic con trailer on Youtube.
Whether or not THIS film ends up being well received and successful, I'm pretty sure that the trailers leading up to this will be unbelievable.
To touch on the topic of krypton's scouts ship and why that project was abandoned, the U.S. is essentially doing the same with NASA, so it really isn't unheard of. I would like to get more history on krypton though. Maybe when Brainiac is a threat?
I hope the lex announcement comes before then. I need to know if he's in it.
Heck yes.
I actually re watched Trailer 3 the other day. Still think it's one of the best trailers i've ever seen. Makes me so emotional
Trailer 3 feels like MOS would be like if it were a traditionally told, but dramatic realism-based film with fantasy elements. The thing that all the trailers implied was that submitting to the military was a third act choice, after a lot of emotional build-up on Earth (which sounds better than what we got).
Really? The trailers implied he wasn't going to submit to the military until the third act of the film? How did you get that impression? Especially when trailers don't necessarily show everything in order.
