Cameo Appearances You Would Like to See in MOS

[Lily Adler]

Brainiac is the villain the world deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

You sir win the interwebz.

its a good post and funny . but the problem is that the whole world needs a superman movie with a new villain.

Zod is a big mistake.

At least Zod is somewhat proof that MOS wont be a standalone movie. Had it been that they would've gone for Brainiac or Darkseid.

 

[The Morningstar]

I don't think Zod is a mistake. He's arguably Supes most iconic villain, behind Lex. Now with todays technology we can see a full on Kryptonian battle, which under Snyder's direction, will be nothing short of ridiculously epic.

I'd like to see Brainiac in future movies though.

I agree, Zod is definitely not a mistake. In fact, having Braniac in the first movie probably WOULD be a mistake. You have to look at it from the general audience's point of view, not the comics/superman fans. Braniac is a sequel villain. Zod is a perfect set up for future alien threats and he is also perfect for expanding on Kryptonian mythology. Besides, it's not like we've seen a good Zod in the movies (don't mention that poorly written, disco outfit wearing, cheesy one liner throwing Zod of Superman II please) or seen him in more movie than one.

But saying that Zod is a BIG mistake, is just wrong.

 

[elgaz]

Zod has very obvious links to Krypton, the House of El, and as said above, Kryptonian mythology. He's the perfect villain for the first film, which will no doubt have elements of Clark's origins - they can weave the backstory and the antagonist's plot together and not make it look too obvious that they're filling us in on Clark's history.

 

[Rust]

Yep. As much as I would've liked to see a whole new villain introduced to the live action Superman-universe (re-)using Zod as the reboot's main antagonist makes perfect sense with their common history. Even more so if he murders Jor-El. Zod may even be the reason for Kal-El being sent to Earth.

Later they can reveal that BrainIAC was the real reason for Krypton's ultimate demise. He could be presented as a BORG-like entity now controlling whomever villain may survive MOS and thus reintroducing these characters.

Everyone that remembers Zod is going to see the movie anyway.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I guess I'd have an easier time accepting Zod in this movie if they had ever managed to make him an interesting character in the comics. The only version of Zod that I ever liked in the books was the Jim Lee/Brian Azzarello Zod, and they nixed that concept right after they introduced it, because he wasn't Terrance Stamp enough, I guess.

Samuel L. Jackson in the post credits saying: "You think you're the only superhero in the world?"

Superman: Nope. Just the first, b**ch!

Yeah, I'm hoping that the Brain Interactive Construct sets up the next movie.

If this board weren't dedicated to nitpicking the **** out of the Donner films, I'd be surprised at this, IMO, ridiculous statement...seeing as how Terrance Stamp is pretty much the only reason Zod is still relevant.

Who's nitpicking, im stating facts. Find me a more one dimensional villain if you can. Hard task. But of course that was a product of it's time and for the time it was good and it served the purpose. However, CBM's evolved, thankfully, and today that doesn't fly. Stamp's Zod's isn't as relevant as you'd like to think and it is remembered for all the wrong reasons. Basically for a cheesy one liner. People will forget all about it and indeed burry it underground when MOS comes out, just like they did with Nicholson's Joker. And Nicholson's Joker was a much more iconic and memorable performance (and better) than Stamp's Zod.

Still, explain how my statement is ridiculous. Zod was extremely poorly written in S2. He only had cheesy and ridiculous one liners. He wore a disco outfit, basically. Like I said, a product of its time and bless Stamp because I always liked him, he really did the best he could with that script and direction. But let's not pretend it's any good because it aint. Like I said, just you watch after MOS comes out and let's see if anyone still remembers Stamp's Zod a year after that.

 

[The Batman]

Who's nitpicking, im stating facts.

No...you are not.

 

[Prime]

No...you are not.

Heh, yes I am. Poorly written, cheesy, disco outfit. Not an opinion. But if you like to pretend otherwise feel free. Not my problem. Im done discussing this in this topic.

 

[The Batman]

SHH!: Where people never stop confusing their personal opinions for facts.

Speaking of Zod, It'd be nice to see some cameos from the likes of Jax Ur and other comic kryptonian criminals.

 

[Prime]

Oh im well aware of the difference. Just too bad there are people out there who don't realize facts actually do exist and not everything is an opinion. I know a dummy who says Lindsay Lohan is a better actress than Meryl Streep and when I say it's a fact she's not, I get the opinion defense. Heh, right. And yeah, Stamp's role sure was masterfully written, those few lines he has are Oscar material indeed, so deep and complex, man, genius stuff!

Aaaanyway, back to planet Earth, I'd like to see a Bruno Mannheim cameo or a mention of Intergang. Though I doubt they'd ever tie it in with Darkseid, I don't think WB has the balls to ever do Darkseid. Shame really.

 

[The Batman]

Oh im well aware of the difference.

No...you apparently don't.

The Earth has water on it. That is fact.

Lindsay Lohan being considered a better actor than Meryl Streep is opinion, no matter how bad an opinion it may be.

If everyone on planet earth gets this idea as muddled as you do, I'd rather be someplace else.

Yes I do, you apparently don't. But for the sake of the topic and good spirit of the forum Im not continuing this as we can go back and forth like this until the cows come home.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

How do you figure? It's an entirely new version of Zod; as is the case for Superman, Lois, Krypton, Metropolis etc.

A call sheet that leaked earlier apparently says Tar-An is in the movie. If Tar-An is in, Jax-Ur has to be.

Somehow, I think the cows would give me more sensible posts, so I'll be glad to end this "discussion".

LoL. When you lose an argument, resort to insults, eh? Well, welcome to my ignore list.
