This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]454473[/split]
Zod appears to be coming to earth on a ship..
We don't know if there is a Phantom Zone in MOS..
People need to stop reading spoilers that could be fake..
I just did a lot of thinking on this issue and here are my two cents on it:
Having Superman kill Zod is brilliant.
No really, if it plays out as described, I think that's a great climax to this movie. Because think about it, this is a story of Kal-El trying to find his place in the world, where loneliness and isolation are key themes in the film, as he struggles to fit in with the rest of humanity. But then it turns out that there were actually survivors from Krypton and now Kal's entire world is turned upside down. He has to make a decision to either side with his people, or defend Earth. At the end he kills the only other (assuming the rest of Zod's henchmen are dead at the time) surviving Kryptonian, in order to save humanity who've sheltered him his whole life. The weight of that decision has got to be so overwhelming to him, it's indescribable.
I'm sorry but an ending like this fits so well with the theme of this movie. Some of you may not like it, and that's understandable, but I really think people need to give it a chance here. God forbid we see the guardian of humanity make extremely difficult decisions and express heavy emotions afterwards.
On another note, don't we have an "specific" thread for this very topic of killing or not killing when it comes to Superman?lol
If Superman does kill in this new movie, the GA is probably gonna love it. People are gonna say he's no longer a boy scout or he's not boring anymore etc.
Not endorising Superman killing per se, I’m a pacifist Supe fan wherever posssible, but if he did so, Lex could utilise the moment as one of his genuine fears, as you outline here. Apprehension about the future.If Superman kills Zod, what about the other Kryptonians??
clearly, they are a dangerous bunch, too.
why not just off them and be done with the threat??
in the future, Lex will ( most likely ) prove to be a dangerous foe. perhaps he too will be responsible for countless crimes and/or deaths.
why not snap his neck??
where do you draw the line?
It's kind of depressing to think at times that we live in a age where people look at "killing" to be cool and not boring.

It would depend on how it was executed, pardon the pun. We'll just have to see.
Yeah, it does sound pretty brutal. If this is true, I can only guess the events that lead up to it. If the Phantom Zone portal closes, and it's one on one with Zod, who is as mad as ever, and options become thin. Zod beaten down, but still refuses to come quietly. Superman wants the no killing ideology as much as anyone, and possibly achieved this with all the other Kryptonians, but "if you want to stop me you'll just have to kill me." Zod egging him on to be 'corrupted'. It happens with Doctor Who with The Master. The Doctor feels alone and wants The Master to settle down and learn from each other, but The Master always pushes the boundaries, much to The Doctor's sadness.Well given that people are saying that Superman supposedly "snaps" Zod's neck, that's pretty brutal to say the least.lol And it's not like they could pull the "it was an accident" thing like they did with Bruce and Harvey at the end of "TDK". Superman would have to deliberately have that "intent to kill" mindset in order for Zod's neck to be snapped.
^That blogger that said They've removed all sense from the character.Superman Killing world make somebody say that.
