Hi. I've been reading this thread for updates on MOS. I am not a comic book fan. Still, I love Superman. I think he is great. I wasn't around yet when early movies about him were shown. Nonetheless, I've seen some of Superman movies through vhs when I was a kid. I got pretty excited to have learned WB is doing a reboot. It excites me to see Superman's capabilities to actualize on screen given the technology we have in the present time. That would be just so awesome to imagine.
I created this account just to say my piece regarding the possibility of Superman killing Zod. I read that some comic book fans here are enraged by the thought of it. I believe it's because having Superman kill a villain is a severe departure from the Superman in the comic book. I am not sure if that's the reason. Again, I am not really a comic book fan. But from a perspective of a fellow from the mainstream audience, Superman's killing a villain won't make Superman less of a superhero. To me, that actually adds to the complexity of Superman's character. And I love that; it makes him more relatable, more relevant to us, the mainstream audience. That proves he also has flaws. That he also faces situations in which drastic decisions are made just as any of us does.
As part of the mainstream audience, I care most that this film should be action-packed and over-top in the same level as The Avengers or even better than that film. I want to be entertained more than anything else. Of course, the film has to have a decent story. It doesn't need to have the Oscar potential. If this film turns out to be a boring Superman film, I'd be very disappointed. But from what I can see and based on the early reactions, MOS would not disappoint, and I am happy about it.
Just saying my piece.
Then get lost
