But the destruction isn't glossed over in Godzilla. It's well established that this is a mindless killing machine that kills millions. In MoS, Superman makes out with Lois Lane on top of corpses he indirectly helped create and someone asks Lois to a baseball game at the end of the movie as if nothing happened at all. Something tells me if this happened in real life, baseball would likely be the least of anybody's concern and most people would be shaking in fear underneath their table

b/c in the Avengers they actually tried to get people out of the battle zone and did their best to keep it contained to a small area of NYC.

I don't remember seeing dozens of skyscrapers being destroyed in that movie either. It wasn't anywhere in the ballpark, and I think it's totally feasible the casualties in the Avengers are merely in the 3 digit range, unlike MoS where they're at least in the 6 digit range. The Avengers did pretty damn good at damage control.

Too little too late. Superman already mocked the government that they can't track him, despite him being largely responsible for a near apocalypse and hundreds of thousands if not millions dead. It pretty much indicates Superman doesn't give a flying frick that his presence caused this. Superman in this story is a selfish douche.

It's so funny how some of you guys look at these things. Posted on 1/19/15 at 6:36 pm to abellsujr

Didn't Superman launch Zod into orbit? Why the frick did he take him back to Metropolis? Personally I'm thinking he just wanted to show off to as many people and news cameras as possible. Snyder turned Superman into a narcissistic douche.

I liked the movie but I never got why Superman was so broken up over killing Zod when the plan was to kill him and the other Kryptonians in the first place by sending them back to the Phantom Zone unprotected.

Even if they did topple a few skyscrapers, it's nothing compared to what Zod's weapon and then his fight with Superman did. But we never saw a skyscraper destroyed while we saw at least 4 or 5 dozen destroyed in MoS, and I'm going on the more liberal side of this.

quote:Putting them in the Phantom Zone and killing Zod by breaking his neck are two different animals because of the nature of the killing. The latter is brutal in nature and made people upset because they haven't seen Superman portrayed that way on screen before. I didn't have a problem with it personally and thought it created an emotional moment. Just my opinion.

It was also the most incompetent alien invasion I have ever seen portrayed on screen.
Loki's army consisted of aliens who just flew around the city waiting to be picked off by the heroes. It was pointless. Even more pointless was Loki's role in the whole invasion. For a guy in command of an army, he didn't really do too much commanding throughout the battle. When he wasn't getting his arse handed to him by the Hulk, he spent most of the battle either talking smack with Tony Stark or fighting an unwinnable battle with Thor.

Zod's was pretty incompetent too. Why invade the most famous city in the world and instead terraform the planet from 2 completely isolated places to where there's no chance anyone but Superman can get to them in time to stop them? Maybe have one of the ships by Antarctica and the other in Greenland? Seems like a better idea rather than just bringing attention to yourself by attacking Metropolis.

Zod at least posed a threat to mankind. He was a villain that was actually formidable. He also had a lieutenant who was equal in strength and superior in skill to Superman. Loki, while well-played by Tom Hiddleston, is one of the weakest and least threatening villains in this age of comic book films.

In fairness, at the time Zod was unaware that a) anybody had access to a mechanism to reopen the Phantom Zone and b) that Jor-El's AI was capable of infecting his ship and giving his son instructions on how to do it
If you're worried about people having the time to band against you, taking out one of the world's major cities first actually seems like a smart play.

If Darkseid ever shows up, it's over.
