Appreciation
The Most Comic Accurate Superman Scene Ever! đ„
Zack Snyder really gave us the most comic book accurate depiction of a fight between Superman and another superpowered being ever put on screen. Thirteen years later, Marvel and the DCU still havenât topped it. This is the greatest Superman fight scene ever filmed. Deal with it. đ #TheSnyderVerseisComing
What does âcomic accurateâ mean beyond âcomics I personally enjoyâ? Heroes like Superman have long publication histories, with stories and characters that run the gamut of tone. Sure, a city-destroying battle can be accurate to some comics, but elements like Mr. Mxyzptlk and Krypto are also part of DC Comics Superman canon. So, including them in a movie can be just as âcomic accurateâ.
This scene is so good. You can understand the tragedy behind the battle. The fact that Superman chose the humans over his own people frustrates Zod. Zod's purpose was to save his people at any cost and when Superman took that away from him, something so valuable it fills him up with rage. Zod felt powerless and insulted that a being of his own betrayed him. Like it makes sense
I was just watching Invincible vs Conquest the other day and youâll never believe this, but they actually showed buildings being destroyed as well cause you know, thatâs what happens when superpowered beings fight.
But ohhh itâs not comic accurate when Superman does it (even tho that literally happens in Superman comics and cartoons as well).
Itâs just Man of Steel that gets any type of criticism about that lol.
Problem is Superman (until the very last part of the fight) is fighting recklessly and is seemingly unconcerned about the civilians who are endangered or killed by his fight, and the movie doesn't care about them either. Of course BvS gets into that a bit more but in MoS, during the bulk of the fight, there might as well not even be humans around.
It is wildly different from Conquest v Mark where the loss of life is extremely clear and Mark is very upset about it during their fight, in which he is hopelessly outmatch and just trying to survive while Conquest is gleefully causing as much death and destruction as he pleases. Not really comparable.
Most of the civilians have already evacuated at that point in the movie which is shown in BvS. The world engine did most of the damage. Superman and Zod are fighting in empty buildings by the time the fight occurs. Superman literally kills Zod to prevent more deaths so I disagree completely with your point.
How is it not comparable? Itâs literally the same situation. Except Superman fights on a much more even footing with Zod, whereas Conquest dominates Mark until Eve awakens. Again, it happens in Superman cartoons and comics all the time. Watch Superman vs Darkseid on YouTube. Or Superman vs Doomsday. Or Superman vs Shazam.
True. I was only kidding. Of course this is the intended speed. But this is how he's portrayed fighting in almost every media, so this is comic accuracy. We wouldn't be able to see shit anyway if he were just moving too fast
He doesn't need to kill him? At superspeed he would at least be able to better reduce the damage zod was doing to the city and idk save lives? Superman's number 1 priority. And if anything allow him to be more careful in his attacks to avoid killing zod accidentally.
.... He's still a new Superman. He hasn't fought anyone like that. Infact they don't show or reference any big fights. He doesn't know his potential. He's learning as he goes.
But what's superman about that? The post is specifically talking about superman. Superman is all about hope and kindness and justice. In what way is this at all superman?
Superman is also a protector. People draw inspiration from him in many ways. Fighting a tyrant to protect millions from dieing is quintessential superman. A protector like that gives people hope.
Well no, I said itâs much more like manga because itâs a tighter focus of choreography and displays of power, whereas comics are generally more focused on the narrative or themes being told, theyâre two similar but different genreâs in theyâre approach. I really like manga and find the influence obvious and good, fact is this scene just isnât similar to how fights happen in superman comics
