RBA Starblade posted:You know, if Kryptonians don't need to breathe why do Zod and the others even have space helmets? The Kryptonians wore those helmets as a sort of sensory deprivation, because they're hearing and vision would get all super sensitive now that they're on Earth. Hence the scene where Superman breaks off Zod's helmet and Zod can't cope for a while.

It's been a while since I've seen MoS, I thought they had them while looking at the dead colonies too.

I can't remember. Maybe Kryptonians are able to "breathe" in space after being exposed to yellow suns? Most Superman media is never consistent with Superman needing a suit for space travel.

Most Superman media is never consistent with Superman needing a suit for space travel. That's how I took it. And that their spacesuits shield them from the sun's radiation, at least mostly. Faora and the big guy get superpowers despite wearing the suit but it's a plot point that they are all normal back on their ship while Superman is not. The suits are there to create the same conditions as on their ship, they just aren't 100% radiation proof.

It's a hilarious phenomenon that exists in legacy comicbooks where modern writers tie the characters all up in knots explaining how some dumb aspect of their character that has been the butt of everyone's jokes for decades is actually totally explainable and cool and sensible, they just never explained it before because of **reasons** There was a story in the 70s about how young Clark Kent made himself some glasses from some fragments of Kryptonian glass from the crashed craft that carried him to Earth and he's been wearing them ever since as part of his human disguise. Decades later he discovers that he's had passive hypnotic powers all along and Kryptonian glass actually amplifies the effect, therefore everyone has been seeing Clark as a weak and not so handsome older dude (which is how he unconsciously willed them to perceive him) instead of an embodiment of physical perfection wearing silly gag glasses. It's pretty much  the plot device.

IIRC they immediately blow this to pieces by making him a television nightly news anchor.

Hence the scene where Superman breaks off Zod's helmet and Zod can't cope for a while. I thought it was part of their elitist assholeness. Wearing the suits not because they had to, but because they didn't want to get dirtied by any of that inferior Earth atmosphere. They didn't seem to even know how the sensory amplification would even affect them until their helmet goop shield is actually breached. It's the same type of thing as them insisting on terraforming Earth to be exactly like Krypton, killing all humans. When they could have just flown around as nigh invulnerable gods instead. Krypton is Best, all things must be Krypton. No questions. As for Superman breathing in space, yellow sunlight is just straight up magic medical miracle when it hits a Kryptonian. poo poo even brings them back from the dead, which is foreshadowing for when he comes back in Justice League.

They knew what the atmosphere would do, that wasn't the point. The point was that they didn't give a poo poo about Earth's atmosphere, they just wanted it to be like Krypton. They don't want to be GodKings- they want to be Kryptonians because being anything else goes against their hardwired coding. So even though it gave them an inherent disadvantage, they cut themselves off from Earth and only took whatever beneficial powers the sun gave them. Zod only broke through that after he lost everything.

Burkion posted:They knew what the atmosphere would do, that wasn't the point. They kept saying it was hardwired into them, but part of the point of Man of Steel is that we aren't actually genetically locked into beliefs or actions. Being the result of some good old fashioned loving and having the full genetic code of his people imbued into him isn't what makes Kal-El a good dude. What makes Kal-El a good dude is that he learns from the salt of the Earth Kents and then synthesizes those beliefs with Jor-El's philosophy. We choose who we are.

And then people would bitch that the Superman robot used a sword.

The worst one is the Mammoth because that in no way looks like a Mammoth. All of them are dumb for one reason or three, but the Mammoth is just inexcusable.

Snyder is just Snyder. There are no others comparable. From the word Go his career has been in the business of pissing off entitled fans by re imagining works they masturbate to nightly. Don't ever forget Dawn of the Dead was how he started. He makes wonderful movies that are also always going to piss off dedicated fans forever no matter what the content of the film. He is a creature unto himself.
