Homelander doesn’t have superman level Superspeed so he couldn’t have gone back and forth 120 times. Realistically, Superman holding up the plane would also be like a needle holding up Jelly, so Homelander was right that he couldn’t have done it. What Homelander could’ve done was to try and save a few (maybe 20 people), but they would’ve ratted him out. So what Homelander did was the most logical.
Same bro. I don't know but I really hate homelander and it makes me appreciate superman much more but still I will never see superman the same way ever again. Seeing that scene ( the homelander one) makes me hate superheroes.
absolutely loved that part! actually, classic clark kent! Lois should've immediately recognized him from that alone! but the guy had just grabbed a plane and placed on the ground... clark was the furthest thing on her mind at that moment :D
@@ranchump Yup. This was a callback to the time he saved Lois from a helicopter that had partially crashed on the rooftop of a building. She fell out first, he caught her, then the helicopter fell and he caught it with the other arm. Flew them both up to the roof of the building and gave this speech.
It is...because Superman is supposed to inspire hope and banish fear. He wants to make sure that no one is afraid to go flying again just because of one bad day.
@spencergsmith and Kevin Spacey was about as perfect a follow up to Gene Hackman as you could get. In fact, I think I prefer him to Hackman, only because he is a lot more sophisticatedly sinister. He truly portrays a real villain, while Hackman's was just a crooked businessman.
I just couldn't help but think it was a bit of a d*ck move to just fly off and leave the plane on the field. I mean, now the city has to spend time and resources to remove that bloody thing when Supes could have easily moved it for them after all the passengers were out....
They could've CGI'd the seats a bit better. Evidently while landing the plane, superman also replaced and bolted down all those seats that went flying to the front cause when he gets on the plane to check on the passengers, all the seats were just fine again
@@markdias3463 It's been stated before that Superman has the ability to literally manipulate physics around him, allowing him to lift stuff like this. Kinda like how Omni-Man explains to Invincible how they're able to fly.

He can't do it for him sled but for the others, he will not failed them, he would not let them down not with the live of others in his hands. He will do it, he will land the plane and save them
This film was a tribute to Silver Age Superman. The cheesily overpowered, perfect hero with unshakable morals that we all know and love. No anti-hero here. His characrer is as good-hearted and noble as it comes. Thank you, Christopher Reeves. You will always be my childhood hero.😢

@@fireflame62 yep, he loses his Lois much like in Kingdom Come, and wears the same outfit as in KC, with the lighter temples. i always loved the look of Superman as an older hero and his did feel convincing. Was fun to even see him in COIE as the 'Kal-L' to Tyler Hochelin's current 'Kal-El' Superman like in the comics for the event, two side by side. There were talks to bring his story back and expanded upon at HBO Max but that fell through well before James Gunn and Pete Safaran took over. Mind you, 'Elseworlds' is apparently now a brand in the DCEU films, so maybe we could get a one off streaming chapter? i'd like that. i kinda recognize him as the Reeve Supes, roughly.
Bane 88, it is crazy. Superman (1980 original film) was my childhood. Watched that movie 100 times. This movie takes off where Superman II ended (and I"m glad, since I hated III-V). Anyway, I barely noticed the transition from one actor to the other.
@@d.lawrence5670 I was never a big Superman fan & not a big fan of chase scenes. A scene like this usually bored me but I LOVED THIS! Everything about this movie was great to me & I was so surprised. No clue how this was looked down upon? Man of steel just didn't not get me at all.
Voice, mannerisms, line delivery HE LITERALLY BECAME REEVE. Man would he have been proud. Not nearly enough credit goes to this film and wrapping up the epic Superman trilogy and retconning those last two abominations.
I think that was one of the problems with this movie. They wanted to recapture Me. Reves essence with Brandon. They should have give his character a more edgy personality, like the Man of Steel movie did.
@@isoroxuk Tbh when I saw him again in the suit and as Clark, comparing him directly against Tyler Hoechlin's version, his was so superior. It felt like Tyler Hoechlin was playing dress up.
I love how he sees the plane collapsing and completely on fire, plummeting down to earth almost as fast as him, but he doesn’t once panic or look stressed. He remains cool and collected and does his upmost best to go after the plane, confident he can save every passenger. That’s Superman.....
This is one of the most underrated movies of all time, and Brandon Routh is a great Superman. I wish the audience got to see him as Superman in more movies.
Hugely agree. Film was victim of review bombing and influencers deciding people’s opinions on the movie for them. Anybody watching this now without hearing the bullshit slander from youtubers and shitty articles on “why it sucks”, will probably love it. Form your own opinions. This movie is super man through and through
Brandon Routh was the perfect choice to play Superman in this movie , ..... although Christopher Reeve will always be Superman, he succeeded in giving a excellent performance !!
He really was as close as you can possibly get. There is only one 6'4" Reeve that looks like that and can act like that. Going from awkward insecure doofus to Supes in a second. But Routh came damn close. It is actually a good movie. Not enough action for the dummies that need 90 minutes of CGI video game cutscenes
The issue is that they tried to play this as a sequel to the original Superman movies and tried to force Routh to be Christopher Reeves's version of Superman. If they had done something completely different and let him be Superman without fitting into the mold that Reeves created, I think he may have done more than one film.
@@Majestic_Graphics hn Reeve better Henry don’t even got tht curl in the front ts important😂 but Henry look like a buff ass bull but he’s still a solid Superman but idk I think reeves better
"Statistically speaking, it´s STILL the safest way to travel". The same line he said to Lois when he saved her on that helicopter iconic scene back on the very first movie. Everyone hates this movie, but I kinda liked it.
Same. People say it’s a rehash of the original Superman movies, but is that so bad? It’s a modern recreation of Superman and it added so much cool stuff to Superman that was absent from those old movies. The great effects, the fast Superman with sonic booms, all of it were really cool. The movie was really devoid of action for the most part which isn’t great and the story kinda goes weirdo mode at the end but if it was just a bunch of scenes like this, this movie would’ve been amazing.
@@CraftyCarrot Honestly, I do wish the movie would have at least given Lex a more original scheme, but it's also far from the first time that a sequel rehashed a previous movie's plot. Terminator 2 was still about a human-shaped killing machine time traveling to erase a threat with another "person" also being sent back to stop him. Back to the Future II and III recreated every iconic moment from the first movie but in different time periods and contexts. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was once again about Indiana Jones vs a Nazi-affiliated archaeologist trying to find a Christian artifact that the Nazis want to use to win the war. Superman Returns and Star Wars: The Force Awakens are far from the first movies to rehash old plots, but fanboys overreacted like they do to everything these days.
@@axebomber2108 repeating Lex's real estate plot was a terrible decision. There are so many villains and story lines available to choose from, but they choose to go and to make a knock off version of Richard Donner's movie? How awfully disappointing - and i say that as a huge fan of those movies. Why even make a sequel to a series of movies that the general public barely remember? The vast majority of the movie going public under 20 wouldn't have even seen the originals. At the end of superman II, supes apologizes to the president for disappearing for so long( a matter of weeks at most) and promised not to let him down again, then he immediately disappears for 6 years???? I know people have issues with Man of Steel, but at least Nolan & Snyder came up with their own version of Superman.
I hated this movie because it tried to recapture Christopher Reeve instead of formenting its own identity. Its the stale wet cloth of Supermen movie. Zack Snyder's MoS had issues--for me being Characterisation. But it delivered far better. It has its own identity and it took risks for me they mostly paid off
@@theguy3129 the scene ignores the most basic things about spaceflight and physics. Knowing only a small bit about space shuttles makes it very painful to watch this even with the fact I mind, that this is Hollywood. It's just too much bullshit to handle.
@@electricpaisy6045 I mean you have to bend some laws to make a scene more of an eye candy, plenty of movies have done that and there is honestly nothing wrong with that. Secondly this is a comic book movie, it was never supposed to make completely sense in the first place.
I love how when the first wing breaks off, superman looks back to make sure it doesn't fall on anything populated really quickly. Classic superman always there for the people. 😁
@@TONYCOV881 He looks a lot like Reeve's and this movie was a sequel after Superman 2 so yeah they casted him for his similarity with Reeve You can even see some dialooand last flight scene from Superman:The Movie
Everything about this sequence is perfect, the score, the sense of speed, utter chaos all around yet Supes remains as calm as ever (and Routh 100% nailed that role).
EVERYTHING about this scene is wonderful. Him making sure the shuttle goes off on it’s destination, him removing one of the wings to make it spin a little more predictably. Picking a spot to make sure the plane lands perfectly. Getting the door and making sure everyone was alright, and even cracking a joke to break the tension and let everyone know that they’re safe, and everything is going to be okay.
Oh wait he removed the wing himself. It wasn't just broken off because the plane couldn't hold its structure when being only lifted or held from that one weak point!! So it IS comic accurate then! He DOES still have a tactile telekinesis field in this version! HELL YEAH!!!! Although if comic accurate he should have been able to remove the wing in a nanosecond or less, too. Which might be disastrous physics wise for the people within, perhaps. But he should still be able to remove it faster than he did here, I think, and still have it be safe.
I don't think he removed the wing on purpose at all as it makes no sense. You can see that he was quite SURPRISED when the wing broke and he was like "oh shit". It was said in the book that he was trying to carefully stop the plane from Spinning to get it under control when the upwards stress on the wing from falling at greater than Mach 1 on it's belly was too much for the wing to take and it broke off since wings are not designed to take the wind at such speeds coming from directly underneath like that. Then of course the other one broke because now it's falling even faster, probably like Mach 1.5 and the stress is too much for the other wing. After that it became a projectile falling probably at Mach 2 or 3 before he caught up to it and was able to begin slowing it down and bring it down gently.
Lml I'll be honest too, when DC wasn't focused on being dark a gritty. Like I didnt like Bales Batman movies because they where dark and gritty. The world building was good, acting, and the writing is what made those movies.
@@thefurrybastard1964 i still hated the fact that after the movie premiered, they all dissed Brandon Routh like he is the main problem with the movie. Warner Bros and Bryan Singer escaped the backlash
So intense, the way they put Superman almost losing it was a masterpiece. Well filmed, great soundtrack. This movie and this actor deserved another chance.
Him lowering the plane into the stadium was the first time the world saw him again since he left to find Krypton. The crowd cheering in the scene is perfect. What a triumphant return for Superman. It's a shame he only got this one film.
Isn't this supposed to be the Same Christopher Reeves Superman? If yes then it'd make no sense why he searched for Krypton. He's already supposed to know Krypton is dead from The Fortress of Solitude.
Man of Steel had the action, and that Oil Rig scene came close but this is still THE BEST "Superman save" in live cinematic history. Ottmans chorus and dramatic orchestra is so chilling The execution is all here.
This my favorite Superman movie and Routh is excellent as Superman; also my favorite Lois. Lois does more heroic stuff in this movie than any other Lois.
Not only the CGI is so good even after 17 fucking years u can literally feel the suspense of plane crash man Brandon Ruths Superman is criminaliy underrated im definitely sure Reeves would be proud of Ruths work as Superman.
Fr. I vaguely remember watching this movie as a kid. It's this scene that I remember. I remember it so poorly that I though Cavill was the Superman in this scene 😂
Man I swear I’ve been saying that for years now. I love zack Snyder but too often he sacrifices practicality and urgency for “coolness” which ironically hurts a lot of his work. Man of steel was a masterpiece imo but he left way too much on the table with that film.
@@eliaskouakou7051 bro so ur gonna act like cavil didn’t stare at him like a lost puppy as he gave his minute and a half speech abt “his people “ while the freaking world is ending and people are injured and dying? On top of that u expect me to believe that Superman wouldn’t try to save anyone while he was fighting someone when people clearly need help. And in bvs he literally acts like he can’t simply say “lex has my mom hostage” instead of saying “u don’t understand!!! Blah blah blah” ? Or what abt the fact that Batman doesn’t kill him because he simply said his moms name lol when Batman already new that he was raised on earth smh... oh and who tf calls their mom by her first name 😂 apparently someone who needs to move the plot along.
Brandon was the closest to Christopher Reeve. He practically embodies him in this clip. He sounds just like him, too. Wish he would have gotten more love.
i love this rendition of superman because he was a superman i knew growing up its not that i dont like henry cavil superman.. they have their own charm
routh was the best, he even captured reeves nerdy look and his sweet kind heard supes look, routh is "save all life" cavill is "kill everyone that is harming people even it means RISKING those innocent lives" look at superman 2, he left to minimise casualties even if it meant looking like a coward, cavill punched his own people through every building killing thousands of earth civilians but hey that's why this movie failed, being a hero doesn't take precedence no more it's the dumb action
I agree. We need more civil people like you. I look in comments in Superman videos and even down my way here, and I’ve seen one too many threads just trashing one actor to another. Taking their opinions of one’s bad/good acting as ‘facts’. It’s quite sad.
That’s because the boys is much more realistic , there’s no way the front hull of the plane didn’t collapse and Superman should have broke through it. Superman would have to exert twice as much force to slow down the plane let alone stop it, the nose of the plane must have been made from Vibranium
@@JonYen69 nope, superman applies a telekinetic force on the plane so he lifts the plane in it's entirety rather than just the nose with his comparatively small surface area. The Boys universe is just one of the weakest superhero universes Plus he really is a prick for not even carrying the 2 girls their mom was begging to save. Makes me want Superman to turn him to red mist with one punch. The fucker didn't even TRY
@@SayaaNara nope, do you understand how telekinesis forces work? If he had it and was using it then the Nose of the plane would never crumple at all and the wings he was using to steer wouldn't have ripped off. You're letting your fandom blind you from reality and physics. Homelander is a prick for not even trying but what he said wasn't wrong. That plane weighs close to 400 tons and was heading towards the ground at terminal velocity, superman would have to exert close to a million pounds of force to stop the plane so realistically like Homelander said, he would of just broke through the aluminum nose of the aircraft . Imagine having a thin Needle try to hold a human body from letting it touch the ground, that needle would definitely pierce through like jelly. Now imagine that body falling from the sky at terminal velocity and having a needle coming at you with a greater amount of force, ouch!
@@JonYen69 telekinesis is fictional so there's no objectivity on how they "work." Kenetic forces with your analogy would be how real world physics apply but you disregarded my point of view entirely on Superman's lifting prowess In simple terms he made it so there's essentially 1000 Supermen lifting the plane at different points of the plane so there's not a part where momentum would force that to go splat on the ground since the hypothetical Supermen are drastically reducing each part of the plane's downward velocity and therefore force all around the entire plane at one time But since Homelander is unable to or have no knowledge of such an ability despite telekinesis being present in the Boys universe it does kinda confirm that he is just a defected Great Value Superman that has no regard for anyone's well being or is willing to put in any effort to better himself
True, but the only way to explain him supporting the fuselage is by using the idea that he can extend some kind of energy field around anything he touches.
@@Radical_Larry For the vast majority of his publication history that telekinesis is limited to touch and mainly acts as a field that stops structures from falling apart, like in the example I used above. But yes, you're bang on the money.
@@Radical_Larry you do know that the original saying was "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" right? Somewhere along the way he gained the ability to not only fly but hover AND stop falling airplanes in midair.
The "Safest way to travel" speech did double duty here. First, he showed the passengers that he's still a beacon of hope by letting them know they should continue to feel safe about flying. It's a very Superman-y thing to say. Second, he said it specifically for Lois; it's almost exactly what he said the first time they met. Only she and he know what was said back then, no one else would have known. That was his way of telling her that it's not (somehow) an imitator or pretender, it's actually him, and he's back.
But to be fair, she would’ve realized it regardless as in other media it’s implied that she can figure out the secret before she gets told it, and let’s be fair, not a lot of people in Metropolis who can pull that off
Perry Simpson this was my 1st Superman movie and I liked got me to liked Superman and wanted to learn everything about him Brandon Routh looks so much like Christopher Reeves that I thought they were father and son
JayBourne84 Brandon Routh sat down with Bryan Singer at a coffee shop and Brandon spilled coffee all over the table and the director, he got so nervous and thinking that he will not get the part but the director hired him on the spot for his “Clark Kent clumsy”
This 5 min scene is the best in my opinion, everything looks real, the shock waves , the tension of metal and everything looks so good, such a great scene, Kudos to cgi team 👍
realEmoSedillo Obviously not. I think he was trying to stop it spinning to the point that the plane could glide and he could help them land afterwards by holding the plane. He must’ve underestimated the pressure that the wing would snap.
Homelander: "get back! I will laser every fucking one of you!" Superman: "is everyone alright? I hope this experience hasn't put any of you off flying, statistically speaking, it is still the safest way to travel"
ricaard actually the best is from 1978 Superman when he’s rescues Lois and catches the helicopter. No other super hero scene comes close to that one 40 years later
From all Superman movies this is one of my favorite scenes... I remember watching this at the theater and my heart was pounding like crazy ...the special effects...the music.. it's still awesome !
@@mohammedashian8094 She's definitely resilient enough to carry a half-Kryptonian baby to term when there was the risk of it kicking through her abdominal wall due to uncontrolled super-strength. Plus, who knows what side effects super-jizz had ;)
This is one of the best Superman scenes in any Superman movie. Superman Returns is pretty underrated in my opinion, and Brandon Routh is SUPER underrated as well. He played the “younger Christopher Reeves” part very well
This scene itself establishes what Superman is all about. It's not the powers that make him what he is, but what he stands for. Even without his powers, Clark would still be Superman and would still fight on.
The music swelling as Lois looks out the window and sees the blur of Superman flying past is by far my favorite part of this whole movie. Absolutely incredible how much emotion you can get from just several seconds
@@jamiestewart48In a moment of despair, you see a flash of red and blue--and know, in that instant, that there is no need to be afraid, because you're going to be okay. THAT is the essence of Superman.
That stopping ripples in the plane was so natural.... Sometimes I wonder why dc didn't continued with the Brandon Routh as superman in justice league...
Brandon routh as superman and christian bale as batman around the 2010s Would have been awesome We could even reboot superman movie But keep Brandon routh Since the others didn't do that exceptional play I think brandon can still play superman nowadays A bit of an older version tho I mean Henry cavil has the height to play superman and in term of his physique He defends himself quite good However he is not what we would see clark kent as I mean to play superman The height plays a major role in it Because superman has to be atleast 1m90 to 1m94 Thus why many actors can't play it Despite having the looks to play kal-el And also in 3/4 of the versions he has blue eyes But we can ignore that But for the height no
WB/DC stopped the continuation of the Brandon Routh Superman because the movie didn't make "enough" bank, and it had mixed reviews. They had also planned to combine Christian Bale's Batman with this Superman to make a cinematic universe. That's why "I Am Legend" had the "Batman vs Superman" movie poster in it.
There was a plan for a Justice League movie, but the Christopher Nolan Batman movies were being made at the same time, and they were going to cast completely different guys. D.J. Cotrona was going to be Superman, and Armie Hammer was going to be Batman. I don't know about Cotrona, but, in hindsight (and not just because he was a lousy Lone Ranger), Hammer would have been a problem. Anyway, the 2008 writer's strike ended up killing the idea.
This is the best scene from the whole movie, I loved it. The fact the this is the first time we watched Superman on the big screen, with upgraded effects, since Christopher Reeve's movies, almost made me cry in the theater. No, wait!, I did cried.
Yes. i remember at the time, my friends commenting that it seemed like saving the plane was difficult for him, as though he could just put hands on the wingtip and everything would be fine. I tried to explain that he was trying not to overpower the aircrafts frame- finding a point to grab it where it wouldn't break apart.
One of the best modern day Superman scenes. Love that actual physics are at play with the plane as well. The wing ripping due to the G-forces and the ripple traveling down the fuselage are nice touches. Plus the triumphant trumpets playing in the background are the best.
@@mydreaminorbit9297 Yes that ripped itself apart due the stress on it after the spin changed. But the first was deliberately ripped off by Superman to get the plane more under control, since before that, it spun out of control.
I know Homelander said it wasn’t realistic to save everyone & used it for his evil plan but to me at 1st it just came off as he was Too WEAK to lift a plane while flying so his tantrums xD good on ya Supes
Homelander just said that because he’s lazy. There are ways to mess with a planes aerodynamics to get it to fly in a straight path. The wing flaps are one way . The way Superman saves them here is still unrealistic but it still goes to show how much strength he would give to save those passengers. This is such a classic scene.
Two hands put together is about 100 square inches of surface area. A loaded 737 would be about 145,000 lbs. Homelander/Superman would pierce through it like a needle through a tissue when trying to lift it.
@@G82Jesse Superman's flight is from a tactile telekinesis ability, this is how he keeps things together and catches falling targets without killing them. It is how he can move planets without flying straight through them.
I love shots like this. Even though he's flying nowhere near his max speed, there is a sense of excitement knowing that Superman is fast enough to get in front of the plane.
the way he spiraled around the fuselage to get to the nose. even the newer movies can't seem to capture the same physics. zack snyder likes to have the camera way too close or it's framed too much like a video game
To be honest, i saw ¨The Boys¨ S1 E4 after Homelander said he couldnt save the plane, i came here to se a real hero do the job.
Homelander was just lazy prick. He was like, 'Come back like 120 times??'
He could of done it. Just didn't want to.
Homelander doesn’t have superman level Superspeed so he couldn’t have gone back and forth 120 times. Realistically, Superman holding up the plane would also be like a needle holding up Jelly, so Homelander was right that he couldn’t have done it. What Homelander could’ve done was to try and save a few (maybe 20 people), but they would’ve ratted him out. So what Homelander did was the most logical.
Homelander is a asshole .... nothing compared to superman

I was thinking "Superman did it and you're a copy. Why cant you?
I love that even after saving the plane, he still gives a PSA about the safety of flying. Classic Superman
absolutely loved that part! actually, classic clark kent! Lois should've immediately recognized him from that alone! but the guy had just grabbed a plane and placed on the ground... clark was the furthest thing on her mind at that moment :D

@@fireflame62 yep, he loses his Lois much like in Kingdom Come, and wears the same outfit as in KC, with the lighter temples. i always loved the look of Superman as an older hero and his did feel convincing. Was fun to even see him in COIE as the 'Kal-L' to Tyler Hochelin's current 'Kal-El' Superman like in the comics for the event, two side by side. There were talks to bring his story back and expanded upon at HBO Max but that fell through well before James Gunn and Pete Safaran took over. Mind you, 'Elseworlds' is apparently now a brand in the DCEU films, so maybe we could get a one off streaming chapter? i'd like that. i kinda recognize him as the Reeve Supes, roughly.
for me, this is the most iconic Superman scene in any movie
Couldn't agree more.. this is 100% the most "superman scene" ever captured on film
Agree
The way he flies right through the detached wing was rad as f 🤘😎
2:59 the way the chorus jumps in as he bursts through the wing is just 👌
Goosebumps... It's marvelous
Glad someone else noticed that, my fav part of the scene!
Literally came for this comment
duel of fates-esque
Completely my favorite part!
Crazy how much he actually looks like Christopher Reeve
Yes, and before Deepfake
Bane 88, it is crazy. Superman (1980 original film) was my childhood. Watched that movie 100 times. This movie takes off where Superman II ended (and I"m glad, since I hated III-V). Anyway, I barely noticed the transition from one actor to the other.
@@d.lawrence5670 I was never a big Superman fan & not a big fan of chase scenes. A scene like this usually bored me but I LOVED THIS! Everything about this movie was great to me & I was so surprised. No clue how this was looked down upon? Man of steel just didn't not get me at all.
Voice, mannerisms, line delivery HE LITERALLY BECAME REEVE. Man would he have been proud. Not nearly enough credit goes to this film and wrapping up the epic Superman trilogy and retconning those last two abominations.
I think that was one of the problems with this movie. They wanted to recapture Me. Reves essence with Brandon. They should have give his character a more edgy personality, like the Man of Steel movie did.
He was massively underappreciated as Superman. And that scene in the cinema was just epic. Really wish we could have seen more of him as Supes
i would like to watch this scene in big screen like IMAX
We will always have Superman in US All. 🦸♀
@NEP84 I'll let the screenwriters know at The Daily Planet.
Just one film and a few TV episodes
@@isoroxuk Tbh when I saw him again in the suit and as Clark, comparing him directly against Tyler Hoechlin's version, his was so superior. It felt like Tyler Hoechlin was playing dress up.
Hands down ONE of the best scenes of any Superman movie. It made you feel the suspense!!
This is my favorite Superman moment in any live action version.
This is the most Superman thing he could've ever done and it was put together so well.
I love how he sees the plane collapsing and completely on fire, plummeting down to earth almost as fast as him, but he doesn’t once panic or look stressed. He remains cool and collected and does his upmost best to go after the plane, confident he can save every passenger. That’s Superman.....
@Bobby Papoutsis he didn't know she was inside
I guess you could say he's got nerves.... of steel
@@wasaglass 👉🏽🚪lol
This shows that he is able to fly slightly faster than terminal velocity, snyders superman keeps up w the flash lol
I like when he just busts right through the second wing when you think he's going to dodge it. Classic Supes.
This is one of the most underrated movies of all time, and Brandon Routh is a great Superman. I wish the audience got to see him as Superman in more movies.
He definitely needed another movie. A better one. He is a perfect successor to Reeve.
Hugely agree. Film was victim of review bombing and influencers deciding people’s opinions on the movie for them.
Anybody watching this now without hearing the bullshit slander from youtubers and shitty articles on “why it sucks”, will probably love it.
Form your own opinions. This movie is super man through and through
Totally agree. Really prefer him over Cavills portrayal of Superman. He deserved more movies.
I would have loved to see this Superman continue into a Justice League movie.
UNDERRATED, ARE YOU KIDDING ME THIS MOVIE WAS SOOO FUCKING BAD, EVERYONE LEAVING THE THEATRE THAT WATCHED SAID IT SUCKED
I like how he doesn't show even the tiniest bit of fear. He knows without a shred of doubt that he can save the plane.
Brandon Routh was the perfect choice to play Superman in this movie , ..... although Christopher Reeve will always be Superman, he succeeded in giving a excellent performance !!
He really was as close as you can possibly get. There is only one 6'4" Reeve that looks like that and can act like that. Going from awkward insecure doofus to Supes in a second. But Routh came damn close.
It is actually a good movie. Not enough action for the dummies that need 90 minutes of CGI video game cutscenes
"will always be" ? no... dude is dead and gone. brandon routh is a good superman yes. but Henry Cavill is/was better..
The issue is that they tried to play this as a sequel to the original Superman movies and tried to force Routh to be Christopher Reeves's version of Superman. If they had done something completely different and let him be Superman without fitting into the mold that Reeves created, I think he may have done more than one film.
@@Majestic_Graphics hn Reeve better Henry don’t even got tht curl in the front ts important😂 but Henry look like a buff ass bull but he’s still a solid Superman but idk I think reeves better
Cavill is always our best superman ❤🔥
"Statistically speaking, it´s STILL the safest way to travel".
The same line he said to Lois when he saved her on that helicopter iconic scene back on the very first movie.
Everyone hates this movie, but I kinda liked it.
Same. People say it’s a rehash of the original Superman movies, but is that so bad? It’s a modern recreation of Superman and it added so much cool stuff to Superman that was absent from those old movies. The great effects, the fast Superman with sonic booms, all of it were really cool. The movie was really devoid of action for the most part which isn’t great and the story kinda goes weirdo mode at the end but if it was just a bunch of scenes like this, this movie would’ve been amazing.
@@CraftyCarrot Honestly, I do wish the movie would have at least given Lex a more original scheme, but it's also far from the first time that a sequel rehashed a previous movie's plot. Terminator 2 was still about a human-shaped killing machine time traveling to erase a threat with another "person" also being sent back to stop him. Back to the Future II and III recreated every iconic moment from the first movie but in different time periods and contexts. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was once again about Indiana Jones vs a Nazi-affiliated archaeologist trying to find a Christian artifact that the Nazis want to use to win the war. Superman Returns and Star Wars: The Force Awakens are far from the first movies to rehash old plots, but fanboys overreacted like they do to everything these days.
@@axebomber2108 repeating Lex's real estate plot was a terrible decision. There are so many villains and story lines available to choose from, but they choose to go and to make a knock off version of Richard Donner's movie? How awfully disappointing - and i say that as a huge fan of those movies. Why even make a sequel to a series of movies that the general public barely remember? The vast majority of the movie going public under 20 wouldn't have even seen the originals.
At the end of superman II, supes apologizes to the president for disappearing for so long( a matter of weeks at most) and promised not to let him down again, then he immediately disappears for 6 years????
I know people have issues with Man of Steel, but at least Nolan & Snyder came up with their own version of Superman.
@@CraftyCarrot It literally just redoes story beats from the original without what made it special. Bryan Singer is the JJ Abrams of superhero movies.
I hated this movie because it tried to recapture Christopher Reeve instead of formenting its own identity. Its the stale wet cloth of Supermen movie. Zack Snyder's MoS had issues--for me being Characterisation. But it delivered far better. It has its own identity and it took risks for me they mostly paid off
One of the best superman scenes ever, they really nailed the feeling that he can fly.
I flew around the world 7 times during the filming of this movie.
One of the worst Hollywood scenes ever. It sets new standards for how wrong you can show something.
@@electricpaisy6045 You don't make sense, try harder.
@@theguy3129 the scene ignores the most basic things about spaceflight and physics. Knowing only a small bit about space shuttles makes it very painful to watch this even with the fact I mind, that this is Hollywood. It's just too much bullshit to handle.
@@electricpaisy6045 I mean you have to bend some laws to make a scene more of an eye candy, plenty of movies have done that and there is honestly nothing wrong with that. Secondly this is a comic book movie, it was never supposed to make completely sense in the first place.
For me, Brandon Routh is the best actor to play Superman. Watching this scene for probably 50th time. This never gets old.
But Henry Cavill was the best Superman
@@Nickwilde2295Henry cavill was a good Superman but he wasn’t written properly.
What I love about this scene, is that Superman, as strong as he is, still has to deal with physics.
I love how when the first wing breaks off, superman looks back to make sure it doesn't fall on anything populated really quickly. Classic superman always there for the people. 😁
Amazing comment
I thought he looked more "ok fuck its getting messy 😅"
Probably thinking... "Still owe Bats $500,000" and "Please, don't land on anything expensive... Please!!"
He was literally the perfect looking superman. Wish they made more movies with him
No one will ever compare to Christopher Reeve.
@I AM THE INCREDIBLY SHADOWS You said he looks like Christopher Reeve.
@@TONYCOV881 He looks a lot like Reeve's and this movie was a sequel after Superman 2 so yeah they casted him for his similarity with Reeve
You can even see some dialooand last flight scene from Superman:The Movie
@@tusharsingh5417 Yeah he may look a little like him but no one can deliver the character of Superman like Reeve!
@@TONYCOV881 Agreed on that...Reeve was Reeve
Hope we'll see him in The Flash again as it's been said
Everything about this sequence is perfect, the score, the sense of speed, utter chaos all around yet Supes remains as calm as ever (and Routh 100% nailed that role).
EVERYTHING about this scene is wonderful.
Him making sure the shuttle goes off on it’s destination, him removing one of the wings to make it spin a little more predictably.
Picking a spot to make sure the plane lands perfectly.
Getting the door and making sure everyone was alright, and even cracking a joke to break the tension and let everyone know that they’re safe, and everything is going to be okay.
I never realized that's what he was trying to do !
(when he ripped the wing)
Oh wait he removed the wing himself. It wasn't just broken off because the plane couldn't hold its structure when being only lifted or held from that one weak point!! So it IS comic accurate then! He DOES still have a tactile telekinesis field in this version! HELL YEAH!!!! Although if comic accurate he should have been able to remove the wing in a nanosecond or less, too. Which might be disastrous physics wise for the people within, perhaps. But he should still be able to remove it faster than he did here, I think, and still have it be safe.
The wings also hold a lot of the fuel
I don't think he removed the wing on purpose at all as it makes no sense. You can see that he was quite SURPRISED when the wing broke and he was like "oh shit". It was said in the book that he was trying to carefully stop the plane from Spinning to get it under control when the upwards stress on the wing from falling at greater than Mach 1 on it's belly was too much for the wing to take and it broke off since wings are not designed to take the wind at such speeds coming from directly underneath like that. Then of course the other one broke because now it's falling even faster, probably like Mach 1.5 and the stress is too much for the other wing. After that it became a projectile falling probably at Mach 2 or 3 before he caught up to it and was able to begin slowing it down and bring it down gently.
Wing broke off by unexpectedly.
When that god damn theme hits with his cape flapping I became 8 years old again...Superman!!!!
Me to did u ever catch Christopher reeves superman in the 70s and 80s great movie
❤️
Yes, I liked the cap-flapping foley, all the way through his desperate flying scenes!
Amen to that
Capes are always awesome
I'll be honest, I still like this movie.
👋
Lml I'll be honest too, when DC wasn't focused on being dark a gritty. Like I didnt like Bales Batman movies because they where dark and gritty. The world building was good, acting, and the writing is what made those movies.
I love this movie only coz Brandon Routh did an amazing job even with terrible directing, plot and scripts
It's a Superman movie made for adults.
@@thefurrybastard1964 i still hated the fact that after the movie premiered, they all dissed Brandon Routh like he is the main problem with the movie. Warner Bros and Bryan Singer escaped the backlash
I love that he landed the plan in the middle of a baseball game...the explosive applause from fans was epic.
So intense, the way they put Superman almost losing it was a masterpiece. Well filmed, great soundtrack. This movie and this actor deserved another chance.
The problem was this was a superhero DRAMA and people were expecting superhero ACTION. I say there's nothing wrong with the film at all.
Those people finally saw something exciting at a baseball game.
Ouch! good one!
Oooof
That’s crazy disrespectful 💀
Lmfaooooo
Must have been a Tampa bay rays game
Him lowering the plane into the stadium was the first time the world saw him again since he left to find Krypton. The crowd cheering in the scene is perfect. What a triumphant return for Superman. It's a shame he only got this one film.
Isn't this supposed to be the Same Christopher Reeves Superman? If yes then it'd make no sense why he searched for Krypton. He's already supposed to know Krypton is dead from The Fortress of Solitude.
A perfect comeback/homecoming with all the camera and audience the whole world could see him and feel hope again in that very moment.
I personally think they screwed up when they made him a father.
@@wofomofo1636 It was said in the film that Astronomers thought they found Krypton, so he had to see for himself.
I wonder if the Yankees won that game?
Wow the shot at 3:16 is AMAZING. This scene really holds up tremendously well after all these years.
I just came here for that scene
This movie is a joke
Same. I really wish he was given another chance with a better story. And this specific scene is still one of my favorites from any Superman film.
Yea thx to matrix reloaded cgi achievments era
@@Mrbimmer11these kids don’t understand how good this movie is

no its not lol
Let's be real even today this still gives us the chills
correct🍺
If they ever make a superman game, they need to recreate this scene..
No argument here 😊
Plus CGI
Still does haha I work in VFX and I still say this looks good.
As a superman fan. This is one of my most favorite scene
Voglio bene ai miei fan....ti invierò una mia foto 🙄
This my favorite Superman movie and Routh is excellent as Superman; also my favorite Lois. Lois does more heroic stuff in this movie than any other Lois.

Too many Snyder bots in this comment section
Now that sounds like Superman!
Not only the CGI is so good even after 17 fucking years u can literally feel the suspense of plane crash man Brandon Ruths Superman is criminaliy underrated im definitely sure Reeves would be proud of Ruths work as Superman.
Still the best Superman scene.
Fr. I vaguely remember watching this movie as a kid. It's this scene that I remember.
I remember it so poorly that I though Cavill was the Superman in this scene 😂
@@notjhoan omg same i had to search it up ‘superman bullet in the eye scene’ I remember it so vaguely that even I thought of him as henry cavill
Sorry, but nothing will ever be better than Man of Steel's first flight scene
this is the only best scene in Superman returns , sorry
Sorry but there a hell of a lot of other scenes in man of steel that are superior
We really needed more scenes like this in the DCEU, this sense of urgency was lacking
Man I swear I’ve been saying that for years now. I love zack Snyder but too often he sacrifices practicality and urgency for “coolness” which ironically hurts a lot of his work. Man of steel was a masterpiece imo but he left way too much on the table with that film.
Lol because the terraformic engine murdering people in metropolis wasn't urgent? because Zod destroying everything wasn't urgent? Come on guys
@@eliaskouakou7051 bro so ur gonna act like cavil didn’t stare at him like a lost puppy as he gave his minute and a half speech abt “his people “ while the freaking world is ending and people are injured and dying? On top of that u expect me to believe that Superman wouldn’t try to save anyone while he was fighting someone when people clearly need help. And in bvs he literally acts like he can’t simply say “lex has my mom hostage” instead of saying “u don’t understand!!! Blah blah blah” ? Or what abt the fact that Batman doesn’t kill him because he simply said his moms name lol when Batman already new that he was raised on earth smh... oh and who tf calls their mom by her first name 😂 apparently someone who needs to move the plot along.
@@eliaskouakou7051 bottom line, the way zack implements practicality and urgency is terribly inconsistent in these films.
Same God
Brandon was the closest to Christopher Reeve. He practically embodies him in this clip. He sounds just like him, too. Wish he would have gotten more love.
This is up there with the best Superman scenes ever put to film. The camera work and flight moments really stand out.
Just finished watching The boys, The airplane scene with Homelander made me come back here lol
Yes someone!!
Mee too

Yes it has. It's 14 years old.
i love this rendition of superman because he was a superman i knew growing up
its not that i dont like henry cavil superman..
they have their own charm
routh was the best, he even captured reeves nerdy look and his sweet kind heard supes look, routh is "save all life" cavill is "kill everyone that is harming people even it means RISKING those innocent lives" look at superman 2, he left to minimise casualties even if it meant looking like a coward, cavill punched his own people through every building killing thousands of earth civilians but hey that's why this movie failed, being a hero doesn't take precedence no more it's the dumb action
I agree. We need more civil people like you. I look in comments in Superman videos and even down my way here, and I’ve seen one too many threads just trashing one actor to another. Taking their opinions of one’s bad/good acting as ‘facts’. It’s quite sad.
Superman: Carries the plane safely to the ground
Homelander: it's too complicated. Ciao!
That’s because the boys is much more realistic , there’s no way the front hull of the plane didn’t collapse and Superman should have broke through it. Superman would have to exert twice as much force to slow down the plane let alone stop it, the nose of the plane must have been made from Vibranium
@@JonYen69 nope, superman applies a telekinetic force on the plane so he lifts the plane in it's entirety rather than just the nose with his comparatively small surface area. The Boys universe is just one of the weakest superhero universes
Plus he really is a prick for not even carrying the 2 girls their mom was begging to save. Makes me want Superman to turn him to red mist with one punch. The fucker didn't even TRY
@@SayaaNara nope, do you understand how telekinesis forces work? If he had it and was using it then the Nose of the plane would never crumple at all and the wings he was using to steer wouldn't have ripped off. You're letting your fandom blind you from reality and physics. Homelander is a prick for not even trying but what he said wasn't wrong.
That plane weighs close to 400 tons and was heading towards the ground at terminal velocity, superman would have to exert close to a million pounds of force to stop the plane so realistically like Homelander said, he would of just broke through the aluminum nose of the aircraft .
Imagine having a thin Needle try to hold a human body from letting it touch the ground, that needle would definitely pierce through like jelly. Now imagine that body falling from the sky at terminal velocity and having a needle coming at you with a greater amount of force, ouch!
@@JonYen69 telekinesis is fictional so there's no objectivity on how they "work."
Kenetic forces with your analogy would be how real world physics apply but you disregarded my point of view entirely on Superman's lifting prowess
In simple terms he made it so there's essentially 1000 Supermen lifting the plane at different points of the plane so there's not a part where momentum would force that to go splat on the ground since the hypothetical Supermen are drastically reducing each part of the plane's downward velocity and therefore force all around the entire plane at one time
But since Homelander is unable to or have no knowledge of such an ability despite telekinesis being present in the Boys universe it does kinda confirm that he is just a defected Great Value Superman that has no regard for anyone's well being or is willing to put in any effort to better himself
@@SayaaNara I guess that could work if he does have those abilities, I was just going off what the movie showed.
That ripple on the plane is quite satisfiying from a engineer point of view
True, but the only way to explain him supporting the fuselage is by using the idea that he can extend some kind of energy field around anything he touches.
@@thefurrybastard1964 in the comics Superman and all kryptonians have telekinesis, and that's why Superman can fly. Look it up, it's pretty neat
@@Radical_Larry For the vast majority of his publication history that telekinesis is limited to touch and mainly acts as a field that stops structures from falling apart, like in the example I used above. But yes, you're bang on the money.
oh but not the fact the plane didn't break apart when it was spiraling out of control? some engineer you are.
@@Radical_Larry you do know that the original saying was "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" right? Somewhere along the way he gained the ability to not only fly but hover AND stop falling airplanes in midair.
Simply the single greatest action hero scene of all time.
When he rips the door of the plane and walks in, looks directly at Lois and says "Are you ok?", I just openly cry!
The biggest plot hole in this film is that Lois Lane is still alive after five years without Superman. She shouldn't have lasted five minutes.
XDD
I think the biggest plot hole to this scene is how does any airline track down a human flying towards a plane on the radar?
How a plane can go to space intact and humans still intact.
+Assman Santos Do you ever pay attention to story details? Superman is not human.
@@whiteribbonman1 do you pay attention to the realism that air radars only track down any aircraft that's made on this planet
I remember even in the theater people started cheering when he caught the plane.
The music in this gives me chills down to the bone every time
Literally one of the greatest movie scenes of all time
The "Safest way to travel" speech did double duty here.
First, he showed the passengers that he's still a beacon of hope by letting them know they should continue to feel safe about flying. It's a very Superman-y thing to say.
Second, he said it specifically for Lois; it's almost exactly what he said the first time they met. Only she and he know what was said back then, no one else would have known. That was his way of telling her that it's not (somehow) an imitator or pretender, it's actually him, and he's back.
The safest way to travel line is an ode to Christopher Reeve.
Same with the "You really shouldn't smoke, Ms. Lane." line.
I never put that together till I watched the helicopter incident and saving Lois Lane in Superman!
But to be fair, she would’ve realized it regardless as in other media it’s implied that she can figure out the secret before she gets told it, and let’s be fair, not a lot of people in Metropolis who can pull that off
Cool detail.
How did Clark know Lois was on the plane? And if he didn't, why was he not surprised to see her here out of all places?
I don't care what anyone says, the writers were going for a tribute to Christopher Reeve and Richard Donner... Perfection achieved.
Brandon Routh had Reeves's Clark mannerisms to a T
JayBourne84 I know right. He’s still one of my favorite actors to ever put on the cape. He even had the voice down.
Perry Simpson this was my 1st Superman movie and I liked got me to liked Superman and wanted to learn everything about him Brandon Routh looks so much like Christopher Reeves that I thought they were father and son
Yeah people crap on it. I enjoyed this movie.
JayBourne84 Brandon Routh sat down with Bryan Singer at a coffee shop and Brandon spilled coffee all over the table and the director, he got so nervous and thinking that he will not get the part but the director hired him on the spot for his “Clark Kent clumsy”
This 5 min scene is the best in my opinion, everything looks real, the shock waves , the tension of metal and everything looks so good, such a great scene, Kudos to cgi team 👍
What I like the most is the energy the plane delivers at the end on Superman when he had to stop it sharply. So cool.
Love how he flys through the wing like nothing.
Why was he holding on to the wing
@@realEmoSedillo To try and stop the plane from spinning
@@Abejaved was his goal to break the wings
realEmoSedillo Obviously not. I think he was trying to stop it spinning to the point that the plane could glide and he could help them land afterwards by holding the plane.
He must’ve underestimated the pressure that the wing would snap.
Homelander: "get back! I will laser every fucking one of you!"
Superman: "is everyone alright? I hope this experience hasn't put any of you off flying, statistically speaking, it is still the safest way to travel"
Superman can save the day, Homelander doesn't want to
One of the best scenes if not the best in all superman movies. Goosebumps till this day
I always liked this version. It certainly gave us a reminder of the 80s version.
STILL the best Super-save scene of all!
ricaard even better Christopher Reeves Super-save & Henry Cavill's space Super-save of Lois?
Statistically speaking, it's a tie with Christopher Reeve's Superman (circa 1978).
ricaard actually the best is from 1978 Superman when he’s rescues Lois and catches the helicopter. No other super hero scene comes close to that one 40 years later
John J. Rambo Disagree but catching the helicopter one handed was pretty cool I grant you😁
John J. Rambo Opinion.

Sometimes I wonder why dc didn't continued with the Brandon Routh as superman in justice league...
Well, different universes. Would be awesome to see an HBO Max Superman series with Brandon Routh
@@thenoirknight5729 that'll be awesome...
Brandon routh as superman and christian bale as batman around the 2010s
Would have been awesome
We could even reboot superman movie
But keep Brandon routh
Since the others didn't do that exceptional play
I think brandon can still play superman nowadays
A bit of an older version tho
I mean Henry cavil has the height to play superman and in term of his physique
He defends himself quite good
However he is not what we would see clark kent as
I mean to play superman
The height plays a major role in it
Because superman has to be atleast 1m90 to 1m94
Thus why many actors can't play it
Despite having the looks to play kal-el
And also in 3/4 of the versions he has blue eyes
But we can ignore that
But for the height no
WB/DC stopped the continuation of the Brandon Routh Superman because the movie didn't make "enough" bank, and it had mixed reviews.
They had also planned to combine Christian Bale's Batman with this Superman to make a cinematic universe. That's why "I Am Legend" had the "Batman vs Superman" movie poster in it.
There was a plan for a Justice League movie, but the Christopher Nolan Batman movies were being made at the same time, and they were going to cast completely different guys. D.J. Cotrona was going to be Superman, and Armie Hammer was going to be Batman. I don't know about Cotrona, but, in hindsight (and not just because he was a lousy Lone Ranger), Hammer would have been a problem. Anyway, the 2008 writer's strike ended up killing the idea.
man is literally the most gorgeous superman
This scene has withstood time smoothly.
2:58 Man, the part where he flies through the wing is just insanely badass.
mellow magic how to
Agreed, he didn’t even slow down.
Yeah it is
Always thought so myself.
It's because a speeding bullet can't make sharp turns.
0:21 I love this part. As Superman flies by, Lois has that faint hint of recognition. The acting, music, all came together!
Same. Few mention it but I think it is a huge moment for a such a brief moment in the film.
She can recognise him in a flash in the corner of her eye.I like how they mated her with a decent human (James Marsden).
Loved
yup. always been my favourite part
Except that she looked over to the window at the perfect moment for no reason at all when she should be focusing on grabbing that breather.
This is the best scene from the whole movie, I loved it.
The fact the this is the first time we watched Superman on the big screen, with upgraded effects, since Christopher Reeve's movies,
almost made me cry in the theater.
No, wait!, I did cried.
I’ve never seen this scene before. And holy shit it’s way ahead of it’s time. Cannot believe that’s from 2004.
If this was a michael bay movie the plane would still have exploded even if superman put the plane down safely
Orion Hurbina right and hot chicks every where too lol
@@decap6000 Until they are not there and you fuss about feminist agendas.
LMAO 😂
Man fuck you for putting this image in my head lmao
@Federal Bureau of Investigation micheal bay : "explosion are ART!!!"
Deidara : "i'm sorry mister, that was my line..."
I love how there was an attempt to recreate realistic physics.
Yes. i remember at the time, my friends commenting that it seemed like saving the plane was difficult for him, as though he could just put hands on the wingtip and everything would be fine. I tried to explain that he was trying not to overpower the aircrafts frame- finding a point to grab it where it wouldn't break apart.
@@TheMattfranz Not easy to do, even in the Studio. The scene required 2 more actual flights than planned.
One of the best modern day Superman scenes. Love that actual physics are at play with the plane as well. The wing ripping due to the G-forces and the ripple traveling down the fuselage are nice touches. Plus the triumphant trumpets playing in the background are the best.
He ripped the wing intentionally though.
@@michaelvedal1907 the second wing at 2:56
@@mydreaminorbit9297 Yes that ripped itself apart due the stress on it after the spin changed. But the first was deliberately ripped off by Superman to get the plane more under control, since before that, it spun out of control.
One of the best superman sequences the franchise ever produced 👌
Years later the joker went easy mode and destroyed this guy's life.
Dude had to fight himself. That's just sad now.
Lorenz Frost does that superman share the same earth with this?
@@ftxnatsuz3z845 yep this is kingdom come superman
Do u really reeves superman when lois died, he rotates earth and eventually brought back the time. This is the same supes with reeves,
Is this the same sups as the crisis sieries??
Almost 15 years later, this is still one of the best superhero movie scenes ever made. Fantastic.
Brandon nailed it. I don't mind Henry but this man did it right.
This scene is Superman GOLD.. 💯 Brandon Routh deserved a better movie. He was so good in the role.
We need a Routh Brandon superman vs Christian bales batman
That last line he delivered exactly what Christopher Reeve said in Superman ❤️
Such a good representation of Reeve's Superman
I'd like to thank Cavill for that.
@@alexanderallencabbotsander2730 What does that mean buddy?
@@tusharsingh5417 Henry Cavill.
@@alexanderallencabbotsander2730 I know Henry Cavill but I meant what do you mean by thanking him? and thanking him for what?
I know Homelander said it wasn’t realistic to save everyone & used it for his evil plan but to me at 1st it just came off as he was Too WEAK to lift a plane while flying so his tantrums xD good on ya Supes
Now THIS is a hero.
Also how is it that I find you everywhere after I’ve subscribed to you?
Homelander just said that because he’s lazy. There are ways to mess with a planes aerodynamics to get it to fly in a straight path. The wing flaps are one way . The way Superman saves them here is still unrealistic but it still goes to show how much strength he would give to save those passengers. This is such a classic scene.
Two hands put together is about 100 square inches of surface area. A loaded 737 would be about 145,000 lbs. Homelander/Superman would pierce through it like a needle through a tissue when trying to lift it.
@@G82Jesse Superman's flight is from a tactile telekinesis ability, this is how he keeps things together and catches falling targets without killing them. It is how he can move planets without flying straight through them.
@@tahjsimon9058 Yeah, his abilities were changed because of this issue, apparently.
3:16 is one of the most spectacular shots in superhero movie history.
I love shots like this. Even though he's flying nowhere near his max speed, there is a sense of excitement knowing that Superman is fast enough to get in front of the plane.
i'm agree with you
The way Superman save everyone from a plane crash with incredible soundtrack makes it so excitingly epic to watch.🤩
03:11 the sense of scale, the tension and the music. still unmatched to this date..
the way he spiraled around the fuselage to get to the nose. even the newer movies can't seem to capture the same physics. zack snyder likes to have the camera way too close or it's framed too much like a video game
