Man gets ripped apart by the media for just trying to do the right thing and what does he do? Calls his mother for comfort, and people say this Superman is emotionless.
@M.K.M. wtf? i think sincerely that you are in the wrong place pour your evangelism; i'm sorry for my english, i'm from Belgium; And Khal is not without sins, he killed;
This montage shows that Jonathan Kent was right when he said: "When the world finds out what you can do, it's going to change everything. Our beliefs, our notions of what it means to be human...everything." Zack, you wonderful man, you.
@PADRINO TDFW2 Damn right he was, Jonathan Kent may have been a simple farmer from Kansas but damn did he knew things. He was right about his son in every way, excellent foreshadowing. ✌️O.o
This is precisely why I think he can become evil in the future justice leagues. It’s not just about Lois but the fact that at this point, Jonathan’s death was in vain as humans still don’t trust Clark. That’s enough to make anybody question their morals
I think that's why the world needs Superman, and Superman knows it. We live in a time where kindness is deemed a form of weakness, anger and hatred is popular, and thinking that every person is doing something for an ulterior motive. And when we find that one person, the most powerful man in the world, is going out of his way to save people and give them hope, it boggles our minds!!
@Yagami Eren Why should it be impossible? If a person can do evil things for no reason at all, "just to watch the world burn" as Alfred said. Can't a man be good for the same reason? I think that the reason why good people are so hard to comprehend these days is because people as a mass don't want them to.
I love the fact that when he saves the girl he is smiling but when he is being worshipped he stops smiling and turns away because Clark doesn’t want to be worshipped because he is just a farmer from Kansas
I think what is also most beautiful about that scene is when he kneels down, as he is surrounded by the crowd. It not only shows that he is willing to (literally) lower himself to save others and make them feel safe, but that he's willing to make himself look humble and vulnerable among the people.
Love the discussion in the comments section. This is exactly what films should be about, having one’s own interpretation and sharing it with the world.
If Superman was real this is how people would react to him. Fox and CNN would be talking about him 24/7 discussing like this either as a threat or savior
@Flawrence Isenhart I'm pretty sure if he was real there will be mix feelings about him. Some cultures and religion like the guy says believe in a savior type. Some would feel threatened by his presence. He literally could blow the earth apart, burn the earth with his heat vision, punch through the earth's core. There's many ways Superman could wipe out the planet.
Not gonna lie....for me... This part of the movie is one of the most realistic scene of any superhero movie....it literally Shows what is people's real reaction seeing something beyond of us and our first thought...and it's something this powerful should act in our orders.....its an awesome scene
I love how Clark is so lost after watching these experts giving their opinion to the "Superman dilemma" but the first thing he does is call his mother. At the end of the day, he's just like us.
I think that's why the world needs Superman, and Superman knows it. We live in a time where kindness is deemed a form of weakness, anger and hatred is popular, and thinking that every person is doing something for an ulterior motive.

This montage basically explains the whole movie, including Batman’s motivations. Logical people are naturally scared of things they don’t understand. And even Batman can be scared.

Well, Bruce Wayne/Batman saw first hand all the destruction both Superman and Zod caused during the battle of Metropolis and how many innocents died (Jack, a very close friend of Bruce and a Wayne Industries employee) and others were injured (Wallace, a Wayne Enterprises security guard who lost his legs). So yeah, Batman's motivations against Superman were justified from his point of view. If Superman decided to go rogue, who would stopped him?? This is Batman's mission towards the Kriptonian.
@@L30n4rdo6 destruction damage was on Zod. Besides, how much damage causes all those villains who were not killed by Batman when he had a chance, and they escaped? IF Superman goes rogue, then Bruce can go berserk on him. Punishment must be always AFTER crime. Batman was so blinded, that he get himself fooled to not see true villain here, and causes more destruction... and death of Superman, with causes Stepenwolf visit, and another destruction and death.
@@bogbog4678 thats not really the point bro. The point is humanity’s first contact with an alien species resulted in an entire city being ravaged and the realization that not only are we not alone in this universe, but there are literally Gods out there with technology we can’t fathom.
Irrationnal people are scared of what they don't understand, because they default to their basic instincts (which is exactly what "fear of the unknown" is), rationnal people seek to understand and construct a valid opinion, their's a difference.
Strongest man in possibly the whole universe and still calls his mom when he is seeking wisdom/advice. This shows how humble he is. Can't wait for his return in JL.
@@Mohitkumar-mv8mj Personally I was totally upset. JL made no sense to me considering the very last scene in BvS. Not to mention how Jesse turned Luthor into a sociopath machiavelic individual, it had potential. I really believe they should have taken a risk by turning Kal-El into the obvious emblematic Christian figure we expected. All elements were there to showcase a deeper story while developing his character. Well, Cavill still delivered a remarkable performance but yea, that left me disappointed.
@ANTHONY THOMAS Same. I stopped watching MCU content consecutively after Endgame. Started getting hyped after the SnyderCut announcement and binged all his DC movies. Its poetic and heartfelt. Shame people and critics didn't realise that.
@ANTHONY THOMAS It's so sad that many people don't realize this. You can have comedy, just not at the expense of a poignant, profound message that is demonstrated by the actions of our heroes. This movie is truly incredible.
@Bonk ai69 Ikr? Loki can throw Tony Stark through a window and beat Captain america in Avengers but got his ass beat by every random human in the Loki serie.
This is actually my favorite scene in the entire movie. It really highlights that the problem isn't Superman. The world has gotten so cynical and paranoid that Superman literally cannot function the way he usually would. This entire montage has Superman accomplishing feats that you find in the comics and even in the classic Christopher Reeve movies. He's tugging a trapped ship, saving an exploding space-craft, pulling people from fires, and saving people from a flood. But rather than the people being happy and in awe of his arrival, signaled by triumphant music, everyone is second-guessing everything he does. They're lofting all these ulterior motives his way and projecting all this crap making the whole thing feel like a chore and makes Superman wonder why he bothered. People kept complaining, "Oh, why doesn't Superman smile more?" To which I say, What the hell do the people of Earth give him to smile about?
But isn’t it highlighting that you can never please (all) people - however he’s clearly being treated like a god by lots of people (even in the scene), they are calling out to him for help. Clark is watching the news debating his purpose, fine, but Clark is also a journalist who knows how the media works, surely he’d expect this reaction to some degree??? Clark then pursues batman accusing him of ‘taking justice into his own hands’ and ‘trampling on civic liberties’, little hypocritical no? Ironically, he’s projecting his own fears onto batman....Bruce pushes back and says the daily planet glorifies him everytime he does the most simple of good deeds, so it works both ways. Don’t forget - in this film universe, a small group of Clark’s race destroyed an entire city and tried to reform earth into Krypton. Of course people would be worried....they would be scared he’d do the same at some point (ever seen injustice?)
The look of relief and belief in her face. As if she'd heard and read about him for ever so long, and now in the midst of all her plight, as her home floods, her family in grave danger, at the end of her will, appears superman, just trying to do the right thing and suddenly the myth she's been hearing about is in front of her. She looks so relieved and incredibly amazed. 😢 I cry at this scene
yep, that would make anyone a god, no matter who it is, imagine being in a hopeless situation and someone came and help, does not matter if its a human, a man, a woman, they would be my saviour
"Are you as a US Senator personally comfortable saying to a grieving parent, Superman could have saved your child, but on principle we did not want him to act.?" One of my favorite lines, deep and thought provoking, cudddddd!!
And that "unilaterally" statements -- if you ask me -- destroys her stance. She says he shouldn't decide to save lives without her OK. In essence, she wants control over Superman and his decisions, basically being a control freak.
This shows perfectly the absolute hypocrisy of politicians that are corrupt and nasty to the core and are questioning the morals of a guy that's just saving people and minding his own business.. As always what politicians want is to steer controversy and fear because without that they cannot control the people
Another proof that it should have been Man of steel 2, not BVS. There are just so many unnecessary things and ideas in this movie. Wasted potential.They screwed up when they tried to turn from Man of Steel 2 into BVS/INJUSTICE/THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN.
@@caleblee8783 A Batman Vs Superman Movie serving as the Second Film could work, but only if that Conflict was the Main Focus and without all the JL Set-Up.
+capricornman89 yeah this might be my favorite scene too. It barely beat out the court room explosion scene for me. The explosion just gave me the feels for Superman realizing he couldn't save everyone in there.
The soundtrack to this really makes it pop. Hans Zimmer is truly amazing. Also, it's cool that they kept some of the Man of Steel chords and themes and interposed them into the BvS score.
@@officerspooder that's what he will look like in the human subconscious no matter how humble he tries to present himself as. This movie reflects on reality on a herculean scale.
@@officerspooder The point is that he doesn't see himself that way, he doesn't want to be seen that way and he will never want that for himself. He just wants to help people and bring them hope, the problem is the people and their shrewd perceptions.
0:13 U can actually see him smiling. He was happy to save that child. Only after the people started treating him as a god. He felt sad. He is just trying to do the right thing.
Exactly, I always notice that it was technically humanity's fault because I think this version of Superman was just trying to use his powers to help people and then society viewed him as a god-like figure which put a lot of pressure on him, at least that's what I thought
Oh god you're so right He just wants to help by using his power for good and people treat him like a god Heck if i was superman i'd feel the same way...
I think that scene is a metaphor for the battle of Metropolis. He managed to save the girl but he looks back at the burning factory and thinks of all the people he couldn't save. They treat him like a god but he doesn't think he's worthy cause he's just a guy who does his best to do the right thing. He's not perfect, he's not all powerful. In the end Zack Snyder's representation of the JL as gods is not an actual statement on the characters behind the mask, but on their responsibility towards the world. They can't control what people think of them, they just have to say true to themselves for a better tomorrow.
Of course he saved a Mexican child ..that’s what we do in central and South America. Unless there’s an explanation or America (USA) had something to do with it , then yes we will consider you a god right before our eyes
I could already imagine Ben Shapiro debating Liberals about the topic. Right wingers would be supportive as they are more religious and believe in a higher power more than a liberals.
@@maclemaster5966 I think that's why the world needs Superman, and Superman knows it. We live in a time where kindness is deemed a form of weakness, anger and hatred is a method of gaining popularity, and thinking that every person is doing something for an ulterior motive.

It’s not that they’re crazy or blind; it’s just that the rest of the dceu is a complete mess. Fair enough you’ve got Cavill as the consistently good part, but what are they going to do? Recast everybody else and reboot all the stories apart from his? He was excellent, sure, but from a financial and world building perspective it’s their only route forward. And before anybody says ‘they only ever think about the money’, yeah, shocker, they’re not a charity. They don’t have to make anything. Really it’s crazy or blind to assume they keep moving forward with the choppy state the dceu is in. Utter delusion for anybody to think anything other than a fresh start is the way forward.
BvS was ahead of its time. It’s perfect, it’s cerebral, perfectly casted, great story, relevance themed, and gorgeous to look at. It came out to a generation of giggling whiners who can’t go to a movie w some realism in their superheroes.
@@colonelstarsandstripes5379 Well, he's not Lex Luthor, He is his son. Also, BVS was his origin, watch his scenes in the movies after this and you will notice that he is turning more into the Lex Luthor we know.
Except that many scenes in bvs were unnecessary and long. The whole movie was too long and it would've been better if batman and superman started fighting earlier
@@ezed3635 Its a good thing that you are not in charge. I cant imagine the shit you would have done. This isn't animation 10min into the movie you start fighting. Live action is different than established animated movies and comics. The movie wasn't long enough....I wanted more of this art.
People said this superman is dark... The point of this movie was him still trying to be optimistic despite the media and the politicians and the people bash him in all sides. He still tried to smile despite all of this
Kartika Dewi let me tell you that A LOT of people have discovered this gem through the years; people have finally started to realize how powerful and epic this movie is with repeat viewings of the Ultimate Cut!
People hate synder for his “dark edger” movies but this is how the world would see superman he’s a god one who cannot be stopped by anything he’s a being so strong he can tear the world apart but chooses to help this is real
The same people who calls his movie "edgy" are the same people who enjoyed TSS and Peacemaker which is both of them are very edgier. Almost like the word "Edgy" has lost its meaning nowadays
Blasphemy, superman is not God just because he is stronger or can do things people cant, he is an alien from another planet. This is what would happen when the antichrist comes, people will believe him to be God because of the things he can do but he's not God. God is the creator of the universe.
This has to be one of my favorite scenes of the entire film. From 0:08-0:13 you can see a visible smile on Clark's face because he is extremely happy to help but when he puts the girl down and the people start reaching out to him as if he's a God figure then he begins to look sad as he stares into the burning building. This shows that all Clark wants to do is help but doing so comes with so much extra baggage that he would rather not have. The very next scene shows all of that baggage where people question his intentions and his integrity and people looking to him as if he's some sort of God when in reality he's just a regular guy trying to do the right thing because he has the power to do so. But the fact that Clark still goes out of his way to help people despite whatever people say about him gives even more credence to his character. Absolutely brilliant.
EXACTLY! Just wish we saw more of that.. And then the call of uncertainty with his mom is great and shouldn't have been cut! Clark got 100% tossed aside in the theatrical cut.. Unacceptable
Yeah, it's kinda' disheartening to see so many people miss so many great nuances that are in this movie. It's just the way Zack Snyder tells the stories in his movies: he never spoon-feeds his audience any exposition but instead has them think and digest the things that are in the scenes for themselves; it's not compatible with mainstream audiences today because all they want to do is be spoon-fed information and watch the story at face-value. People don't watch movies and think anymore, they just watch.
+Jon Reyes And ironically, this movie and Watchmen are the closest we will ever get to see graphic novels about superheroes. I believe that scenes like this one are meant to be interpreted as if they had speech bubbles showing the main character thoughts
The mainstream audience failed to realize what they did with Superman in this film.... because he doesn’t smile therefore this depiction of him is bad?? Does Captain America smile much in Civil War? No. Because they are both going through the same thing. These films change an icon and instead of having them praised by the media and politicians they are feared and hated yet they still fight for the greater good. Superman still tries to be optimistic and inspire good all around. His sacrifice at the end of the film is able to change Batman’s view on the world and bring back Wonder Woman into society......
Nothing wrong with that. My mother died 2 years ago (I miss her so much)....I will always be proud to be a "mama's boy." That's why we treat "women" with respect.
It's kind of sad really. People see a man who just wants to do the right thing, and then they feel a desire to force him into a box just because of the power he has. When people first see Superman, they see a man with immense power and strength, a god almost. But the point of Superman is that, with all the power and all that strength, he's still very human. He gets confused, he feels sadness, and joy, and pain, and love. He feels doubts like any other person. But he always wants to do the right thing. He always made sure that he was kind, compassionate, and humble. Superman is a hero that gives people hope, just because he has great power doesn't mean he takes away the human need to feel special. Ever since I was a kid, I always felt special because of Superman. I felt that, even though I have no power like him, I didn't have his strength or his sight, I could still be good. And I believe Superman gives other people those feelings as well.
So true! He is an inspiration for so many in the world. I too grew up watching Superman. So much so that I embody a part of him. There have been instances when Superman lost his power. He still always tried to do the right thing. That’s who he is and that’s what he does.
I feel like todays world doesn’t do that anymore with heroes. It’s all become so cynical; focusing only on the destruction and death and blaming the hero for something the villain caused as if they weren’t to blame.
I can't believe 30 minutes of footage which was critical to the story they removed completely from the film which is just a disappointment. Every deleted, extended, alternate scenes was important to fill in the Blanks. I still can't believe Warner Brothers messed up Snyder film.
Thing that pisses me off about all this, besides messing up the film, is people blaming Snyder for WB fucking with his movies. They fucked with BvS and Justice League, but Snyder gets ripped by "fans".
Him saving that Mexican girl really strikes a somber tone in my heart. As a Hispanic, the way they reacted was absolutely as real as it gets. Mexican culture is very religious and the mother along with the people there seeing a literal miracle happening in front of them is honestly what would happen in real life. They reach out to touch him because they believe he's their savior and want a piece of salvation.
And what sad is it's supposed to be a complete trilogy with Justice League and WB butchered JL and completely change the tone of the movie.. JL completely feels nothing like a Snyder film.
i love this. Clark never wanted the praise, he never wanted to be labeled as a God, a Demon, or even the messiah, he just wants to help people. Yet through the entire world people don't see the man, they only see the symbol
I used to hate this movie for having no fighting scenes until the end, but now I come back to it, it’s a beautifully made movie that’s just telling a story rather then just having a fight movie like IW and EG
@@kartikadewi3270 there's having a different opinion and then there's just being wrong. Becuase IW and EG are not "fight movies," regardless of their quality, that statement is straight-up false.
@@tylerleach8796 they are fighting movies though, especially IW. but they do tell a story. in short, they have more action scenes. but that doesn't its bad.
People keep saying Superman is treating his work like chores and isn't enjoying being a hero. Last I checked, saving lives isn't a glamour job. It's serious business. And he's not doing this to be a hero because he doesn't care for being a hero. He just wants to help others. He's far too humble and honest to get a big head and an ego just because he's got supporters and a giant statue...
thing is, he's smiling when he hands the women her child. But the way he's treated, not like a human and is seen as an outcast. you can see his smile fade. but by him sacrificing himself, he regained everyones hope and showed he has more humanity then they thought.
Slade.way786 I'm glad you understand unlike so many dim bulbs who claim to know what they're talking about. Bet in JL they'll still find reasons to complain...
jbvader721 That's what makes Superman so awesome, he has so much power and yet he doesn't let himself become corrupted by it. He doesn't see himself as a god, he doesn't see himself as a hero, he just sees himself as a man trying to do the right thing and find his place in the world but how can he do that when he is being treated like a criminal left and right?
just a man who wants to do the right thing, but incidentally blessed with almighty powers people can't treat him as a human, and he realizes this still he carries on best superhero
+Johnny ACL I have to disagree there. I've been a huge superman fan my whole life. This isn't the Boy Scout superman. In my opinion, I think this is how a superman would be perceived if he really existed. People would probably not like him and some people would. He's been superman for about a year and a half and he's saved the world twice lol. So I think he's still just trying to find his place as this god-like savior. That's a lot of pressure to put on one's shoulders.
Hats off , solute to zack synder. The way he showed superman at 2:13 is marvelous. Zack synder is a real artist. He showed superman as a god who has a very kind heart.
2:09-2:14 This is a great scene, Superman in the sky with the sun shining behind him as that woman reaches out to him for help, really captures the moment of how he is a god like figure.
This movie just needed to be cut different. Some tweaks. Can’t remember if the ultimate edition made much of difference with the added footage,but there needed to be more Superman. It felt like he was a guest star in a lot of it.
@@kb.9651 well it is called Batman vs Superman We already seen more of Superman from MoS so we get more glimpse of Bruce Wayne's point of view If only trailers back then didn't spoil Wonder Woman and Doomsday it would've been a huge hit of surprise to movie goers
DCEU is more of a realistic scenario of having superheroes on Earth. In marvel movies, apparently no civilian ever dies which is far from a real possibility (except infinity war).
This scene describes why dc feels more real. Like there actually existed a Superman in the world. Discussing his responsibility and how his actions can cause political contradictions. Justice league was a failed movie trying to walk in marvels shadow. Man of steel and Batman vs Superman where actually great. DC has always been a bit more real and dark... keep it that way! Henry as and always the best Superman
Being a hero is not just fly everywhere and save everyone. Sometimes, there is a moment a hero even questioned himself, whether his existence, his actions are actually reasonable. It is not because of the hero. It is because society is more complicated, real life, and the human mind is complicated. It is not just doing the good things and the world will be cherished. One of a great scene. Superman, a hero with a God-like power, who can do anything, and decide to do the right thing, now is questioning himself and even asking his mom (a mortal) for advice. Being a hero sometimes isn't being superior.
@@tauhid9983 oh I realize why. It’s because John Kent in that movie is an idiot who decided to tell his son to stay back even though he is younger, stronger, and FASTER than John even without the powers. They could have easily come up with a cover story if they had to.
@@tylerleach8796 first of all we don’t know Clark Kent developed super speed at that point of the movie. Second even if he did…u don’t think people will not notice him run into the storm and bring him to safety and then question how that happened. People will start connecting the dots to Clark…given some were speculating Clark was behind the bus rescue and then with pa Kent being rescued. That would add more to the suspicion.
@@tauhid9983 John could have easily had brought Clark with him to rescue the damn dog. In fact, if he did, then it’s likely that whole contrived scenario wouldn’t have happened at all.
Another super moving scene here. Here is Superman just doing what he can, saving a kid from a burning/demolished building. He is smiling and happy as he brings the girl to her family. But then he is instantly worshiped as like a god by all those around. You can see in his face that he does not like or want this. Then the scene of the flood, the people and lady looking up to him like their savior. And it at the same time has the press talking about if he is a mosiah, how his actions are crossing borders, ect. I mean he is getting in trouble for saving astronauts cause he does it without concern for what country he is in. I really feel for Superman. No matter what he does or his intentions he is either ridiculed for them or worshiped for them. He just wants to do the right thing. Combine this scene with the Capital bombing, when he finally has a chance to say something to the world, and yet is even robbed of that. Not only does he not get to finally speak, but he is again surrounded by death and destruction and the world again questioning him.
The brilliance of this scene and the movie in general is in regards to how Snyder took The Dark Knight Returns and FLIPPED it. Instead of news commentators debating whether or not Batman is helpful to Gotham, instead all the debating from the media is in regards to if Superman is a guardian angel from the heavens or a false god - and then both TDKR and BvS end with a funeral, but instead of the funeral pertaining to a redemption for Superman, it pertains to a redemption of Batman as well as the media and citizens of Metropolis finally accepting him as a hero after a massive battle nearly shook the Earth to its core. Quite frankly, it's genius.
"a beautiful view constructed beautifully" A beautiful quote beautifully constructed....beautifully. Here, this should help you later in life: www.thesaurus.com/
This movie is brilliant. This scene alone destroys a lot of comic book movie, and I basically love all comic book movies. This movie just brings something new to the table, and people weren't ready for it. All because they are used to the same old formula that is repetitive. People hate what they don't understand.
It's not so much that people weren't ready; it's more that you have to construct a character before you can deconstruct it. Or, perhaps, this should have been Superman's struggle in the first film, where much of the drama could have centred on the consequences of his mere existence. In any case, Superman never really becomes Superman in these films (and then he dies- -still mopey and full of doubts). On top of that, in both this film and MoS, Superman punches his way into a neat conclusion. Again, I really don't think the problem is sophisticated storytelling - it's more that Snyder doesn't know how to handle such things well.
+vivthefree are you kidding me? snyder said that he wanted kal el to be challenged,he wanted him to struggle and pass the obstacles to become the superman we all love
so whats are you saying viv. u wanted DC to be like marvel and have 3 or 4 crappy superman movies before we could get this? maybe a few hundred reboots like spiderman? fantastic 4? at this rate we'd see a JL movie in 2038
Boy you get itt!!!! trying to tell everyone! but everyone wants a perfect superman from the beginning that is why they hated him all along and now everybody will get their wish fullfilled in Justice League!
A07 Xz Yep! Man of Steel: They will race behind you (People learning to love Superman) Batman v Superman: They will stumble, they will fall (People starting to hate the DCEU Superman) Justice League: They will join you in the Sun (People will see the Superman they've always known and love)
"Maybe he's not some sort of devil or Jesus character. Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing." Man, that hit a whole different level of complexity for Superman BECAUSE he's always looked at as a godly figure.
But here's the difference between Superman and Magneto. Superman never gave up on people, he wanted to be a symbol of hope to humanity because he knew that they need one. Magneto was molded and hardened by human fear and hatred, and now that human hatred is very much a part of his mission because he gave in.
I read a review blasting BvS for making Superman & Batman overly masculine compared to Marvel characters. I'd say this critic was guilty for perpetuating this false idea of manliness & masculinity. It's refreshing to see the greatest superheroes being introspective (that doesn't automatically mean mopey or brooding). And what does it say when Superman, the granddaddy of all superheroes and one the greatest and most powerful, still goes to his mom for answers? It's important to show kids being unwavering in your virtues and commitments is important, but so is telling them it's okay and not unmanly to be unsure and ask for help. PS Ultimate Edition kicks even more ass. Loved it.
www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/04/25/why-marvel-is-crushing-dc-in-the-comic-book-movie-war.html Here's the quote from the article: “Crossfit replaced the Cheetos and the beta bros became alpha assholes.... And under Snyder’s watch, Superman went from the relatively scrawny Abercrombie and Fitch physique of Brandon Routh to the Crossfit lumberjack frame of Henry Cavill,” Abriss writes. “There’s a reason why so many of Snyder’s movies spawn work out trends. He glorifies violence and physicality and masculine muscularity while trying-to varying degrees of success-to condemn it thematically, ultimately making traumatic imagery look ‘cool.’” All this while praising Marvel. The authors seem to forget Hemsworth, Evans, and Downey aren't exactly ugly or wimps but it's cool to pick on Snyder & BvS. It's not a bad thing to be a "masculine alpha male," but it is wrong to say that it's the only way to be manly. And to shrug off BvS because they think it's full of "alpha assholes" is also stupid and ignorant on many levels. And like I mentioned, nice little moments with Clark and his mom are lost because of these critics' agenda to paint Snyder's vision as a testosterone-fest.
The little touches are what I like most of this scene. The men taking their hats off the looks of awe the mother dropping to her knees as the saviour returns her child from the Jaws of death. Fantastic
This is probably my favorite movie scene ever. This whole scene. Them talking about Superman, this being that is basically a god. Meanwhile showing him doing these feats. The music. It’s godlike
I feel like this doesn’t get much attention because Marvel/DC fans are too busy listening the haters like “Superman is overpowered” or “bad cgi”. That doesn’t matter IMO. What matters is the story and how the characters thoughts and feelings play out.
This scene shows so much more realism than most superhero movies. It's obvious that a being as strong as Superhuman would definitely be subject of hard politics and worship in a world like ours. Something that never made sense to me that it didn't exist in many other superhero movies
Another proof that it should have been Man of steel 2, not BVS. There are just so many unnecessary things and ideas in this movie. Wasted potential.They screwed up when they tried to turn from Man of Steel 2 into BVS/INJUSTICE/THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN.
Zack Snyder knew they couldn’t match the corniness of Marvel so he went with the opposite. The man is a genius. It’s a shame they ruined Justice League. #Releasethesnydercut
I laugh when people say Superman is unrelatable, what a joke. He is goddam a foreigner from another place with adoptive parents, which in this real world, is very accurate in most childrens situations.
According to them superman should always be smiling, and beg villains to stop killing instead or neutralizing them When he's Clark in public, he should always be awkward and timid just like reeve superman If he's not exactly like reeve then he's a bad superman
Why did Bruce "wake up" after meeting the Flash? Like I understand he had a prophetic dream and then woke up to see the Flash, but then he clearly "woke up" again... why? Was he getting Inceptioned?
And i love Snyder's superman Because HE IS BASICALLY WHAT IF OMNI MAN , HOMELANDER, DR MANHATTAN, GOKU (DBGT and DB) , LEONIDAS are HOPEFUL AND OPTIMISTIC GOOD HEROIC PEOPLE ???
The people who criticised this scene for looking "awkward" and out of place n a movie because of how some shots looked are mindless idiots who don't understand what beautiful imagery means. You don't specifically _have_ to see Superman saving the family from the roof top to be able to get the picture. It should be fairly easy to understand that he is going to save them and obviously not let them drown. People are just assholes and want an excuse to pick on something. This was one of my favourite sequences from any movie, ever.
***** Right, but thats not really why this scene gets criticised. It gets criticised because apparently the slow motion frames look silly. Like, "Hurr durr this is a film not a comic book, hurr durr". Its still masterful imagery, regardless. And to address your comment, sure he doesn't interact with much people, but i'm pretty sure that was deliberate because that wasn't the focus. Regardless, he still does demonstrate elements of his human side when he is physically _smiling_ while saving someone, or the fact that he is a mama's boy as shown in the end of this clip. We've seen Superman's boy scout personality so many times, i'm sure its not that huge of a deal if they don't thrust it in your face every so often, in this movie. I definitely get what you're saying, and maybe MoS could have benefited from that, but i think this movie had the perfect tone for the story it was trying to tell, especially in this edition.
You have to remember that this Superman isn't used to being open and connecting to Humanity. Growing up in MOS, he was isolated and ostracized; having little to no friends and therefore, wasn't used to speaking up and being open. That continues in this film. And he only said he didn't care because he has no regrets about saving his girlfriend. He wasn't there as a hero. He was there as a man with someone he cares for. Also, the public distrust didn't truly start weighing on him until the African incident, as for 18 months, they didn't have an issue with anything he was doing. And you keep saying CB Superman like there's only one version of him. It's clear you have a preference, but don't state it as the one true version. Others may find it insulting...
***** You also see the public's reaction to him when he lands in the capitol, protesting and shouting at him to get off their planet. And you see by the expression on his face, that his obviously affected by it. As somebody else mentioned, that "i don't care" line is not to be taken too literally. The meaning behind it is that he doesn't care what the public has to say about his involvement in Africa, he'll always save the people he cares about. Its obviously not meant to mean "fuck the public, i hope they die". This Superman wants to be trusted as well. Again, you can see how public opinion affects him because of how distressed and frustrated he looks when the media and politicians are debating about him. It follows the basic principle of "show, don't tell". Maybe, maybe not. Some people would rather their actions define them rather than speak about it to public officials. Besides, Finch didn't really need much convincing that Superman wasn't the bad guy, she had her doubts about Lex even before the hearing, and if you want Supes to clarify his actions, well, thats what the hearing was for. You can clearly see the smile on his face after he drops the girl to safety, and only turns into an uncomfortable expression when the people start touching him. The movie is not defined by pure symbolism, just the more subtle things that aren't going to be spoon-fed to the audience. Thats when you have to rely on your imagination. In the real world, no one is going to sob and speak their heart out to you all of the time, most of the time, its in their face expressions.
Kal-El fan 49 I’m not trying to be a party pooper but I do wish he would’ve gotten more dialogue. But besides that I love the way he was shown in this movie. He got a lot of character development.
I love that no matter how many times I watch these DC movies, I always find a new meaning to the plot or something I didn't think of before because of the mindset I am in when I watch these movies isn't always the same mindset.
Some advice, whenever you ask a question and they answer in riddles. Always assume its the answer you don't want to hear, because that's the only reason they would answer like that. And if you believe otherwise, try to find another logical reason that they would answer in riddles like that.
Ironically, the tone that Zack Snyder was going for can also work for a proper adaptation of Captain Mar-Vell (the dude infiltrated the planet Earth for his people, only to gradually become a protector for the aliens because of an inner strength that touched his conscience)...which will never happen because Marvel is more interested in adapting Carol Danvers or her modern counterpart.
He is a brilliant man, I've watched his documentary called Cosmos, I was really intrigued by his knowledge, I have always had a certain interest in astrophysics
jesus christ......everytime i watch this i start to cry! there too many people that need to apologize do Zach! this right here make me thank him for give us this beautiful service! as a DC fan I was really grateful!
@gogo dodo I beg to disagree...to set up for the epic fight, they needed Batman to be a dark place after the death of Robin and all which would fuck up his judgement and make him overlook that facts and instead, go against Superman.
Who comes back here after watching The Flash movie? this is such a very underrated scene & masterpiece, sadly. This scene alone is so powerful because it blends reality & imagination so well, which is rarely found even in superhero movies today.
I loved that this movie showed how Superman would be realisticaly treated. He may be a good guy who's trying to help people but there would always be that uncomfortable primal feeling of knowing that this guy could also enslave or wipe out humanity if he wanted to. It's like standing near a tamed lion you know he's not supposed to hurt you but there will always be that primal fear of knowing that if he wanted to he could kill you and you couldnt do anything about it.
This a very down-to-earth scene.It shows exactly the way humans think.I truly believe that even if Superman DID somehow exist in this world people would treat him as a threat despite all the good he has done.
yea, I truly can't see what's with all the hates for DCEU Man of Steel and BvS have been pretty good to me mostly on the realistic side of course some idiots would say that superpowered people flying around is not realistic, but that's not the point
This is the ultimate meaning behind the Snyderverse and specifically his Superman. People don’t like it because it’s realistic, it asks complicated ethical questions. It has something meaningful to say and it reflects today’s world. Superman has always been a social commentary of some kind. We can’t expect the 80s Superman to look like the 2010s Superman. In this way, Snyder entirely understands the character
1:56 this scene alone is powerful enough to say BVS was one of best (100% in top5) comicbook movies of 2010s. Yet those jackasses destroyed this movie by negatively judging, just to earn some money.

@M.K.M. wtf? i think sincerely that you are in the wrong place pour your evangelism; i'm sorry for my english, i'm from Belgium; And Khal is not without sins, he killed;
This montage shows that Jonathan Kent was right when he said: "When the world finds out what you can do, it's going to change everything. Our beliefs, our notions of what it means to be human...everything." Zack, you wonderful man, you.
@PADRINO TDFW2 Damn right he was, Jonathan Kent may have been a simple farmer from Kansas but damn did he knew things. He was right about his son in every way, excellent foreshadowing. ✌️O.o
This is precisely why I think he can become evil in the future justice leagues. It’s not just about Lois but the fact that at this point, Jonathan’s death was in vain as humans still don’t trust Clark. That’s enough to make anybody question their morals
I think that's why the world needs Superman, and Superman knows it. We live in a time where kindness is deemed a form of weakness, anger and hatred is popular, and thinking that every person is doing something for an ulterior motive. And when we find that one person, the most powerful man in the world, is going out of his way to save people and give them hope, it boggles our minds!!
@Yagami Eren Well, that and Alan Moore, the man who wrote the Watchmen, is a despicable asshole pessimist.
@Yagami Eren Why should it be impossible? If a person can do evil things for no reason at all, "just to watch the world burn" as Alfred said. Can't a man be good for the same reason?
I think that the reason why good people are so hard to comprehend these days is because people as a mass don't want them to.
That shot at 2:12 of the woman reaching up to Superman like he’s an angel is one of the best shots I’ve seen In a comic book movie
And the music while the scene plays is fucking unreal
I don't think any other directors have loved the source material as much as Synder
it is
Even the dialogue behind it is fitting. Basically saying how can you prevent an angel from doing his job based on earthly principles?
i still dont get why this movie got the hate it did
"In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually they will hate you for it."

Al Speid Even in another franchise, Dafoe speaks the truth.
Can't wait to hear him drop some truth in Aquaman!

Al Speid I guess technically it would be both. He's playing one of Aquamans top people; Vulko, I believe.
You Couldn't of said it better myself, just watched spidey though great film
I love the fact that when he saves the girl he is smiling but when he is being worshipped he stops smiling and turns away because Clark doesn’t want to be worshipped because he is just a farmer from Kansas
I think what is also most beautiful about that scene is when he kneels down, as he is surrounded by the crowd. It not only shows that he is willing to (literally) lower himself to save others and make them feel safe, but that he's willing to make himself look humble and vulnerable among the people.
Love the discussion in the comments section. This is exactly what films should be about, having one’s own interpretation and sharing it with the world.
Well spotted!
NOt only that...He smiles seeing the mother so happy who feels elated at her daughter who was just about to die. This is such a heartful moment
That’s because superman as a character is supposed to be more human then anyone and be the light of hope for everyone
If Superman was real this is how people would react to him. Fox and CNN would be talking about him 24/7 discussing like this either as a threat or savior
@Flawrence Isenhart I'm pretty sure if he was real there will be mix feelings about him. Some cultures and religion like the guy says believe in a savior type. Some would feel threatened by his presence. He literally could blow the earth apart, burn the earth with his heat vision, punch through the earth's core. There's many ways Superman could wipe out the planet.

Agree because one of reasons why is people need to ask the do the world needs superheroes?
@Justine Anddrei Logan Him going around saving everyone is precisely why people perceive him that way.
Another proof that it should have been Man of steel 2, not BVS. There are just so many unnecessary things and ideas in this movie. Wasted potential.

Well, Bruce Wayne/Batman saw first hand all the destruction both Superman and Zod caused during the battle of Metropolis and how many innocents died (Jack, a very close friend of Bruce and a Wayne Industries employee) and others were injured (Wallace, a Wayne Enterprises security guard who lost his legs).
So yeah, Batman's motivations against Superman were justified from his point of view.
If Superman decided to go rogue, who would stopped him?? This is Batman's mission towards the Kriptonian.
@@L30n4rdo6 destruction damage was on Zod. Besides, how much damage causes all those villains who were not killed by Batman when he had a chance, and they escaped? IF Superman goes rogue, then Bruce can go berserk on him. Punishment must be always AFTER crime.

@Bonk ai69 Ikr? Loki can throw Tony Stark through a window and beat Captain america in Avengers but got his ass beat by every random human in the Loki serie.
This is actually my favorite scene in the entire movie. It really highlights that the problem isn't Superman. The world has gotten so cynical and paranoid that Superman literally cannot function the way he usually would. This entire montage has Superman accomplishing feats that you find in the comics and even in the classic Christopher Reeve movies. He's tugging a trapped ship, saving an exploding space-craft, pulling people from fires, and saving people from a flood. But rather than the people being happy and in awe of his arrival, signaled by triumphant music, everyone is second-guessing everything he does. They're lofting all these ulterior motives his way and projecting all this crap making the whole thing feel like a chore and makes Superman wonder why he bothered.
People kept complaining, "Oh, why doesn't Superman smile more?" To which I say, What the hell do the people of Earth give him to smile about?
Love this comment.
damn. what a great post.
Very well put bro!!
But isn’t it highlighting that you can never please (all) people - however he’s clearly being treated like a god by lots of people (even in the scene), they are calling out to him for help. Clark is watching the news debating his purpose, fine, but Clark is also a journalist who knows how the media works, surely he’d expect this reaction to some degree??? Clark then pursues batman accusing him of ‘taking justice into his own hands’ and ‘trampling on civic liberties’, little hypocritical no? Ironically, he’s projecting his own fears onto batman....Bruce pushes back and says the daily planet glorifies him everytime he does the most simple of good deeds, so it works both ways. Don’t forget - in this film universe, a small group of Clark’s race destroyed an entire city and tried to reform earth into Krypton. Of course people would be worried....they would be scared he’d do the same at some point (ever seen injustice?)
Well said.

I think that scene is a metaphor for the battle of Metropolis. He managed to save the girl but he looks back at the burning factory and thinks of all the people he couldn't save. They treat him like a god but he doesn't think he's worthy cause he's just a guy who does his best to do the right thing. He's not perfect, he's not all powerful. In the end Zack Snyder's representation of the JL as gods is not an actual statement on the characters behind the mask, but on their responsibility towards the world. They can't control what people think of them, they just have to say true to themselves for a better tomorrow.

It’s not that they’re crazy or blind; it’s just that the rest of the dceu is a complete mess. Fair enough you’ve got Cavill as the consistently good part, but what are they going to do? Recast everybody else and reboot all the stories apart from his?

The same people who calls his movie "edgy" are the same people who enjoyed TSS and Peacemaker which is both of them are very edgier. Almost like the word "Edgy" has lost its meaning nowadays
People wanted jokes in every scene and comedic pauses…we fans just got robbed of something so good
Snyder wanted to make injustice Superman at the end.
Blasphemy, superman is not God just because he is stronger or can do things people cant, he is an alien from another planet. This is what would happen when the antichrist comes, people will believe him to be God because of the things he can do but he's not God. God is the creator of the universe.

Everything is Just PERFECT in this short time interval. Everything.
Chills.
Absolutely yes!
This has to be one of my favorite scenes of the entire film. From 0:08-0:13 you can see a visible smile on Clark's face because he is extremely happy to help but when he puts the girl down and the people start reaching out to him as if he's a God figure then he begins to look sad as he stares into the burning building. This shows that all Clark wants to do is help but doing so comes with so much extra baggage that he would rather not have. The very next scene shows all of that baggage where people question his intentions and his integrity and people looking to him as if he's some sort of God when in reality he's just a regular guy trying to do the right thing because he has the power to do so. But the fact that Clark still goes out of his way to help people despite whatever people say about him gives even more credence to his character. Absolutely brilliant.
totally👏👏👏
EXACTLY! Just wish we saw more of that.. And then the call of uncertainty with his mom is great and shouldn't have been cut! Clark got 100% tossed aside in the theatrical cut.. Unacceptable
Finally, I've been saying that about this scene ever since the release of the movie. He wants to help but he doesn't want to be anyone's God
Yeah, it's kinda' disheartening to see so many people miss so many great nuances that are in this movie. It's just the way Zack Snyder tells the stories in his movies: he never spoon-feeds his audience any exposition but instead has them think and digest the things that are in the scenes for themselves; it's not compatible with mainstream audiences today because all they want to do is be spoon-fed information and watch the story at face-value. People don't watch movies and think anymore, they just watch.
+Jon Reyes And ironically, this movie and Watchmen are the closest we will ever get to see graphic novels about superheroes. I believe that scenes like this one are meant to be interpreted as if they had speech bubbles showing the main character thoughts
The mainstream audience failed to realize what they did with Superman in this film.... because he doesn’t smile therefore this depiction of him is bad?? Does Captain America smile much in Civil War? No. Because they are both going through the same thing. These films change an icon and instead of having them praised by the media and politicians they are feared and hated yet they still fight for the greater good. Superman still tries to be optimistic and inspire good all around. His sacrifice at the end of the film is able to change Batman’s view on the world and bring back Wonder Woman into society......

It's kind of sad really. People see a man who just wants to do the right thing, and then they feel a desire to force him into a box just because of the power he has. When people first see Superman, they see a man with immense power and strength, a god almost. But the point of Superman is that, with all the power and all that strength, he's still very human. He gets confused, he feels sadness, and joy, and pain, and love. He feels doubts like any other person. But he always wants to do the right thing. He always made sure that he was kind, compassionate, and humble.
Superman is a hero that gives people hope, just because he has great power doesn't mean he takes away the human need to feel special. Ever since I was a kid, I always felt special because of Superman. I felt that, even though I have no power like him, I didn't have his strength or his sight, I could still be good. And I believe Superman gives other people those feelings as well.
That was beautiful
So true! He is an inspiration for so many in the world. I too grew up watching Superman. So much so that I embody a part of him. There have been instances when Superman lost his power. He still always tried to do the right thing. That’s who he is and that’s what he does.
In my opinion, Zack Snyder understand superman perfeithe same way John Byrne and Mark Waid Understand superman.
Well said
I feel like todays world doesn’t do that anymore with heroes. It’s all become so cynical; focusing only on the destruction and death and blaming the hero for something the villain caused as if they weren’t to blame.
I can't believe 30 minutes of footage which was critical to the story they removed completely from the film which is just a disappointment. Every deleted, extended, alternate scenes was important to fill in the Blanks. I still can't believe Warner Brothers messed up Snyder film.
that's waner bros executives for you, i dont decide not to watch a film because of the length?
Thing that pisses me off about all this, besides messing up the film, is people blaming Snyder for WB fucking with his movies. They fucked with BvS and Justice League, but Snyder gets ripped by "fans".
Snyder's film was already going to be bad, even if you put the scenes back in the movie is still meh.

@@9rempire892 I wish I could go back in time and make the Snyderverse continue.
Him saving that Mexican girl really strikes a somber tone in my heart. As a Hispanic, the way they reacted was absolutely as real as it gets. Mexican culture is very religious and the mother along with the people there seeing a literal miracle happening in front of them is honestly what would happen in real life.
They reach out to touch him because they believe he's their savior and want a piece of salvation.

@Justin Eden ...if that's true, then I have failed to see any of that supposed heart and soul.
People keep saying Superman is treating his work like chores and isn't enjoying being a hero. Last I checked, saving lives isn't a glamour job. It's serious business. And he's not doing this to be a hero because he doesn't care for being a hero. He just wants to help others. He's far too humble and honest to get a big head and an ego just because he's got supporters and a giant statue...
The "heroes" with the egos are those in the Marvel Universe, especially Tony Stark/Iron Man.
thing is, he's smiling when he hands the women her child. But the way he's treated, not like a human and is seen as an outcast. you can see his smile fade. but by him sacrificing himself, he regained everyones hope and showed he has more humanity then they thought.
Slade.way786 I'm glad you understand unlike so many dim bulbs who claim to know what they're talking about. Bet in JL they'll still find reasons to complain...
jbvader721 That's what makes Superman so awesome, he has so much power and yet he doesn't let himself become corrupted by it. He doesn't see himself as a god, he doesn't see himself as a hero, he just sees himself as a man trying to do the right thing and find his place in the world but how can he do that when he is being treated like a criminal left and right?
just a man who wants to do the right thing, but incidentally blessed with almighty powers
people can't treat him as a human, and he realizes this
still he carries on

Waiting for WB to release an official apology to Zack Snyder.
Shit, they better since it was their fault
agreed
yep
Waiting for WB to make a movie that respects Superman. Snyder´s "Superman" is a joke, an insult to the character and to Superman fans.
+Johnny ACL I have to disagree there. I've been a huge superman fan my whole life. This isn't the Boy Scout superman. In my opinion, I think this is how a superman would be perceived if he really existed. People would probably not like him and some people would. He's been superman for about a year and a half and he's saved the world twice lol. So I think he's still just trying to find his place as this god-like savior. That's a lot of pressure to put on one's shoulders.
Hats off , solute to zack synder. The way he showed superman at 2:13 is marvelous. Zack synder is a real artist. He showed superman as a god who has a very kind heart.
2:09-2:14 This is a great scene, Superman in the sky with the sun shining behind him as that woman reaches out to him for help, really captures the moment of how he is a god like figure.

DCEU is more of a realistic scenario of having superheroes on Earth. In marvel movies, apparently no civilian ever dies which is far from a real possibility (except infinity war).
This scene describes why dc feels more real. Like there actually existed a Superman in the world. Discussing his responsibility and how his actions can cause political contradictions. Justice league was a failed movie trying to walk in marvels shadow. Man of steel and Batman vs Superman where actually great. DC has always been a bit more real and dark... keep it that way!

The Snyder cut of JL is great
people who say that snyder's superman didn't stand for hope clearly didn't understand these scenes.
Being a hero is not just fly everywhere and save everyone. Sometimes, there is a moment a hero even questioned himself, whether his existence, his actions are actually reasonable. It is not because of the hero. It is because society is more complicated, real life, and the human mind is complicated. It is not just doing the good things and the world will be cherished.
One of a great scene. Superman, a hero with a God-like power, who can do anything, and decide to do the right thing, now is questioning himself and even asking his mom (a mortal) for advice.
Being a hero sometimes isn't being superior.
Only if people could understand it
Deserves. More. Likes.

@@tylerleach8796 maybe you are an idiot for not realising why he didn't want him to save him -_-

@@tylerleach8796 first of all we don’t know Clark Kent developed super speed at that point of the movie. Second even if he did…u don’t think people will not notice him run into the storm and bring him to safety and then question how that happened. People will start connecting the dots to Clark…given some were speculating Clark was behind the bus rescue and then with pa Kent being rescued. That would add more to the suspicion.
@@tauhid9983 John could have easily had brought Clark with him to rescue the damn dog. In fact, if he did, then it’s likely that whole contrived scenario wouldn’t have happened at all.
Another super moving scene here. Here is Superman just doing what he can, saving a kid from a burning/demolished building. He is smiling and happy as he brings the girl to her family. But then he is instantly worshiped as like a god by all those around. You can see in his face that he does not like or want this. Then the scene of the flood, the people and lady looking up to him like their savior.
And it at the same time has the press talking about if he is a mosiah, how his actions are crossing borders, ect. I mean he is getting in trouble for saving astronauts cause he does it without concern for what country he is in.
I really feel for Superman. No matter what he does or his intentions he is either ridiculed for them or worshiped for them. He just wants to do the right thing.
Combine this scene with the Capital bombing, when he finally has a chance to say something to the world, and yet is even robbed of that. Not only does he not get to finally speak, but he is again surrounded by death and destruction and the world again questioning him.

Superman floating in space listening to everything in Superman returns was more iconic
@@AiHelper123 it is iconic but its bad executed.
The brilliance of this scene and the movie in general is in regards to how Snyder took The Dark Knight Returns and FLIPPED it. Instead of news commentators debating whether or not Batman is helpful to Gotham, instead all the debating from the media is in regards to if Superman is a guardian angel from the heavens or a false god - and then both TDKR and BvS end with a funeral, but instead of the funeral pertaining to a redemption for Superman, it pertains to a redemption of Batman as well as the media and citizens of Metropolis finally accepting him as a hero after a massive battle nearly shook the Earth to its core.
Quite frankly, it's genius.

***** no problem
This movie is brilliant. This scene alone destroys a lot of comic book movie, and I basically love all comic book movies. This movie just brings something new to the table, and people weren't ready for it. All because they are used to the same old formula that is repetitive. People hate what they don't understand.
It's not so much that people weren't ready; it's more that you have to construct a character before you can deconstruct it. Or, perhaps, this should have been Superman's struggle in the first film, where much of the drama could have centred on the consequences of his mere existence. In any case, Superman never really becomes Superman in these films (and then he dies- -still mopey and full of doubts). On top of that, in both this film and MoS, Superman punches his way into a neat conclusion. Again, I really don't think the problem is sophisticated storytelling - it's more that Snyder doesn't know how to handle such things well.
+vivthefree are you kidding me?
snyder said that he wanted kal el to be challenged,he wanted him to struggle and pass the obstacles to become the superman we all love
so whats are you saying viv. u wanted DC to be like marvel and have 3 or 4 crappy superman movies before we could get this? maybe a few hundred reboots like spiderman? fantastic 4? at this rate we'd see a JL movie in 2038

"Maybe he's not some sort of devil or Jesus character. Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing."
Man, that hit a whole different level of complexity for Superman BECAUSE he's always looked at as a godly figure.
“Humanity always feared of that which is different.”
- Magneto
But here's the difference between Superman and Magneto. Superman never gave up on people, he wanted to be a symbol of hope to humanity because he knew that they need one. Magneto was molded and hardened by human fear and hatred, and now that human hatred is very much a part of his mission because he gave in.

I read a review blasting BvS for making Superman & Batman overly masculine compared to Marvel characters. I'd say this critic was guilty for perpetuating this false idea of manliness & masculinity. It's refreshing to see the greatest superheroes being introspective (that doesn't automatically mean mopey or brooding). And what does it say when Superman, the granddaddy of all superheroes and one the greatest and most powerful, still goes to his mom for answers? It's important to show kids being unwavering in your virtues and commitments is important, but so is telling them it's okay and not unmanly to be unsure and ask for help.

Please link me to that article. Since when is it a bad thing to be a masculine alpha male??
www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/04/25/why-marvel-is-crushing-dc-in-the-comic-book-movie-war.html
Here's the quote from the article:
“Crossfit replaced the Cheetos and the beta bros became alpha assholes.... And under Snyder’s watch, Superman went from the relatively scrawny Abercrombie and Fitch physique of Brandon Routh to the Crossfit lumberjack frame of Henry Cavill,” Abriss writes. “There’s a reason why so many of Snyder’s movies spawn work out trends. He glorifies violence and physicality and masculine muscularity while trying-to varying degrees of success-to condemn it thematically, ultimately making traumatic imagery look ‘cool.’”
All this while praising Marvel. The authors seem to forget Hemsworth, Evans, and Downey aren't exactly ugly or wimps but it's cool to pick on Snyder & BvS. It's not a bad thing to be a "masculine alpha male," but it is wrong to say that it's the only way to be manly. And to shrug off BvS because they think it's full of "alpha assholes" is also stupid and ignorant on many levels. And like I mentioned, nice little moments with Clark and his mom are lost because of these critics' agenda to paint Snyder's vision as a testosterone-fest.
Agree, i call my mother when im unsure of something, even though we dont have the best relationship as i did with my father.
Every single frame is a piece of art in BvS! Best superhero movie ever created
lol wat
You spelled "shart" wrong.
Im always thinking the same !

This scene was created to make people understand why every kids superhero was SUPERMAN.
1:31 - 2:10 is extremely powerful imagery
One of the best scene. That's why l love snyder. For the first time a super hero movie talks about an alien among us from a realistic view.
"Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing." Was such a great line.
ikr
The little touches are what I like most of this scene. The men taking their hats off the looks of awe the mother dropping to her knees as the saviour returns her child from the Jaws of death. Fantastic
This is probably my favorite movie scene ever. This whole scene. Them talking about Superman, this being that is basically a god. Meanwhile showing him doing these feats. The music. It’s godlike
It’s bone chilling. It’s scary accurate how the media and humanity would portray a Superman like being.
I feel like this doesn’t get much attention because Marvel/DC fans are too busy listening the haters like “Superman is overpowered” or “bad cgi”. That doesn’t matter IMO. What matters is the story and how the characters thoughts and feelings play out.
This scene shows so much more realism than most superhero movies. It's obvious that a being as strong as Superhuman would definitely be subject of hard politics and worship in a world like ours. Something that never made sense to me that it didn't exist in many other superhero movies
And watchmen even proves your statement more correctly and accurately
Is more Marvel that the MCU movies.
Another proof that it should have been Man of steel 2, not BVS. There are just so many unnecessary things and ideas in this movie. Wasted potential.They screwed up when they tried to turn from Man of Steel 2 into BVS/INJUSTICE/THE DEATH OF SUPERMAN.
This scene gave me goosebumps then and still does.... Ok ok the whole movie still gives me that feeling.... Zack you truly have a wonderful mind...
This is how the experts, scientist and politicians would have actually reacted on a real life super heros existence. Wow ..simply wow
Zack Snyder knew they couldn’t match the corniness of Marvel so he went with the opposite. The man is a genius. It’s a shame they ruined Justice League.

@@gontse1386 "My adventures with Superman" had a much more accurate portrayal of Clark/Superman without just being a christopher reeve clone.
Let me rephrase it for ya. Why is it so hard for people to understand this movie?
Why did Bruce "wake up" after meeting the Flash? Like I understand he had a prophetic dream and then woke up to see the Flash, but then he clearly "woke up" again... why? Was he getting Inceptioned?

And i love Snyder's superman
Because HE IS BASICALLY
WHAT IF OMNI MAN , HOMELANDER,
DR MANHATTAN, GOKU (DBGT and DB)
, LEONIDAS
are HOPEFUL AND OPTIMISTIC GOOD HEROIC PEOPLE ???
Snyder was way ahead of his time.
The people who criticised this scene for looking "awkward" and out of place n a movie because of how some shots looked are mindless idiots who don't understand what beautiful imagery means. You don't specifically _have_ to see Superman saving the family from the roof top to be able to get the picture. It should be fairly easy to understand that he is going to save them and obviously not let them drown. People are just assholes and want an excuse to pick on something. This was one of my favourite sequences from any movie, ever.
***** Right, but thats not really why this scene gets criticised. It gets criticised because apparently the slow motion frames look silly. Like, "Hurr durr this is a film not a comic book, hurr durr". Its still masterful imagery, regardless. And to address your comment, sure he doesn't interact with much people, but i'm pretty sure that was deliberate because that wasn't the focus. Regardless, he still does demonstrate elements of his human side when he is physically _smiling_ while saving someone, or the fact that he is a mama's boy as shown in the end of this clip.
We've seen Superman's boy scout personality so many times, i'm sure its not that huge of a deal if they don't thrust it in your face every so often, in this movie. I definitely get what you're saying, and maybe MoS could have benefited from that, but i think this movie had the perfect tone for the story it was trying to tell, especially in this edition.
+spideyfan2002 He looks uncomfortable because people reach out to him as if he was a God, when he's not, duh. Did that went over your head?
You have to remember that this Superman isn't used to being open and connecting to Humanity. Growing up in MOS, he was isolated and ostracized; having little to no friends and therefore, wasn't used to speaking up and being open. That continues in this film. And he only said he didn't care because he has no regrets about saving his girlfriend. He wasn't there as a hero. He was there as a man with someone he cares for. Also, the public distrust didn't truly start weighing on him until the African incident, as for 18 months, they didn't have an issue with anything he was doing. And you keep saying CB Superman like there's only one version of him. It's clear you have a preference, but don't state it as the one true version. Others may find it insulting...
***** You also see the public's reaction to him when he lands in the capitol, protesting and shouting at him to get off their planet. And you see by the expression on his face, that his obviously affected by it.
As somebody else mentioned, that "i don't care" line is not to be taken too literally. The meaning behind it is that he doesn't care what the public has to say about his involvement in Africa, he'll always save the people he cares about. Its obviously not meant to mean "fuck the public, i hope they die".
This Superman wants to be trusted as well. Again, you can see how public opinion affects him because of how distressed and frustrated he looks when the media and politicians are debating about him. It follows the basic principle of "show, don't tell".
Maybe, maybe not. Some people would rather their actions define them rather than speak about it to public officials. Besides, Finch didn't really need much convincing that Superman wasn't the bad guy, she had her doubts about Lex even before the hearing, and if you want Supes to clarify his actions, well, thats what the hearing was for.
You can clearly see the smile on his face after he drops the girl to safety, and only turns into an uncomfortable expression when the people start touching him. The movie is not defined by pure symbolism, just the more subtle things that aren't going to be spoon-fed to the audience. Thats when you have to rely on your imagination. In the real world, no one is going to sob and speak their heart out to you all of the time, most of the time, its in their face expressions.
spideyfan2002 He does care what people think of him. If he didn't he wouldn't be watching the news interview discussions about him.
This movie and the ultimate cut focus well on Superman.
Shouldn't u say focuses really well on me?

I’m not trying to be a party pooper but I do wish he would’ve gotten more dialogue. But besides that I love the way he was shown in this movie. He got a lot of character development.
@@magaliguel3369 oh no ur 100% correct should've gotten what he deserved.
I love that no matter how many times I watch these DC movies, I always find a new meaning to the plot or something I didn't think of before because of the mindset I am in when I watch these movies isn't always the same mindset.
Even superman called his mom late at night for advice
"And when the Savior character comes actually comes to Earth we want to make him abide by our rules" Just brilliant three and half minutes of movie
2:25 "must there be a superman?"
"there is..."
She's really good at not answering questions she doesn't want to
Some advice, whenever you ask a question and they answer in riddles. Always assume its the answer you don't want to hear, because that's the only reason they would answer like that. And if you believe otherwise, try to find another logical reason that they would answer in riddles like that.
Snyder nailed the political aspect of Superman perfectly.
Ironically, the tone that Zack Snyder was going for can also work for a proper adaptation of Captain Mar-Vell (the dude infiltrated the planet Earth for his people, only to gradually become a protector for the aliens because of an inner strength that touched his conscience)...which will never happen because Marvel is more interested in adapting Carol Danvers or her modern counterpart.
am I the only one around here who's geeking over the fact that Neil degrass Tyson is part of the DC universe
I geeked when I heard his voice in the teaser.
He is in the comics and challenges Supes intellect and wins
He is a brilliant man, I've watched his documentary called Cosmos, I was really intrigued by his knowledge, I have always had a certain interest in astrophysics
tbh, among the other speakers, I hated his voice the most
@Studio Autio Comment needs more likes.
And there you have it, the most powerful person on the earth still needs his mother's advice. What could possibly be more human?
jesus christ......everytime i watch this i start to cry! there too many people that need to apologize do Zach! this right here make me thank him for give us this beautiful service!
as a DC fan I was really grateful!
@gogo dodo I beg to disagree...to set up for the epic fight, they needed Batman to be a dark place after the death of Robin and all which would fuck up his judgement and make him overlook that facts and instead, go against Superman.
Who comes back here after watching The Flash movie? this is such a very underrated scene & masterpiece, sadly. This scene alone is so powerful because it blends reality & imagination so well, which is rarely found even in superhero movies today.
I loved that this movie showed how Superman would be realisticaly treated. He may be a good guy who's trying to help people but there would always be that uncomfortable primal feeling of knowing that this guy could also enslave or wipe out humanity if he wanted to. It's like standing near a tamed lion you know he's not supposed to hurt you but there will always be that primal fear of knowing that if he wanted to he could kill you and you couldnt do anything about it.
Whole scene is so fuckin genius made. I watched hundred times and It gives me goosebumbs every time. Damn you Snyder.
Same.
who else thinks that henry cavill should be superman in our real world 😍
Sarah Samuel me
He is
I sometimes wish that there was a Superman in the real world . He could save all people .
Sarah Samuel, meeeeee

Most powerful scene in this movie ,if Superman was real people would react like this ,
This a very down-to-earth scene.It shows exactly the way humans think.I truly believe that even if Superman DID somehow exist in this world people would treat him as a threat despite all the good he has done.
yea, I truly can't see what's with all the hates for DCEU
Man of Steel and BvS have been pretty good to me
mostly on the realistic side
of course some idiots would say that superpowered people flying around is not realistic, but that's not the point
Ever read Superman: Peace on Earth?
@@Fenris30 that is where Zack's inspiration for his superman
This is the ultimate meaning behind the Snyderverse and specifically his Superman. People don’t like it because it’s realistic, it asks complicated ethical questions. It has something meaningful to say and it reflects today’s world. Superman has always been a social commentary of some kind. We can’t expect the 80s Superman to look like the 2010s Superman. In this way, Snyder entirely understands the character
@ReggieTheMouseMyBelovedGo back to watching Gunn and his Disney shit
@ReggieTheMouseMyBeloved you real dc phans have pedo verse lmao,you can get what you deserve the pooperman
BROO YOUR ENGLISH IS WORSE @ReggieTheMouseMyBeloved
1:56 this scene alone is powerful enough to say BVS was one of best (100% in top5) comicbook movies of 2010s. Yet those jackasses destroyed this movie by negatively judging, just to earn some money.
You’re saying one good scene is enough to put a whole movie into top 5 of the decade? Hmm...

Critics And Haters: Superman Didn't Smile In The Entire Movie.Me: *noticed superman smiling at **00:10**-**00:12* Well.... Here Is A Lesson: "Don't Believe Everything You Hear, Son"
It wouldn't work. The critics will just dismiss it and say Superman was only "smirking." Bunch of goalpost-movers, they are.
@@zhengyingli Superman man smiled for the entire kissing scene, when he was going to sacrifice himself, and right before hitting batman after healing from kryptonite. He smile in many other scenes too.
And who cares? Even if he didn't smile it doesn't make the movie bad at all
@@kieroncampionisafuckingidi1328 apparently, almost EVERYONE thinks that superman smiling 24/7 is a piece of art, more like a piece of jackass embarrassment
I love how can you hear a twisted, even more dramatic, "darker" version of superman theme during the entire scene
