This dude is the very example of humble. A living weapon if mad destruction capable of thinking for himself and instead of trying to take over the world he aims to save it instead. Just because you have the power to destroy doesn't mean you have to. And the world loved him for it. Not only did he fight against powerful adversaries he also managed to save lives at the same time.

This just made me realize how difficult would it be for Superman to actually live on earth. He could literally shatter everything yet he doesn’t. The self control would be crazy.
One of the coolest Superman quotes from an animated movie is about this. Talking about how he lives in a world of cardboard, I recommend searching it up
Casting a roided up white guy is not hard. Secondly he is literally designed to be a country boy so he blends in with average folk. Cavil is great. But yall act like Tom Welling didn't do a great job as Clark for a decade.
Bats: Look at you in your stupid outfit. Supes: My father gave me this outfit. Bats: Yeah, and your dad's dead. Get over your dead parents already. Supes: Didn't.. your parents die? Bats: ಥ╭╮ಥ
meanwhile the real military would be doing a background check on people born 33 years ago which would match the description of superman in the US. "You're an undocumented immigrant???"
It's not so much that he breaks the handcuffs, you knew that was coming. But it's so effortless and that little 'tink' they make like they were some cheap crackerjack toy (who remembers those) is perfect.
@@raven4k998 At this point in the DC movie universe, Kryptonite doesn't exist. He had to kill Zod using brute strength. If Zod wins, the world would have either had to submit to him or die. In the series Krypton, Zod goes to Earth in the past and basically becomes ruler. Superman hadn't been born yet and he was the only Kryptonian there. This was at a time when nuclear weapons didn't exist either so that wasn't an option either. Regular hand guns and shotguns and rifles would do nothing to hurt Superman. They might annoy him, like throwing specs of dirt at a normal human but no real damage.

This is the best version of Superman there is. True to life. Military would be terrified of him. So would government. He’s firm with his stance without being threatening.
Why do people hate this Superman so much? I started off watching George Reeves Superman, (No, not Christopher's, RIP) and I have seen every iteration for 50 years and there has never been one that has moved me more than this portrayal.
it's less that i hate this superman, he's tied for my favorite, it's just the movie is so dark and superman is not typically dark. so it felt off for me. it's ok if you disagree but that's my stance on this movie.
@@Iggybart05 That's batshit. Superman deals with dark things all the time, it's just that _how_ he deals with it isn't seen as dark. Superman having to kill someone is a big fucking deal, and it _should_ be as "dark" as they made it out to be.
@@_Jay_Maker_ you're welcome to a different opinion, but keep in mind i said superman is not typically dark, at least in my experience, and man of steel it felt like emo superman. also the kill you're referencing is the very end of the movie, had it ended that way and a sequel showed him coming to grips with that, then i'd completely agree. to each their own, i gave my opinion. you have yours.
@@Iggybart05 I disagree with none of it. What makes it seem off to you in its darkness is what makes it so attractive to me. Somehow it seemed more relatable to me.
It isn't this Superman, Cavill was superb. But there was a lot of issues with how Snyder approached it. One example is the immense collateral damage the final battle with Zod caused. This Superman was set up with chronic hero syndrome. He simply cannot not help. Which is perfect. But in that final battle at no point did he show concern for the people around him. Even when the battle was taken to space he didn't drop them down into the Grand Canyon, but they went right back to downtown Metropolis. Now if we want to put that to rookie Superman mistake, cool. But the way he was depressed in BvS....when he had his girl, he was finally leaning into the Superman thing and starting to make a difference... Superman and Captain America have to have extremely similar cores, they don't doubt their path. This Superman was a moral paragon, but he didn't have faith in it. Jor-E told him he was supposed to be a beacon, but I didn't get beacon of hope, or Man of Tomorrow from the Snyderverse Superman. Which is sad because Cavill could've pulled it off easily.
"You're scared of me because you can't control me!" Truer words have never been spoken! The most fearful people are the ones who 1. Wish the could control you. 2. Wish they could BE you!
This scene and the way he spoke to the army personnel is literally a culmination of the life his "earth" father gave him. Gotta give the Kents respect for the Superman they gave humanity.
He is honestly the best superman ever ❤ he has such a calm kind demeanour but also amazingly powerful this is exactly what/who superman is supposed to be like.
Actually the most powerful person in the room is mostly the most polite He doesn't want to start a battle so easily because he damn knows he will win it 💪
This Superman is more universal than the previous one. I still remember the laughter and booing by the audience in a cinema in London, when he said that he was there to defend "the American way".
This movie holds up to this day. It was a sincere rendition of superman. They didnt make a joke out of the character. They took the source material seriously with talented actors and a good script. Now everything is ironic, everything is wink wink nod nod and everything is insincere.
Think about it. It’s actually super impressive he was keeping on handcuffs the whole time if he could snap them so easily. Dudes hands must be unnaturally steady
Should have been another one with Brainiac as main villain. I know there is one coming up but it's way too late and it's a different actor. He might be superb in the role so I guess we'll see.
What a ridiculous statement anyone on this earth that does injustice will be placed in hand cuffs doesn’t matter how strong you are his honourable courage is the most powerful
@@MrCoolkille94 never happened in the movie. At that time even the producer, writer, director havent decided that he is martian manhunter. It was retconned only in Snyder Cut JL
He knows it looks like an s, but it isn't. Like X in English is one letter, but in Greek it is a different letter. They both look the same, but don't have the same name, nor are pronounced the same (most of the time)
General Swanwick being the only one who was not scared by Superman and didn't cower behind the reflective glass was a great touch, since he was later hinted and revealed to be J'onn J'onzz (Martian Manhunter) all along.
More like if it was a single strand of hair that was damaged from not being well cared for from nearly 100 years ago. Typically twigs require some sort of effort to break.
I might be one of the few who liked Man of Steel even though so many people claim it was too dark. But, the thing is, realistically it would be dark. When you have an entity as potent as Superman, your only option is hope. Hope you'll get a Superman and not a Zod. But that's ultimately the only thing you can do - hope. And that's terrifying.
Seriously lol. An alien that looks like us, been here for decades and no one would notice and then suddenly appears flying around and is indestructible.
The way he just broke the handcuff Edit: Look I don't wanna be that guy that doesn't wanna be that guy but GOD DAMN that's a lot of likes guys let's see if we can get 1.2k other edit JESUS GUYS MY PHONE IS OVERHEATING (Ps get 1.4k) OR U CANT
Yeah, the whole scene takes on a new meaning when you factor in that MM is nearly Superman level, plus the whole bunch of other powers he has that Supes doesn’t. Dude’s prolly thinking “I’ve been undercover as a human for DECADES, and this punk just flies in announcing that aliens are real.”
Well, we didn't know it at the time. I remember watching the first Thor movie again and realizing Hawkeye was in it. I wasn't familiar with the character and didn't realize the Clint they were talking to was actually Hawkeye.
Nope Christopher Reeves did the best version, portraying two different characters... Showing that wearing Glasses wasn't the only way to keep a secret identity
Henry Cavill has the best way of portraying the most polite “you’re alive cause I said ok” ever

Literally that, it's such a short scene but it's honestly what put Henrys superman on the map for me
At this point, I would be convinced if Superman is having a hard time not breaking those handcuffs while being on them.
It's like it took him conscious effort to keep those from breaking
"Confine" your hands in a delicate spiderweb, and try to move about without breaking it.
Takes conscious effort. All day long. Every day of his life.
Broke handcuffs, but still gave them some sense of safety by not just walking through the glass and wall.
It would have been even funnier if he then simply leaned down on the windowsill at the same time 😂
In a deleted scene he alluded to Martian Manhunter (they planned for him to show later) being among those behind the glass. So his slight polite annoyance with that in context was him saying cut the crap.

Your comment makes me feel stupid just having to read it, work on your grammar.
You're scared of me cause you can't control me. You don't and you never will. 😅🙌🏾 Right on ✊🏾
This is what Superman is.... Even though you know you have power to destroy everything, but you won't do it...
Did Superman know he was martian manhunter?
Probably, assuming martians have different organs he would be able to see them
Somewhere in the movie he said he knew, dont know when but i remember it
@@MrCoolkille94no
@@M_H_H why not?
@@MrCoolkille94 never happened in the movie. At that time even the producer, writer, director havent decided that he is martian manhunter. It was retconned only in Snyder Cut JL
Superman being a real boss 😎
“It’s not an S😡😡😡”
“I’ve been here for 33 years”😂😂😂
His symbol isn't technically an S, but he is aware of what an S is.
Well that’s a fair point.
He knows it looks like an s, but it isn't. Like X in English is one letter, but in Greek it is a different letter. They both look the same, but don't have the same name, nor are pronounced the same (most of the time)
Illegal aliens are not known for their ability to adopt a second language perfectly ( without accents or errors).
General Swanwick being the only one who was not scared by Superman and didn't cower behind the reflective glass was a great touch, since he was later hinted and revealed to be J'onn J'onzz (Martian Manhunter) all along.
Bro detached those handcuffs like I detach my magsafe plug
I don't know why people hated this movie, this was one of my favorite superman movies
Bro just snapped the handcuffs like a twig
More like if it was a single strand of hair that was damaged from not being well cared for from nearly 100 years ago. Typically twigs require some sort of effort to break.
"Whats that S stand for? Scared people might forget your name?"
I might be one of the few who liked Man of Steel even though so many people claim it was too dark. But, the thing is, realistically it would be dark. When you have an entity as potent as Superman, your only option is hope. Hope you'll get a Superman and not a Zod. But that's ultimately the only thing you can do - hope. And that's terrifying.
Seriously lol. An alien that looks like us, been here for decades and no one would notice and then suddenly appears flying around and is indestructible.
Almost his same line in the Blacklist.
"You have my attention."
General: what do you want?
Superman: To know how to catch Raymond Reddington
rofl
The way he just broke the handcuff
Edit: Look I don't wanna be that guy that doesn't wanna be that guy but GOD DAMN that's a lot of likes guys let's see if we can get 1.2k
other edit JESUS GUYS MY PHONE IS OVERHEATING
(Ps get 1.4k)
OR U CANT
He was trying not to broke them 👍
@@skwarex54 break
@@livefromthe757bro used 100% of his strength not to break the cuffs.
@@Siberian_HuskeyNever try to be clever again. Please and thank you.
shut up😂@@blueskadoo1402
I always forget that the general was MM until he talks and I’m like “oh yeah, J’onn.”
Yeah, the whole scene takes on a new meaning when you factor in that MM is nearly Superman level, plus the whole bunch of other powers he has that Supes doesn’t. Dude’s prolly thinking “I’ve been undercover as a human for DECADES, and this punk just flies in announcing that aliens are real.”
@@goatkiller666but in the end S kicks MM?
Well, we didn't know it at the time. I remember watching the first Thor movie again and realizing Hawkeye was in it. I wasn't familiar with the character and didn't realize the Clint they were talking to was actually Hawkeye.
These shorts make me want to watch the movie again 😊
Still love this version of Superman's story.
aaron glassman is finally sick of hospital life and now got to work in the superman case
the cancer changed him
@@aversivefiber glioma does wonders
You mean Dr Glaron Assman.
Supes : you cant controll me
Manhunter : aye, batman bring your stash of kryptonote
The last line goes like "You're scared of me because you can't control me. And you never will. But that doesn't mean I'm your enemy"
HEYY,ITS THE OLD MAN FROM "THE GOOD DOCTOR" I MISSED HIM MAN
It took him more effort to make the handcufffs feel real than it did to actual break them. 💪🤯
Just the movement of his arms broke the cuffs lol
I need to see man of steel again
Best super man ever
Nope
Christopher Reeves did the best version, portraying two different characters...
Showing that wearing Glasses wasn't the only way to keep a secret identity
best line evern you are afraid of me cuz you cant control me
I watched this in theatures and the entire crowd laughed histerically when we saw those puny handcuffs.
