"Can't I just keep pretending I'm your son?"
- You are my son." Gets me teary-eyed every time
Me too
Jonathan TRULY IS his father. 😭
Same .
Me too 😭
Fun fact: That piece of dialog is based on a real-life talk that David Goyer (who wrote the movie) had with his stepson. IMO that kinda adds to the emotion of the line because it’s a fictional interaction but it came from a place that was very real.
clark kent's youth actor really looks identical to henry cavill its uncanny
His name is Dylan sprayberry , u may also know him as liam dunbar on teen wolf
@Nåmêlëśš Sîñčė Ëxìśtëńčê Yeah, one could almost think it was Tom in his younger years.
He also act very well
MiroshChaeray but I’m pretty sure Tom was a fat kid I think, I’m pretty sure I saw a video about it lol
Not making fun of him either guys I was and still am a fatass lmao
Hennrys secret son? 🧐🤪
Kevin Costner's performance in this movie is criminally underrated. His performance is nothing short but perfect as Jonathan Kent
i mean, its hard to take him seriously, when dude has one of the most hilariously bad death scenes of any character. it literaly feels like a joke.
@@risto4216there was a very good reason that he just stood there and shook his head for Clark not to go rescue him. He was teaching his son that sometimes you just can't save everyone and that's ok. Learn to read subtext a bit better
@@FenyxBlaiseAscheexactly..he was injured and wouldn’t escape the storm alive and would risk others lives and Clark’s secret had he tried to help and of course it was over dramatic lol it’s a super hero movie
Agreed.
@@risto4216 he got injured and couldn’t run to safety. Clark was about to rescue him but he told him to stay back to protect Clark’s secret. He died for his son.
"You were sent here for a reason Clark, and even if it takes you the rest of your life, you owe it to yourself to find out what that reason is" Powerful words right there. Very deep meaning.
Except he was sent just because his planet blew up. It was to save kal el, not to send him as humanity's messiah or anything.
@EvilSapphireR which is an answer. And a good one. His planet exploded because of the laxity and abuse of his people. Knowing how they failed alongside what he is capable of being, that's a good motive to be good.
Conversely, it could have been an invasion pod like the sayains in dbz and he's been sent to destroy them, but if he knows why, he can make rhe decision.
Nobody should be put in a circumstance and not know why.
@@EvilSapphireR Well yes but there’s more to it, Jor-El wanted his hopes and dreams to continue through his son for a better tomorrow where people can have a choice in how they live their life.
@@arfhat89Jor-El wanted for his son to be a proof that humans and Kryptonians could live together in harmony.
Everything about Man of Steel is underrated! Its abandonment is one of the greater dissapointments in modern entertainment...
Jonathan Kent was such a Big Picture guy. He knew how the world works and how it would react.
DomzTS have you met jonathan kent? in real life?
@DomzTS I agree, kinda kills the point of superman right there. Without the Kents values, there is no "reason" for him to become superman. Suggestion that letting everybody drown is an actual option isn't something neither Clark nor Jonathan would consider for a second if portrayed properly.
@@Teschim I think they were trying to make Pa kent more grounded in real life views. he understands how clark's powers can help humanity, but is also afraid of what humanity would do to his son. he strikes me as being able to see both the forest and the tree.
@DomzTS nice spin you put on that. NO parent would advocate what you're implying. I dont give a shit about some cartoon fairytale version of a character. On the big screen characters have to be something ordinary ppl can understand. If anything MoS does one better because Clark already WANTS to help ppl....without his parents needing to instill it in him. His father is trying to help him understand the real world ramifications of his actions. THATS how you teach real responsibility. As a parent myself who finds these ideals very real and compelling......sit down
@Mike John oh whatevs bro
Being adopted and an only child myself, I cry every time Papa Kent's voice breaks when he says 'You are my son'. Those four words of acknowledgement, of pure choice, meant the world.
You don't have to share blood to be family.
I love that part, one of my favorite in any movie. So much love.
I come back to watch this scene from to time to time ever since I saw it in the trailers.
I just wrote a similar comment not seeing yours. Same here only child with parents that love me as much as Papa and Mama Kent love Clark. Those words mean everything to a young child, and a grown man.
@Pxer I was adopted from Peru which might as well have been another planet from where I went, staten island new york. If you are adopted all you want is the acceptance and love of the people who adopted you. You want to feel like you are theirs because all you know is that your biological parents gave you up. This goes back to abandonment issues.
you don't have to be a kryptonian with super powers to relate to this movie. we've all experienced being an outcast, not belonging to our family and feeling lost at least once in our lives.
this movie pretty much shows what it means to be a human more than anything else
The whole idea of superman came from his creators who were immigrants and understood what it was like to be in a place that was not their own that’s what we see in man of steel how Clark is struggling and trying to understand what and who he is
Agreed and sometimes doing the right thing isn't always simple because with every choice good or bad they come with a cost
Way more relatable than Batman’s origin that’s for sure
As someone who's going to college, this is kinda how I feel.
I have autism I still live with my parents at age 31. I don’t have a lot of friends around my age
The level of chemistry between a son and father...is not from this era.....really a masterpiece
I get your sentiment. However it literally from this era.
Why do people say that this is the worst superman movie? Personally I believe it is one of the greatest
Superman 2 is always my sentimental favorite, but this one may have topped it just for the quality movie it is.
People hate what they don't understand
This movie lack jokes.. People love marvel coz it has full of jokes even in sad moments..
@@ekow69 yeah. I like movies that I understand. That's the point. A movie people dont get is a shitty movie
@@romanvolovik6495 shitty people can't understand movies with emotions & love shitty people understand shitty movies with jokes & biased upbringing like marvel do
His parents totally love him more than themselves, it makes me crying
Thành Hồ thats What parents are supposed to do
As patents should!
Where you raised by a bunch of rocks?
It's not the fact that the parents aren't just giving him love, but even tho he isn't thiers biologically, they urge him to be greater and owe it to himself to find his purpose, even if it could mean he is taken away. I'm sure adoptive parents are real mvps when handling situations such as this. All parents are awesome, no matter bio or not
Its just a fucking movie.
We need a lot more movies like this. A LOT more.
agreed
Yes
There are scenes like this in basically every comic book film except for Disney MCU.
We need a lot more movies that have better writing than this
@@TheVagabond627 Obviously but what'a your point?
3:10
"You were sent here for a reason...
...Even if it takes you then rest of your life, you owe it to yourself to find out what that reason is"
**Shows Kal charging his flight 2.0**
Jonathan Kent: “You saw how those critics reacted, they were scared Clark”
Young Clark: “Why?”
Jonathan Kent: “People are afraid of what they don’t understand”
Royhazel Edmonds Young Clark:”are they right?did Zack Snyder do this to me?”
@@sebastianmaregatti You're not funny. So quit trying as such.

What a way to tell your kid he's adopted.
oh my god you didn't
This may be a weird question but would you be related to Andre Persaud?
Hell yea dope as fuck
Sooner or later he will have to tell him.
It's not a crime to tell your child that they're adopted, it's just immoral however to tell them that they aren't your child. Family goes beyond blood, Jonathan Kent and Martha Kent portrayed it by raising an alien as their own child without ever once betraying his faith in them. Even when Clark himself in his late teens (rebellious faze) told Jonathan that he wasn't his real father, his human parents never once said that he wasn't their son. Clark only understood this later on after traveling around the world & meeting his Kryptonian parents. I grew up without the presence of my father and had no siblings, but i found them in my grandfather and cousins. Clark definitely had it worse than most being the sole Kryptonian on a planet where he's basically a god, however he was adopted by 2 wonderful people. If you ever watched the Flashpoint Paradox Movie, you would see what would have happened to him had he been found by anyone else. It's one of the saddest Superman backstories in history.
I was adopted as an infant, never met my biological parents. I think anyone who was adopted knows the feeling of being alone, and hearing Johnathan Kent say "You are my son" always brings a tear to my eyes. It's not just being 'super powered' it's about being different than your parents and discovering your skills and talents that are only based on you. This movie is beautiful, and this scene proves it.
Those line by Superman's father in snyder cut during flight scene
Makes the scene more better and emotionally connect audience with superman again
Love you zack Snyder
After seeing Brightburn, Jonathan Kent's whole logic on hiding Clark's true origin REALLY makes sense.
Without spoilers, can you tell me why ?
@@fadidabban its impossible to say without spoilers
Sami Himedan spoil MOS or BB ?
@@fadidabban bright burn, its kind of a spoil but its nothing the trailer doesn't hint
Sami Himedan any chance you can explain your point without spoiling it ? Or maybe at a minimum ?
When his voice breaks when he reaches him and says, “you are my son”. That is 10/10 acting 💯
LOVE this scene. It just shows that he was raised by good people.
Outstanding delivery
That one part gets me teary eyed. 😭‼️
Kevin Costner knows *very* well on how to act.👍
So much love, tenderness, and earnestness. Martha and Jonathan Kent's portrayal in these movies are above and beyond, Costner and Lane really knocked it out of the park with these roles. They really feel and act like true, loving, honest parents. It breaks me.
yeah, it’s so touching when a parent tells their invincible demi god child to let kids die. fantastic shit right there.
@@blackman5183 Clark's not invincible.
@@blackman5183 would you risk your "son's" life, not knowing the full extent of his power for saving strangers
@@blackman5183I guess you don't understand how to listen to the tone and inflection in a person's voice when they speak. That "maybe" was clearly not meant as a serious answer. I guess you need it spelled out for you, but that "maybe" could just as easily have been the words "I don't know".
@@blackman5183try to be understanding instead of portraying this scene in a negative way y'all demonize every damn thing
“People are afraid of things they don’t understand.” BEST quote in the world
nobody even notices Pa Kent's hesitation when he says "maybe". it really felt more like "i don't know Clark, but you're my son and i'm scared of what the world might think of you so of course i'm going to think of your safety first"
Tucker Bowen THANK YOU.
R JAY MOLINA you're welcome :)
I love you
Exactly, exactly. I just didnt know how to put it. Thanks man, for putting it into words.
It would have been 100 times better if he just said "Well no...I don't know clark"
This movie is too real and people hate real shits, they prefer living in a beautiful lie
Real talking, much love out of that
Donut D. Beast this scene is real!
The rest of the movie is just not as good!
Nick Technubyte what’s wrong with the movie or are u on the hate bandwagon
Vbyzs what’s the one thing that Superman is supposed to do?!
Fly really fast saving everybody from the bullets and explosions!
@@nicktechnubyte1184 Did you watch the movie? You should have known that this guy was not (comic book) Superman, he was learning to become Superman, a realistic one. With the speed that required to save everyone from bullets or explosions combines his power, even if he saved them, their body couldn't handle that force and would have got whiplashed into liquid. He's not the Flash or QuickSilver.
Being someone who never knew their father and who’s been in the foster care system, this hits me in the feels every time.
🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Right out of "Superman: Earth One" and "Superman: Secret Origin". That aside, the scene was very well-done and emotional. I love how Jonathan doesn't give naïve, black-and-white advice just to soothe his young son. He tells him straight up that nothing is that simple or cut-and-dried. That there is a bigger picture. Like all parents, the Kents put their child above others despite their status as good people. So many people just don't understand this film. Or the comics...
There it is- you can't say yes or no. He obviously can't tell Clark not to save the bus, but he also can't tell Clark to save the bus. Many are arguing that Jonathan should have said, "Yes, you should have saved the bus, but..." But what? Any child at that age is going to take it as a challenge.
"But people will freak out if they see you with powers." --> "then I'll do it without anyone seeing."
What could you possibly say after that to get your point across??
And they say MoS doesn't have character development...
Are they sure they understand the movie?
The most underrated movie ever
Tapan Dabrai exactly
Never back down 1 = most underrated movie in my opinion however yea I would agree this is underrated
Tapan Dabrai and hates Superman for not smiling? The world was not kind to him and he tries to be kind to it.
BvS is even mre underrated.
yall DC fanboys will suck up any DC superhero movie knowing its shitty
People are afraid of what they don't understand ..
.. *Great line for critics*
Actually they hate and review bomb what doesn't aline with their way of thinking.
Or people hate what they dont understand
Same could be said for people who blindly fellate the movie.
" iT's fUlL oF ViOLeNCe '' critics of MoS
@@Theleaver5088 violence between characters isnt the problem, its the rampant destruction that superman both allows and contributes to. superman and zods gang get tossed through countless buildings, and the world engine just sodomizes the entire city.
This Movie is a fucking masterpiece
100% true
I knew I was in for something special!
Kevin costner is pure father figure material, who portrayed such a beautiful character.
This whole scene has more heart, soul, vision and freaking balls (regards to dialogue) that all the Justice League movie entire runtime.
EDIT: Josstice league. I'm glad we finally got to see the semi-conclusion in ZSJL :')
Casanova Frankenstein lmao since when ever watched guardians of the galaxy?
Amen
alas guardians was a good movie, but it was an action comedy. MOS had what Jise said 100 times more
God dam u lot r sad cant u just enjoy a film both franchises r good the mcu n dc both hav good films justice league was good also i dont understand y ppl hate on it
that is because TJL movie has 2 directors than this MOS n BVS..... :(
Anybody break a tear? when Johnathan says "you are my son."
Everytime
Nope
every freaking time....big fat tears
Yes, the scene is touching so much that oneself can actually feel this great caring love, faith, hope, and sympathy deep in their heart and soul ❤🙏
🥺
The Snyder Cut brought this full circle. We may never get a sequel, but with how good the three Snyder movies stuck the landing, I think that's okay. A short and sweet, if not gritty and dark, movie series
“Can’t I...keep pretending I’m your son?”
“You are my son”
Tears, every time. And I don’t cry for any movies I sat through Marley and me like it was nothing lol
This movie is a masterpiece, much ahead of its time. People will realize how great this movie is 20 years down the line...
I think the same, people will realized that and then ask why they hated it so much when truly it was a masterpiece.
Avishek Dey Mandal I know injust fuckingbhate the justice league what they done to it .. Zak needs a mega backer possible Fox or someone in Warner brother to let him inleash his vision .. I loved Man of Steel and if u compare it to the likes of Marvels stuff and wonder woman and of course Justice league it WINS HANDS DOWN.. is so beautifully created with amazing mysic score and just look at that scene it made me xry
Avishek Dey Mandal bruh the dceu sucks but this movie is good
Charly Brown Its good not a masterpiece
Carpet Cleaners Newcastle yeah no this is a medicore movie it's good at best but *any* movie made by Marvel Studios is better than any DCEU movie. Suicide Squad, BvS, MOS,Justice Leuge all of them are trash with man of steel being mediocre. The Wonder Woman's movie is the only thing carrying the DCEU.
In Batman V Superman Pa Kent's fear becomes a reality. "People are afraid what they don't understand" almost referring to (Batman).
I bet your parents taught you mean something that you were here for a reason. I was taught a different lesson, dying in the gutter for no reason at all, that the world only makes sense if you force it to.
And Jor-El’s statement as well. “They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join in the Sun...” Citizens of the world were getting so caught up being so focused on Superman, whether for better or worse. For the worse part, humans became to threatened by him until they finally failed to understand him as what he really was and what he was just trying to do. And as for that consequence, he died sacrificing himself just to protect others. And by that, ppl finally came to realize that he was actually just a man who was just trying to do the right thing. I swear to God Zack delivered literally every last premise that he gave to us in the earlier movie and all of these are actually connected.
"why did you say that name!!!"
I believe Falconi in Batman Begins also said the same thing
crashpal - It’s a shame how much that is mocked because I got what they were going for. Batman saw Superman as an alien godlike being who cared for nothing and acted superior, the last thing he expected Superman to do in his last moments were to beg for his mother’s life.
Why do people even hate this movie? It's a godamn masterpiece I would put it right up with the dark knight trilogy
People hate it because they want a Christoper Reeve's Clone
@@thecheeseburgertank633
But people also hate a Christopher Reeves clone...
*Ahem* Superman Returns *cough* *cough*
Some people can't just appreciate ZS(and the writers) for giving us a different take on Superman.
It’s up and down occasionally. One minute it explores Superman really well despite some setbacks, next they overindulge in the Zod thing. I think it was good film but it wasn’t smooth sailing. I would love the build up to him finally flying and learning where he comes from to further find his purpose. Then that development halts when he still doesn’t trust the humans and needs a priest to encourage him to take the leap of faith (by that part he should have taken the leap of faith without the priest encouraging him). Objectively can I say this movie is great? No. But as a bias superman fan, this was a good experience. A little needlessly long but good
@@thecheeseburgertank633
‘Superman & Lois’ disapproves your point.
@@theawesomebat1244 it is also a Christopher Reeves inspired show.......
The most underrated movie I ever seen!
This movie has aged incredibly well.
Bye critics no
I love this movie tho
@@thewolverine8414 fuck the critics
@Armand Anwari Dumbass
3:30 the way his voice cracked when he said “You're my son!”... Man DC always give chills...
Would’ve been nice to see Jonathan meet Jor-El. Jor would’ve been like “Thank you… for being his father when I couldn’t. For giving him the wisdom I could not give him at the time”.
I don't know if someone else made a similar comment but one thing that some of you may have missed is when Jonathan Kent realizes his tone towards Clark is a bit too harsh/etc when he says 'right we talked about this-' then he lowers it to be more in line with a comforting and supporting parent. Very good touch.
0:36 can we just appreciate the cinematography in this shot? its so beautiful
That's why i love Zack.
Zack has the best cinematography I've ever seen in the 21st century
GoonaTV And with the music
Zack style.
It’s called filters.
People seem to think that Jonathon was telling Clark to let the kids die. He wasn’t. He says ‘maybe’ because he doesn’t know.
Jonathan Kent should never say "maybe" to that question. Jonathan Kent is supposed to be the All-American good neighbor, the hard working farmer always lending a hand in need even at risk of his own life.
Jonathan Kent should say, "No. You never let people die to save your secret. Your secret is important, but not more important than a human life."
JStarStar00 this isn’t your grandfathers superman. This is a different take on the character. This isn’t a superman movie. That’s why it’s called man of steel.
Edgy Veggie The “different take on the character” may have something to do with the fact that Superman the character has been getting totally overrun by Batman over the last 35 years. (And that’s just among DC characters.)
In the early 1980s Superman was the No. 1 character of DC, by light years - it wasn’t close.
They made 4 Superman movies, the last two relative duds, before they even tried a Batman movie.
clark's secret isnt more important than a human life? u must have never seen what happened to superman in flashpoint paradox. thats what could have happened if clark exposed his powers too much to the world.
jonathan is simply torn between being a good man n a good father. as a good man, he knows he shouldnt tell clark to let people die. but as a good father, he also knows that if clark is exposed to the world, everyone would freak out, especially governments n shit. clark's safety would be compromised, especially when clark is vulnerable as a kid at this point. u can see the example here in clark's friend's mother, thinking clark is the next jesus n some shit.
hell, what jonathan feared actually happened in bvs. some r afraid of clark, some think of him as something he isnt, some think of what he could do if he bypassed laws n politics, some want him gone from earth, etc. everyone freaked out. if jonathan said what u want him to say, that would make him a good man but a shitty father.
@@amazo88 that's the point, everything you considered yet superman wouldn hesitate for a second to save someones life. But those values steem from him growing up at the Kents farm. This is why its important for Jonathan Kent to have those absolute values that wouldn let him hesitate in such a situation. Why would superman become superman in the first place if it weren't for those values. Imagine if they killed the core values of a certain idealistic MCU hero. Its what draws people to Captain america and allows for better conflict potential with batman based on their views on heroism: *encouraging & inspiring people vs striking fear into the hearts of criminals* That's the adaptation i'm looking for
How can people say Snyder's Superman is dark and evil, when this movie and BvS show us how he realies on his parents and Lois when things get hard, how he is scared and sad about not being able to save everyone. This is the side of Superman we see in a very few moments in comics, this is a masterpiece.
Best superman film ever made. Fact
01:00 this is an extremely hard question to anwser, i was never a fan of superman until this movie came out and now i realize how interesting this character can be. Jonathan doesn't know the anwser because he doesn't know how it is to have powers like this: how do you teach things to a teeneger with god like powers? This movie made me read superman comics and i can tell that the conflict of clark having god like powers is such a big issue, he could easily become a dictator if he wanted to. There are comics were you get to wonder if people of earth really deserve superman; and one of his villains, lex luthor tells the paradox of having someone like clark in the world. It is not as easy as it seems. In this scene clark ask for his father to tell him what to do but when you get older you get to understand that life is not as easy as it seems. Nobody can tell you what to do. Clark needs to learn to use his powers and to not abuse them and he needs to learn how the world works because is hard. He needs to be wise and humble.
"What was i supposed to do just let them die?"
Brandon Breyers: yes
Pink Yogurt Jonathan Kent: “Brandon how many more people are you going to kill?”
BB: “yes”
Clark: "We are nothing alike, Brandon!"
"You're not even my dad, you're just some guy who found me in a field"
Brandon brayers/batman who laugh vs superman/batman tag team
🤣🤣🤣
This movie is sooo unbelievable well made😲 the actors, the story, the script is really well written...this scene alone made me teary eyed😢
I knew we were in for something special!
I always saw the, “I don’t know, maybe” part as humanizing Jonathan Kent. As good as a man as he is he’s still human who doesn’t have all the answers. I agree they could have written it in a better light, but I thought it came across clearly. As an average human he believes what Clark did was right, but as a father who is concerned for his son, he also sees the consequences of what could happen if his powers are discovered. It’s a complicated situation and I think this scene was meant to show Jonathan admitting to his son that he doesn’t have all the answers.
I also felt that Jonathan Kent sacrificing himself wasn’t to prevent humanity from seeing what Clark could do, but to make sure Clark would be ready to reveal himself to the world when he’s had experience.
Is it the best Superman movie?
To me, no; but I still think it’s a great film that is underrated. I feel like I remember the critics and rotten tomatoes score for Man of Steel actually being pretty good until Batman v Superman came out and then that when I feel like I started seeing all the hate on this film.
Would you mind explained to me why is this movie inferior to the other superman movies? Because I feel the opposite. Genuinely curious
@@nathanj3528 Few people lost their analytic, comprehending and assessive skills while watching this movie. Coz their brains were used to understand movies according to what the story wanted to tell them(something that doesnt involve much of thinking while watching except during the twist) When this masterpiece was put infront of them where they put Supes in our real world, they could not understand what they r supposed to believe or accept. Very similar to the humans in this movie and its extension in BvS. How fascinating right? People only knew who/how superman was. They didn't know what made him superman. And this is the piece of information this movie is giving us. I feel this superior to any other iteration of Superman. It had the most convincing character development in Clark kent and Superman. This superman is not just only for America/Metropolis to put their faith in, but for the whole world. At least thats what i felt MoS and BvS did better than any other version.
Looking back on these scenes i forgot how good this movie is
Until later in the movie when you go deaf watching it
Such a waste of potential. If they kept on with MoS movies instead of trying to play catch-up with Marvel with a cinematic universe, I believe we could have gotten quite a few really different and interesting Superman movies.

@@brianswearingin322 As a lot of us were in youth. You have the heart of a lion in pursuit of what is right. May God grant you courage, patience, wisdom and fortify your love for him.
A wise and good father is Jonathan Kent
A horrible father. So much pressure on a young boy and he did nothing to help him, just put doubts and weight on his shoulder, but no real advices to overcome it.
Such a wise man. If it was any other parent they wouldve gloated about Clark’s ability already. But this man understood that the mere knowledge of Clark would literally shake the world.
“Did god do this to me?” I’m not crying 😭
Man this scene alone coupled with the score from Hans beats most superhero movies today. Also no one gives enough credit to the actor who played young Clark and Kevin costner.
This movie was a masterpiece
I knew in 2013 we were in for something special!
This was a very underrated movie.
Imran Khan i wonder why critics hate it :
Masterpiece.
@@geoffxandermarchan2831 my guess is that the iconic goodness that came through in this film is something for which the critics did not have categories to understand...
the atmosphere of the whole movie, the soundtrack, his father and their dialogues, everything hits home. i had a grandpa looking exactly like clark's father and i grew up in his hands, and all those aspects fused into one beautiful combination gets me teary-eyed and very, very nostalgic. one of my favorite movies
Anybody else feel how strong that “you are my son” line hits. That means you understand that kind of pain.
Timing is Snyder's worst enemy.
Watchmen was released too soon
Man of Steel was released too soon
Zack Snyder's Justice League was released too late.
That doesn’t mean the movies would be any better or worse if they were gonna be made the same way. Not every movie is something for everyone
@kolbytriplett4644 I think the issue is that Man of Steel was just too ahead of its time. I think a lot of CBM viewers wanted the films to be a good balance of witty humor with a good story to tell, which was the norm that was set for most comic book movies back then.
Man of Steel was a CBM but it also wanted its viewers to ask themselves the question of what would you do in the Kent families shoes? What would you do in Clark's shoes? And most people weren't ready for that and only now realize that yeah this movie was asking serious questions and put forth the idea of what would happen if Superman was real.
His new movie sucks ass though...
@@_Dune_Wolf so that means everything he makes is useless now?
So it means everything he learned, is pretty much trash?😠Some opinion.
@@darthdracul8372 it sucks ass plain and simple, you said all that not me. None of his movies are masterpieces let's just agree with that.
the more I watch man of steel, the more beautiful it becomes
Hans Zimmer's piano theme makes this scene.
The part when Kevin Costner said "you are my son" hit the heart straight. A tear ran down the cheek.
What a beautiful movie. Anyone that can't see the brilliance is sorely lacking in empathy.
I don’t always know pure cinema when I see it. But I knew this would be something special in 2013.
"People are afraid of what they don't understand" really good line.
This movie is a masterpiece, never understod the hate
The complaints about this being too heavy-handed and too much about Superman's importance are stupid, to say the least. What else do you expect A father to say to his scared kid who possesses powers that make him a god.
EgocentricHead power doesn't make you God
@@goofyduck6704 Superman is basically a fucking god.
@@banquetmeal663 Except Batman, a human with no "powers" other than intelligence, willpower and training can take him down. So not really a God. Plus the actual definition is a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity. Superman is none of the above
@@_UndefeatedGaul The only reason Batman beat him is because Superman initially wasn't going to even try. He coukd have killed batman with a single finger
@@_UndefeatedGaul lol no, the only reason he beat him was with Kryptonite. Literally no other way to beat him...if it weren't for that deus ex machina written into the comics Supes would be unstoppable by any man.
People totally miss the "maybe" line from Jonathan. He knows Clark can't, and shouldn't, let kids die. But his priority is to protect his son until he's ready. Because he knows how the world will react. He saw it with the neighbor family there. It is literally like if God appeared on Earth in human form. It would be chaos. He's worried for the well being of his kid, first and foremost. But he knows that he can't hide forever or let people die, because that would be wrong. People want it so cut and dry now. They want Jonathan to just tell Clark to just "be a savior." Except Jonathan is a human who understands how the world works. Jor-El is the one who at first pushes Kal to be the savior. It's the meshing of two fathers by the end that is the centerpiece of the story. Beautiful. People are idiots.
true
Dude. This is superman story. Being good is his struggle. And Jonathan is the one who inspire him. That's the whole core of superman character. If you want to be realistic and nihilistic just adapt omni man or homelander story
wrong. that scene doesnt work because it undermines his personality. its ironic but that scene happens ALOT. i was just rewatchign Lois and clark(yeah the 90's series), and they also had that scene.
the diference is that, in here, Pa Kent is telling him he should prioritize himself above others, but the problem is, it happens AFTER he does it. which makes the "maybe" into a yes.
while in L&C, when he says he shouldnt do it, not Clark but his mother comes in defense of his decision. because she understand that while risky, this is who he is.
similarly, that scene also happened in Across the spiderverse. where Miles is told that he should allow someone he cares to die, so the others survive.
and that scene also works because its given to him BEFORE it happens, which allows him to rise against that idea. as a hero he should never feel like this is a choice.
the movie then wrongs it AGAIN as Pa Kent does the stupidiest death possible, in the most convoluted way. which reinforces his stupidity as opposed to his love.
@@marcosdheleno that’s your opinion and you have the right to express it. Thanks!
I feel like simply changing the line from, “Maybe…” to, “No…. But theres more at stake-“ would have made the whole speech do so much better for Superman fans whilst not losing the meaning of the whole speech. At least I think so
The script of this scene is fucking underrated. When Jonathan said "Maybe.." it momentarily shocks you that a good man can say that. And then he proceeds with his sentence and you realize it was an open ended statement. But then you also realize he's a father. And that speaks to you no a different level... because at some points fathers will be willing to burn down everything, kill who he has to kill, let people die if it comes to it, for the safety of his son. When he said "You ARE my son!" ah fuck that was the nail in the coffin for me. I was with my daughter when I watched this and I cried like a BITCH.
20 years later, people will appreciate this movie and it will be one of the best superhero movies of all time. Mark my words.
it already is.
The dialogue, the music, and the acting just sums up how amazing Man of Steel is. We need a Man of Steel 2
This is THE best Superman we ever got
This is my generation’s Superman
This film was sooo good, the fact that people believed it was bad just shows how little they know what distinguishes a good film and a bad one. This made Clark seem more human than any other piece of DC media.
Pa Kent always knew that Clark will be a hero but he never wanted him to just expose himself as such "I HAVE to believe that you were sent here for a reason... and even if it takes you the rest of your life, you owe it yourself to find out WHAT that reason is" The reality of the situaton is so beautifully done in this film. I seriously cannot express how much this movie inspires me. Thank you Zack Snyder for what impact you have brought into this world. I pray that your vision for justice league will see the light of day, the people need it.
came here after brightburn to apreciate the Kents. Really they made superman. In hands of other people he could turn out just like brightburn kid.
Dracula
A big issue is that the Breyers were scared of Brandon, while the Kent’s made of effort to understand Clark.
MoJo Claw also brandon was a slave to his ship and his genetic coding
MoJo Claw The Kents were wiser than The Breyers. Even if these two families were similar in background, I feel as though the Kents were more.. “better” at Parenting.
The Breyers treated Brandon the wrong type of life lessons, even if there was good intentions. They fed his ego, like how “it’s okay to engage in your urges,” or how you’re “special.”
Meanwhile the Kents, they taught Clark, independence. They were wise and although they loved him like a son, they didn’t spoil him.
Like you can tell the differences just by the interactions alone.
I love how grounded this film is.
Man of Steel was so goddamn underrated and belittled for no reason. The Dark Knight trilogy and Man of Steel are both gold standard of comic book films and true art films.
How about Wonder Woman and Aquaman?
This film is so underrated, so many powerful scenes, great performance from the main cast. Henry Cavill is perfect as superman/Clarke Kent, I’ve never understood the hate towards him
I’m annoyed that WB and DC butchered it’s potential just to catch up with Marvel. The movie had a brilliant cast, phenomenal soundtrack, and fantastic action and visuals. Like holy shit, this movie holds up very well. P
When i was young = "Meh it's not my Superman"
* Few years later *
"Man...... This is a masterpiece"
We feel you man, we feel yoy
wow, actual character development.
xD
"Can't I just keep pretending that I'm your son?" - Jamie
"You are my son" - John
Straight out of "Secret Origin."
"I don't want to be different! I want to be Clark Kent! I want to be YOUR son!"
"Clark, You ARE my son!"
"Can't I just keep pretending to be your son?"
"You ARE my son!"
And people say Snyder doesn't follow the comics.
People only think about Silver Age Supes...
While Zack does take inspiration from certain scenes in comics, the film misses quite a few core aspects of the character such as Clark prioritizing his fight with Zod over saving people during the final fight sequence.
@@declanmorden What was he supposed to do it wasn't like Zod was gonna wait for him to finish saving people LMAO.
pyromaniac03 superman priority should always be saving people, it may be tough but he’ll always find a way
@@declanmorden In The Death of Superman, Clark forced himself to ignore the pleas of a teenage boy named Mitch whose family was trapped in a burning house to chase down Doomsday because he was weighing the many more lives that would be lost if he went back to help and allowed Doomsday to escape.
That's exactly how Superman handled Zod in MOS.
So yes, Superman's priority IS to save people. But when necessary, it's to save more lives than just a few.
here after the Brightburn trailer
Man of Steel : You are my son!
Brightburn : He's not our son!
I don't get it wht is the connection mos and brightburn
Md Rahul Brightburn is the horror version of this movie, as if what if Clark discovered his powers and misused them
@@marquisetaylor4398 thanks man but it's separate from DC right? Is DC produce this movie?
Md Rahul yessir, it’s definitely a copyright issue but I think they got permission first
Marquise Taylor they have a little bit of the same powers, other than that they are no where close.
Honestly never would've thought of Kevin Costner for Pa Kent but when I heard he was cast I saw it right away. Terrific performance and, though some hated it, I loved the 'maybe'. He's a Midwestern farmer raising a super-powered alien - this is way above his pay grade and he doesn't have all the answers. His concern about the world's response to learning about Clark feels so genuine. He knows it's impossible to keep Clark hidden in Smallville forever but while he's still a kid he just wants to protect his boy.
If everybody had parents like Clark does, this world would be an amazing and beautiful place.
Say what you want about the rest of DCEU, MOSS is a masterpiece
Ferguson Does definitely not a masterpiece
@@jorgemaldonado3758 it is. The best cbm origin story movie I have ever seen
Theologian no it’s not the MCU has better origin storytelling movie
@@jorgemaldonado3758 No. This is more emotional and has more depth than any other. I cant name a better superhero movie better than this besides spiderman 1/2, batman begins and dark knight, infinity war, and maybe black panther. I think it surpasses everything else, especially non-crossover movies.
Theologian the entire MCU is better than this shitty movie
Snyder\Costner\Zimmer = one of the best emotional scenes. EVER
who says that the origin of a poor Superman, he did not watch this film
Agreed.
This was one of the few scenes they got right. Then everything else goes to crap.
frank wolftown they got the whole movie right
Flashback FM And don't forget Christopher Nolan who not just as a producer of Man of Steel. He also wrote the story for the movie with David S. Goyer.
frank wolftown Reported you for sheer stupidity.
No one can replace Henry Cavil. He always remain best Superman
Tyler Hoechlin and Henry cavil are on par for me
As a father now. This scenes kills me. 😢That wasn’t my thinking in 2013. This movie aged like wine.
So u had to be father to understand such a simple thing? U r dumb tbh duh
If this was so hard idk how you would understand Geo-politics, history, environment, polity, economy, anthropology, sociology, international relations, arts & culture etc which are important for the nation 🤷♂️
@@srikanthsv79 wtf? When you have a son. It hits harder than anything. You’re probably a single liberal. Dude. You’re point is irrelevant to the context of the video. Get a life. Make a family. Be a father.
@@carlospovy9669 it's relevant, it just shows you are dumb because I was 15 when movie came out yet understood it, you seem very dumb.
After watching Brightburn, this movie and especially this scene is so satisfying.
For sure. This is arguably one of the best DC films created
underrated movie.
Hilarious how people still don't understand Costner's Kent, People really just want to see "Yes son, Do the right thing, Save lives, be a superhero, Be a perfect man" Snyder added so much nuance and depth to him while still maintaining the character we know, A realistic father figure who understood the true weight of Clark's existence, If Superman was real in our world, things would not be so simple, especially as a child, He was not ready to face the world.
Well said... Couldn't disagree with a single thing you stated. I'm convinced at this point that the people who complained about this scene just wanted fake, cartoonish optimism.
Exactly he is real father who wants his son to be ready for the burden he is about to embark on
It's not preserving the character... It's straight up character assassination. The answer when it comes from Pa Kent will NEVER EVER be "yes" therefore the "maybe" is beyond worthless. The answer is definitely nuanced, but it's never "yes, let them die"
@@elganso1000 yes it can be a child role is not to save other children from dying no matter what even if it puts his own life at risk. Would u tell your own son to potentially risk himself being thrown into a government prison and experimented for life to save another kid who God maybe wanted to die in a car crash?
@@eskanda3434 This scene is the equivalent of Johnathan Kent, the man who literally instilled his sense of responsibility on him, pulling the lever on the trolley to drown a literal bus full of children. It doesn't matter what a selfish person like you would do. It doesn't matter what I would do. It matters what Johnathan Kent would tell superman he should do, and that answer is NEVER "yes, let the literal bus full of children drown". So No, this "maybe" is NEVER "yes". Clearly you don't understand who Pa Kent is, but according to you it's OK because it's what you would do.
The best “with great powers comes great responsibility.” speech since “with great powers comes great responsibility.”

Nav Arya your not wrong but you have to admit it is a little cringy with the teacher bringing every single kid in the class to gather around the closet.
FBI what was she supposed to do
XOVO are you for real? OBVIOUSLY talk to the kid in private get a teacher or substitute teacher to carry on teaching the class or even have the teacher give them some questions to do while she goes to Clark. So many options why even ask the question "what was she supposed to do" think before you speak
Even just have the headmaster come and speak to Clark while the teacher does her job.
FBI a six year old kid just ran out the classroom. you think she has time to dial the phone number to the main office to call someone to watch the class? If they even have subs on standby. It's the 80s.
Man of steel is one of the best movies created. Shocking how it’s so under appreciated in its own time.
The story of Clark in his youth and his parents is what grounds the lore of Superman. It what’s makes him relatable. This scene really captures that.
Best Superman movie ever made right here.
Brightburn: I’m from another world with nigh unlimited power, that makes me better than everyone
Man of Steel: I’m from another world with nigh unlimited power, I will serve the human race as its protector and nothing more
Reason why Superman is THE best hero
Homelander : I am the World's Greatest superhero but also i am an Narcissistic and a sociepathic asshole who kill's people for a company that has been run by a Old cow who said that she was afraid of me . so i killed her
Unless you are injustice superman
Things would have been different if Jonathan Clark was Brightburn kid's father. Foundation, nurturing and good parenting matters the most.
Here after Watching Brightburn.
Its so BIG the difference how the Kents had so much more care talking to Clark about his powers & skills.
and to reveal to him his origins with patience. Clarks response: I want to keep being your son.
Right ? Watcning Brightburn really makes me appreciate characters like uncle ben and Clark's parents
Really shows the importance of care, love and talking to your kids for most of their most years until they hit their tweens and teen years.
This movie has so much meaning. This will always be my favorite superman movie. I truly have no words for this movie
I knew we were in for something special
that earth won the biggest lottery of the multiverse letting those two down to earth people raise superman
