Idk what you’re talking about when I said you should die, but that family could have gotten out of the situation another way like:
•Running away before Zod started the laser eye blast like everyone else did.
•Crawling under the beam
•Taking about 2 steps forward and going around the thing they’re crammed against.OR since Superman has the strength to snap his neck, he also has to at least have the strength to:
•Lift Zod’s head a bit so that the beam is at a different angle and the family can just walk under it
•Push Zod’s head down a bit so that the family could jump over the beam
Well first of all did you see the size of that beam and trying to pass under a moving laser beam and hoping it doesn’t move an inch isn’t much of a plan, these are normal people, not solid snake. Also people panic all the time in disasters and it sounds like you are saying as a matter of principal that if the military comes across civilians in a war zone who panic and do something stupid they shouldn’t act to save their lives because they had it coming. Sorry I don’t buy into that. This is why I think video games are much better story telling tool for helping people understand what it really is like to be in life threatening situations. In a movie the viewer can just sit back and look at the whole area in detail and they are not under any threat, so the way real people react in these situations looks stupid to them because they have all the time in the world to take in details and think about things. Now in a video game if all of the sudden there are explosions and the player is in a place they don’t know like the back of their hand, they will have trouble deciding which way to run and will be likely lose a life due to screwing up. Video games just naturally do a better job of telling this type of story in a way people understand. That is one reason why I hope in the future films will more or less go the way of the dodo and be replaced by video games, video games are just better at explaining world details and showing people what it really feels like to be in a situation like this and why not everyone makes 100% perfect choices in split seconds in a crisis, no film has ever or will ever be able to do that so I think they should stop trying and just leave at least this type of story telling to video games in the future.
Second even if you could force his head to move that much without it snapping his neck or crippling him(and as someone who’s father has been an ambulance captain and worked with the disabled all his life and who has quite a bit of research in my time on this exact issue I can tell you that chances are if he put enough force into trying to move a head that was actively fighting him to move it, the result would most likely be the same snapped neck we saw), then what? The fight isn’t over and they just got knocked back into the middle of the city, all that destruction people complain about came about because Superman was getting his but kicked, what happens when Zod tosses Superman into something in that crowded room? Then even if he could stop Zod, he can’t watch him 24/7 and they lost any way to get him to the Phantom Zone, Superman had to destroy his own ship to stop Zod earlier and no prison on earth can hold him, so where does superman put him where he can be 100% sure that Zod will not be able to get out? let’s say Superma could watch Zod 24/7, how can he be sure Zod will not get the upper hand at some point, remember there is no Kryptonite in the film series at this point, so how does Superman make sure Zod doesn’t get the chance to kill anyone else? I think the only solution that would have worked would have been for Superman to kill himself and Zod by flying them both into the Sun(then again in some stories that would only make them stronger so who knows if that would have worked)and then Superman would be a one off character who’s brief life and death would have inspired the rest of the characters who would make up DC’s movie justice league. I think that would have worked from a story telling stand point, the question is would most of you have been okay with Superman killing Zod if he killed himself along with Zod, or would this movie still be a stinker and Superman still be a bad person?
Well that’s the best solution I can come up with, Superman takes out Zod in a way that also kills him, because anything else left the risk that Zod would get the upper hand a moment latter. Sorry but that’s the best idea I have, would people have been okay with that, if Zod’s death was an act of suicide by Superman?
