    2 questions

    Hello. I'm new to this website and group. I've always liked the movie Man of Steel but have two questions. First, during the movie nothing the humans have cab hurt General Zod. As the movie progresses he becomes stronger and stronger until it seems he is as strong as Superman. At the end how was it possible that Superman was able to snap Zods neck but Zod couldn't do it to Superman. I mean during their fight scene they were flying each other through steel beams, skyscrapers,concrete with reinforced rebar without so much as a scratch and in the end what kills Zod is a neck snap? Just seems a little far fetched. Second question / issue, at the end when Lois falls out of the back of the transport plane, we see her falling and it "seems" that by the time superman hears her cries or sees her falling she is only a second or two from hitting the ground yet superman catches her. How fast does he actually move? I mean, he would have had to be traveling (I can probably figure it out but don't feel like researching the scene and trying to figure out about how far apart they were and do all the math) but it is almost like he just "wished" to be where she was and he appeared there. I know he doesn't have the power of teleportation and all the research I have done tells me his speed changes depending on the writer. Is that true? If he speed does change depending on the writer how can anything be constant in the superman universe?

      I've been a fan of Superman for as long as I can recall, having grown up watching the 90's Animated series, and the earlier films, and although Batman became my favourite superhero, Superman isn't far behind. The more recent Superman films have not been kind to the Man of Tomorrow, with Superman Returns, and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace being very poor, and Superman III also not being too great. This however is the perfect time to rectify that.PlotSPOILER FREEWhen Krypton starts to destroy i...

      Snyder delivers on his modern day take of the Man of Steel 0

      Man of Steel ReviewSnyder delivers on his modern day take of the Man of Steel in a large way. For years fans of Superman have been pining for a chance to see The Last Son of Krypton be pitted against a villain that didn’t require trickery; someone who could go toe-to-toe with a man who is a god, for all intents and purposes, and give as good as they got without the gimmick of a certain rare and precious element showing up magically by the truckload. You can rest assured that this is the case in ...
