Hancock vs. Zod

Didn't Superman already kill Zod and Faora in a previous movie? How would that make this a Prequel?

But the main visual effect on the city was the gravity manipulation which is why things would go up and then go down.


Makes sense.

Yes, the whole process was very complex and the machines were simultaneously doing a lot; producing extremely powerful tremors; drilling; terraforming and possibly more.

Even if it is a retelling of the original trilogy, it will take several sequels to overwrite the original trilogy. Man of Steel 2 have been already announced.

You still haven't explained how MOS is a prequel, when this happened in the original movie YouTube video

I used the word "perhaps." Try to understand points instead of trolling.

That's not how reboots work. Once a series is rebooted, it becomes the current incarnation and the ones before it become previous. The original Superman movies still count, but in their own standalone way.

So MOS Superman only has 1 movie with feats from that 1 movie. We can't give him feats from previous series.

I prefer to consider character on the whole. MoS depicts Superman in learning phase; we can expect more from him even in reboot "series." MoS 2 have been announced.

You were bringing in feats from other movies and when called on it, you used MOS possibly being a prequel.

So either you think it's a prequel and thus feats from the original trilogy can be used, or it's not a prequal and you were trying to sneak invalid feats into the debate....which is it?

Explained above.

What you prefer doesn't really matter in this instance. For now, the only movie we have to go on is Man of Steel. You can't claim he'll get stronger or this or that until we see it. So we go by the feats he has. Period.

The MoS trilogy isn't the same as the previous movies and it's not a prequel for them.

It's an entirely new Superman being retold with a different story and plot.

This Superman doesn't have any of the feats of the previous movie Supermen.

Is their official declaration of retcon of original Superman trilogy?

Your "I perfer to consider character on the whole" doesn't explain anything, the only way feats from the original movies would count is if MOS is actually a prequel.

So, is the movie a prequel, or were you trying to sneak in invalid feats?

Reboot does not = Retcon. But you can't use previous version feats with the rebooted version. It's not hard.

Answer my question above. Show me an official declaration of original Superman trilogy being retconned.

So I am dealing with fan(s) imposed declarations and norms here?

Sorry, I am sticking with canon.

It's a reboot, it's not retconning anything, this is an entirely new Superman.

Everything that came before in the other movies don't apply to MoS Superman.

I'm going to ask you again, is MOS a prequel to the original movies?

i suspect English isn't this dude's first language.

They key word is "MoS" in your statement. Of-course, if I just consider "MoS" depiction then I am considering a restricted or limited portrayal (or incarnation) of superman character. This is just like if I only consider "SR" portrayal (or incarnation) of superman.

However, on the whole, superman have a lot bigger story and many feats accordingly. Of-course, their are conflicts between depicted events and latest depictions are given preference over older ones but canon should be respected on the whole. Superman's earth influencing feat is canon until or unless the story is changed in the reboot trilogy. But then, superman canon rules should be defined by authoritarians as is the case in Star Wars.

MoS is canon, just like all the other Supermen movies are canon. But they're individual canon. They don't connect. So you can't use Superman's fight against Meteor Man as a feat for MoS, since MoS didn't fight him.

That doesn't matter. This is Zod from the new Man of Steel movie. Only feats from the Man of Steel movie count. How do you not get this?
