Marvel exec criticizes Man of Steel

Pretty much he just strengthen the case that Zod was a very strong villain. Man of Steel was dope as hell. Moving on.....

It didn't suck but i was rooting for Zod the entire time.
He simply wanted to help his people.

The world is different now. Less idealistic, more cynical. I think it demands a darker Superman. I'm not necessarily saying that's a good thing, it's just not surprising.

MoS was awful

"As a comic book fan, I wanted to love that movie so much. I wanted to love it so much, and I didn’t love it so much. Again, there are little things here and there that you could pick at and things like that, but I just think at the end of the day, Zod was the hero of the movie to me… He wanted to save his race, and Superman didn’t let him.

Zod, in this particular incarnation, struck me as not necessarily an evil man, but a man of… he had a particular… he had his orders, he had a mission. He was a zealot of sorts, but he was a zealot… again, correct me if I’m wrong… but he didn’t say, ‘I want to rebuild Krypton, and then come back and destroy this little planet. All I want is to rebuild this planet. And the only reason I’m blowing everything to bits here is because you’ve got what I want, and you’re not giving it to me. So please, give me my people, and I’ll leave.’… When Superman said Krypton had its chance, I was like, ‘Will you just f***ing kill him, Zod?’"

This review was absolute shit..

It was awful and that is why it didn't do as well as they planned on.

Agreed

It also applies to superheroes in general when realistically showing how deadly and powerful a superhero is the film will usually take a dark tone.

Holy **** this guy's a ****ing moron.

Superman directly asks Zod what he will do to rebuild Krypton, and he makes it clear, with no wiggle room for a different interpretation, that he is going to kill all life on Earth.

Real ****ing hero, too ****ing lazy to hop over to Mars or Venus and terraform it. 👆

Man of Steel is a bad movie, but that is not the reason. If anything, Zod was too sinister to be believable as the well-intentioned extremist he was obviously meant to be.

Edit: I just caught that it was Joe Quesada who said this.

Lol, no wonder. Idiot.

Why is it that the loudest critics of Man of Steel are also by far the dumbest?

Comic writers and editors are stupid.

Geoff Johns has nothing to do with this Nemebro.

But I will agree on that being a pretty bad review of the movie.

Seriously, half the time I wonder if they even saw the movie.

Quesada's job has been a success..

he has gotten people to talk about what he said and he is now laughing..

How ****en predictable from quan.

Now thats a good critique of a awful critique.

Lol it killed IM3 and THOR2 (both the Marvel movies out that same year) in DVD/BLU-RAY Sales. The sequel's gonna kill it. Because people only buy films they like 😂

While Man Of Steel was definitely not of the quality everybody expected, and yes it's script was a horrible piece of rhino feces, but I still got some entertainment from it, and I don't think it was a waste of money for the ticket. It was no Batman and Robin or Catwoman, as far as bad comic movies go.

Also, quan, your obsessive butthurt over DC is laughable. Especially since you are without a doubt the worst choice anybody could possibly have as an objective critical authority of Marvel and DC. Go back to playing your Khan action figure, because you sure as hell aren't smart enough to be partaking in discussions like these.

facepalm

Nemebro's correct, the loundest "MoS sucked!!" ranters didn't even pay attention when watching it.

I like this thread. Quite a bit of good thoughts.

I felt that MoS was a tad boring and flat. It also felt a bit...lacking in emotion?

It wasn't a bad film, at all. It just felt like it could have been better with just a few minor adjustments here and there.
