Superman (Man of Steel) vs Godzilla (2014)

If you want a movie based of boring lift feats and corny acting, stick to Superman 1-4 and Returns.

3,4 and returns did stink. But Returns have some nice... utterly overpowered (with the eye, 50 calibre machine guns and lifting) It was all pretty much a movie in all the creative ways he could stop people from dying. And you know... actually saving lives. (no serious MOS must of killed like a hundred people when he was flying through buildings.)

1 and 2 were awesome though. It is undisputable. But you are welcome to try.

Terence Zod stamps all over his ass.

Also, IIRC, didn't Kal's heat vision cut through Zod's ship? That's extraterrestrial metal right there. Not exactly sure Godzilla is as durable as that.

Yeah, he did. Kryptonian metal is extremely durable from showings, as the battle-suits took a serious beating and sustained virtually no damage barring the face-screens.

So you are telling me: If lets say... you were arguing for Reeveman in a debate. And someone used the Superman 3 computer fight to low ball. That would count?

Hey Reeveman was stronger but so was Zod and his two goons. MOS was fighting them with an extreme home advantage.

So do you think MOS could lift a small continent/large island? And then throw it into space.

Like I said I haven't seen Godzilla (give me a break I don't think its even in cinema yet in AUS, haven't been to town recently) so I could be wrong about him winning. Also the train feat Lestov mentioned has reminded me that they are quite strong. But nothing to convince me they are stronger than Reeveman.

You tried low balled with the oil rig scene and ignored the context of the whole point of Jor El telling him to push himself to see how far he could go. He spent a lifetime of hiding his powers from himself and the public. He clearly held the tower untill the heli was out of the way, ground gave way and he knew he had no where to go, so he sacrificed himself for the greater good.

Could he lift a Entire Island? I don't know and don't care. If it was written in the story for him too, then yes. If not, then no. He accepts the challenges as they present themselves. Thats like saying could Thor or Hulk lift and island? Does it really matter? Lol this was reboot from scratch, Routh was at the height of his power and had all of them. Writers are not going to show MoS learning to fly and then 30 minutes later lifting island. There was no island to lift. I swear that island lift leads to the biggest wank session in history.

Not to mention how easily Zod broke through it. I liked the movie, but I am not liking Godzilla's chances here.

Are we really arguing if MOS is in continuity with the prior Superman films? Are you phucking kidding?

That was the biggest avoidance of 'could he lift the island?',

"if it was written in the story yes, if not no."

It is really quite simple, at the max power we see MOS at, could he lift the Island? Probably not.

And calling a feat a wank session doesn't make it any less valid... or impressive.

I thought we were arguing who was stronger between Reeve/Rauth and MOS.

No it was Godzilla vs Superman and you never saw Godzilla and tried the low ball oil rig scene.

And its spelled "Routh"

Figured you would have known that since you saw the movie.

In my defence he isn't a very memorable Superman. I'll give the MOS this in his credit, he was an all right actor and looked the part... he just had the shittest director possible.

Superman tanked the World Engine. Don't see Godzilla doing anything to him.

I seriously don't understand why this world engine feat gets wanked so much, it really wasn't that impressive. Tanking Godzilla's atomic breath would be more impressive than the world engine feat.

The steel frame of the building gave way he held it just fine and saved the workers and helicopter.

The missile KO'd her from her sensory overload.

Missiles bothered Reeves Superman big time.

Go watch's the movie before you say stupid things and baseless claims druggie.

Huh? We literally see Machine Gun fire (obviously a high caliber) from planes knock back and down Nom... we see it knock back superman. Yet Atomic breath isn't going to do anything to him? Nah, no way bud.

Also, Superman was temp. KO'd by Nom and left lying on the ground not moving at one point. He was also KO'd by the falling Oil Rig. Again, Godzilla can produce more force than that.

LOL. Superman 1 and 2 were both awesome movies. Way better than the recent MoS movie. Though that was a pretty good one too. And I don't understand why Returns gets all this hate. I loved it. Only Superman films that were lacking, imo, were Superman 3 and 4. But, even those had some good moments. Especially 3.

I still enjoy watching all the Christopher Reeves movies to this day.

No. 3 was pretty retarded really and I can really support it all that much. No. 4 I thought was better than 3 but worse than the other 2 obvi.

I actually liked certain parts of 3 a lot. Especially the fight between bad Superman and good Clark. The best thing I liked about 4 was Mariel Hemingway. 😄

Supes is strong enough to handle KOing Godzilla, ill even go as far as to say that he'd tank Zillas nuke breath

Based on what?

Godzilla tanked various nukes and was only damaged by building sized claws. As far as I know, Superman didn't have those in the movie, am I wrong?
