Yeah this is what people want to see. An American symbol of truth

Yeah, the Avengers only ever killed dozens of nameless Hydra goons even though half of them are literally bulletproof and don't need to use lethal force.

>by snapping the neck of a man he's subdued.
He wasn't even close to subdued the instant he is out of the headlock he is a immediate threat to thousands in the vicinity and billions long term.

>>93965945
They kill a bunch of people and then quip about it. Tony made Quiptron who killed a fuck ton of people and didn't get punished at all.

> Thor killed the Void.

I wonder what The Punisher would be like if he had Superman's powers.

>>93966016
They never subdued those goons and executed them.

>>93965945
He's clearly not subdued though.

>>93965945
Man of Steel wasn't bad because it killed. It was bad because it made such a song and dance about everything which was unearned.

Superman screams after killing Zod. But why? It hadn't set up him not wanting to kill. That whole fight he was hammering away at him, and throwing him through buildings full of people. Why was that family so important.

Meanwhile Doctor Strange actually set up why he didn't want to kill, it came off as far more genuine and he still pushed forward. He rid 'the make out with bland love interest while people are still dying.

>>93966066
he would float in space and laser eye every badguy to dust

>>93966098
>It hadn't set up him not wanting to kill
He had not used violence of any kind for 33 fucking years that is a pretty fucking clear deceleration that he doesn't want to do so.
>and throwing him through buildings full of people
No Clark did not do this a single time in the Metropolis fight.

>>93965945
So he's pretty much doing exactly what America has been doing for 70 years?

OK OP Here is a directly comparable sequence were Cap makes the exact same choice even tho the stakes aren't quite as apocalyptic.

>>93966136
truth is an ugly thing

You're gonna have to remind me of what happened, because none of that shit was memorable for me.

Avengers are for children and Disney fags.

Eh screw going page by page, here...

>>93966136
>>93966166
No North Korea & Vietnam were not subdued in anyway they were a direct immediate threat mass murdering with intent to enslave their southern neighbors.

>>93966066
Every criminal would collectively shit their pants at once.

>>93966270
How was Zod subdued in any way? He was clearly winning that fight, and the headlock was temporary at best unless Superman actually did something with it.

>Mouseketeers so BTFO the past year and with recent events like Wonder Woman's success and Homecoming dropping like a rock that all they can do is bring up 4-year old MoS or BvS shitposts.

>>93966321
Agreed

>>93965945
It is quite disappointing, because to truly deliver justice the American way he should have raped him before killing him.

>>93966216
He was a doctor and actively trying to avoid killing one of those enemy mages. When he did kill him, he then struggled through adversity to go after a non violent solution even at cost to himself. Instead of just battering through a CGI battle he used his fucking brain. Unlike Manchild Superman who took until he was 33 to do shit. Well shit other then ruin trucks and be a mopey dick.

You have a really bad memory anyway.

>>93966321
yeah but muh avengers would have been better at it so suck it

>>93966464
>he then struggled through adversity to go after a non violent solution even at cost to himself
He didn't barter with Dorm because it was non violent, he did so because they would have lost a direct fight and the sanctum had already fallen.
>Unlike Manchild Superman who took until he was 33 to do shit
Except dumb fuck the reason he held off going public was SPECIFICALLY because he was NOT immature. He took a long time to consider the ramifications of his actions and his concerns about society being effected by the revelation of his existence, a man child would have jumped right into it at the age Pa died like he originally wanted to without considering these things.
>>93966476
Because there was a group of them that allows for them to split responsibilities, some fight the threat, some help people. Clark is a single individual fighting a individual.
In such a scenario there is nothing to distract Zod if Clark tried to leave the fight and help people.

Sure. I mean, why didn't he just respect Zods wish to conquer earth and exterminate the entire human race? How awfully inconsiderate of him.

I mean, he could have just handed him over to the police so he could be prosecuted in the court for intergalactic war crimes and be thrown into one of the countless prisons built to house superpowered intergalactic warlords.

Pretty sure no good person (which he is shown to be) wants to kill.

>>93965945

still an active threat, your wrong. end this thread.

>>93966233
Honestly Cap is a soldier, he's killed before.

Don't expect him to ever go psychotic murderhobo like the Punisher on every costumed villain he meet but if the time comes when he need to put a madman down to save the innocent he would do it

>>93965945

Superman made the right choice to kill Zod in context of the movie. No question about that.

But it wasn't the right story to tell for Superman.
