Can you redpill me on Man of Steel? I love BvS, I can find most of the allusions, I find it smart and extraordinarily pretty. But I still have a problem with MoS. I am constantly asking questions "What did Snyder mean by this" and can't think of answers. What is the meaning of Tornado scene? Is it intentionally bad? Or I still don't understand it? What are the symbolics, inspirations, allusions?
/MoS/ thread, I guess.
Say no more senpai. First some mandatory viewing. This video reaches at times but its pretty good overall

I forget who pointed it out, but on the tornado scene someone pointed out that the scene starts with Clark rejecting Pa Kent and raging at him. And ends with him stopping because he trusts that he knows better. Jonathan was welling to die to keep his son's secret so that Superman would be ready for the world's reaction to him (shown in BvS). He also provided the example Clark lived his life by, taking the risk on himself to spare others (which is why Clark takes up the spear in BvS rather than handing it off)

That's pretty good. Pa Kent's "maybe" is what made me want to watch MoS when it was coming out

This is really the best video explaining MoS. Very well edited and good factual reasoning.
What are essential comics that inspired MoS/BvS?
I have on my shelf and have read
>Superman: Man of Steel
>Death of Superman
>Batman Year One
>Dark Knight Returns
>Kingdom Come
What are some more essentials?

Peace on Earth is the Superman Snyder put on film.
This thread is utterly pathetic, even if it's trolling.

There's a good article that ties Plato to it.

MoS is basically Superman Earth One, only that one made more sense because Superman was a teenager so he didn't come off as a mopy 30 year old manchild.
