So I’ve always been marvel fan. As far as DC goes, beyond Superman, Batman and a little green lantern my dc knowledge plummets outside of them. And I have some questions
First let me say I thought the movie was a solid 3.5 out of 5. I thought Milly Alcock gave the best possible performance she could. She played the role perfect. The plot I just found dijointed in places.
I love all Superman movies. The original Christopher Reeves, Snyders - man of steel and James Gunns Superman. Just so you know where I stand i don’t have a dog in the fight in any of these.
With that said. When Snyder made man of steel and everyone was pissed that Superman killed Zod because Superman doesn’t kill. It didn’t bother me I understood why it had to be done. That’s Snyders choice and I respect it.
So does Kara follow the same no kill policy in the comics as Superman because I question why she needed to in the movie with a sword nonetheless. Now here’s where my lack of knowledge really drops.
The movie her powers seem to be all over the place and the brigand’s I don’t know what if any powers they have besides being alpha bro incel sex traffickers, which was fun to see them get their asses kicked for that reason alone. But the bad guy seemed to be an ant compared to her so that is why I question why he needed to die and by the sword. She’s Kryptonian she could kill him just as easily with her bare hands or just have him imprisoned. There were many parts of the movie i did enjoy. That wasn’t one of them.
Next lobo. I know nothing of him, even though I liked Superman comics I never read one with lobo in it. But I see everyone always hyping him up. I question what purpose does he actually serve in the movie besides just moving the plot forward. Just reading fans accounts of lobo I always got the legitimate impression he was a serious threat to Superman. So I question what makes him a villain and why was he used in the movie? He didn’t seem that great. Just Mamoa doing Mamoa things
Edit - I forgot to add the only issue I have with gunns version of Superman is I don’t like that he changed Supermans parents sending him to earth to conquer it. I don’t know why it bothers me it just does.
Idk much about it but what I do know is she does generally have a no kill rule but she’s more okay with breaking that rule compared to supes.
The other thing that bothered me was. There’s all these other worlds and they seem to know of krypton and it being destroyed. Meanwhile kryptonians are like guess we will send our kids to earth. While these other worlds have space buses. They couldn’t help evacute krypton? Even the part that the survivors floated on for 8 years?
Krypton was the center of an imperialist power that conquered most of the Galaxy before it was destroyed. They’d retreated back to Krypton and become insular, but there was a lot of hard feelings among other races. It’d be like asking “why did no one want to save Britain” if the Isles started to sink. Sure, the capacity exists, but it mostly exists in the hands of people that empire treated very poorly a few generations back.
