Plot review
Krypton is about to explode, and two people want to save the Kryptonians. One is General Zod, who is a hawk. He initiated a coup but failed. He and his Krypton Legion were imprisoned in the Phantom Space.
The other is Joe Ayer, a dove scientist, the biological father of Superman.
Before the explosion of Krypton, Joe El put Superman in a space capsule and launched it to Earth.
When Superman was 9 years old, he discovered that he had superpowers, his senses became very powerful, he could see through, and hear sounds that ordinary people could not hear.
Here is a foreshadowing, foreshadowing that Zod could not adapt when he first arrived on Earth.
At the age of 13, the school bus fell into the river and Superman rescued the students.
Superman's classmate Pete often bullied him, but because of this, Pete changed his attitude towards him.
Once, the Superman family encountered a tornado.
Superman wanted to save Jonathan, but was stopped by Jonathan.
Jonathan was taken away by the tornado.
Jonathan's death interpretation space is very large, we will talk about it in detail later.
When Superman grew up, he worked on a fishing boat.
One day, the offshore drilling platform caught fire.
In order to allow people to evacuate safely, Superman pushed the drilling platform with his own strength to prevent it from collapsing.
But the rig eventually collapsed and Superman fell into the sea.
After Superman fell into the sea, we could see two whales swimming by his side.
In order not to reveal his identity, Superman changes jobs every time he demonstrates his superpowers.
Superman heard customers say in the bar that someone found something in the polar regions.
Superman came to the polar regions and found a Krypton spacecraft.
According to the analysis of isotopes of the ice holes around the spacecraft, scientists found that the spacecraft has existed for 18,000 years.
At the same time, Planet Daily reporter Louise also came here.
Louise was injured by the artificial intelligence in the spacecraft, and Superman had to expose her superpowers and stop her bleeding with a hot sight.
From here, we can also know that Krypton’s technology has reached an astonishing level. The artificial intelligence attacking Louise is not ordinary artificial intelligence, but a reconfigurable cluster of active liquid metal swimming nano-robots.
The weapons on the back pile driver (all galaxy engine) are more advanced than this.
The T-1000 in "Terminator 2" is also a similar technology.
When Joe El launched Superman to Earth, he also put the master key in the space capsule.
Superman used this key to gain access to the Krypton spacecraft, and then drove it away.
Superman meets Joe El, who has become an artificial intelligence, in the spacecraft.
Joe Al gave Superman a history lesson and told Superman all the ins and outs.
"Guardians of the Galaxy 2" Ego also paid tribute to MOS when he gave the history class to Star Lord.
Superman got his own uniform from Joe Al, and learned that the symbol on the uniform is the family emblem of Al, which symbolizes hope, and finally learned to fly.
After Superman disappeared in the spacecraft, Louise kept looking for him, and finally found his adoptive mother Martha, and thus found him.
Soon after, a Krypton spacecraft descended on Earth, and it was Zod and his Krypton Legion who piloted the spacecraft.
It turns out that Zord was imprisoned in the Phantom Space. Since the explosion of Krypton, they have regained their freedom.
Zod has never been able to find Superman, and the polar Krypton spacecraft is actually a scout ship. After Superman activates it, it sends out a set of signals, so Zod finally knows the location of Superman.
In many movies, humans do not need to wear spacesuits on other planets, making it as if there is oxygen in the entire universe.
The MOS is very rigorous. Zod wore spacesuits when he was wandering on other planets, and they had to wear helmets when they came to Earth.
After the Kryptonians put Louis ribbon on the spacecraft, they also gave her an oxygen mask, because the earth people could not adapt to the air on the spacecraft.
Although Superman is also a Kryptonian, he has always lived on Earth, so he feels very uncomfortable. This is to pave the way for BVS Batman to use Kryptonite to deal with Superman.
Similarly, Zord's helmet was broken by Superman later, and he felt very uncomfortable, just like when Superman had just discovered his superpowers.
Later, he opened his helmet once to see if he could adapt to the earth, but he still felt very painful.
Everyone knows that Zod's combat effectiveness is very strong, but he is not invincible as soon as he arrives on Earth, but has a process of adaptation.
And this process is extremely painful, so Zod must transform the earth into Krypton, and he would rather die than change his mind.
So how did Zod adapt to the earth? In fact, Superman inadvertently taught Zod.
Joe El transformed Zod's spacecraft into the air of the earth, so Louise didn't need to wear an oxygen mask. Instead, the Kryptonians needed to wear an oxygen mask. At the same time, Superman also regained his combat effectiveness, and the details were really rigorous.
Zod asked Superman to surrender something called the Central Book, when Joe El launched Superman and the Central Book to the earth.
With the Central Collection, Zod can produce Kryptonians.
If Zod just wants to mass-produce Kryptonians, that's fine, but he also wants to use a pile driver (all-galaxy engine) to transform the earth into a Krypton.
This process would make the earthlings go extinct, so Superman refused to hand over the central treasure.
Zod forced Martha to surrender the central treasure, and was beaten by Superman.
Zod's helmet was broken by Superman, and he had to send two men to fight.
The female adjutant Fiora should be familiar to everyone. One of DC's most sassy female characters can receive missiles with bare hands like Steppenwolves.
Another big Kryptonian is also very strong, his name is Namek, especially the three-stage jump that hit the plane is very impressive.
Fiora and Namek are both very powerful. If they are in other people's movies, they can be big bosses. Unfortunately, they are in Superman movies, so the scene is only 6 minutes.
In the end, the two of them fled, and they had to rely on Zod himself.
I believe many people have discovered that the military is involved in both MOS and BVS.
Although the military does not play a big role in fighting at this level, their participation will make the movie more realistic.
Therefore, the "Zhenglian" guide cut version should also have the military.
Zod found that the central treasure was not in the space capsule, but was implanted in Superman’s body by Joe Al, so Zod had two things to do. One was to use a pile driver (all galaxy engine) to transform the earth into krypton. Xing, the second is to kill Superman and extract the central treasure from his body.
However, Superman blasted the pile driver (all galaxy engine).
Zod’s spacecraft has a phantom drive, which is a bit similar to a curvature drive.
The space capsule that sent Superman to Earth also had a phantom drive.
As a result, the U.S. military used the Superman space capsule to hit Zord’s spacecraft, resulting in a singularity that sucked in all the Kryptonians except Zord.
Zod and Superman started a terrifying duel, and in the end Zod was killed by Superman.
Superman decided to find a job that could listen to all directions, so he became a reporter for the Planet Daily.
Easter eggs in MOS
After the offshore drilling platform caught fire, Superman fell into the sea, and then two whales swam past Superman.
When MOS was released, many netizens speculated that Superman was rescued by Aquaman.
When the theater version of "Zhenglian" was released in 2017, "Sea King" Jason Momoa confirmed this idea.
In the "Sea King" released in 2018, there is also a bridge section where Sea King controls whales, which echoes MOS.
In "Aquaman", Aum said that the MOS drilling platform appeared when humans polluted the environment.
The polar Krypton spacecraft came to Earth 18,000 years ago, and there are several dormant cabins in the spacecraft, and one of the dormant cabins is still open.
In other words, Kryptonians came to Earth as early as 18,000 years ago.
Superman is not the only Kryptonian on Earth, there is also a Kryptonian hidden among the Earthlings.
MOS prelude comics show that this person is Superman's cousin Supergirl.
Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that MOS 2 will be changed to others.
Screenwriter David S. Goyer admitted that the empty cabin was indeed deliberately arranged, but how to arrange the follow-up plot has not yet been planned.
He may have not really thought about it yet, or he may have said so to avoid spoilers.
In short, who is this person, MOS 2 should fill this hole.
However, for the time being, the probability of Warner’s bidding for MOS 2 is infinitely close to zero.
What "Amazon" single-player movie, "Birds of Prey" and "The Trench Clan" are the key projects, and Superman, the 18th-line hero, should be a little later.
In MOS, the egg of Luthor, one of Superman's mortal enemies, appeared several times.
When Superman fought against Zord, a Lex Group truck appeared.
When Superman and Zod confronted him in the middle, Zod was knocked into a building of the Lex Group.
When the artificial satellite crashed, the Lex Group appeared.
Some netizens said that the truck driving in the bar was also owned by the Lex Group, but I didn't see it.
The local ruffian molested the waitress and provoked Superman, so Superman made his truck into roasted whole lamb.
If this truck really belongs to the Lex Group, then Superman would have played against Luther.
Superman and Zord hit the man-made satellite, which was made by Wayne Enterprise.
During the fight between Superman and Zod, Zod awakened his hot sight and shot down a building.
When we look at MOS, we don’t know what building this building is. At the beginning of BVS, we will find that this is the Wayne Building.
Superman felt very unwell after getting on Zord's spacecraft. This was to pave the way for BVS Batman to use kryptonite to deal with Superman.
Superman knelt down after boarding the spacecraft, exactly the same as kneeling down after breathing the kryptonite smoke bomb in the BVS.
Where did the kryptonite in BVS come from?
This is exactly what happened when Zod used a pile driver to transform the earth into Krypton.
If Zod hadn't used a pile driver to transform the earth, where would Luther find such a large piece of kryptonite?
Luther can't get kryptonite, how can he use Batman to defeat Superman?
Although the origin of kryptonite can be explained in other ways even if the pile driver is not shot, such as the debris of the Krypton explosion falling to the earth, such as artificial synthesis, etc., the pile driver is still the most reasonable in comparison.
In order to find out the true identity of Superman, Louise found Martha all the way.
This detail shows that Superman's true identity is not difficult to find. Since Louise can find it, so can Luthor, who is more financially able, and that's why he can find Martha in the BVS.
Superman said: What if I don’t want others to know my story?
Louise said: Sooner or later, people will know, and sooner or later someone will get your photo or find your place.
This also implies that although the villain may not be able to beat Superman, they can find out the true identity of Superman and then attack his relatives.
The above details all show that Zha Dao has already prepared for the shooting of BVS.
When Superman and Zord were fighting, there was also a comic company called Blaze Comics, which is a comics agency under DC that produced the superhero Golden Pioneer.
He is Professor Emile Hamilton, works in the Interstellar Laboratory, and his father, Silas Stone, is a colleague.
Janet Kleiber in BVS and the fourth-generation Atomic man played by Zheng Kai in the lead cut version of "Zheng Lian" are also working in Interstellar Lab.
The real identity of General Swanwick, Secretary of Defense, is the Martian Hunter.
General Swanwick’s subordinate is Carol Ferris, who is the girlfriend of Green Lantern Hal Jordan and a member of the Purple Lantern Corps.
On the school bus, Pete was harassing Superman.
The female classmate next to Superman said: Don't touch him.
Pete said: Who are you, is his girlfriend?
Her name is Lana Lan, and she is Superman's first love.
You see, in a MOS, there are Easter eggs of Batman, Aquaman, Steel Bones, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Golden Pioneer, and Luther. Zha Dao has already paved the way for DCEU, but MOS hasn’t been released for 8 years. A sequel is released, and there may not be a sequel.
MOS's worldview
Superman’s home planet is called Krypton. Since Krypton’s gravity is much greater than that of Earth, Kryptonians are just ordinary people on Krypton, but they seem to have superpowers after they come to Earth.
It's like an ordinary person's bounce height on the earth is only 0.5 meters, but it can reach 2.7 meters on the moon.
For another example, you can jump to a height of 16 meters on Ceres and to a height of 845 meters on Phobos.
The low gravity of the earth can only ensure that Superman can jump very high, so why does he fly?
On the one hand, the gravity of Krypton is too large, so Kryptonians have evolved anti-gravity physique, which is the result of natural selection.
On the other hand, the star of Krypton is the red sun, which will eliminate the superpowers of the Kryptonians.
The yellow sun on the earth has an amplifying effect on the Kryptonians, which allows the Kryptonians to derive various new abilities, such as flying, and for example, more keen vision and hearing, the eyes can see through, but also emit hot sight, and the body is invulnerable.
And the longer you spend in the sun, the stronger Superman.
So when he was a child, he only pushed the school bus ashore. When he grew up, he could push the drilling platform, but he couldn't push it. After a few years, he could pull the ship directly.
Even with a nuclear bomb, he couldn't kill him, and he was resurrected in the sun, full of blood.
This story tells us that it’s good for the body to have more sun exposure.
So Zord is so stupid. He went head-to-head with Superman on the first day he came to Earth, and of course he couldn't beat him.
If he had been in the sun for 30 years like Superman, and then went to Superman to single out, wouldn't he have a better chance of winning?
But if he really has been exposed to the sun for 30 years before going to Superman heads-up, then Superman has been exposed to the sun for 60 years, and he still can't beat Superman.
Then why didn't Superman fall to other planets, just to earth?
It is clearly mentioned in the movie that the destination of Superman’s capsule is not random. Joe-El specifically set the destination as the earth because there is a yellow sun on the earth.
And Joe El knows that there are intelligent life on the earth, and he also predicted that Superman will become the god of the earth.
Krypton is a highly technologically advanced planet. Krypton entered the age of galaxy expansion one hundred thousand years ago. Kryptonians are scattered among various planets, looking for a new world for survival.
The polar spacecraft is one of the thousands of reconnaissance ships launched by the Kryptonians to various places in the universe. That's why Joe El has never been to the earth but knows that there is a yellow sun on the earth.
The Kryptonians have set up outposts on each planet, using piledrivers, that is, all-galaxy engines or world engines, to transform these planets and transform them into the same way as Krypton.
For 100,000 years, the Kryptonian civilization has flourished, but it eventually declined.
There are two reasons for the decline of the Kryptonians. One is that they have artificially intervened and controlled the population.
All Kryptonians are born through artificial insemination in the life origin room, and all lives are pre-designed to meet the specific needs of society.
In other words, all Kryptonians have already set their future roles before they are born, such as workers, fighters, leaders, and so on.
This kind of artificial intervention in reproduction is very common in science fiction works, such as "Divergent", "Western World", "Brave New World" and so on.
Zod's profession is a warrior. He advocates the use of violence to solve problems, so he will not reason with the elders, but will directly rebel.
After coming to the earth, he did not make any plans, but directly asked the earthlings to hand over Superman.
Superman did not agree with his approach, and he must destroy the earth, without any room for negotiation.
Finally, Superman strangled his neck and told him to stop. He also said: Never.
He would rather die than change his mind. This is determined by his genes.
"I only exist to protect Krypton. This is the only purpose since I was born. Everything I do, no matter how violent or cruel, is for the well-being of my people."
Joe Al is a scientist, so although he knew that Krypton was about to explode, he did not rebel like Zod, but tried to reason with the Presbyterian Church.
The Presbyterian Church is a politician, so they don't do practical things, just want to consolidate their position, so the Kryptonians no longer explore the starry sky, but close the country.
When Krypton was about to explode, they first did not believe that Krypton would explode, and secondly, even if they believed it, they would rather sit and wait for death than to go to other planets like their ancestors.
The consequence of artificial intervention in reproduction is that each Kryptonian's personality and thinking are highly solidified.
Moreover, the bottom of society will always be the bottom of society, and the top of society will always be the top of society, and the class is extremely solidified. Such a society is hopeless and is destined to perish.
Superman was born in natural childbirth, so he is the hope of the Kryptonians, which also coincides with the emblem on Superman's chest and the emblem of the Al family.
The second reason for the decline of the Kryptonians is that as technology becomes more advanced, the Kryptonians become smarter and smarter, and it becomes more difficult for the elders to control the Kryptonians.
To control the Kryptonians, the best way is to close the country like the Qing Dynasty.
So the Kryptonians no longer explore the universe, but huddled in Krypton.
They gradually abandoned their strongholds on other planets and ran out of Krypton's natural resources.
However, the Kryptonians still do not want to repent, and even absorb the energy of the earth's core, causing the core of Krypton to become more and more unstable, and eventually explode.
The explosion of Krypton is not unsolvable, Joe-El said: Although the natural resources of Krypton are used up, they can still search for other habitable planets like their ancestors.
However, the elders felt that Joe Al was spreading rumors. They refused to leave Krypton and did not tell the Kryptonians about the upcoming explosion of Krypton, so that all Kryptonians were kept in the dark and could only wait for death on Krypton. .
Later, Joe El was killed by Zod, and Zod was locked up, and no one could stop the explosion of Krypton.
Seeing that Krypton is about to explode, there are two people who want to save the Kryptonians, one is the hawkish Zod, and the other is the dovish Joe-El.
Zod launched a rebellion, and almost succeeded, and asked Joe Al to join him.
The Presbyterian Church is indeed faint, and Zod can indeed keep the Kryptonians alive, but it is a pity that he made a mistake.
We all know that the Kryptonian's artificial intervention in reproduction is definitely wrong. A person's future is determined before he is born.
Zod doesn't think so, he thinks that a person's height is determined by genes.
He said: We want to eliminate the inferior bloodlines, precisely because they let Krypton fall.
Although he wanted to save the Kryptonians, he would not save everyone. Instead, he would divide the Kryptonians into three, six or nine classes, and let him decide who lives and died. This is obviously anti-human.
Of course, without Joe El, Zod's approach could save the Kryptonians. Although he is anti-human, he is better than those elders who watched the Krypton explode and did nothing.
The actions of the Presbyterian Church will lead to the extinction of all the Kryptonians, and Zod can at least allow some people to survive.
And what is Joe El’s idea? All Kryptonians were born to meet the specific needs of society. They were destined for his life before they were born. They are like machines, without free will and Personality at all.
He felt that Krypton had lost a precious thing, which was freedom of choice.
Therefore, he and his wife decided to give birth to Superman through natural childbirth, and Superman was also the first child born naturally in countless years.
Superman's life is not defined, he can be anyone he wants to be, and he has unlimited possibilities.
To put it simply, an ordinary Krypton can only choose one from the shooter, assassin, wizard, tank, support, and warrior. Superman is the Krypton of the Krypton, so he can be a shooter, assassin, wizard, tank, and support at the same time. , Warrior, he not only has high blood volume, but also has a long range and high output.
So Joe El said to Zod: Superman is twice as powerful as you.
After Superman was born, Joe-El implanted the Central Book of Humans into Superman. The Central Book of Humans is the gene bank of the Kryptonians and contains all the DNA of the Kryptonians. As long as Superman is not dead, the Kryptonians are not extinct.
To rebirth the Kryptonians, two things are needed, one is the central treasure, and the other is the life origin room.
The Origin of Life Room appeared at the beginning of the movie and can be understood as a fertility machine.
The Krypton spacecraft in the polar region has the Origin of Life Chamber. It was here that Luthor transformed Zord into Doomsday, and Superman was also resurrected here in the theater version of Zhenglian.
This spacecraft was launched by the Kryptonians to Earth 18,000 years ago, so Joe-El knew that the yellow sun on Earth could make Superman stronger.
In addition to the yellow sun, another reason why Joe El launched Superman to the earth is that the Krypton spacecraft on the earth has a life origin chamber, and Superman can mass produce Kryptonians by uploading the central collection of the body.
Joe-El does not support artificial intervention in reproduction, so it is enough for Superman to mass produce hundreds or thousands of Kryptonians, and let them pass on through natural childbirth when they reach adulthood.
Some people may ask, will this not destroy the earth?
Artificial intelligence Joe El said to Zod: We and the people on earth can coexist.
Zod said: Just like Superman, is it painful to adapt to the earth all the year round?
From the conversation between the two of them, we learned that it is not necessary to transform the earth with a pile driver, and that the Kryptonians can be reborn without changing the earth.
But Zod felt that the process of adapting to the earth was painful, so he must transform the earth into krypton.
In fact, Zod doesn't need to do this. It is painful for him to adapt to the earth because he is the first time to come to the earth in so many years, and of course he can't adapt.
If he cultivates Kryptonians through the Origin of Life Room, these Kryptonians were born on the earth, and they would certainly not have as much pain as Zod.
For example, Superman grew up on Earth, so when he awakened his superpowers, he was not as painful as Zod, but he was scared.
And he felt terrified because no one taught him. After Martha taught him, he was able to control his senses.
It's the same with Zod. Superman inadvertently told him the trick, and he can adapt to the earth. So after cultivating Kryptonians with the Origin of Life Room, you can open a Kryptonian school and ask a dedicated teacher to teach them how to control their superpowers.
And don’t you think Superman is living well? After the Krypton Legion came to the earth, they also lived well, again showing that it is not necessary to transform the earth.
Even if Zord must transform a planet into Krypton, he does not necessarily have to choose Earth. He can completely transform Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn into Krypton.
Doing so will not affect the earth, and Superman will definitely be very cooperative to hand over the central treasure.
The reason why he didn't change other planets, he must change the earth, is also determined by his genes.
His genes are destined to be either black or white, and he doesn't know how to be flexible.
Zod doesn't need to transform the earth at all, but he must do so, so Superman destroyed the room of origin of life.
Superman and Zord are right and who is wrong. Of course, Superman is right.
Because Zod can make the Kryptonian and the earthling coexist, but he must destroy the earthling.
And the reason why Superman is right has nothing to do with whether he is on the side of the earthlings.
It is not because I am an earthling and Superman is on the earthling side, so I said he was right.
Even if I was a Kryptonian, I would still say that Superman was right.
The reason is simple. Zod is the aggressor, the earthlings are the victims, and Superman helps the victims defeat the aggressors.
So this matter has nothing to do with race. The point is who is the aggressor and who is the victim.
Even if the races of the Kryptonians and the Earthlings are reversed, if Zod and Superman are both Earthlings, Zod wants to rebirth the Earthlings at the cost of the Kryptonian extinction, and Superman stopped him, and Superman is right.
Because you can save your compatriots without committing genocide, why do you have to destroy others?
Isn’t "Avatar" the story, the earth people invade Nabi, the hero Jack helps Nabi to drive away the earth people.
Jack himself is an earthling, but he "betrayed" an earthling, but no one would say that the three views of "Avatar" are wrong.
On the contrary, if Jack helped the earthlings invade the Nabi, and finally defeated the Nabi, that would be the wrong view.
MOS is the aliens helping the earthlings to deal with their own people, "Avatar" is the earthlings helping the aliens to deal with their own people. On the surface, the plots of the two movies are opposite, but they are essentially the same because they are both protagonists. The story of helping the victim defeat the aggressor.
Again, this has nothing to do with race, but only with who is the aggressor and who is the victim.
Interpretation of Jonathan's death
Superman watched as Jonathan was swept away by the tornado but didn't save him. Many people complained about this story.
In fact, if you look carefully, Superman didn't save Jonathan, he was taken aback.
When he recovered, Jonathan had been swept away by the tornado.
He regretted it afterwards, so if someone encountered danger later, he didn't hesitate to save others.
Then why is Superman stunned?
Because Jonathan often educates him not to expose his superpowers.
We looked back and saw that after the school bus fell into the river, Superman didn't hesitate to rescue everyone. He still hesitated for a second or two.
Hein’s Law points out: Behind every serious accident, there are inevitably 29 minor accidents, 300 near misses, and 1,000 hidden dangers.
Although Superman hesitated, there was no effect. He still saved all his classmates, so he didn't learn the lesson, and didn't realize that sometimes a second or two is the key to life and death.
Although there is no loss this time, he will one day pay the price for this bad habit.
Finally, when a family encountered a tornado, Superman paid the price.
There is a process of growth. No one is perfect at birth, and Superman is not a Superman at birth. He also needs to experience various things to gradually become a better version of himself.
So after this incident, he never hesitated anymore.
So when the rig caught fire, he flew over immediately.
The captain asked Superman to bring the binoculars over, and he turned around to find that Superman was gone.
After Zod descended on the earth, he did not hide, but took the initiative to surrender to Zod.
Then why didn't Jonathan Superman save himself?
Let me answer one question first. If you wake up tomorrow and find that you have superpowers, for example, if you find that you can control fire, or you can control thunder and lightning, what would you do?
Many people may find it cool. From then on, you can become a superhero and fight crime. You don't even need to be a superhero, and you can directly become a super villain and rule the world.
But if you think about it for a moment, after you find out that you have super powers, do you really dare to expose your super powers easily?
If others discover that you have superpowers, who can guarantee that they will not arrest you for human experiments?
Do you think ordinary people can't catch you? How did Batman defeat Superman? How did the Pharaoh defeat Dr. Manhattan?
Being arrested for human experimentation is one of them, and the second is that since you have superpowers, it means that there may be people who also have superpowers, and maybe someone else's superpowers are more powerful than you.
Although you are kind, how can you ensure that he will treat you kindly instead of choosing to kill you?
After you expose your super powers, he knows that you have super powers, but he is worried that if you discover that he also has super powers, you will kill him, so he will kill you before you kill him.
Even if you think in your heart, if there are other people with superpowers, you will not take the initiative to kill them, but they don't know what you think, so it is safest to kill you directly.
This is like the dark forest theory in "Three-Body". If you want to keep your life safe, the best way is to hide your superpowers.
Jonathan is really a foresighted person. He has thought about all these issues, so he taught Superman not to expose his superpowers easily since he was a child.
After the school bus crashed, Superman pushed the school bus ashore.
Jonathan said: You can't let others know your special side.
Superman said: What should I do? Do you watch them die?
Jonathan said: Maybe.
Jonathan also said: Pete's mother was frightened, because people tend to fear things that are incomprehensible.
And Jonathan didn't just tell Superman not to save his classmates, he told Superman not to save everyone, including his father when he was in danger, as if he had no superpowers and was an ordinary person.
Of course, it's not in all situations that you will die. If you can't expose your superpowers, it's okay.
In ordinary superhero movies, there is a superhero and a super villain, so the superhero defeats the super villain.
This is called "shuangpian", this kind of film gives people the feeling of being a superhero.
In recent years, superhero movies have gradually begun to explore more deeply: is it really cool to be a superhero?
For example, the "Dark Knight" trilogy, "Watchmen", and Marvel's "American Team 3" all discuss this issue.
Of course, it also includes MOS and BVS.
You think Superman is a good person, that's because you are an audience, you are from the perspective of God, you know exactly what happened in the whole movie, but the people in the movie are unaware of this.
Even if they knew, they only knew one, but didn't know the other.
They have visual blind spots, they only know part of the matter, and they cannot see as comprehensively as the audience.
This makes them easy to misunderstand superheroes and are easy to be incited.
For example, when Superman defeated Zod, you can tell from a glance that it represents justice over evil, and there is nothing to discuss.
But this matter is far from simple for the people in the movie, because Zod’s plan is only known to a few people, and not everyone knows that he wants to rebirth the Kryptonites at the cost of destroying the earth’s people.
Although the pile driver has turned the city into a ruined wall, how do ordinary people know whether the pile driver was started by Zod or Superman?
Many people do not know that Zod is going to destroy the earth, nor do they know that Superman beat Zod to save the world.
They only saw two superhumans fighting, smashing a city into a mess.
Even for a person as smart as Batman, his first reaction is anger, because the existence of Superman has made the world's creatures disgraced.
Even Batman didn't see the truth in the first time, and ordinary people couldn't see it clearly.
What followed was framed.
Luther framed Superman and made everyone think that Superman was bad.
You can tell at a glance that Superman was framed and that Batman was stupid, so he was easily fooled by Luther.
Again, because you have a God's perspective.
Imagine that you are just an ordinary citizen in Gotham or Metropolis. You cannot know what Luther did. You only know that he is a successful entrepreneur.
As for Superman, you don't know whether he is good or bad, you can only judge who he is by what he does.
You saw him beat up the city with another superhuman, you saw someone on TV saying that Superman was killing innocent people, and you saw someone bombing the Congress. Superman was on the scene, but he watched the bomb explode. , Don't save everyone... Do you still think Superman is a good person?
You see, wanting to frame Superman is as simple as that.
One of the reasons why Batman hates Superman is that Superman and Zord destroyed the Wayne Building.
Why does Wallace hate Superman, because the Wayne Building collapsed and crushed his leg.
When we look back at MOS, it was Zod that destroyed the Wayne Mansion, so the person that Batman and Wallace hated should be Zod.
But Zod and Superman were fighting inside the Wayne Building. How could the people outside know who shot this hot sight?
So it's reasonable for Batman and Wallace to hate Superman.
Therefore, if you are a superpower, if you use superpowers to fight crime, you can never guarantee that you will never make mistakes, and you will definitely hurt the innocent in the process of fighting crime.
Even if you didn't hurt the innocent by mistake, but the villain did it, you still don't explain clearly. Someone must blame you on you and want to retaliate against you.
Wallace is considered gentle, just scribbling on the Superman statue.
If people like Batman and Luther retaliate against you, do you think your life will be better in the future?
Therefore, if you really become a superhero, you will definitely not be as cool as YY novels. You will encounter many problems, and these problems will make you regret exposing your superpowers too early.
You will feel very unfair. Why is Superman reminded him, why you don’t have a foster father like Jonathan, why no one reminds you not to expose your superpowers.
Jonathan has a long-term vision. He knows what happens when he exposes his superpowers, so he repeatedly told Superman not to expose his superpowers, even if his father is in danger, don't save him.
"Because he believes that the world is not ready, I must wait."
We will say later that Superman is Jesus, and MOS is about the sacrifice and rebirth of Superman.
And Jonathan set an example and personally demonstrated sacrifice to Superman, so that Superman learned to sacrifice.
In MOS, Jonathan and Martha helped Superman achieve three growths.
The first time I found out that she had super powers, Martha guided Superman to control her super powers. From then on, Superman began to use super powers to save people.
The second time is Jonathan educating Superman. If everyone knows that he has superpowers, many consequences will happen, so Superman becomes cautious.
The third time was Jonathan's death, so Superman never hesitated anymore and went to save people without saying a word.
But he also took Jonathan's words in his heart, so every time he showed his superpowers, he would change jobs, so that he could help others without revealing his identity.
Superman said: If people find me, I will disappear again.
Louise said: You will not disappear completely unless you stop helping others.
Superman was righted by Louise, and it is not his style to stop helping others.
So after Zord came, he did not hide, but took the initiative to surrender.
Zod wants to destroy the earth, he didn't sit back and watch, but he wanted to give it a try, knowing that he might lose.
MOS is the third growth of Superman. When we talk about BVS later, I will talk to you about the fourth and fifth growth of Superman.
When the school bus crashed into the river, he helped. He saved people's lives, but people were scared.
The classmates survived safely, and the first reaction of the classmate's mother was not thanks, but fear.
People are prone to fear of the incomprehensible, so he has to hide his superpowers.
The world was not ready to accept him, so he watched his adoptive father die but couldn't do anything.
He gained a lot and lost a lot.
Faced with Zod, humans choose to hand over Superman;
After defeating Zod, the humans still used reconnaissance planes to monitor him.
He shouldered the most difficult responsibilities, but suffered the most unfair treatment.
Even if people were afraid of him, doubted him, or misunderstood him, he would retaliate virtuously and stick to the glory of human nature.
He is a superhero and a preacher who endures humiliation and forge ahead.
Metaphors in MOS
Part of the following content is my own summary, and part of it refers to the analysis of "who doesn't matter" from YouTube netizens.
Many people know that Superman in DCEU exists like Jesus. Jesus was sacrificed and then resurrected. The trilogy of MOS, BVS, and JL is about the birth, sacrifice, and rebirth of Superman.
In fact, not only is the Superman trilogy about the birth, sacrifice, and rebirth of Superman, MOS is also about the birth, sacrifice, and rebirth of Superman.
To be precise, it was the birth of Karl-El, the sacrifice of Karl-El, and the rebirth of Karl-El as a superman.
So there are a lot of metaphors about religion and fertility in MOS.
At the beginning of the movie, Carl Al was born.
In the future he will become Superman, but now he is not, now he is just Karl-El.
Zod’s Krypton Legion was locked up, and the aircraft holding them resembled genitals.
Joe Al launches Karl Al to Earth, and the launch pad is also like a genitalia.
And Karl-El represents sperm, and the shape of the capsule is obviously sperm.
The destination of the capsule is the earth, which means that Krypton is the father of Karl-El, the earth is the mother of Karl-El, and Karl-El is the common child of Krypton and the earth.
And this is what Joe Al said.
Joe Al also said: You will become a bridge between the Kryptonians and the Earthlings.
The Bridge Terrier also appeared in "Wonder Woman" and "Aquaman".
Joe El implanted the central book containing all Kryptonian genes into Karl El, metaphorically that Karl El is the seed of hope for all Kryptonians.
Although Krypton is destroyed, as long as Karl-El is still there, the Kryptonians are not considered extinct, because Karl-El can use the Central Book to rebirth the Kryptonians.
The fragment of Krypton is a metaphor for ejaculation, while the fragment of Earth is a metaphor for fertilization.
Karl-El landed on the earth in a space capsule, and the next shot was switched to Karl-El working on a fishing boat when he grew up.
Whether it's Karl Al working on a fishing boat, or pushing a school bus that fell into the water later, or being poured beer by the ground ruffian in a bar, these shots are all related to water.
There is 70% water in the human body, and 70% of the earth is the ocean, so the lens of the capsule falling on the earth and switching to the ocean is a metaphor for sperm (Karl Eyre) entering the mother body (earth).
At the same time, it is also a metaphor that the sperm enters the mother body like a small boat in the vast ocean.
On the other hand, falling into the sea by Karl-El is also a metaphor for being baptized, and the seagull is a symbol of a dove.
After Karl Al fell into the sea, he remembered the experience of discovering his talent for the first time as a child.
Karl-El found that his senses suddenly became extremely sharp. He felt terrified, so he hid.
He also said: This world is too big.
This is a metaphor when the sperm enters the mother body at a loss and can't find a direction.
Karl-El doesn't know how to control his senses. Martha said: You just imagine a small island, located in the vast ocean, and then you swim to this small island.
Karl-El is the sperm, the island is the egg, and swimming to the island is the sperm swimming to the egg.
What is an egg? It is the Krypton spacecraft.
After the sperm and egg meet, they can’t immediately reunite. The first step is to break the protective layer around the egg.
So Karl-El opened this "protective layer" with a hot sight.
The second step is that the egg will release cortical particles, hardening the zona pellucida to prevent the remaining sperm from re-entering, so as to prevent multiple sperm from combining with one egg.
So Karl-El used the master key to gain control of the spacecraft.
When Joe El gave Karl El a history lesson, a picture of a couple holding a baby appeared. This couple can be understood as Joe El and Laura, or as Krypton and Krypton. Earth.
The composition of Karl-El out of the spaceship is very similar to that picture, with the child in the middle, that is, Superman.
On the left is a broken ball, and on the right is a good ball.
The broken ball on the left is Karl-El’s father, Krypton, and the intact ball on the right is Karl-El’s mother, Earth.
Even that picture and the picture of the Transfiguration of Jesus on the Mountain are of the same composition.
In the middle is Jesus, which is Karl Al.
On the left is Moses from the Old Testament, and on the right is Elijah from the New Testament.
The era of metaphor Krypton has passed, and it is now the era of the earth, which indicates that Superman will stand on the side of the earth people and stop Zod’s plan.
When Superman shot the spacecraft with his hot sight, Zod said: If you destroy this spacecraft, you will destroy Krypton.
Karl-El said: Krypton has become a thing of the past.
It also explains why Joe-El and Laura can't come to Earth.
Joe El was killed by Zord, so why didn't Laura come to Earth?
Karl-El said: Why don't you come to earth with me?
Joe-El said: Your mother Laura and I, along with Zord, are the products of the failure of this world, and are destined to die with Krypton.
When Karl El stole the clothes, the family's house number was 536.
Zha Dao specially gave a close-up of the house number, indicating that the house number has profound meaning.
This is a metaphor of "Luke" Chapter 5, verse 36: No one tears off a piece of new clothes to patch on the old clothes; if so, tear the new one and tear off the new piece It's not commensurate with the old one.
This sentence has two meanings in the movie. One is that it indicates that Zod will not coexist with the earthlings. He will destroy the earth first, and then let the Kryptonites be reborn.
The second meaning is that Joe El broke the Kryptonian tradition of artificial insemination that had been maintained for countless years and gave birth to Karl El through natural childbirth.
When Joe Al decided to launch Karl Al to Earth, Laura said: He will be abandoned and treated as a monster.
Joe Al said: No, he will be treated as a god.
Joe El, who has become artificial intelligence, also said: You can save Louise, you can save everyone.
This sentence is also a metaphor that Karl-El is Jesus.
Afterwards, Karl-El flew out of the spaceship in the shape of a cross.
And when he surrendered to Zod, there was a halo on his head...
Too many shots suggest that he is Jesus.
Karl-El was driven to the ground by a piledriver. The next shot shows Jenny trapped in the ruins. This is a metaphor that Karl-El was sacrificed and Superman was about to be reborn.
Superman stood up. The composition at this time resembled a cross. This is a metaphor that Jesus was nailed to the cross and sacrificed for the salvation of the world. But it doesn't matter, because he will be resurrected soon.
Karl-El knocked down the Krypton spacecraft, and the origin of life room was flooded with water, a metaphor that the amniotic fluid was broken.
The soldier said: Hardy's correctional officer hurried over, and Superman was coming too.
Note that the original words of the soldiers are Superman, Superman.
Another meaning of "Superman is coming" is that the baby is about to be born, and he will be born as a Superman.
Colonel Hardy was about to throw the capsule into Zord's spacecraft. He said: The Guardian is heading to the metropolis, and the package is also travelling with him.
Of course, the package refers to the space capsule.
However, after Colonel Hardy said this, the camera cut to Superman.
So the package also has a second meaning, it refers to Superman, which means that the baby (Superman) is about to be born in the metropolis.
Zod used a pile driver to transform the earth, a metaphor for mother (the earth) has begun to contract.
The bursts of shock waves generated by the pile driver are very similar to bursts of pain during contractions.
And the pile driver is very much like an auxiliary device when giving birth to a child.
Jenny was trapped in the ruins and let out a cry, much like the cry of a mother (Earth) when she gave birth to a child (Superman).
Perry White went to Lombard to help, and Jenny said: No, no, don't leave me.
It's like a pregnant woman who doesn't want her husband to leave when she has a baby.
Perry White and Lombard want to save Jenny. Perry White represents the husband, and Lombard represents the midwife.
Lombard said: Hard work.
It's like the midwife is telling the pregnant woman to work hard.
Jenny said: I'm stuck, I can't get out.
This is a metaphorical dystocia.
Why is it difficult to give birth, because the baby (Superman) does not come out first, but hands out first.
Perry White holds Jenny's hand, like a husband who accompanies a pregnant woman to give birth.
At this time, the expressions of Jenny and Perry White were desperate. On the one hand, they felt that Jenny could not survive, and on the other hand, it was a metaphor that the child would die due to dystocia.
At this moment, Karl-El put his hands down and put his head on top of the whole body, so the baby's fetal position was normal.
Karl-El blew up the pile driver and Jenny escaped from the ruins, metaphorically indicating that a baby was born.
Karl El was sacrificed and reborn as Superman.
When Jenny came out, Lombardy went to support her, because the pregnant woman who had just given birth needed support.
At this time, there is still the last step before the baby is born. This step is to cut the umbilical cord.
I checked the umbilical cord on Baidu, but I didn’t expect an unexpected gain. The second result is that "the umbilical cord is the bridge between the fetus and the mother."
Superman is the bridge between Krypton and the earth. Who is the bridge between Superman (fetus) and earth (mother)?
It's Zod.
Because before Zord came, Superman was just a young guy who occasionally saved people with super powers, not much different from ordinary people.
It was the arrival of Zod that the connection between Superman and the earth became closer.
Secondly, the role of the umbilical cord is to allow material exchange between the mother and the fetus.
It was the arrival of Zord that Superman (fetus) gained trust from the earth (mother) and began to believe in humans, and the earth also gained hope from Superman.
So Zord is destined to die, and Superman's killing of Zord is also the last step of rebirth, which is to cut the umbilical cord.
Moreover, cutting the umbilical cord does not mean that the umbilical cord will disappear completely, and it will leave a stump of the umbilical cord.
Umbilical cord care is not an easy task. If the care is not in place, the consequences will be serious, which implies that Zod died not completely, and Luther will be transformed into a day of destruction and continue to do evil.
Umbilical cord blood contains a large number of stem cells, and stem cells have a strong regenerative ability, which also indicates that Zord will be resurrected.
Joe El once said to Zod: I miss you very much, not the monster in front of me.
Superman also said: Zod, you monster.
These are all hints that Zod will later become the day of destruction.
Superman cried after killing Zod. He cried for many reasons. One is that he killed someone, and the other is that he destroyed the pile driver and the origin of life room in order to prevent Zod, and personally ruined the opportunity for the rebirth of the Krypton.
Most importantly, he cried because he was born again, and of course he would cry when a baby was born.
The rebirth of Superman at the end of the movie corresponds exactly to the birth of Karl El at the beginning of the movie. This is not a coincidence, but a careful design by Zhadao.
At the beginning is Laura standing next to Karl-El, and at the end is Louise standing next to Superman, so Louise represents Jesus' biological mother, the Virgin Mary.
After entering the Krypton spacecraft, Louise was attacked by artificial intelligence, causing her stomach to bleed.
As well as Superman holding Louise's belly after kill
