Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The DCEU kicked off with 2013's Man of Steel, and now, ten years after the film's 2013 release, new information recontextualizes Superman's most controversial scene in the movie. After each of Superman's previous cinematic outings focused on a more "classic" boy-scout version of Superman, Man of Steel was a marked departure.
However, perhaps no scene in the entire DCEU movie timeline is as controversial as Superman snapping General Zod's neck to stop his campaign of destruction on Earth. Superman has certainly killed before in DC Comics and other films, but it's seldom been so personal and realistically unceremonious. Part of the problem is that the death seems to come a bit out of the blue, but a newly revealed deleted scene would have given more context and gravitas to Superman's killing blow.
Man Of Steel Writer Reveals Cut Clark And Jonathan Kent Scene Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Man of Steel screenwriter David S. Goyer revealed a scene he wrote for early in the movie featuring a young Clark Kent and his adoptive father, Jonathan. In the scene, the father-son pair goes hunting, and Clark shoots a deer. While he hits his target, the deer is wounded but remains alive. His father approaches the animal and kills it, which visibly distresses young Clark.
Why Zod's Death Is Way Better With The Cut Man Of Steel Scene Man of Steel does a decent job of contextualizing why Superman has to kill Zod. Not only are people in immediate danger as the villain attempts to use his laser vision on civilians, but his plan to terraform Earth would mean the deaths of billions.
Killing Zod may not be an act of mercy as it is to stop an animal's suffering, but the larger point about the complicated emotional weight involved with death is clearly applicable. Moreover, including the scene and presenting its payoff would also help smooth out the DCEU's controversial characterization of Jonathan Kent overall. Usually a moral compass for Clark, Man of Steel's version of Jonathan Kent was much less steadfast in pursuit of a greater good.
