Illuminerd: Zach Snyder’s “Man of Steel” struck a cord with fanboys everywhere. There was a moment in that film, however, that I feel went completely overlooked. During the climactic battle between Zod and Kal-El we are presented with a very interesting scene. Before you continue reading, I urge you to Youtube the final battle and Zod's death. Seriously. Do it.
After a rough start to 2025 with Brave New World, Marvel hopes to strike back with Thunderbolts. Featuring a ragtag group of misfits from previous MCU movies and a new character that’s insanely powerful, Thunderbolts tells the story of damaged people overcoming their trauma to become heroes. RPadTV host Raymond Padilla is joined by videogame industry veterans Paul Semel and Marcus Beer to discuss the movie and see if it lives up to its comic-book tagline of “Justice, Like Lightning.”
The three will discuss what they liked and didn’t like about Thunderbolts, including their favorite performances and scenes, as well as what could have been improved. Early reviews of the movie have been strong and RPadTV’s version of Thunderbolts (The Sparklers?!?) can’t wait to talk about the latest MCU movie with you.
Deeply disappointed that no one yelled, "Thunder! Thunder! Thunderbolts, ho!"
Good conversation otherwise, though.
The director of the new Evil Dead film wants to leave audiences physically exhausted.
Those pesky log trucks return in Final Destination Bloodlines.
i do not have any problem with superman killing zod or showing the destruction of metropolis...there were some shots superman was trying to save people but realistically a kind of battle like that really would have a lot of casualties. i also do not think the family towards the end of the fight were sliced by the laser beams.
I had a problem at the start but then I realised Superman has adapted Earth as his home planet, living amongst people and hidden away for so long. That day came for him to show the world he is not a threat to the people of Earth and to break Zod neck shows he needed to protect his adapted planet.
this author is deluded. the family getting cut in half is where superman gains his “never kill” stance. lol no, the feeling of guilt after killing zod is where he gains the never kill stance. this will be a constant reminder to superman of what not to do. learning from his mistakes and growing from it.
It wasn't an option, Superman was forced to kill Zod. It was that or let an innocent die. After doing so, he took his stance on the never killing.
But looking at Zod's character, he's actually not the worst enemy or threat to Earth & Superman. Superman has some big foes in his line-up.
