Why is Man of Steel so immensely powerful and moving?
Watched it again, and it just has this something that few is any other cape movies do.
I suppose there is this conviction to the feelings that the movie brings to it's surface. It feels earnest. Any scene of Clark and Jonathan, Clark finally finding his heritage and taking flight for the first time, Clark choosing earth instead of the Kryptonians and that immense scene of him resisting the world engine beam and then destroying it.
Anyways, Man of Steel is just fucking great.

I agree. It's just an incredibly well put-together film with a ton of really inspiring moments. A good deal of depth to what's going on, too.
Did you happen to notice the empty hibernation pod on the scout ship?

Yes
Interesting detail.
Maybe that lone Kryptonian fathered the civilizations of Atlantis and/or Amazon thousands of years ago

Another anon pointed out a prequel comic to me in a thread last night. Not saying it's going to be canon, but give me a few and I'll dig up the link to it.

I still hold out hope that the scientist and the Air Force Colonel somehow managed to survive with the Kryptonians in the Phantom Zone, too.

This is the part that gets me. I like pretty much all of the MCU movies, but they've never made me actually feel anything like MoS.

This is the video that made me want to rewatch it.
There are a few times he stretches a bit in the analysis, but on the whole, after watching the movie, it's hard not to find validity on the take.
The description of the world engine expanding the earth, as the vaginal canal expands during birth in order to birth Superman was eye opening, that the earth suffers in order to give life to this being, as a woman suffers...and the imagery is definitely there when viewing the film as a whole.
The film isn't perfect, personally I wish they had stayed away from using real stores the way did in Smallville, and the ending with Zod should have had a smoother transition into the finale, but overall, it's a powerful and moving film and one of the few shining beacons of the cape genre IMO

Didn't click for me the first time I watched it, didn't think much of it.
Arguably, I had to grow and mature as a person first, before its raw emotion and sincerity hit me like a freight train one day by surprise.
I'm so sorry Zack, I didn't know.

You know something I found as cool on a re-watch? Jonathan Kent understood how the world was going to react to Clark. Watch his first scene. As soon as Pete's mom says, "It was a miracle of God, Jonathan!" he's immediately going to look for Clark to set him straight on the score. Also this:

Now compare the tone of it and the delivery method to this:

Even the words that appear on-screen in Zod's broadcast are interesting, as they're evocative of another movie from long ago. I think maybe this is Snyder telling his audience to expect something a bit different than your typical cape movie.
He's telling us to expect science fiction.

Good catch, I really need to rewatch it here soon.
