Homelander was just lazy prick. He was like, 'Come back like 120 times??' He could of done it. Just didn't want to.

Homelander doesn’t have superman level Superspeed so he couldn’t have gone back and forth 120 times. Realistically, Superman holding up the plane would also be like a needle holding up Jelly, so Homelander was right that he couldn’t have done it. What Homelander could’ve done was to try and save a few (maybe 20 people), but they would’ve ratted him out. So what Homelander did was the most logical.

Homelander is a asshole .... nothing compared to superman

Same bro. I don't know but I really hate homelander and it makes me appreciate superman much more but still I will never see superman the same way ever again. Seeing that scene ( the homelander one) makes me hate superheroes.

I was thinking "Superman did it and you're a copy. Why cant you?

absolutely loved that part! actually, classic clark kent! Lois should've immediately recognized him from that alone! but the guy had just grabbed a plane and placed on the ground... clark was the furthest thing on her mind at that moment :D

i think the reeve in original superman made the same speech

@@ranchump Yup. This was a callback to the time he saved Lois from a helicopter that had partially crashed on the rooftop of a building. She fell out first, he caught her, then the helicopter fell and he caught it with the other arm. Flew them both up to the roof of the building and gave this speech.

@@Tantalus010 funny I just watched that scene before this one

It is...because Superman is supposed to inspire hope and banish fear. He wants to make sure that no one is afraid to go flying again just because of one bad day.

It is an awesome scene. Again, too bad the storyline and casting were so bad.

I was upset that he interrupted that Yankees game.

@@Simon-oq6dssome of the casting was bad. Routh’s performance was worthy of a sequel.

​@spencergsmith and Kevin Spacey was about as perfect a follow up to Gene Hackman as you could get. In fact, I think I prefer him to Hackman, only because he is a lot more sophisticatedly sinister. He truly portrays a real villain, while Hackman's was just a crooked businessman.

I just couldn't help but think it was a bit of a d*ck move to just fly off and leave the plane on the field. I mean, now the city has to spend time and resources to remove that bloody thing when Supes could have easily moved it for them after all the passengers were out....

Here here especially at this point he’s a pro

He can't do it for him sled but for the others, he will not failed them, he would not let them down not with the live of others in his hands. He will do it, he will land the plane and save them

There were talks to bring his story back and expanded upon at HBO Max but that fell through well before James Gunn and Pete Safaran took over.

He definitely needed another movie. A better one. He is a perfect successor to Reeve.

Hugely agree. Film was victim of review bombing and influencers deciding people’s opinions on the movie for them. Anybody watching this now without hearing the bullshit slander from youtubers and shitty articles on “why it sucks”, will probably love it. Form your own opinions. This movie is super man through and through

Totally agree. Really prefer him over Cavills portrayal of Superman. He deserved more movies.

I would have loved to see this Superman continue into a Justice League movie.

UNDERRATED, ARE YOU KIDDING ME THIS MOVIE WAS SOOO FUCKING BAD, EVERYONE LEAVING THE THEATRE THAT WATCHED SAID IT SUCKED

He really was as close as you can possibly get. There is only one 6'4" Reeve that looks like that and can act like that. Going from awkward insecure doofus to Supes in a second. But Routh came damn close. It is actually a good movie. Not enough action for the dummies that need 90 minutes of CGI video game cutscenes

"will always be" ? no... dude is dead and gone. brandon routh is a good superman yes. but Henry Cavill is/was better..

The issue is that they tried to play this as a sequel to the original Superman movies and tried to force Routh to be Christopher Reeves's version of Superman. If they had done something completely different and let him be Superman without fitting into the mold that Reeves created, I think he may have done more than one film.

@@Majestic_Graphics hn Reeve better Henry don’t even got tht curl in the front ts important😂 but Henry look like a buff ass bull but he’s still a solid Superman but idk I think reeves better

Goosebumps... It's marvelous

Glad someone else noticed that, my fav part of the scene!

Literally came for this comment

duel of fates-esque

Completely my favorite part!

Same. People say it’s a rehash of the original Superman movies, but is that so bad? It’s a modern recreation of Superman and it added so much cool stuff to Superman that was absent from those old movies. The great effects, the fast Superman with sonic booms, all of it were really cool. The movie was really devoid of action for the most part which isn’t great and the story kinda goes weirdo mode at the end but if it was just a bunch of scenes like this, this movie would’ve been amazing.

@@CraftyCarrot Honestly, I do wish the movie would have at least given Lex a more original scheme, but it's also far from the first time that a sequel rehashed a previous movie's plot. Terminator 2 was still about a human-shaped killing machine time traveling to erase a threat with another "person" also being sent back to stop him. Back to the Future II and III recreated every iconic moment from the first movie but in different time periods and contexts. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was once again about Indiana Jones vs a Nazi-affiliated archaeologist trying to find a Christian artifact that the Nazis want to use to win the war. Superman Returns and Star Wars: The Force Awakens are far from the first movies to rehash old plots, but fanboys overreacted like they do to everything these days.

@@axebomber2108 repeating Lex's real estate plot was a terrible decision. There are so many villains and story lines available to choose from, but they choose to go and to make a knock off version of Richard Donner's movie? How awfully disappointing - and i say that as a huge fan of those movies. Why even make a sequel to a series of movies that the general public barely remember? The vast majority of the movie going public under 20 wouldn't have even seen the originals. At the end of superman II, supes apologizes to the president for disappearing for so long( a matter of weeks at most) and promised not to let him down again, then he immediately disappears for 6 years???? I know people have issues with Man of Steel, but at least Nolan & Snyder came up with their own version of Superman.

@@CraftyCarrot It literally just redoes story beats from the original without what made it special. Bryan Singer is the JJ Abrams of superhero movies.

I hated this movie because it tried to recapture Christopher Reeve instead of formenting its own identity. Its the stale wet cloth of Supermen movie. Zack Snyder's MoS had issues--for me being Characterisation. But it delivered far better. It has its own identity and it took risks for me they mostly paid off

I flew around the world 7 times during the filming of this movie.

One of the worst Hollywood scenes ever. It sets new standards for how wrong you can show something.

@@electricpaisy6045 You don't make sense, try harder.

@@theguy3129 the scene ignores the most basic things about spaceflight and physics. Knowing only a small bit about space shuttles makes it very painful to watch this even with the fact I mind, that this is Hollywood. It's just too much bullshit to handle.

Probably thinking... "Still owe Bats $500,000" and "Please, don't land on anything expensive... Please!!"

Yes, and before Deepfake

Bane 88, it is crazy. Superman (1980 original film) was my childhood. Watched that movie 100 times. This movie takes off where Superman II ended (and I"m glad, since I hated III-V). Anyway, I barely noticed the transition from one actor to the other.

@@d.lawrence5670 I was never a big Superman fan & not a big fan of chase scenes. A scene like this usually bored me but I LOVED THIS! Everything about this movie was great to me & I was so surprised. No clue how this was looked down upon? Man of steel just didn't not get me at all.

Voice, mannerisms, line delivery HE LITERALLY BECAME REEVE. Man would he have been proud. Not nearly enough credit goes to this film and wrapping up the epic Superman trilogy and retconning those last two abominations.

I think that was one of the problems with this movie. They wanted to recapture Me. Reves essence with Brandon. They should have give his character a more edgy personality, like the Man of Steel movie did.

Isn't this supposed to be the Same Christopher Reeves Superman? If yes then it'd make no sense why he searched for Krypton. He's already supposed to know Krypton is dead from The Fortress of Solitude.

A perfect comeback/homecoming with all the camera and audience the whole world could see him and feel hope again in that very moment.

I personally think they screwed up when they made him a father.

@@tusharsingh5417 Yeah he may look a little like him but no one can deliver the character of Superman like Reeve!

@@TONYCOV881 Agreed on that...Reeve was Reeve Hope we'll see him in The Flash again as it's been said

I never realized that's what he was trying to do ! (when he ripped the wing)

Oh wait he removed the wing himself. It wasn't just broken off because the plane couldn't hold its structure when being only lifted or held from that one weak point!! So it IS comic accurate then! He DOES still have a tactile telekinesis field in this version! HELL YEAH!!!! Although if comic accurate he should have been able to remove the wing in a nanosecond or less, too. Which might be disastrous physics wise for the people within, perhaps. But he should still be able to remove it faster than he did here, I think, and still have it be safe.

The wings also hold a lot of the fuel

I don't think he removed the wing on purpose at all as it makes no sense. You can see that he was quite SURPRISED when the wing broke and he was like "oh shit". It was said in the book that he was trying to carefully stop the plane from Spinning to get it under control when the upwards stress on the wing from falling at greater than Mach 1 on it's belly was too much for the wing to take and it broke off since wings are not designed to take the wind at such speeds coming from directly underneath like that. Then of course the other one broke because now it's falling even faster, probably like Mach 1.5 and the stress is too much for the other wing. After that it became a projectile falling probably at Mach 2 or 3 before he caught up to it and was able to begin slowing it down and bring it down gently.

Wing broke off by unexpectedly.

That’s because the boys is much more realistic , there’s no way the front hull of the plane didn’t collapse and Superman should have broke through it. Superman would have to exert twice as much force to slow down the plane let alone stop it, the nose of the plane must have been made from Vibranium

@@JonYen69 nope, superman applies a telekinetic force on the plane so he lifts the plane in it's entirety rather than just the nose with his comparatively small surface area. The Boys universe is just one of the weakest superhero universes Plus he really is a prick for not even carrying the 2 girls their mom was begging to save. Makes me want Superman to turn him to red mist with one punch. The fucker didn't even TRY

@@SayaaNara nope, do you understand how telekinesis forces work? If he had it and was using it then the Nose of the plane would never crumple at all and the wings he was using to steer wouldn't have ripped off. You're letting your fandom blind you from reality and physics. Homelander is a prick for not even trying but what he said wasn't wrong. That plane weighs close to 400 tons and was heading towards the ground at terminal velocity, superman would have to exert close to a million pounds of force to stop the plane so realistically like Homelander said, he would of just broke through the aluminum nose of the aircraft . Imagine having a thin Needle try to hold a human body from letting it touch the ground, that needle would definitely pierce through like jelly. Now imagine that body falling from the sky at terminal velocity and having a needle coming at you with a greater amount of force, ouch!

@@JonYen69 telekinesis is fictional so there's no objectivity on how they "work." Kenetic forces with your analogy would be how real world physics apply but you disregarded my point of view entirely on Superman's lifting prowess In simple terms he made it so there's essentially 1000 Supermen lifting the plane at different points of the plane so there's not a part where momentum would force that to go splat on the ground since the hypothetical Supermen are drastically reducing each part of the plane's downward velocity and therefore force all around the entire plane at one time But since Homelander is unable to or have no knowledge of such an ability despite telekinesis being present in the Boys universe it does kinda confirm that he is just a defected Great Value Superman that has no regard for anyone's well being or is willing to put in any effort to better himself

@@SayaaNara I guess that could work if he does have those abilities, I was just going off what the movie showed.

Ouch! good one!

Lml I'll be honest too, when DC wasn't focused on being dark a gritty. Like I didnt like Bales Batman movies because they where dark and gritty. The world building was good, acting, and the writing is what made those movies.

I love this movie only coz Brandon Routh did an amazing job even with terrible directing, plot and scripts

It’s also a case of control since if he had tried to stop the fall it’s likely he would have broken right through it worsening the situation

Man I swear I’ve been saying that for years now. I love zack Snyder but too often he sacrifices practicality and urgency for “coolness” which ironically hurts a lot of his work. Man of steel was a masterpiece imo but he left way too much on the table with that film.

And in bvs he literally acts like he can’t simply say “lex has my mom hostage” instead of saying “u don’t understand!!! Blah blah blah” ?

WB/DC stopped the continuation of the Brandon Routh Superman because the movie didn't make "enough" bank, and it had mixed reviews. They had also planned to combine Christian Bale's Batman with this Superman to make a cinematic universe. That's why "I Am Legend" had the "Batman vs Superman" movie poster in it.

There was a plan for a Justice League movie, but the Christopher Nolan Batman movies were being made at the same time, and they were going to cast completely different guys. D.J. Cotrona was going to be Superman, and Armie Hammer was going to be Batman. I don't know about Cotrona, but, in hindsight (and not just because he was a lousy Lone Ranger), Hammer would have been a problem. Anyway, the 2008 writer's strike ended up killing the idea.

Now THIS is a hero. Also how is it that I find you everywhere after I’ve subscribed to you?

Homelander just said that because he’s lazy. There are ways to mess with a planes aerodynamics to get it to fly in a straight path. The wing flaps are one way . The way Superman saves them here is still unrealistic but it still goes to show how much strength he would give to save those passengers. This is such a classic scene.

Two hands put together is about 100 square inches of surface area. A loaded 737 would be about 145,000 lbs. Homelander/Superman would pierce through it like a needle through a tissue when trying to lift it.

@@G82Jesse Superman's flight is from a tactile telekinesis ability, this is how he keeps things together and catches falling targets without killing them. It is how he can move planets without flying straight through them.

@@tahjsimon9058 Yeah, his abilities were changed because of this issue, apparently.

He ripped the wing intentionally though.

​@@michaelvedal1907 the second wing at 2:56

@@mydreaminorbit9297 Yes that ripped itself apart due the stress on it after the spin changed. But the first was deliberately ripped off by Superman to get the plane more under control, since before that, it spun out of control.

Dude had to fight himself. That's just sad now.

Lorenz Frost does that superman share the same earth with this?

@@ftxnatsuz3z845 yep this is kingdom come superman

Do u really reeves superman when lois died, he rotates earth and eventually brought back the time. This is the same supes with reeves,

Is this the same sups as the crisis sieries??

My mom God rest her saw all the Supermans and she said he was hands down the best modern versions of the hero...she just hated how everyone still could put together how Superman and Clark returned at the se time and noone questions the coincidence of it...hell The Joker would've been all over this shit!

It was my pleasure to cast with Brandon Routh and assist in the screenplay for this movie.

I thought Kevin Spacey was perfect as Lex Luthor. Very creepy. This is also my favorite Superman movie. I thought that the plot was interesting. I think that the writers could have developed it a bit further, though. I mean, we saw the beginning of Luthor's crystal continent taking form, but it was cut off way to early before it could develop more and we could see more of how it affected the North American continent. I also think that Brandon Routh is every bit of a Superman as Christopher Reeves was and sure wish that he could reprise his role. I think that he is still young enough, in his early forties, to carry it off well. I think that the Man of Steel Superman is much too dark and depressing. I don't find it enjoyable at all.

​​@@StarWolf_88 But you know Clark was just a regular person he didn't have that confidence written on his face. He was an awkward fellow. Marilyn Monroe also could wander streets unrecognised. That great was her acting skills

@@karolinakuc4783 yeah but c'mon you're telling me you wouldn't put it together if you worked at the Daily Planet?

I prefer Man of Steel and Hans Zimmer over this anytime. But this scene was amazing! The score was incredible as well.

UrbanExplorer1000 And the older generation sure is whiny and intolerant.

(ಠ_ಠ) Yup. Love it. Thought the film was pretty good overall. Sure cast a better Luthor than the latest ones😁

JeRzYG81 u prefer superman destroying property rather than saving it. Ok thats fine

JeRzYG81 you prefer superman destroying property rather than saving it. Well ok if u say so.
