Toothache42 small world? so you dont think it might have been on purpose?

No he played a sprit that used lex’s body to battle Clark cuz lex kept saying kneel before Zod

Ffs his name is Terrence Stamp

🗣WHERE IS THE KODEX!!!!! In Superman Mother's face 😂too damn funny 😂

I do I like it I mean it's my favourite General Zod Quote.

@Data Boss I have given you an honorary thumbs down 👎

You will bow down before me! You and then one day, your heirs!

codster9 oh yeah, you should see doug walker portray him

Honestly I think smallvilles zod was way better

No way near Terence stamps zod. Shannon was good, Terrence was great.

Kind of hard living in the shadow of Terrance Stamp... I am glad they made an attempt...:) Richard Donner found the perfect Zod... Actually all the actors were perfect... it was the perfect storm of talent choices... Rich got the shaft , he was a genius!!!

Agreed .... Stamps Zod is just perfect in everyway.

If you day-ere! I defy you!

push obama

Why was the president just standing there in the first place? After he snatched the mic, I would've been like my time in front of the camera is done!

Brandon Cavewynter smallville zod is my favorite incarnation

That bit was definitely funnier than intended.

You forgot. You will kneel before me Jarel! You will! and one day...YOUR ASS!

Jason Maxwell it was "YOUR HEIRS".

"Where is this imbecile?"

@@BrotherDerrick3X so many people think it's your ass.

@@hdjksa52 I know. When I was younger, so did I.

Ghost? ... Zod having God complex? ... super villan origins ?! -> look for the Bible and the Book of Enoch!!!! WOW! :-o

c0nstantin86 Why? I rather look for a good comic book.

mitrooper Truth is more entertaining then fiction. You would think otherwise because you've never knew the truth. Most people live under an umbrella covering them from the Truth. Call it paradigm. That is the Matrix. Ever since school, we've been conditioned to live in a parallel world, a paradigm, before being allowed to play with the other kids. Most people still do this even after school is over. They never look outside, man... They never look to what's Real...

"FRREEEEEEEEE!"

1. KNEEL BEFORE SOD! 2. "So this is Pla... Never mind, reverse order, "Planet Houston" makes me laugh still

This explanation of zod is pretty poor, most of the stuff in the video isn't canon anymore, but regardless.... 1. yes, there are hundred of prisoners in the phantom zone. 2. They had no idea their planet was going to blow up. Jor-el found out but it was too late to do anything and no one believed him. Honestly, Zod's origins are better explained (and over-all revamped) in the 5 part comic book Story-arc called "Superman Last son" by Geof Johns and Richard donner. It's a great read and explains everything.

***** I think you missed my point on #2. If they all went into the phantom zone and sent an adult away (instead of a child), then they would've been able to be freed very quickly, once that adult reached somewhere safe. So the 'mad eventually' probably wouldn't of had time to happen. It would essentially be pokeballing everyone (admittedly in a torture realm...) but one person, who would be sent away to open their pokeball, to rebuild. But all that is moot, because apparently they learned too late.

Matthew Nelson Jor El discovered that Krypton was going to be destroyed. He told the council. He even told Zod. They didn't believe him. Zod may have believed him, but would not be able to help Krypton without the council's approval, hence the attempted takeover. Krypton blew up the same day Zod was sent to the phantom zone. By then it was too late.

That does make a lot of sense from our perspective, but they probably only sent the very worst of their people and other races into the Phantom Zone. And I don't imagine any of them would be happy to see the people who punished them to that hell. The thing that always bothered me was that, as a highly advanced species with numerous worlds under their rule (I assume anyway, from the Man of Steel film), that they couldn't simply relocate their population and government to a new world. I know that, like Matt Nelson and Joe Whip above stated, Jor-El found out too late that their world was doomed and nobody believed him. But that still doesn't mean that the entire Kryptonian race was destroyed. Superman has cousins and clones up the fucking ying-yang, so it's quite possible that there is a surviving colony somewhere (and not something ridiculous like an entire world shrunk down to the size of a marble - its fantasy, I know, but still).

Madalin Grama My mistake. I was not going by comic origins. Still, the council didn't believe Jor El, so using the Phantom Zone to escape would not have worked.

while he is a good actor and a good Zod man of steel is fucking awful

Gary Mcmillan Don't make your opinion look like a Fact

Wow. Based on your avatar, you must be joking. Michael Shannon’s acting is completely forgettable. He has almost no presence. He’s not arrogant or powerful. The Superman reboots are a joke.

The originals were masterpieces, the reboot's are halfhearted piles of rubbish

he died of screen, we she hi brake his neck in front of us. to some that is a big deference. I still think it's a little stupid that he did not cover his eyes or push him out of the way.

"you know this ends only one way, Kal. Either you die, or I do" Yeah, no. Zod had to die.

Trevor Huff like in the comics he could of just throne him in the phantom zone. but I just saying what people think I don't mind it, It was a little pore writhing, he could of accidently killed Zod or something.

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I am General Zod. Your ruler. Yes, today begins a new order. Your lands, your possessions, your very lives, will gladly be given in tribute to me, General Zod! In return for your obedience you will enjoy my generous protection. In other words you will be allowed to live.

GeneralZod99 Okay, cool cool. Uh, just one question. Just a small one, really. Just something to ponder over while you're enslaving all of humanity. Will their be pie?

1. "KNEEL BEFORE ZOD! 2. TAKE OFF ZOD`s pants and underwear! 3. SUCK ZOD`s CHUCHUR, OR WHAT YOU CALL IT IN THIS PLANET HOUSTON! ...NOT ZODS FEMALE COMMUNICATOR! THE ONLY WAY ZOD COMMUNICATES WITH THE FEMALE SPECIES!

Fuck no. :3

Michael shanon was the best

I'll agree Shannon portrayed him more "realistically", in terms of how a genetically programmed soldier would act in the interest of his people, but I *still* say Terrence Stamp gave the definitive performance. He essentially set Zod's parameters as a brilliant, serious minded soldier on Krypton who became a megalomaniac with a God-complex when he was given his powers on earth. It made for the better movie, with a more layered performance. Sorry; "Kneel before Zod" still stands after 40 years

One reason I think micheal shanon was the best was because when you look at the previous zod he really doesnt have the whole soldier vibe even though he's supposed to be a general he talks and dresses like a stage performer understandable from that era of over acting. But with shannon he really embodies that whole rough, gruff no nonsense military attitude. Come to think of it Zod Man of Steel for supervillian he really wasnt much of a liar I mean he told Jor-El exactly what his plans of domination where and when he met superman he was totally honest of what his intentions would be and the result that would follow this actually breaks the basic super villain formula.

Nothing they do with a retarded ugly brute will EVER compare to the original Zod's God complex.

I would than turn on the Man of Steel costume

Kneel before Zod.

Unlike Zim or even Kaos (because both Zim and Kaos were voiced by Richard Horvitz) General Zod does not have a high-pitched voice.

+D3m0nator You liked that movie? I thought it was fucking emo, I mean Superman is either sad or suffering, a complete departure from the original ones, and man did they use many shots showing Superman suffer and struggle during that movie... When I want to watch a Superhero suffer and cry over his powers, we always got Spidey.

It's somatic reconditioning. Sorry.

Do you really want to see a naked alien? -__-

heresthadude1080 Maybe :>

Phrikeares I'd certainly be inclined to see Ursa/Faora/Whatever-Her-Name-Is in her perfect Kryptonian birthday suit @.@

Glimpsing that gorgeous alien form is worth being bombarded in the face by heat beams and super-strong slaps @.@
