A question about the Space Jesus movie: Why did Zod not just move his eyes to fry the people at the end of the movie, just before Space Jesus snaps his neck?

I have never heard of space Jesus movie but I would not be surprised at all.

Every year I find myself hearing the name Jesus day after day, week after week. Then comes “the War on Christmas” bullshit. That’s already started.

I love the holidays, I am not a Christian but I love my Christmas tree and wrapping gifts and wishing people of all beliefs a Happy Holiday, whichever they celebrate – so many at one time of the year that claiming there is a war on Christmas is truly a farse.

Happy Holidays to all!

The official title was “Man of Steel”

Man of Steel stunk—too too much cgi, not enough plot.

. If he’s Jesus its based on Scientology.

The symbolism was quite overt.
The scene with him sitting in a church with the image of Jesus right next to him.
Him questioning whether he should do what he should do.
Him sacrificing himself to Zod.
The spread out arms, crucifiction style, when he steps into space.
It was quite deliberate and obnoxious.

You could point out the same symbols in any man in tights film. Comic book heroes are based on the Classical gods and demigods.

The ending was sub-par, but I did enjoy the first half.

The “end” was endless. There were multiple battles but end scene battle with General Zod was 35 minutes long, Gen Zon at times seemed stronger than superman – he said himself he was genetically chosen, born in a testube to protect the continued existence of Krypton’s people at any cost. Then at the end, superman merely snapped his neck

“Why did Zod not just move his eyes to fry the people at the end of the movie”

To create tension and anticipation and invoke emotion.

In the movies and on TV you always know a victim is going to get away when the assailant suddenly feels the need to explain himself. That’s the art of suspense.
