Henry Cavill starrer &#039;Man of Steel&#039; featured the near destruction of Metropolis

Avoided by ‘The Flash’, ‘Man of Steel’ Storyboarder Explains His Logic Behind One of the Henry Cavill Starrer’s Most ‘Destructive’ Scenes

A man has not lived if he has not dreamt. It shall hardly come as a surprise if
some, or say all of us, have at one point dreamt of being a superhero and saving
the world. As the world of comics and movies has heftily established that being
on the good side often comes with a personal sacrifice. However, let us also
acknowledge that on its backs also comes riding a dear cost to the public
exchequer. And a good example of this is Henry Cavill

A redeeming scene played out in 2013’s Man of Steel. Now, defending the negative
light on the movie, one of its storyboarders explained why ‘those’ scenes had to
happen.


MAN OF STEEL STORYBOARDER EXPLAINS WHY THE MOVIE FEATURED SUCH EXTENSIVE
DESTRUCTION

Featuring his unique gritty take, director Zack Snyder had Henry Cavill play
Superman’s origins in Man of Steel. However, the movie landed flak for its third
act featuring the near destruction of Metropolis, the on-screen equivalent of
New York City. Superman’s duel with the antagonist Zod had them ‘unnecessarily’
crashing into and toppling several buildings and populated structures. Now, in
defense, one of the movie’s storyboarders responded to a fans’ discontent,
claiming that he had used an “empty parking lot for said destruction.”

Although the movie shot up Henry Cavill as one of the best on-screen Superman(s)

its divisive entry did not bode well for the DCEU. By fan estimates, the clash
had wiped off nearly half a million people in-universe. However, storyboarder
Jay Oliva rebuffed those claims, affirming that the ‘destructions’ did not
involve as many deaths as projected. “If you want to believe that there’s people
in there then that’s on you but not what’s in the film or what was intended,” he
tweeted.

Regardless, the lessons lay ingrained and the 2023 DC flick, Flash, completely
avoided a rerun of the same.


HOW THE FLASH WENT ON TO CORRECT ZACK SNYDER’S ‘MISTAKES’

DC secured a straight entry into the fans’ hall of fame thanks to Christopher
Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy. Yet, its next big bet with Man of Steel faltered in
the ratings thanks to ‘destructions’. Rather, the damage found plot in-universe
with 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Moreover, Zack Snyder, in his
defense, allayed critics by saying the destruction was part of an inexperienced
Superman gaining depth to his character.



As good as it may have done for the fans, critics had none of it. Thus, when
2023’s The Flash revisited the moment with Sasha Calle’s Supergirl, it made sure
the clash took place in an empty desert and not in a city choc-a-bloc with
people. However, now the critical receptions as well as defense for the 2013
flick are out of canon thanks to James Gunn’s takeover.
