    Man of Steel's Zod's death really hit like a punch in the gut (in a good way).
    Superman learns that not everyone can be saved.
    An extremely empathetic man has to come to terms with ending someone's life, especially the life of one of the few Kryptonians left.
    Even if he had no other choice, the act of taking a life is probably nearly as painful as letting his father die.
    The pained scream that he releases after.
    Henry Cavill really owned the role, and Zack Snyder is the absolute GOAT.

    You leftist propaganda BS channel scumbags, you are only calling the superman on brutal because it is a arabic or poc person. Other than that in the history of brutal deaths in movies this is not even on the list.

    @Young_Deuces shouldn't have a job lol, voice is annoying, doesn't add anything to scenes(actually detracts from them), and talks over most of the pivotal moments which might be from editing, but stfu dude! We aren't here for you.
