If you thought that the controversy among comic book fans in regards to Trevor was extreme, then that was nothing compared to the way that many reacted to how Superman dealt with Zod at the conclusion of their final battle. Thousands of civilians had already died, but when the Kryptonian general used his heat vision to very nearly kill another family and made it clear that he wouldn’t stop, the Man of Steel realised that there was only one way to stop him; by breaking his neck.

This was a shocking scene which took just about everyone by surprise. After all, it’s rare to see a superhero take a life, especially one as iconic and virtuous as Superman, hence why so many people were so displeased by David Goyer and Zack Snyder’s decision to end the movie as they did. Still, it was a bold – and understandable – decision, and an undeniably powerful way to end their battle!
