Creator/ZackSnyder's take on Franchise/Superman, ''Man of Steel'' is [[DarkerAndEdgier more serious and grimmer]] than the Creator/ChristopherReeve films, bringing extraterrestrial horrors that can shake us and Earth to the core... '''LITERALLY.'''

** According to [[http://comicsalliance.com/man-of-steel-destruction-estimate-750-billion-dollars-humor/ this]], 129,000 confirmed dead with another 250,000 likely dead, meaning that ''379,000 people'' died in the crossfire [[note]]This would make Zod's attack on Metropolis the third or fourth deadliest single day in the history of mankind[[/note]].

Zack Snyder, however, has put forward a much smaller death toll of “only” 5,000 or so.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** It then gets cranked UpToEleven when Zod and Faora have their life support systems forcibly removed in the final showdown. Clark had a whole lifetime to adjust. Zod and Faora spent most of their lives in the Phantom Zone, and thus took much longer to adjust to Earth's environment and their newfound powers. It's strongly suggested it takes Zod up until the World Engine is destroyed, roughly 16-20 minutes of elapsed time. And the high-pitched-whine that Clark experienced is made much more intense when we are forced to experience Zod's and Faora's adjustment through their point of view, to the moment that, despite all the terror they have (theoretically) or will about to cause, you can still feel their pain.

* The World Engine. It was designed by the Kryptonians to terraform planets into an environment similar to Krypton, and Zod nearly wipes out all life on Earth by using it. This impressive device doesn't instantly terraform planets; rather, it sits on the antipode to the location of Zod's ship, and fires a beam of energy through the planet that manifests as increased gravity, crushing everything around the ship until nothing is left but bare earth. Anywhere from hundreds of thousands to ''millions'' of people in Metropolis would have been ''slowly, and painfully'' crushed to death during the time it was active. This makes one wonder exactly how many ''other'' species have been rendered extinct by World Engines throughout Krypton's history of space exploration and colonization, since it's safe to say that Zod's wasn't the only one of its kind...
