Sucks we didn't get the trailer but I love the premise of the viral video.

Liked the direction of the story line.

 

[Platy]

Because it doesn't seem like it's footage from the film itself, yet is something that has been put out to make the rounds of the internet in anticipation for the product WB are selling.

It's not explicitly a trailer or teaser. It's mysterious and really short, so it's designed to create buzz and get shared a bunch.

Looks as teaser to me as most Pixar teasers

It actualy gives me a HUGE Godzilla/Spider-Man teaser vibes in a way that the main character is only mentioned at the end and not directly.

Feet, web and Kal-El

Why is everyone calling the teaser "viral" ?

Because the video was triggered by a viral campaign online. People decoded a transmission to reveal the words "you are not alone" an image of Zods house symbol and an IP address.

I liked the viral video

 

[Simo]

I noticed that when it aired on TV there was a second or two of extra "footage", mostly just quick shots of Zod's helmet. This is the best I could and excuse the crappy cellphone snap and DVR bar but it was a pain in the ass to pause it just right:

Looks like Zod is a tie fighter trooper

Can't wait to see it in HD if they show it in the trailer.

Heh first reaction was more of a Stormtrooper crossed with this..

Don't go into that viral thread if you like this Zod/Shannon or anything about MOS.

Feels like trolls coming out who haven't kept up with the movie at all smh

"what makes ultra-terrible is the fact that it reeks of TDK-joker type viral campaign and it doesnt fit Zod at all "

Not true at all.

I hate talking about character that I have followed all my life with people that are exposed to a sliver/no history of the character and they insist they are right and know just as much.

Reading impressions of the teaser online is hilarious.



People so fake-angry.

I felt ill reading that.

You fucking kidding me, WB?

no, what was wrong with that viral clip? it's the perfect place. get a teaser in front of the mouth breathers.

Heads up - SFx Magazine issue #235 will be devoted to Man of Steel and celebrate Supes 75th anniversary, on sale May 1st.

Plus the 3D print of the 2nd Man of Steel trailer is attached to Jurassic Park 3D!

 

[KalBalboa]

Just browsed through the Off Topic forum. Is there a Viral Zod thread?

Caught that last Friday with my girlfriend. Loved catching it in 3D by surprise (again).

Yes. The non comics goons had their chance to pop in and rail against the film.




Hey has anyone seen the TV spot on television yet? If so during which shows?

yes, the usual morons are out and about, but there was some hype as well.

It's all absurd. Calling it the worst thing ever lol Not knowing shit about Zod, some losing interest cause of a 30 second viral clip and others thinking this will have no action... like the 2nd trailer didn't even show anything. Heck people complaining about Shannon and him saying "My name is General Zod" wtf was wrong with that just smh

A 30 second viral clip shouldn't cause that kinda of reaction. Just odd.

it could have been it being released on MTV, but then again this is GAF where people rebel in being contrarian and negative, the opposite of Superman basically.

 

[TEJ]

Do ya'll think that the release of Injustice tomorrow will include the third MoS trailer? HD things look shitty on my computer but they usually look good on my ps3 and hdtv.

 

[strafer]

No trailer huh?

 

[G-Fex]

I will do push-ups and sit-ups. I will rise.

only if I get to punch your spine

 

[vio]

This viral didn`t do anything for me. Seems pointless and while Michael Shannon is really good actor, i am just spoiled by voice of Benedict Cumberbatch in those Star Trek trailers.
Doesn`t make me see MOS any less though.

 

[Ashhong]

I think it's hard to judge a voice from that viral. The sound is all distorted and whatnot.

With that said, I don't think its fair to compare to the awesomeness that is Benedict Cumberbatch =P

 

[KalBalboa]

So, tomorrow night then?

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

So confused. I thought it was pretty much confirmed to be out today.

Just posted on the MoS FB page:

Our Response to General Zod:
We have received your transmission. You have much to learn about Humans. We don’t negotiate with terrorists.

Kal-El belongs to the people of Earth. He is not alone. He has US. Kal-El is *our* citizen.

Here’s our ultimatum to you: You have until Tuesday, 5PM Pacific Time, to turn around. Or YOU face the consequences. Don’t mess with the \S/.

----
The countdown at www.IWillFindHim.com ends about 5:20PM PDT Tuesday. Give or take a couple of minutes. The below image is a single frame from the "You Are Not Alone" video.

 

[Hindle]

I'm properly out of the loop when it comes to this. Any new screens of Zod or his sidekicks.

 

[Router]

I imagine WB are most likely going to remove this now. Bombings and all.

I don't see why. We're the bombs set by rogue Kryptonians?

Because PR companies dont want to be talking about terrorists to promote a film when bombs are going off on american soil.

Yah but these are the uncropped images from the EW mag they just put up online.

And even still they need to be reposted.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

And two of those pics are ones people chewed you out over because they were spoilery.

 

[artist]

Fuck the spoilers.

The colours of his suit here are fucking perfect.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Superman just can not catch a break can he? if that trailer has anything bigger than a paper cup getting blown up I bet my left nut WB will not show it (and rightfully I guess)

 

[Messypandas]

If those shots or buildings and buses blowing up and Morpheus running from wreckage is in the new trailer again, then they definitely need/probably gonna hold off dropping it.

 

[Eteric Rice]

The colours of his suit here are fucking perfect.

Indeed, I wonder if that's what it'll look like in the movie?

 

[Salsa]

I still dont dig like, any of the armors

also that akward/lousy shopped-looking image of Zod is not something you release on a fucking magazine

other than that, cool

 

[Hindle]

Micheal Shannon will be fucking awesome as Zod. Believe it. The guy has such an intimidating presence.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

fuck im hyped

 

[triplestation]

Micheal Shannon will be fucking awesome as Zod. Believe it. The guy has such an intimidating presence.

he has the perfect comic book villain face

 

[kazebyaka]

Russel Crowe will steal this movie.
