Zod’s Kryptonian Army Lost to Pure Plot Armor in The Flash (2023)

Описание: General Zod and his elite Kryptonian soldiers were once feared across the galaxy — conquerors who battled entire civilizations and stood toe-to-toe with Superman himself. These are genetically engineered warriors, trained for decades under Kryptonian military command, masters of combat, strategy, and discipline.

Yet in The Flash (2023), these same warriors fall apart when facing three uncoordinated heroes — a retired Batman, a newly awakened Supergirl, and two Barry Allens still learning to work as one. The Kryptonians, who should tactically dominate the battlefield, end up fighting like random movie thugs instead of the unstoppable army they were built to be.

It’s a clash that makes no sense when you compare it to their brutal efficiency in Man of Steel. Even Faora, one of Zod’s deadliest lieutenants, looked like she could dismantle the entire Justice League alone — yet here, the same forces crumble under heroes with minimal experience.

Fans argue it’s pure plot armor, bending logic so the heroes can shine. Others believe it hints at deeper weakness — maybe the lack of full sunlight exposure, or the chaos caused by Barry’s time travel paradox. Either way, this battle redefines the phrase “power inconsistency” in the DC Universe.
