Would you consider this the Anti-Man of Steel.


Just Saying.

Really can't be compared to Man of steel. Man of steel is an origin story, this superman is experienced a lot, public loves him for his heroic deeds in past, he has more powers and techniques to take down villains without killing them. On other hand Man of steel superman was starting his day as Superman. More over Manchester Black did not want to invade earth or terraform it, he just wanted to rule it like a God, while Zod wanted to take revenge on Superman, kill everybody on Earth.

When MOS superman gets years of experience and when elite comes on earth and then if he kills them, then this can be considered as Anti-Man of steel

All those reasons you listed are exactly why it's the "anti-man of steel."

Anti isn't comparing, it's contrasting. In other words, pointing out the differences.

No, then it'd just be Man of Steel.

Can't stop the signal.

When the post starts with something called Anti-Man of steel, then obviously some one is comparing Man of steel to XXX film.

and no these films cannot be compared, seeing the character has aged heavily in Superman vs The Elite. Its like comparing Gotham TV show to Batman Begins and saying that Batman Begins bruce wayne character is better because he is richer and more sensible.

Anti means opposite. So the differences. They're contrasting, not comparing.

That's what I said. They can be contrasted because they're different. Comparing is for similarities.

That would be "contrasting," not comparing.

Comparing means "estimate, measure, or note the similarity or dissimilarity between."
To find similarity or any differences you need to compare.

Comparing is for similarities.

Comparing is for both similarities and differences

Um, no. Haven't you heard of "compare and contrast"? Comparing is showing similarities, and contrasting is showing differences.

Yes, it does make sense. If something is exactly like something else, as your suggesting, then it's not the "anti" version. Anti means against or opposite.

If this movie were exactly like Man of Steel, then it's not the anti version. It's just another same version.

Can't stop the signal.
