      Like Zod knows he's outmatched, his attack against the civilians isn't actually intended to succeed per se, and his life no longer has any purpose. It's just a spiteful, vengeful attempt to hurt Clark by forcing him to put his money where his mouth is w/favoring Earth.

      Of course, MoS doesn't really communicate this that well, but the core of the theme is solid - to Zod, he is the last line of possible continuity for Krypton, for whom his love is genuine, and Clark is finishing its genocide. And it's kinda accurate!

      Both the 90s cartoon and Smallville did this better by giving it a big buildup where Clark actually thinks the other Kryptonian survivor is a good guy before the betrayal In Smallville's case he literally thought Zod was his father

      I liked that the cartoon played it off as a hilarious misunderstanding Mala (Zod's wife) was doing the whole charming naif "Show me your Earth ways" thing because she was operating under the assumption Kal-El was the King of Earth and he was gonna make her the Queen

      When she finds out he's somehow a global celebrity superhero on Earth but ISN'T the King she gets all confused and upset, it literally makes no sense to her

      And, like, by casually publicly referring to him as the King she forces Superman to do a damage control press conference saying he has no idea what she's talking about and disavowing any connection to her That's when she gets mad and decides to bring Zod back

      In hindsight she attributed far more agency to Kal-El's actions than there were She assumed Jor-El's heir had plucked her out of the Phantom Zone after conquering a new planet to cuckold and humiliate his father's enemy, and she was totally willing to roll with it

      Which honestly says a lot about Kryptonian expected social mores.

      Well, Zod and his crew are Nazis and Nazis like to project They probably do reflect Kryptonian mores but in the worst possible light, like Nazis and Western culture

      Good point. Krypton's culture varies a lot, admittedly, so I'm not super familiar with what is considered "iconic Krypton" beyond the stereotypical Emotionless Science Planet. I know @cymaiden really liked the biopunk look MoS did, though.

      The 90s cartoon mostly took a positive view of Krypton, and a lot of the retcons to integrate Superman's villains with his backstory helped reinforce that Like it turns out the reason they didn't believe Jor-El is their planet was being run by Brainiac, who lied to them about it

          That was either so good the comics stole it or I'm not remembering properly again.

          Iconic Krypton in the comics is the crystals and togas look established by the Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN movies. Before that, it was a raygun gothic Krypton like in the DCAU.
