I think this is the result of both Snyder and Goyer not having an exact idea of what they wanted to do with the story, so, instead of seeing Superman save people and build a reputation before taking on Zod, we jump into destruction. I agree with you on this.

-Loopy is spot on with the Tornado scene.
Disagree. Felt this was one of the better, more emotional scenes in the movie. But I can see people finding it cheesy. Hated that Clark essentially disowned his parents prior to the death happening. So stupid.

-Why were there no natural births on Krypton anymore? Why was Kal-El the only one?
Don't remember if it was explained, but I'd reckon the leaders of Krypton felt genetically creating soldiers and scientist predisposed was best in continually developing their society. Also, this was supposed to make Clark an outcast on both Krypton and Earth, but neither was really expanded on, outside of some flashback scenes. It was a good idea that was never delved into.

-That open/empty pod in the ship? Yah, we can revisit it in a sequel but not even a hint or other reference to it?
I don't even know if they will expand on it in a sequel. Feel like it was just Snyder being cheeky with fans with zero intent on actually doing naything about it in the next film.

-In one scene Lois Lane chugs a glass of whisky/bourbon and in the next her line is "What if I have to tinkle?" Is that a reference to something from the comics? It was jarring to hear "tinkle" as odd as that sounds.
Just ineffective writing?

Quote:
-The family of four that Zod is trying to kill at the end....are they ok n stuff?
Who cares, Frank? The point of the scene was clearly to show how conflicted Clark was in killing Zod, a man he barely knew, who was the second to last man from his home planet, a planet he had zero emotional attachment to, and spent all of five minutes learning about in the Spark Notes program on the vessel by digital dad, Jor-El. Get your head out your ass, Frank, and be a fanboy, accepting this as what it is!!!

But yeah, I agree you with a lot of what you said. Meh.
