That is a good point. I don't know. I guess what I'm getting at is I felt like they were trying to make Zod's death some sort of cathartic moment where he chooses humans over the last other Kryptonian and that moment wasn't supported by the film. Yes he saved a few people, but he had little connection to any people in the film. His relationship with Lois was purely professional until their out of nowhere first kiss. His relationship with his parents was there, but it suffered from cheesy and cliche dialogue. I also felt it suffered from the flashback storytelling. Never really getting a chance to know them as a family. Their scenes together seemed very utilitarian and therefore emotionally hollow. That made it harder to empathize with his internal struggle at the end.
