Why didn't he just terraform a different planet?
because he's a conqueror and not a cuck
Because the movie needed a conflict.
That's literally the only reason.
>>68103383
cause he needed superman and earth was right there
>>68103504
Mars is right over there and maybe the guy that you need would be more helpful if you don't genocide the planet where he grew up.
>He'd do anything for his people
>He has a personal grudge with Jor-El (he made a promise to Kal's parents that he would find him)
>He needs Kal because the codex is inside him

>not every planet can be terraformed, why waste more time looking for a suitable one when they're already there? They explicitly say that they are above morality, so genocide isn't an issue for them, in their eyes they're being pragmatic.

I bet you think the Joker in TDK didn't actually plan anything out either because he said so.
He clearly isn't above morality and pramatism, since he swore revenge and destruction on the child of his enemy. If he really was above that, then he wouldnt have cared beyond getting the Codex and making a new world.
>>68103383
Why did he try teraforming a planet that already supported his species?

Would you exterminate a planet of inferior aliens to save the human race?
Think of our history, our technological advancements, our art, your family.
Wouldn't you do it?
Why did Zod ask for Lois to be brought onto the ship?
>dead for 2 years

He's a kryptonian
Why didn't he just terraform krypton to not blow up?
>>68104655
But they clearly decay, seeing as how Superman was shriveled up and old when he 'died' after getting nuked with Doomsday

it was because he was out of sun energy

They can somehow increase Earth's mass, but melting Mars' core to recreate a magnetosphere hell no that's impossible.
I love the "MoS is bad" meme.

Because earth is the center of the universe and Krypton paled in comparison to earth. Earth was the last remaining earthlike planet in the universe.

>>68104321
Are you actually autistic? You clearly understand that no one is suggesting they make a planet out of nothing. Terraforming a different planet is not making a planet out of nothing. He said the foundation has to be built on something. There is no indication what so ever that something had to be Earth. Fuck even humans could terraform Mars to suit our needs. You don't think the super advanced World Engine wouldn't work on Mars?

Honestly was the whole codex and teraforming thing necessary?
Wouldn't Zod just wanting to conquer Earth have been enough?
>>68104842
Superman was impaled and the wound healed
Zod had his nech broken you can't come back from that

Terraforming Earth is redundant
He was Kryptoforming

I thought the colony worlds died because of some kind of civil war, that's why they found the corpse gripping a rifle (also the corpse didn't have a space suit).
>>68104257
easy there braniac, don't pop an aneurism
>>68105812
With all the Jesus imagery flying around, you would think Superman would have died by having his sides pierced by the spear
Guess you can't expect Snyder to have anything but the most superficial knowledge on the subject

She's cute, she doesn't need to know stuff.

What did she mean by this?
>>68105960
jesus side being pierced is the most superficial knowledge
>>68105245
He was using the only tool at his disposal to kill all inhabitants on Earth. It's the sun that makes them superhuman, not the planet.
>Michael Shannon will never plunge his monster dong into your tight boipussi
Kill me
>>68104257
I don't think they said anything about other planets not being suitable, and the machine seems to be able to change the atmosphere and mass of a planet, so why not any planet?
>>68105960
There's a point Snyder makes with the religious imagery, but I'm not going to explain shit to you plebs so you can continue embarrassing yourselves. :^)
>>68105279
So glad that annoying little slag wasn't in BvS
I mean I dont like embracing memes and discussing memes. Vast majority of peoole that dislike DC flicks just dont like them. But then you have the small contingent of real live idiots who feel the urges to go out their way to point out "plot holes" or other nonsense instead of just moving on with their lifes to the next flick. Of what ive seen, the peoole that feelbthe urge to do this for DC films are some of the dumbest to ever do it. Their complaints are just stupid. Low intelligence i dont know if the movies are too smart for them, im not saying that. Thenmovies are basic, they are just dumb.
Kryptonians breathe oxygen
There OP are you satisfied?
And before you say anything, earth atmosphere is 80% nitrogen but humans breath oxygen. Lois needed a breather, Clark choked out, because Krytpon was 80% whatever but Kryptonians breath oxygen. New Krypton needed oxygen
Now go off and rethink your life, or stay here and post your next "plot hole"
>>68106064
Since Snyder operates with the subtlety of a steamroller I doubt he wouldn't have used the Longinus story if he knew it
>>68106161
>Superman literally gets stabbed in the side when he dies

It's the chest not the side
>>68106218

>terraforming earth
was Zod retarded?
>>68103479
This.
Plus, Zod was in the right at the beginning but we were supposed to see as a bad guy only because he was angry and killed one of the incompetent leaders who doomed the planet in the first place.
Everyone and everything in Man of Steel is dumb.
>>68106271
Obviously, considering Mars, a planet we will be able to terraform in a few decades/century maybe, was right there. Why destroy a species you could just easily dominate and make into slaves?
Because earth was already scanned by Kryptonians, everything was there already.
Plus it would put Superman in a tough spot and buy Zod more time.
Fucking terrible movie anyway though.
>>68106418
>decades
Can I have some of what you're smoking?
>>68106515
The technology is mostly there, if we threw all out resources at it we could start teraforming Mars
Not that it's worth it
>>68103383
I've been thinking, it would've been pretty cool if they went with a Superman II type thing where it was just Zod and his two soldiers, who after trying to lead a coup on Krypton, come to Earth and pose as Messiah figures, so the Earth basically allows them conquer them, and then Superman has to reveal himself and fight them. The religious imagery wouldn't have been as hamfisted, and it removes the whole World Engine thing. I know Zod was like genetically loyal to the concept of rebuilding Krypton, but why live as a man when you can live as a God?
>>68104485
didnt want his people to feel the pain of adapting to the atmosphere like clark did when he was a child. zod adapted fsst because he is the a bred warrior. also think of the chaos there would be with millions of super strong people. making earth into krypton 2.0 fixes all of that

>>68104590
So the only reason why Mars is not suitable is the missing magnetosphere, which can be generated by melting the solid core.
Have you seen that huge ass world engine thing, that needs two parts on the opposing sides of the planet to work simultaneously? If that thing can't do that, they were never fit to colonize other planets in the first place.
>>68104842
To be fair, now he's gonna be double dead. Hard to come back from that.
>>68105261
>There is no indication what so ever that something had to be Earth

I'd say that their limitations serve as a good indicator of where Kryptonian civilization was from a tech standpoint. Good enough to attempt colonization and limited "kryptoforming." but not good enough to turn an uninhabitable planet into a permanently friendly environment,
Personally, I always thought that Zod just wanted to use the engine as an efficient, hands-free means of killing off the humans. He, Faora, and Non don't seem to have problems killing people face-to-face, but the other Kryptonians might have had a change of heart if they had to do any of the dirty work first-hand.
Even at superspeed, face-to-face murder of every person on the planet is going to take a lot of time. Zod's got bigger fish to fry.
The real question is why he bothered to terraform the planet at when they could all get god-like super powers from just hanging around for a while and basically become invincible.
>>68107681
I think this>>68107649.
"People dead? Good. Now shut it off and let's all spend some time getting super, free of all those bothersome negotiations, treaties, and attempted nuclear reprisals."
>Why didn't the villain choose not to be an asshole?
He wouldn't be a villain.

Mars is right next door. It has all of the same make up as earth except it has a thinner atmosphere. They could have easily done it on Mars and then we'd have bro next door neighbors.
Just really shitty writing like most of the DCU.
>>68104590
>Superman's parents search for what is apparently a relatively short amount of time and easily find Earth, a prime candidate for Kryptonians to apparently adapt to from an early age AND is a prime target for their form of terraforming
>Zod fucks about going to different outposts when he could have even more easily have probably found better candidates in the time he had
I know the plot had to happen and Zod had to fight Superman and all that but space is fuckhuge. If Superman's parents found Earth that quick then there had to be other shit out there. Mars has nothing to do with it for me.
>>68108413
The lack of a magnetosphere was probably a big factor. Not much in the way of water, either.
post Auntie you fucking kekolds
>>68104701
Why didn't he just terraform one of the thousands of starsytems he passed on the way to Earth that probably had even larger stars?
Why did the writers decide to go with a terraforming machine plot instead of a planet-destroying machine of death that Zod simply modified from something else just to be a dick? It would have made far more sense in that he still made no sense and came off as insane in his terraforming plan.
>>68108671
did you even watch the movie? Zod and his crew were searching for survivors at the outposts, didnt find any but found the world engine. Then they prioritized finding the codex, and had to search among potentially hundreds of planets. It was only after superman reactivated the lost ship that they found out where super man was
The whole plan was to revive krypton, they needed the codex because kyrtonians were infertile. Thats what made clark such a big deal, natural birth and all, not bred for a predetermined role
>>68108671
Well, for one thing, Jor encoded the Codex information into Kal, and the Codex/genetic "destiny" of Krypton is essentially Zod's religion. You don't call a natural conception and birth "heresy" unless you're pretty zealous for your belief in the program.
In other words, Zod had no intention of stopping anywhere until he found Kal and the Codex.
