I actually found the Zod character interesting and difficult to grasp BECAUSE he's such a cunt

He could have won very easily if he stopped being a cunt for five seconds. In fact, he could have even won very easily if he merely pretended to stop being a cunt for five seconds. But somehow being a cunt was more important to him than winning, than surviving. And the movie tells us this is supposed to be genetic, that he's enslaved to his obligation to be a cunt, that every Kryptonian was except for Kal-El.

It reminds me of Willem Dafeo's character in The Lighthouse, the person who just keeps making things worse even when you hope he might stop for just a moment.

I get the points you can make, Zod is the bad guy, Zod is autistic, whatever

But I can't let go of the fact that he'd have fucking won if he could be reasonable or even pretend to be reasonable for one fucking second. He literally condemned himself and his species to death because he could not control his impulse to be the biggest asshole possible, 100% of the time

Why? Fucking Skeletor has more chill than him
