April 28, 2014: Joe Quesada Wanted Zod to Kill Superman in "Man of Steel"

Man of Steel Joe Quesada, Marvel Entertainment's Chief Creative Officer, spoke with Kevin Smith on his "Fat Man on Batman" podcast where he revealed that he not only didn't like "Man of Steel", but he obviously has a bias against the character, blatantly misunderstanding the film's premise.

    "As a comic book fan, I wanted to love that movie so much," said Quesada. "I wanted to love it so much, and I didn't love it so much. Again, there are little things here and there that you could pick at and things like that, but I just think at the end of the day, Zod was the hero of the movie to me."

    "He wanted to save his race, and Superman didn't let him," explained Quesada.

    Quesada added, "Zod, in this particular incarnation, struck me as not necessarily an evil man, but a man of...he had a particular...he had his orders, he had a mission. He was a zealot of sorts, but he was a zealot...again, correct me if I'm wrong... but he didn't say, 'I want to rebuild Krypton, and then come back and destroy this little planet. All I want is to rebuild this planet. And the only reason I'm blowing everything to bits here is because you've got what I want, and you're not giving it to me. So please, give me my people, and I'll leave."

Seriously?! What movie was he watching? Did he not see the sequence with all the human skulls where Zod clearly explained to Kal how he planned to rebuild Krypton here, by destroying the Earth?!

Wow!
