How have I tried to paint Snyder?
I question his moral reasoning on one specific thing. And I'm not sure how I'm misinterpreting it. This is still a Clark who grew up with human parents. He doesn't need to "learn our human ways".
People aren't wired to kill. They need reasons to kill, not the other way around. (Bear in mind, my issue is not with killing Zod. That happened in the Reeve movies too. And I didn't bring up the Batman could get raped in prison thing . . . because that's merely weird, but whatever.)
I remember Penn Jillette saying he once responded to a religious person who asked him what was stopping him from killing everyone he wanted to if there's no God. Jillette said he has killed all the people he wanted to: zero.
