One of the problems with Man of Steel is the same problem that a lot of the DCCU has. It sets things up to tell the story of a new universe with their own interpretations of the characters, but then they demand the audience view things through the lens of past interpretations.

Like, so what if Superman kills Zodd? That's an established moral quandary for old Superman, not this new Superman. We're given no real indication in the film that this should be such a crisis of character for him, and yet it that's how they tried to portray it by inappropriately referring back to our understanding of his characterization in other series.
