* Superman was extremely reckless to this movie, where he smash through buildings and creating utter destruction. Superman actually drag a fight with Zod to Smallville instead of battling it in the vast farm fields they passed, probably for a Sears or IHop advertisement.

[[folder: Gravity?]]
* Krypton is said to have much higher gravity than Earth, and the fact that Zod's troops can make giant leaps while still insulated from Earth's environment seem to bear that out. Presumably their ships would have artificial gravity as Kryptonian levels. How come Lois can walk with no trouble? Maybe they lowered the gravity or made some other accommodation for her, because they needed her healthy (not crushed under her own weight) for the MindProbe interrogation.

* Zod has found a planet with an environment that gives his people godlike powers... and his plan is to destroy that environment and remake his old world because adjusting causes some pain. To me, the trade off of a few years adapting to the atmosphere and focusing your senses is well worth being, you know, Supermen.

* During one flashback scene, we see young Clark running around his yard wearing some kind of red clothing at his neck, trailing behind him like a cape. But, er, why? Sure, kids use other shirts for capes and run around pretending to be superheroes, but they're following Superman's inspiration. In a world without Superman, why are kids running around in red capes?

** Also remember that this movie follows the New 52's explanation that the entire ecology of the Earth contributes to Superman's powers, not just the sun. Indeed throughout the film the more exposure each Kyrptonian got, the more powerful they became. Once Zod shed his armor in the final fight he began to develop the powers on a similar level to Kal-El.

** Perhaps Jor-El is a [[GeniusBruiser]]? Just because Zod is the better fighter doesn't mean that he might fight smart, whereas Jor-El may be less of a direct fighter, more of a tactical one.

[[folder: Powered armor or superpowers?]]
* When Zod and the Kryptonians arrive on earth, they seem to have superstrength and jumping skills. Is the armor they wear PoweredArmor or are they showing the same powers as Superman? It would make sense that it's the latter, but Zod and co. only get the sense-related powers (x-ray vision, hearing, etc.) once their armor and breathers are damaged. And the armor Zod and Jor-El used on Krypton looked to give them superstrength. So did Zod and co. just get the strength powers early, or was their armor helping them out?

He has spent his entire life training to be the best, or fighting and being the best. Yet he still loses a fist-fight to Superman at the end of the film. Maybe you can handwave this as a result of Superman being far stronger due to having lived on Earth for 30 years while Zod has only been there for a day. But then at the beginning of the film he loses another fist-fight to Jor-El... who is a scientist. In this movie's universe, he has always been a scientist, and by the rules of this movie it's what he was genetically bred to be. And then he fought his planet's perfect warrior and won.
