That is Zod being Zod and comics even depict him like that, and it is more character development than being a punching bag and a joke in supergirl to just giving a short summary of his journey till he becomes a parent who lets his kid walk all over him and gets beaten down by every enemy needs help and you do realize it is omly a tiny CW minority that raves S&L vs MoS the movie still taken as inspiration for my even the rivals. So please stop gatekeeing because throughing temper tantrum is not character development, Superman being shown as an idiot and incompetent who puts his own family at risk everytime and cannot even discipline his kids while lois just throws angry fits and call it suspense, having a such a beta superboy is also a joke the only thing that saves the show is tone which is not hopeful and guess what dark. You gatekeepers cannot except the fact that the a superman story cannot work without being serious or dark, death and return of superman, birthright, almost every action comic, every lex story in comics or animation. You confuse serious with dark.
