<Snipped quote by Eddie Brock>

I didn't say it was his first option nor his gut reaction. It was what he felt he had to do. And think about it, what else was he going to do? The phantom zone projectors were all destroyed. You can't hold Zod in a prison. You can't let him go after a stern talking to and expect him not to return. Christopher Reeves killed Zod depowered in the fortress of solitude with a smile. In that he had plenty of other options yet everyone seems to ignore that.

Do I blame Superman for ultimately taking the only choice he had left? Not really. Do I blame the writers for [I]making[/I] it his only option? Hell yes. I can write a Spider-Man story where his only logical option is to shoot Norman Osborn in the head. Doesn't mean I should.
