Yeah that makes sense. I was a criminology major at first and eventually I realized how few careers there are with that other than some variety of cop or lawyer, and since I’m not interested in either of those I switched to English (since my minor was already English-adjacent anyway)
It’s admittedly been quite a while since I’ve read any comics, so I’m partially going off memory here. But zod in the comics was a lot more intelligent, less militaristic (though it is still there), and wanted to make Earth like krypton not in the sense of literally transforming it, but by changing the society to be as such
