Ok, i'll not call it what superman movie 'needs',
i'll just post it here because i can't make a new thread unfortunately and i couldn't find a correct place to plant this.
Something struck me and kept playing with me from the Man of Steel movie;
When Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman enters the 'ice caged' 'scouting ship' that's been supposedly laying there for about 20.000 years, he runs into a couple of PODS.
in one pod, there's a 'mummified' remains of former kryptonian explorers.
however, in one of the other pods, the pod-door is OPEN.
this obviously suggests SOMEBODY escaped/left that pod.
There could be a very big story here, for multiple reasons.
First of all, what happened to the scouting ship? In the MOS story, we find out 'contact was lost' to Krypton, and when ZOD visited outposts, he found nothing but death.
Something that bothers me here, is the reason WHY there is death. They say the've ran out of natural resources. Weird to me, that these 'outposts' did not find a way back to krypton. I can accept being cut-off from krypton being the problem to achieve that, what i do wonder is HOW they got cut-off.
The thing is, i can really only see being cut-off from krypton because krypton was destroyed. But krypton was destroyed close after the birth of Kal-El/Superman/Clark Kent.
Then, Zod was released from their 'control' and went on to seek 'survivors'.
I can not believe all these outposts were dead as fast as after just a couple of years after Krypton was destroyed, so being cut-off MUST have had other cause.
Which, brings us to the obvious point that since the Scout ship that contained a genesis-chamber probably has been cut-off from krypton some 20.000 years before it's destruction.
It could be assumed the same can be said for the other outposts, because the remains were al in a similar shape as the 'mummy' in the pod.
That means something happened 20.000 years ago, right?
Now, the thing that is truly odd, and incomprehensive, is that Zod or whoever it was, stated that these outposts consumed their resources and therefor 'died'.
But, here we have this scouting ship, containing Kryptonian lives, that ended 20.000 years ago. But, Earth, was not 'deplenished' of natural resources. Earth, 20.000 years later is full of life.
What was the reason this scouting ship went to earth? What did it find there 20.000 years ago, and why did they not 'terraform' earth back then?
And, since there were enough resources; how did that ship become 'encaged' in ice? why is there a dead mummy in a pod?
And again, why is one pod left 'vacant' ?
did this craft 'crash'? it could still fly perfectly though, so it cannot have been damaged! it worked perfectly, so, it must have been in fully functioning condition when it got 'iced' 20.000 years ago.
So how did it get iced?
And, above all, WHO was the person in that vacant POD,
and WHAT happened to him/her?
and What did he/she do to Earth? is there a story here? some ancient story?
i think there's a big, big story to be taken out of this open POD.
It's a shame the scounting vessel is destroyed, though.
what do you guys think?
and ps. Imho, wouldn't this deserve it's own thread?
I think to keep things fresh they could introduce characters like Kara and Steel. We haven't really seen Superman with his 'sidekicks' on film.
On on the villain side, maybe Lex, Metallo, and Brainiac (ala Morrison's first New 52 arc). Would love to see Steel vs Metallo. And maybe open the movie with Superman taking care of Parasite or something.

If memory servers the open pod you're talking about had something to do with Kara. I think it was like in comic book made for the movie. That open POD was a reference to that. I could be wrong that was a few years ago but i know there was some sort of set up for Kara tied in to Man of Steel some how.
I still find it funny looking through these threads where folk describe their perfect Superman movie in 2009-2010 and they describe MOS.
I know everyone is clamoring for M. Vaughn to direct and I feel he is a good choice.
If they cant convince him to take on MOS II, my vote would go to Rupert Wyatt, who I thought did a great job with Rise of the POTA.
