“Well my fullness, as I explained to you before, I’m about the best there is”. Hilarious dialog and indeed Hackman delivers it better than anyone could.

One of the nice touches in the scene is Nan clearly understanding what is happening and being able to portray that in a non verbal way. He is not just a brute, but an integral part of what is occurring and why. Great acting

The question that still haunts me to this day is this: If Zod had defeated Superman, would he have kept his promise to Lex, or would he have killed him? What do you think about that?

B4 the the battle at the fortress of solitude he would have killed him.. he knows a rat 🐀 like that cant be trusted if hes willing to sell his whole race out... But after he told Zod what Superman 🦸♂️ was up to at the Fortress Zod called Luthor the Ruler of Australia 🇦🇺... So at that point 👉 i think Zod would have done it
@nickblooruk

I have thought about this.... In the first Superman, Lex almost kills Superman by tricking him to take some Kryptonite, so he's very dangerous. Superman knows this, but Zod doesn't. I would imagine that Lex would search for the piece that was thrown away, (or find / construct more). Of course, Zod doesn't know any of this. However, although Zod wants power and rule, he doesn't appear to know how to Govern. Lex does. He also seems very useful and loyal. I would imaging that someone like Lex, due to his intelligence and creativity would make ruling a lot more interesting than just sitting in the Oval office doing nothing.
