During the chat Quesada talked about Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" and said he wasn't a fan of the reboot, though his primary issue with the film may surprise you..
He says (via The Mary Sue):
"As a comic book fan, I wanted to love that movie so much. I just think at the end of the day, Zod [Michael Shannon] was the hero of the movie to me. He wanted to save his race, and Superman [Henry Cavill] didn't let him. Zod, in this particular incarnation, struck me as not necessarily an evil man, he had his orders, he had a mission. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he didn't say, 'I want to rebuild Krypton, and then come back and destroy this little planet. All I want is to rebuild this planet. And the only reason I'm blowing everything to bits here is because you've got what I want, and you're not giving it to me. So please, give me my people, and I'll leave.' When Superman said 'Krypton had its chance,' I was like, 'Will you just f*cking kill him, Zod?'...You could have had a better solution if you had written a better problem. So I see things like that, and I'm like, 'Aww, man.' It was one of some things in the movie, that I just ended up feeling disappointed in it."
If you read my review of the film--you will note my own issues with the reboot--Allowing for the Marvel/DC rivalry--I have to admit Quesada makes a valid point--It's one that did not occur to me...Until now...
