Why didn't Zod just terraform Mars in Man of Steel?

T4R. I'm sure that those magical space machines would have been capable of restarting Mars' core, or at the very least, replenish it's atmosphere to Kryptonian standards. It would take a while for the atmosphere to dissipate. More than enough time for them to maintain it, even if the core is dead.

Humans would have been killed off when the planet was terraformed.

General Zod did it for the evulz.

Not to mention the fact that there are millions if not billions of other earth like planets out there that he could have chosen.

And why would you need slaves when your people are exponentially stronger and faster than the average human?

He originally wanted Superman for his plot device DNA or something IIRC.

I think he just did it for convenience because Earth happened to be the closest planet and he doesn't really give two shits about humanity.

But he could have just been like " yo dawg, I want to restart my extinct race or whatever, can you point me in the direction of the closest earth like planet?". We could have given him a list of 603 possible candidates, he wouldn't have had to fight super dude, and he could have gotten jiggy with whatever he needed to to bring his people back.

Again, convenience.

Why travel millions upon millions of miles again to find a suitable planet just because a bunch of lesser beings inhabit the one he has found?

Plus the very concept that Superman exists (a natural birth) is heretical according to Kryptonian customs, so he wasn't just trying to kill him for the fuck of it.
