Man of Steel 2, according to Max Landis

First off, I have to say that Max Landis didn't really approve of how Zack Snyder handled Superman. Nonetheless, the writer did find a way all around the flaws of the first Man of Steel movie.
Also, I need to add that the idea pitched by max Landis doesn't take into account the events of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, just like it makes some changes in the casting "“ most notably, Lex Luthor being portrayed by none other than Tom Hanks.
So, in regards to all the destruction from Man of Steel, Max Landis believes that it can be easily explained. Clark Kent never fought in his life (as shown in Zack Snyder's film), because he would have probably destroyed his opponents. But, in his first days as Superman, right after discovering who he is, the Earth is attacked by Zod. So a farm boy with unspeakable powers is pitted against trained soldier "“ obviously, he cannot handle the situation and all the destruction happens.
Eventually, not having his principles established yet (with his two fathers having given contradictory advices to him), he kills Zod.
And this explanation sounds pretty good and I am certain I have heard it somewhere else too "“ namely, all the fans of Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. But this has little importance. And, who knows, maybe Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will address this issue.
