Superman 2013

So I saw this movie last night. It was good, aside from some minor quibbles. The most major of the minor quibbles for me was a scene where one of General Zod's henchpeople confronts Superman and explains to him why he will lose. She said something along the lines of, "you learned morality, we evolved with no morality, and you know what they say: evolution always wins!"

Well sir, I wanted to yell at the screen, "no! you're misrepresenting evolution! You'll ruin everything!" How many people, after seeing this movie, are going to think (despite the fact it is said by a villain) that evolution and morality are mutually exclusive? That evolution is something that "wins" over compassion and kindness? The opposite is true; the two are inseparable (at least on Earth. And from what I could tell of Krypton, the same moral sentiments are present is some of the people there.)
