What do you want to do with the codex?

Poor Obvi-Ous is unfortunately stopped in the middle of pointing out his incoherence by a disintegrating pistol shot in the mouth, which somewhat prevents him from continuing his conversation. Because it wasn't Jor-El who fired, but a group of hostile-looking newcomers, commanded by the terrible General Zod.

"That's enough now! Krypton has no more time for your discussions! We must act: give me the codex! Jor-El, step aside!"

– I will use it… to revive our civilization elsewhere! 
– Well, that, NEVER!
– But wait, man, you just explained that it was exactly your pl… »

While the audience is still wondering how it can be so bad in the first few phone number library minutes, Jor-El pushes Zod around and tries to escape his troop to get the codex, which is stored in an obviously unguarded room. After grabbing it, Jor-El flees on his flying dragon while he is pursued by the bad guys' ships. Because yes, like him, he is nice, he rides friendly mythical animals while the bad guys have ships that go bbw bbw and gruwululu. I think that in the first version, he fled on a majestic unicorn, but someone thought that it would show, there, anyway. So, we also removed the part where it is explained that he lives in a mushroom guarded by a silky rabbit. Still, try it around you: go up to someone who hasn't seen the movie and say, "  Honestly, in Man of Steel, I love the scene where Russell Crowe rides a dragon ," and there's a 97% chance they'll look terrified and wonder what you saw, but yes, yes, it was Man of Steel .

In short: the fact remains that Jor-El rushes home to find his sweetheart, who, wanting to prevent his son from ending his life, barely begun, on Krypton, has already found a planet to send his kid to: Earth. It has a somewhat primitive population but who will be able to take care of the child, even if he will inevitably be rejected for his difference (unless by the greatest chance, he happens to land in a corner of the planet where the population is as white as him and where he can blend in perfectly). So Jor-El tinkers with something with the codex and his son, sticks everything in a rocket that was waiting at his house (on Krypton, the rocket on his launch pad at home is totally trendy, you can find plenty of them at Ikea), programs Earth as the destination and sends everything into space, only too happy to get rid of this screaming pink thing with a layer that obviously also contains a large unstable core.
