Not likely. Superman never sought the worship of people. Neither did Zod for that matter. Interestingly, in this movie, Zod is an anti-hero. He may have intended well, as his patriotism is to be admired, and I really don't blame him for killing some corrupt Krypton, but, tragically, in the planned economy, he was predesigned to be a warrior to continue the corrupt planned economy of Krypton. True, there is free will in the predesigned society (Jor El and his wife did break the law by having Kal naturally and Jor El broke the law by taking Kal from the Genesis chamber and sending him to earth. It was that Jor El believed that the whole society was too corrupted to be continued along the Krypton way and thus that Zod's idea of only keeping the good bloodlines, as he put it, wouldn't solve the problem. What made Zod a villain wasn't his efforts to save Krypton, but his efforts to kill everyone on earth when he could have just assimilated like Kal. (So the movie isn't pro-open borders either (though I heard a super man comic was lately!!!) as Kal adjusts but the alien Zod comes in and tries to transform the planet to his liking just like the illegals and Muslims are trying to transform the USA.) Also, Kal El/Clark Kent just wanted to be left alone (even ticking off the military when they tried to track him and he destroyed some pricey equipment to get them off his back).

Granted this film is a blunt crude stoner comedy. However upon analysis, years later the film reigns true the themes of inconsistancy of modern environmentalism.
Namely despite the stupidity and antics..... the films message is that the environment is salvageable with a lot of hard work.
The film ridicules contemporary education especially college, modern environmentalism (and what weve seen 20 years later) and social trending.
Despite being college students, the two girlfriends are for lack of better word poorly educated on environment around them. They question the tactics of "raising awarness" of those who think sit ins and hackey sack are suitable ways for environmental stewardship yet contribute no actual work. Their concerns are only satiated by activism; not labor. Environmentalism is a very labor intensive practice. Meanwhile the two slackers inherit a mess (admittedly one of their doing) and when their backs are against the wall; work very hard to fix it all whilst gaining social outlook, popularity and press attention. The film brings to light public/celebrity endorsement of environmental awareness, where it's popular and trendy. The dissertation from the Pope and various media outlets when Bud/Doyle are known for locking themselves inside.
The film attacks the insanity of utopian dreamers (Faulkner and the other scientists) who have grand visions for the environment and world around them only to break down and quit at the sight of reality. Doyle (stephen baldwin) passionate plea.
"Now, you guys have spent your whole lives trying to make the world a better place, right? Well, here's your chance. Only its not perfect. Its like it is out there." With passion and now incentive, they fix the calamity with a lot of hard work, ingenuity. Incentive and hard work are more important than facts and data crunching; they turn their focus on cleaning a degraded environment around them unlike the scientists that began having shuttered themselves in a pristine one.
