Idk what you’re talking about when I said you should die, but that family could have gotten out of the situation another way like:
•Running away before Zod started the laser eye blast like everyone else did.
•Crawling under the beam
•Taking about 2 steps forward and going around the thing they’re crammed against.
OR since Superman has the strength to snap his neck, he also has to at least have the strength to:
•Lift Zod’s head a bit so that the beam is at a different angle and the family can just walk under it
•Push Zod’s head down a bit so that the family could jump over the beam
