I've never seen The Richard Donner Cut's so I'l have to take your word for it.

It's better than the original version, and a shame he didn't get to do both films the way he really wanted to.

That being said, the official version we got had Zod and crew killed. No way around this one.

No they were not. It was left to the audience to figure if they were alive or dead. They are Kyrptonians, they just don't die falling in the artic. Did we see the bodies of the dead Kryptonians? Superman smile at Zod because he knew they would be stuck in the ice like they were in the Phantom Zone.

At that point, they didn't have their Kryptonian powers anymore. Noticed how Lois managed to punch Ursa down so easily? 

But, if you really want to play it like that, Superman killed Zod in 1987. He premedited it, actually. And yeah, it was the canon Superman (not an elseworld's) who did that.

Thanks.
