How it is that we've seen the same movies and the things you're "pretty sure" about are different than reality?
"Pretty sure" it was established in MOS and BvS that the property damage resulted in only 2 known deaths (Waynes employee and the little girls mother) because the building(s) had been evacuated.
All that crap was ZOD's fault anyway. Remember the line "There is only one way this ends, Kal; either you die or I do." Superman had to fight Zod in order to stop him. Zod wasn't backing down; he had nothing left to lose and was on a rampage.
Why is it that whenever the subject of the destruction in MOS comes up no one ever mentions these extenuating circumstances? Yet there's always a defense for the collateral damage done in MCU movies? I find that curious.
A) Superman was not in Metropolis for most of the destruction. The Kryptonians and the air force did 95% of that damage while superman was on the other side of the planet (and again I repeat: Saving the world).
B) that big ass crater Superman lands in, where he kisses Lois and he faces Zod, was already there.
C) Zod wanted to kill people. Superman did what he could to stop him. In a fight between two such powerful foes, one of which doesn't give two $#!@ what he's wrecking around him, there's going to be damage.
And anyway, how boring a fight would it be if Superman took him into space where there's nothing to smash into? If you want to talk about property damage there was a crap load in Avengers. In Age of Ultron they situated the Hulk/Ironman fight in a city. The Sakovia fight in a city. The Civil War fight in an airport (none of which had been evacuated by the way). Why do you think they did that? BEcause they couldn't find a way to write the story any differently? No. Its because its more visually interesting and emotionally dramatic to see the effects of such a fight.
We've finally come to a point in movie history where the FX are good enough that we can see what a fight between super humans would really look like and you don't want to see collateral damage because its a DC movie? But Marvel movies get a pass because they're Marvel? wtf?
