I'm confused, why does nobody care about the citywide death and destruction in Godzilla or Xmen?

[TheGodling]

Godzilla is a monster that rampages through cities. If you don't understand how that's different from the O.G. superhero, iconic for protecting every life he can, then yeah... end of story.

I didnt have problem with the fight but if you think about it, after Zods plan was ruined in MOS, Supes should have realized that Zod only had one purpose left, to kill him, so he should haved lured Zod outside the already destroyed Metropolis to prevent more damage similar to what he did in Superman2

 

[obarth]

Because people watched Man of Steel with an agenda.

This. Superman has been involved in fights that level buildings and destroy good chunks of cities(resulting in who knows how many deaths) countless times through all the mediums he's been depicted in. This is just people that didn't want to like the movie and don't like the character looking for something to complain about. Same losers watched Avengers like

despite multiple characters with the ability to cause less destruction going ham anyway. I can go on Youtube right now and up some of Superman's fights to make nikkas look really silly right now:





And it's not just when he's fighting villians either

This faux outrage over the damage that occurs in MOS is probably the most disingenuous complaint I've heard over a comic book movie (which is saying a lot). If you have an inkling of familiarity with the character you'd know this shyt has happened a lot. Minus Kryptonite, you're going to need amazingly powerful foes if you're trying to believably put Supes in peril. That's only gonna lead to DBZ levels of destruction. The destruction in MOS is to a grander scale but that should be expected: it's a blockbuster summer movie with a huge budget.

NYC is the worst place to live in Comics wise. shyt gets destroyed daily. If your the Mayor, you gotta plan every monday to be kidnapped for Ransom. Also sucks if you work in construction, cause all that repair work going to be fukked up.

Because Godzilla is a monster and doesn't give a fukk/doesn't know better and most of the cast of "Captain America" is humans. Captain America is the strongest character in that movie and even he can't do jack shyt against a helicarrier dropping out the sky.

Superman has the power to control exactly how much damage he does....he should know better....and yet he chose to punch people through buildings. So nah it's not the same thing man.

Fred.

To this day...something that still makes me ...is in superman returns...he takes the globe in front of the Daily Plant office...and just puts it on this dude car...crushing it...

I was like "what a piece of shyt superman is "..."this fukking guy" ...like how is his guy supposed to put a claim in on his fukking car...he going to call up state farm and be like "superman dropped a big ass globe on my car" ...they going to be like "yeah okay"...or even worse...they fukk around and charge you a superman tax for just the random shyt he breaks...oh great superman now i got to pay out the ass fees for insurance cause of your big dumb ass...got to get the superman tax plan that cost more than my mortgage...or just pay a 15 dollar fee to cover all the shyt superman might break... dude take that globe and freeze it with your breath and just shatter it...

Most irresponsible superhero ever...don't even get me started how he took that big ass krypton berg and just tossed it into outerspace...i wounder what alien civilization got destroyed when it collided with their planet...

Those helicarriers weren't just dropping for no reason...Captain America's big master plan in Winter Soldier was to crash those helicarriers over greater Washington DC; and let's not forget that he and his crew kept getting into firefight after firefight in areas crowded with civilians.
In Avengers you had giant snake monsters and an army of aliens attacking NYC in the middle of the day during a work week yet no civilians got hurt? And while Cap/Widow/Hawkeye tried to do damage control, Thor/Iron man/Hulk gave no thought to innocent bystanders while they were fighting.
Now I could give less than a fukk about all of this damage of property and casual loss of innocent life but the folks who have had a bug up their asses about Man of Steel for a year now need to keep it real and whine about it in all of these super-hero movies if it bothered them so much in MoS.

@ this struggle thread. Godzilla is meant to cause destruction(that's his purpose), The future setting in X-MEN was a dystopia and was actually a major plot point in the film. Superman destroys half of the city himself mans was throwing Zod through buildings , Zod kicks an oil tanker at him and instead of throwing it into the sky, mans simply hovers over it and lets it explode in the background, despite civilians being in the area .

How do you dudes not understand that this was his first time ever dealing with another super powered being? You're expecting veteran fukking Superman saving citizens and fighting enemies at the same damn time. I think they said they're going to address the destruction and shyt in future movies

EXACTLY

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Some of you dumb nikkas didn't pay attention during Man of Steel and I've explained it a hundred times on here. Go back and watch. Superman isn't throwing Zod through buildings.. Zod takes the action to the middle of the city and is actually throwing Superman through shyt.. There's nothing Superman could have really done differently. Zod is a fukking kryptonian war god.

nikkas will nitpick the dumbest shyt.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Wait a sec, people COMPLAIN about destruction in MOVIES?
























You guys are fukkin stupid.

 

[Ain't That Something]

Why bring it up, it's the same fakkits in here that hate on every movie. I just pay them no mind and toss their opinion to the bushes. My one regret was listening to them fakkits before seeing the movie that's why from now one I see a movie 1st then come in here and see the usual suspects bytching

What's this? You mean people actually have a difference of opinion?

You don't say.

 

[El Cocodrilo]

I did think the amount of destruction was a bit much, and Superman coulda lured Zod out of the city BUT it doesnt break the movie for me, still p. dope overall

If there is one thing that is a big flaw in MOS is how fukkin stupid Kevin Costners death is.
