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

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.
But on the plus side: You're going to get a lot more hours at work which ultimately means more money.
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 likedespite 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.
Dudes actually saying "Bu bu but Superman coulda lured Zod outside the city
" what fun would that be to watch these dudes fight over water,in a corn field or in a desert
....Typically I don't think about it,i just assume the buildings are empty,if we don't see em die it didn't happen
...MOS had much bigger problems,the destruction was one of the upsides....they did show em saving people throughout the movie,just not the man he called his pops
And fukk that that family who couldn't get out of the way of Zods eye beams even though it was nowhere near them,huddle in a corner rather than walk past it even tho superman gave u plenty of time

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.
yeah tahts the only thing that really bothers me
they could have at least had him saving a kid or something

I swear the either coli attention skills are terrible or you're being disingenuous
Winter Soldier:
The plan was to crash the carriers over the shield facility, not the great D.C. area. Any other plan would've meant those ships would've gotten in ranged to start killing civilians. Hydra started all the fire fights in the movie and they werent in area crowd with civilians. The closet to what you're referring to is the bridge scene were all the civilians left the area and they werent anywhere near the line of fire.
Avengers:
Cap especially gave every single member battle plans to account for civilians. Thor kept pressure on the portal, Ironman herded and kept the swarm in the general area and Hulk's fukk shyt up. They actually took the time acknowledge that civilians were in danger and that sentiment carried on to how the Avengers responded to Shield's nuke. Even without all that shyt, there was news report montage of survivors giving witness accounts of how an Avenger save them that day.
Where were Clark's stan giving shouts on tv? Who did Clark go out of his way to save that day
Lois? 
The moment Clark found out Zod was attack metropolis, this lame flies to the other side of the world. What was his plan? "If it takes both terraformers to terraform the Earth, I'll shut down the one in the ocean first while the army takes out the other one. You guys can handle Zod and that infinitely superior Alien technology rite, brb "Or how about the fact that Clark, being Zod's primary target the majority of the fight, decided to brawl Zod in a Metropolis instead of taking the fight somewhere else. But this Clark is a noob hero though
My favorite scene of the film is when Zod knocks Clark in to outer space and Clark bodyslams him right back into metropolis. But that isnt Clarks fault, the Earth is too big to aim for another section to land in.
Oh and hold dark live action films to the same standards you hold cartoons to, brehs.
You guys hold "dark" live action films to the same standards you hold comic books (to the point of obsession) so I don't know where you're going here

In what way? My criticisms remain the same even if this wasnt a comic book film. The majority of MoS characters do stupid shyt for for little or no reason. I dont have problem being fed a Superman who doesnt care about civilians, just dont cop pleas for it when he doesnt save them. Worst of all dont have Superman: crying about killing the person responsible for all the damage/ making out with some chick he barely knows as the city burns in the background/smile as the movie ends
all in 8mins
stop it just stop it . Even the self-absorbed Tony Stark/Iron Man showed more awareness of his surroundings and concern for civilians during his fight against Iron Monger and the drones . @ needing to be a veteran. My boy Tony does this shyt part-time .

I've just got this funny visual in my head of Godzilla walking around the city like:
Godzilla: *knocks over building*
OH! OH MY GOD! I'M SO SORRY, I'M SO SORRY! *his tail takes a bridge out* NOOOO! I DIDN'T MEAN TO DO THAT! *he accidentally backs into another building* 
SORRY, BREHS! I'M SO SORRY! *the dust and debris cause him to sneeze nuclear breath* 
*sees tanks rolling up*

Tony Stark was getting hit with a FRACTION of the force that Superman was getting hit with. Are you serious breh? Supes gets hit in the direction of a building by Zod, and he is not physically capable of not taking out that building. Tony and Scrub #1 would literally die from one punch from these dudes lol. Lets not even compare the situation
Poetical Poltergeist
Precise and cold hearted

Ironically,Godzilla showed more personality with less than 30 minutes of screen time than Superman did in his whole movie.
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 "...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
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...

Yall nikkas...

Naw yall lack vision, what ya wanna do is start ya own construction company ASAP....you'd be billionaire status in no time.
I'd be out there personally cold calling up supervillians like, "Sooo i know you're busy hatching up plans for world conquest and or the demise of your archenemy, but if i could get a moment of your time to persuade you to consider NYC as THE place where you wanna have these plans go down. It's plenty of vehicles and various heavy inanimate objects to throw, plenty of human lives to endanger or take hostage and of course plenty of buildings to punish your arch nemesis into. We would prefer if you started with Manhattan as it is the most densely populated borough of the NYC, but of course anywhere in NYC will suffice. Thank you for your time, good luck with your plans and if you're ever in need of a construction company, we here at Breh and Associates Construction, LLC are always here to do your bidding."

Billionaires don't last long in comics.
the city destruction/fight scenes was pretty much my favorite parts of that superman movie, haha. Didn't know that was a criticism.
