It seems each new movie feels the need to top the destruction of the one before, ie AVNGR. At a certain point the disregard for the human

cost, even CG, stretches credibility.Ā  Daily Planet was quickly rebuilt and everyone just went back to work as if nothing happened.

BF: This was my only complaint re: SUPR2. Too much death and destruction to Metropolis. Antibody Jun 18, 10:07

would have been worse if he didnt try to stop their evil plans {nm} Moviesnob Jun 18, 10:14

It shouldn't been written that way. As Variety discussed, too many films are exploiting 9/11. Antibody Jun 18, 10:20

or Superman should have taken Zod into outer space. {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 10:25

to minimize the collateral damage at least. {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 10:26

It's not the scenario. It's a battle to the death (announced by Zod) and all of earth is at stake, imminently, if Zod wins. {nm} KalElFan Jun 18, 10:37

So there was no choice and it was collateral damage. Whether it should have been written that was is another issue. {nm} KalElFan Jun 18, 10:39

I think it's fine. The global stakes and fictional Metropolis in an SF movie don't "exploit" 9/11 at all IMO. {nm} KalElFan Jun 18, 10:41

as told by our resident superman apologist LOLOLOLOL {nm} adrenalin112 Jun 18, 10:51

they make it clear Zod's intent to is to inflict as much damage and death as possible. Moviesnob Jun 18, 10:30

Agreed they never/rarely do in the movie(s) where it happens per se. It could have ramifications in MOS2 though. We'll see. {nm} KalElFan Jun 18, 10:44

this was my complaint as well. Earth surrendered Supes to Zod and went into space... then supes escapes...? adrenalin112 Jun 18, 10:54

While in space, Superman SHOULD have... (spoilers) BSmurf Jun 18, 12:07

did we just become best friends? {nm} adrenalin112 Jun 18, 13:02

Would have been fine if the council had just let... islander Jun 18, 10:31

THIS TOO. why save the criminal from death, but LOL our planet is gonna die and so are we. LOL we dumb {nm} adrenalin112 Jun 18, 10:55

Seems Krypton is against Capital Punishment. Same with the TREK2 villain. {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 10:57

they weren't convinced their world was gonna die. They were still in denial. {nm} Moviesnob Jun 18, 11:10

So, genetically engineered leaders who are taught from birth how to lead, and yet can't make a single rational decision? DUMB PLOT BSmurf Jun 18, 12:12

This happened in the original Superman movie as well. {nm} Bastron Jun 18, 12:08

Not sure if serious. When did critics become such wusses? thatpj Jun 18, 10:46

Half the city was destroyed wihout any consequences. It's cartoon violence. Expected more from a live-action film. {nm} Antibody Jun 18, 13:24

I look forward to my children grabbing heavy objections and bashing them repeatedly into the ground SPOILER robb1138 Jun 18, 11:12
