I mean, most decent superhero movies I see acknowledge inner city chaos to be bad. As soon as a horrible villain starts throwing fireballs, they’re trying to get civilians out, save people amidst chaos, etc.
There’s maybe another conversation to have on property damage; I think there’s not much story there due to the way insurance works. To us, these chaotic battles happen every summer, but in these worlds they’re rare freak occurrences - just like earthquakes.
Nah, that greatly depends on the universe. For an example of handling it badly, watch … basically any of the DC universe live-action movies.
They’re so bad that Batman regularly mercs people. Y’know, Batman. The guy who canonically takes issue with killing even violent terrorists actively killing others, let alone Security Guard #28201…
Superman gets thrown through buildings, uses laser eyes through buildings, etc, etc, and I shouldn’t have to explain how Superman also takes issue with harming at least innocents. They might mention it, but then go on to have the city fight anyways with virtually none of their fighting actions indicating any reluctance…
I do NOT give them points for adding a throwaway line of, “You big meanie! We shouldn’t fight in the city!”
I’m vaguely aware of that, but that’s also why I never really lined up for Zack Snyder movies on release. He has a uniquely ignorant take on those heroes.
I don’t know if I’d call him ignorant (maybe willingly so) but more of the typical Hollywood dudebro that likes spectacle more than … basic logic. Such a terrible lot of “creators”…
