How can the DCU upstage the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

[Two-Face=Badass]

I shouldnt laugh but damn. See in reality nothing that happened in MoS was a mistake. Everything was portrayed the way it was intentionally. The reaction to the things that were portrayed was completely unexpected by the filmmakers, specifically Snyder who stated that he didn't understand why people didn't complain about the destruction in the Avengers.

Which is hilarious because the Avenger movies continually addressed the heroism involved in attempting to prevent casualties. No matter how much people try to defend Man of Steel, the majority of their arguments are in-text (Watsonian) reasons - "He couldn't prevent casualties, he was fighting for his life" for example. In reality, Man of Steel is a piece of fiction, and Superman could have turned into a bubblegum wrapper if they wanted him to. And as a piece of fiction, the external reasons why a narrative choice was made matters. By refusing to even provide a scene of Superman futilely attempting to take the fight elsewhere, Snyder failed to provide characterisation and development within the fight.

Or even have a more somber ending where they are mourning the losses, starting to rebuild, and striving to move forward. Instead, the destruction is just ignored and immediately afterwards the city and characters back to normal like nothing happened.
