I like how people just assume people were in the silo and the car at the station. For one, that was a SILO. You don't get people swimming around in a corn/wheat/whatever silo. Second, nobody was in the car. You know why? Nobody was shown to be in the car.
You know what film showed people in cars that were getting destroyed? The Dark Knight. A man and children were shown to be in the direct path of destruction Batman was creating. Why is Batman not on trial for this? Or for probably smashing the driver of the garbage truck like a fly when he rammed his Tumbler down it's throat? I mean, we KNOW someone was in that, as it was BEING driven. Unlike the car at the gas station in MOS. Just saying....
Alright, so Superman causes the destruction and death of god knows how many people because he was angry and pushed Zod, yet we can forgive him for that because he was simply angry? He has power, and with power comes great responsibility to resist to the temptation of using it in the wrong way, and that is not endangering people, something which he did in his anger.

Read the post by GremlinZilla. We don't even know if anyone was killed.
And he wasn't just angry. Someone had picked his mom up by the neck and was threatening her. How would you react if someone was threatening to kill your mom? He'd probably never experienced a feeling like that before.
There is no use arguing with the "SUPERMAN KILLED THE WHOLE WORLD IN MOS!" people. They are convinced they saw dead people fly out the silo he slammed Zod through and burning bodies shoot out of the gas station screaming in agony asking "Why SUPERMAN! WHY DID YOU KILL US!"
They also seem to think Superman himself leveled every building in Metropolis when all they have to do is watch the damn movie to see that is, without exaggeration, flat out wrong.
I don't hold it to a different standard, i hate it when Superman causes a level of destruction in any other media which must have lead to many people's death, i complain when it happened in Superman: Doomsday or any other story too, maybe you should just visit other places besides threads and reviews relating to one of the year's most watched film, hence why people talk about what happened in this film more than what happened in other Superman stories.It's a pointless argument. If some fans want to hold MOS up to some standard they don't hold other CBM's too and ignore all the collateral damage Supes does in the comics and cartoons then let them.
He's the hero everyone including your favorite heroes look up to and inspire to be. He's the hero everyone turns to for advice. He's the hero that will always answer your call for help no matter who you are and what he's done. He's the hero everyone wants to be.
You think that the level of destruction Superman caused wouldn't hurt anyone? And aren't you generalising certain people who didn't like this aspect a little too much? Have some respect for other people's opinions, otherwise you don't deserve it yourself
Did anybody say he leveled every building? Just because he didn't cause all the destruction it doesn't mean he didn't lead to some of it, even if it was only around 5% of it, and it's by watching the actual film, where actions are supposed to have consequences according to Zack Snyder, hence why so many people died in the film as he said, that some complain, because by following that rule, Superman himself may have caused some deaths.

And i'm tired of certain MoS fans trying to say people rated the film badly due to a notion that of what they think Superman should be like, it's not just about that, i liked it due to the action, but as a film it did fall flat, and you don't need to be a Superman fan to see that, i doubt that all the critics that dislike it did so because of some inner Supes fanboyism which thought the film went against their character.
i personally believe that the action and destruction was so great and grand in mos that they couldn't wrap their mind as what was actually going on.
All they saw was a mess. I laugh at the notion that they saw the fighting scenes as repetitive. They missed everything. They couldn't see past the first layer.
Honestly who cares about the death tolls. Fights like that happen alot in superman's world.
We all agree that bruce timm has a clear understanding of the comics. His animated shows and films of superman display a very aggressive and destructive superman. A superman that can lose his cool when his loved ones are hurt. He'll even in the donner films when lois died superman lost it and defied jorel and reversed time.
You can't say superman caused the death of many. Superman didn't throw zod through a building. Maybe dragged his face across some windows but not through a building.
zod really did the damage superman was just caught up in it.
You guys do know that you're part of the internet right? But stay in your cocoon, it's everybody else's loss that they dislike a highly flawed film, make whatever excuses you want to but The Man of Steel still isn't that a very good story. Try to use other heroes like Captain America as examples However you like, Steve fought during the freaking World War II, and was pulled straight from the middle of the battlefield to the present day, of course he's going to kill more easily than Superman.
It has been stated over and over again, in this thread and out of it, whatever you thought of the film, i think this vídeo gives some very good opinions on some of the problems in the film and the character:

Dude... You compared the characters actions in the film to a wife beater. I've seen others compare MOS to a holocaust film. You don't have to like the film. Nothing is perfect. But epic overstatements are epic overstatements.
Yet, Superman always is apart of destruction that affects people in a negative way. Buildings are destroyed and things are turned into rubble, but it's not as though he is doing it deliberately. Plus, the consequences of him not fighting have far heavier consequences. I just can't understand why this particular time or version of events is causing so much issue for some.Hey, the action's the only thing i really loved in the film, i just complain about some of the destruction Superman has caused and how he may have affected some lives in a negative way. Though inside the universe of the film the character is going to have a hard time making people trust him, when in his début he was involved in a cataclysm much bigger than 9/11.
We as an audience know he was trying to save the city, but inside the universe it's obvious that most would not trust him, but that's not really a problem in the plot as long as the next film can use this in their advantage.
