<Snipped quote by Vandy>
The fact that you had to non sequitur back to the killing issue just proves that there's no argument against my second point. MoS Superman doesn't prevent one iota of collateral damage because the writers chose to ignore it.
But I'll humor you. At what point did I say no superheroes could ever kill? I didn't. I said Superman shouldn't ever kill. In no way does that ever translate to the Avengers. Steve Rogers is a soldier. Natasha Romanoff and Clint Barton are assassins. Thor is a warrior. They all have killed in the past, so it's natural that they'll use that option when facing an invading army. Superman doesn't kill. Outside of a few rare examples in 75+ years of comics, it's just not a part of his character.
Saying Superman doesn't kill because it isn't in his character and then admitting that he has on a few rare occasions is contradicting your own argument. Why not count Zod as a rare Occasion? Supes has killed Doomsday multiple at least twice that I know of because he had no other option. And saying that it is okay for some and not for the others is the same double standard you are using to attack this movie. If Cap can kill, Supes can blow up a building. (Which he never actually did.)
But let's address the collateral damage issue since you want to continue this discussion. Most of it was caused by the world engine. All of it was caused by the villains, because they are villains. It is not Superman's fault that he couldn't stop every building from exploding. Could the writers have toned it down? Yeah sure, but Superman is literally the most powerful being on Earth and he is fighting someone with the exact same power level, realistically if beings like these were to fight shit would blow up. Just because Marvel isn't willing to blow up a few buildings during a full blown alien invasion doesn't mean DC has to hold back. Superman can move freaking planets, if someone just as powerful as him goes to earth with the intention of destroying it there is going to be damage, damage that Superman isn't going to be able to stop while being punched in the face non stop.
