Seriously, this kind of stuff is what makes most superhero movies/content so dumb. When they're getting tossed through buildings and causing literally trillions of dollars of damage every fight, while magically not hurting innocents or getting the world pissed at them, it completely removes it from any chance of being even realated to the real world.
Some of the best super hero content is great specifically because they at least attempt to keep things grounded in mortal reality. Unfortunately, the only one I can think of right now that exemplifies it well is the blatantly obvious The Boys.
Hopefully others know of way more/better ones. I know some content creators understand this problem, so there has got to be more than a handful.
The whole plot of the Captain America Civil War movie was built on the impact of collateral damage. For another franchise, The Watchmen movie was full of super hero atrocities and even the destruction of entire cities.
I mean, Watchmen is a criticism of the superhero genre.
It deliberately goes against established tropes.
