Zack Snyder: Star Wars 7 Has More Collateral Damage Than Man of Steel
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Snyder recalled a conversation he had with somebody who told him that Man of Steel had the most collateral damage out of any movie in recent memory. In response, Snyder brought up J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens, saying that movie must have featured a higher death total with what transpires:

“I went, really? And I said, well, what about [‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’]? In ‘Star Wars’ they destroy five planets with billions of people on them. That’s gotta be one of the highest death toll movies in history, the new ‘Star Wars’ movie, if you just do the math.”
Snyder does have a point that Star Wars 7 does kill off a great number of people, realistically far more than a single city (given that an entire planetary system was destroyed). However, it could be argued that he’s missing the larger picture. In The Force Awakens, the sequence Snyder brings up was used to illustrate the threat of the First Order and the power of Starkiller base. It was an intentional act on the villains’ part so the audience had a concrete reason to root against them. For Man of Steel, the biggest complaint wasn’t necessarily the action, it was that Superman himself (the hero) was fairly reckless in his confrontation with Zod as the two fought in a highly-populated area. To some fans, that went against the values of the character and upset them.
I don't even remember that scene.
He equaled Superman to Nazis from Space. Great.
Star Wars isn't about a super hero.
It's about WAR

i dont think this guy knows what collateral damage means
Does this man suffer from any kind of retardation? No one normal can be that dense.

MoS could be defensible but every time Snyder tries to defend it it gets less defensible.
The difference is that they couldn't have done anything to stop the First Order from destroying the Hosnian System.
They're evil, Superman is not, he's supposed to be a good guy.
Good guys don't destroy entire cities.
Is he comparing Superman to space nazis?
But lets not mention Avengers, where, while unleashing Hulk on various locations, they flattened a large chunk of New York, then oversaw the destruction of an entire city due to Stark fucking around with tech he didnt even remotely understand.
But dont mention that. SuperGoy is just awful, while IronChosen is beyond fault.
The amount damage itself isn't the issue, it's Superman nearly letting it happen and causing quite a bit of it it himself.

>It's about WAR
Have you even watched a single Star Wars movie? They don't do a great job showing that often.
>>67356935
yes, that is said in the OP
Superman wasn't even responsible for 99% of the damage
I don't get why people act like he was personally destroying skyscapers
>>67356869
Superman didn't destroy an entire city. Their fight fucked up a couple of blocks tops, most of the destruction was Zods gravity machine.
Smallville got fucked up but again, a lot of it was Zod's gang, then the US military raining hell on it, and Superman was mighty pissed because Zod was threatening his mother.
>>67356935
that's hilarious
the most iconic thing about supes being that he defends the innocent and Snyder does this shit
muh dark and gritty

Civil War is about this exactly
>>67356935
Lets be honest, he turns around in suprise.
Even he didn't think the tanker truck would explode like that, which is why he simply evaded it. Its pure hollywood bullshit.

>Civil War is about the Avengers leveling New York, random African place and Shitluania or something
And yet a lot of faggots fail to realize BvS is about the same and when they talk shit about MoS they always talk about how he destroyed Metropolis.
>>67356771
Being Ayn Rand fan counts as retardation?
>>67357440
lol stop pretending that this was planned, there's not a hint of self-awareness about that in MoS, he fucking kisses Lois while ashes rain from the sky.
Also, apparently destruction in BvS is even worse and Batman, who's so against it in the beginning is a huge reason why
