Why all the hate for Man of Steel?

[Coidzor]

I would accept that argument if it weren't for the fact that, like I said, the same criticisms aren't leveled against other Superman media. When Superman fights in Metropolis in the Justice League cartoon, it's totally reasonable to assume there was a successful evacuation effort beforehand,; when Superman fights in Metropolis in Man of Steel, the exact same assumption is "blowing off" the consequences of fighting in a city. The fact that Superman has gotten in plenty of fights with plenty of explosions in Metropolis in media people don't lambaste for it indicates that it's not really fighting in Metropolis, itself, that's the problem.

EDIT: How do Superman's efforts prove hopeless? Did the Earth get blown up in some after credits scene I missed or something?

Different media, different tones, different universes...
