Secret 10 - Accountability of urban destruction in superhero fights

[transcriptanon]

[Picture is Thor, as portrayed by Chris Hemsworth, and Steve Rogers, codename Captain America, as portrayed by Chris Evans, standing in the middle of a ravaged street with debris all around them. They are looking at the destruction, a little overwhelmed. Thor is wearing armor and a red cape and holding a huge hammer in one hand, while Steve is in his blue, red and white costume, holding a similarly decorated shield.]

I really don't get it when people talk about all the property destruction and human collateral damage that the heroes in action/disaster/sci-fi movies are "responsible for". Without the intervention of the heroes, the Giant Chicken that Ate Hoboken or whatever would kill everyone. Are they supposed to feel guilty for dropping ONE building on the Giant Chicken instead of letting said Chicken eat all the buildings? Would people really rather that the heroes hadn't been there?

Picture somewhat related, but this applies to multiple shows and fandoms.
