Clearing debris? Carrying supplies? Both good points. Ah, I can see the glint of new skyscrapers already, well in time for the sequel.
And who would get the contract? - Lex Luthor. 😉 And so it would begin...
Though, wouldn't it be neat to also see Wayne Enterprises on items in the city, too...

So much fail...
I don't think the film ducks those questions, about how much Superman could be responsible just by being on Earth to begin with; similar questions get raised in the Avengers and The Dark Knight. But ultimately he's not to blame, anymore than Thor is for Loki's jealous rage or Batman is for the Joker. In the end, a guy with bad intentions and an overwhelming edge on his opposition is going to do what he's going to do. Blaming Superman for Zod is like blaming the Jews for the Holocaust.

Spoiler:
i love how he was addressed as superman only once this movie.. probably the reason why lois keep calling him clark..

The adults went to WWZ and the kids went to Monsters U this weekend so it's not surprising it went to 3rd place as I suspected it would. I still suspect it will reach 300 million though. Doing some research ASM had a 10 day total of 165 million while MOS has a 10 total of 198 million and that isn't including the Wal-Mart showings. And there is still 3 big foreign markets that haven't seen the realease yet and those countries are Brazil, Australia, and Japan so it's gonna make money no matter what.
I have to say, I LOVED this movie! It takes the number 2 spot right behind Avengers for me. There are two complaints about this movie, that I think aren't very well thought out.
About Pa Kent's wanting Clark to hide who he is, I believe this was for his own protection. As a child, and even as a young man, Clark was not yet mature. I think stories like "It's Superman!" show how a young, naive Clark was ripe for manipulation, and prone to the lures of fame and power. Pa Kent felt like Clark needed to understand his purpose on Earth, as well as develop the experience and maturity necessary to use his abilities for the good of the planet.
As for the death and destruction Superman was involved in, I don't blame him for it. Remember that for his whole life, Superman has been the most powerful being in the world. Just take a look at his face while he is fighting Faora, he is legitimately shocked that ANYONE could dodge him! He wasn't exactly thinking rationally when he first attacks Zod, who was threatening Ma Kent, and didn't expect him to be able to respond, or for Faora and her partner to be the threat they were.
As for his later fight, Zod didn't give him a choice. Zod attacked first, then declared that he'd kill humanity to make him pay, meaning that Superman's only option to save as many lives as he could, was to take down Zod as quickly as he could. Remember, this is his debut as a superhero, and after
Spoiler:I see him going to much greater pains to avoid the death and destruction of all life, especially human.
he kills Zod, who was the last of his race,
