You do make a good point, but then you ruin it with your love for villains.
Heroes certainly do cause a lot of chaos and damage in the fictitious worlds they exist in (a point I feel needs to be made clear in this conversation). That damage is called "collateral damage", not "evil deeds". The superheroes didn't choose the battleground, or the timing for the fight, they showed up to stop the bad guys (Alien invasions, mad scientist's experiments, mutant uprisings, etc.).
Also, there are many examples of stories that do incorporate responsibility and the costs of "collateral damage" and such.
As for your good point, it is true that the people who make these movies for us, do seem to love destruction and flames. I too, find myself bewildered by the damage and broken lives that are treated like nothing more than set decorations.
Superheroes are trying to save the world by any means necessary as many of the characters with authorities in the movie ask them to do.. And they don't really have any other choice, you know?
Since they've already made a name for themselves by that one heroic act, they are expected to do even more and all the more of them in the future, and are literally watched over by those in power to do so.. Right, unless they decide to switch sides, from which there is no coming back as those with power would've portrayed them to the public as traitors and such.
And the moment an ordinary citizens' image shifts.. You can bet, the hero becomes a villain in no time even for the ordinary people.
It could be said that because villains aren't expected to do anything and aren't all that watched for or expected after a while, they do have the freedom heroes lack, and can have all the time in the world to think their actions through and all.
They might not be living a life full of luxury like heroes, but.. What's a luxury good for, if it means no freedom?
Thus, as I always say..
„Heroes don't exist; Only villains do.“
Damned if you damned if you don't
The increasing (need for?) mass destruction and killings is one of the reasons I stopped caring about Marvel/DC movies many years ago.
The superheroes are psychopaths working for the government - like the -ites themselves.
The villains are people who resist the system. Villain means someone who lives in a village/villa. They are from the Ser-vant caste. The commoners.
There are a deep subconscious reason why the best villains are those people can relate to.
On this Earth - will YOU live long enough to become "the villain" yourself?
Blocked for obvious reasons.
That is usually uncommon and exception of the rule in story telling, but some of politicaly obsessed people on the left want for nearly all movies to be like that to virtue signal to the rest.
Yeah well, that's movies.
On TV, the superheroes mostly react to what's thrown at them; they also try to move fights away from people (or people away from fights).
Which is also way more important on TV, because they need their cities for the remaining episodes...
Of course, it doesn't always work out. Like when Team Arrow defused the Rubicon situation and basically directed the worlds nuclear missile stockpile into space... there was one that they couldn't. They redirected it to a less populated target, but...
