He is the guardian of mankind. He stopped Zod from killing everyone on Earth. That's the guardian of mankind. This film is an attempt to place a fictional character in a very real setting. People die all the time- even Superman can't save everyone and that's one of his most compelling dilemmas.

why is this so hard for people to understand? Did they miss the badass faora line "for every human you save, we will kill a million more?" I think sacrificing "tons" of citizens to save 7 billion is worth the trade off, which was the point.
