As for MoS, it's not okay for him to be the cause of Metropolis' destruction, but the Avengers can do whatever the hell they want to NY.

Not to mention a raccoon causing a ship to crash into a giant building.

I may be wrong, but I think it kinda boils down to this. Superman was the first superhero, historically the most popular (with major dips), and the most recognizable. He has always stood for the closest to pure good in several medias. So for MoS to set him up as flawed rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Think about it. First it was "Superman never kills!" Then once that was explained it became,"Superman destroyed a city". It even got down to people complaining that he destroyed an IHOP!
Alot of folks have very high expectations and set ways for the character. When these are not met, then people get pissed.

And then there are those that will simply Nate anything with the letters D and C attached to it.
