The ending is very problematic. After killing what is likely thousands of people, I didn't understand the qualms over eye lasering a couple of silly earthlings.

I didn’t mind the end as much as many. It was literally his first fight as Superman (or really, ever. Seriously he had obviously never been in an actual fight or he would have been a murderer) with a far superior bred-to-be warrior. It makes sense that he wasn’t all that smart about it.
The quick blow through a building versus having to actually watch people get sliced to bits tracks with just normal human empathy. People die by our hands with every purchase of something from Walmart or Amazon, but that doesn’t mean we can stomach watching someone murdered in front of us. And the MCU is full of those types of moments. The big difference is they gave themselves a chance to address the fallout via things like Civil War and Endgame. BvS started out trying to go this route, the first 1/4 of it being decently engaging, and quickly fell off the rails into wtf is this?
There are big flaws in MoS, but I don’t find it to be a chore to watch. The rest of these movies really are.
