1. The movie cinematic universe, will obviously not span the length of comics. The Man of Steel movie already went against the norm; usually, Superman first appears by building his name up; often from doing good deeds and it eventually builds up. In Man of Steel, his first experience as Superman trashed Metropolis. The Superman is already broken, because of him innocents died during the battle. The new set pictures of anti-Superman fuel the fire. In the comics it usually takes Superman years to face planetary threats, in the film universe he faced it in his first tenure as Superman. Progressing major parts of his story/mythos in film is nothing new.
2. That's pointless death. It was a bunch of innocent people dying because of Superman's battle. That's fundamentally different to killing characters from the supporting cast.
3. If they will ''build'' this chemistry then it will take a long time. They had multiple scenes together in Man of Steel and nothing was there.
4. Some...of those examples are completely irrelevant, Obama aside, in regards to ''good X-Men movies''; there have been four, the first two X-Men films, First Class and the best, Days of Futures Past; and despite Marvel-D listers making good films, there hasn't been development of a strong female character.
There's a lot of ''could'' but I point to past evidence of the portrayal of Lois Lane; using Man of Steel is relevant because it's evidence, the film swatted her aside and made her a damsel in distress.
