I'm watching Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and every time S.H.I.E.L.D. gets attacked and equipment gets destroyed, I can't help but think "what a waste of taxpayer dollars."

I get a similar reaction from car chases in action movies, especially when the director goes for spectacle and wants a lot of collateral damage. All those bystanders whose cars the hero trashed are now on the hook for the repairs, and for some that's not a cost they can absorb. How many Russians had to raid their savings after Jason Bourne tore through Moscow, and couldn't afford to <go to college>/<visit their sick parents>/<get vet treatment for their dogs> as a result?
I'm entirely serious - these sequences really impact my view of the protagonist.
