[ Once again, Shinn is relieved to live in a world where space whale fossils significantly undermined the influence of religion, because gods seem like dicks.
This guy's speech is also, to Shinn, still just a load of airy condescension. Brasov hadn't presented a choice between taking care of civilians and ensuring the world survived, or even between taking care of civilians and rescuing teammates. A load of superpowered assholes simply hadn't cared enough to bother planning for, much less implementing, basic precautions against disproportionate harm to the population. Most of them hadn't even cared enough to intervene when Kaga slaughtered villagers after they couldn't fight anymore. (And, hell, Shinn had "no you can't kill a load of people to save humanity from itself" beaten into him pretty forcefully; at this point, he'd throw a fit over an actual choice between killing a load of people and ensuring that the world survived.) ]
Like hell. You people didn't make some complicated choice about big goals in Brasov. You just didn't care about collateral damage.
Quit being high-and-mighty and try saving the world from kaiju without destroying it yourself.
[ Short, growling, zero respect. If LILITH keeps this up, they'll save the world from kaiju but have a load of traumatized and pissed-off humans blow each other up immediately afterward. ]
