for me personally, it (in combination with my other listed complaints along this line) takes away from the gravity of the situation of the city being destroyed.
[slight off-topic rambling rant here]this is a problem in general that I'll FULLY ADMIT I AM OFTEN RESPONSIBLE FOR AS WELL (let me make sure to emphasize that...I often make this "mistake" as well)...people focus in on ONE thing about a person's argument/critiques and say "well, not really...and here's why, on that one point, so your entire argument is invalid". It's like when people complaint about "nuking the fridge" or "man-eating ants" or "aliens"...they may be focusing in on that one thing, but the reality is that the combination of all those things in one 80-minute run lead to the way that person feels.
the combination of the lack of human response to the destruction while it is occuring, the lack of emotion shown afterward, the moving of the setting, the lack of reflection on the lives and property lost...all of it combined makes for the way i feel.
sorry to rant, and i don't mean to pick on you specifically, but i felt this was as good a time as any to bring this "issue" up.
