Certain things work well in comics, but don't in movies.
I don't see how suddenly the whole idea of the world coming together is lost because a space squid is taken out.
If 10 of the worlds cities got Hiroshima'ed, especially in a post 2001 world, your trying to tell me the audience wouldn't get it? Or feel why the would would come together?
