Doesn't basically every single monster kill MASSIVE ammounts of people and nobody cares about it?

I thought that was one of the big jokes of the show.

"Goku.... i mean Blast only appears when humanity truly needs saving"

So... when exactly is that? It's not when a giant monster destroys a good 10% of a city with a single hand movement. It's not when monsters completely take over a town, it's not when a freaking meteor (which will clearly do more then destroy a town when it hits) approaches the earth, and it's not when a spaceship kills 99,8% of a city in a single second.

The moment where Saitama let the crab guy go and hunt people, but 1 second later he felt bad for some dumb kid, i kinda... understood / assumed that this "overkill of innocent people" was just a big joke. It's completely making fun of this stupid... "It doesn't matter when a million people die, but when we are actually confronted with a single person that is about to die, it's suddenly a tragedy" thing...

Isn't there even a famous quote? "One death is a tragedy, two deaths are a statistic?"... Well... EXACTLY THAT!

Also, think about this. When Saitama smashes the meteor, insane ammounts of people die, while he is having his "yay, i did a good job!" moment. Ofc he saved 10 times as many as died, probably even more, but still, in that scene, again, many many many people are dying, and he acts like it's a happy end.

TL;DR: Every 10 minutes a billion people die on some hero / monster related thing, nobody cares!

Krillin: How did you...

Goku: Dragonballs!?

Krillin: Oh... yea...
