Wasn’t there like a Superman-is-a-dick meme trope going for a while?
superheros are cops. they work to protect capital and the status quo. why would they care if your car gets smashed? ACAB.
This is basically the plot of The Boys, except instead smashing cars they splatter people.
Same goes for this comic image:
Why not pick up the boy, who is not suppose to be on the tracks, instead of destroying a perfectly good train?
Would have accelerated the boy too fast
Seeing how the train engineer is just fine and not flying out of the train, the train didn’t violently decelerate. Meaning that the train stopped over a long distance and thus Superman had enough time to just move the kid next to the rails without high acceleration.
I’m sure the passengers/conductors of the train are perfectly fine with it
I’m sure the deceleration of the people on the train was healthy.
I’m guessing in this particular comic the train was some kind of empty runaway train. Just to avoid raising such concerns. Even then, it seems like there would have been a less destructive way of stopping this thing. Like maybe flying into the train and pulling some kind of brake.
Right? What’s wrong with a little bit of life-threatening whiplash?
What about the acceleration of the passengers in the train?
I addressed that by making them all Nazis
Acceleration doesn’t seem to matter 90% of the time in superhero universes. Also, if there was enough time to slow the train down there was enough time to get the kid off the tracks safely.
You’re probably right so lets fill that train with Nazis and now your writing problem is solved.
Nazis - train theres gotta be a joke in there somewhere
So you’re saying Superman put, or lured, the boy there in the first place, to give him plausible deniability for intentionally make nazi puree? I’m not sure he’d have waited for an excuse…
Yeah, somebody should make a movie about how people would hate someone like this.
And then turn it into a romantic comedy by half of its duration, for not good reason…
This joke was used in Hancock, car instead of boy. But a bunch of people got angry at Hancock for destroying a train rather than lifting the car out of the way.
One of my most hated scenes of any movie is in Spiderman 2 (Tobey Maguire one) where Doc Ock yeets a car at Peter Parker to find out where Spider-Man is.
Had Peter not been spiderman, he would have just been squished and dead and Doc Ock would have felt like quite the fool.
There’s probably like 40 other squished people nearby as he was doing his trial and error that didn’t make it in the film before he got to tobey
I don’t think he was trying to find which one was Spidey, just trying to cause chaos so that Spidey would show up, wherever he is?
No. Harry gave up Peters name to Doc. So he wanted looking for Pete.
Harry yells to doc “Don’t hurt him!!”. Next screen Octy yeets a car at him. 😂
Comments are on my side! Woooo!
“We’re sorry, but acts of otherworldly beings is not covered in your policy…”
The villainous behavior of Superman has been well documented
