Batman beats up cops too.
Peacemaker kills cops.
beating up cops has always been the exclusive purview of cops. they get really pissy when someone else does it.
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 imagining superman stands there and leaves a superman shaped hole in the train, obliterating the driver and anyone else near the front, as the rest of the train sheers free and sends shrapnel at full speed to shred the kid to pieces.
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.
There was but the truth is it looks cool. He's stronger than a train.
Top left is the engineer and he's mostly worried about his hat.
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.
Unless you're Gwen Stacy, the only time physics worked as they should.
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...
What about the acceleration of the passengers in the train?
I addressed that by making them all Nazis
Right? What's wrong with a little bit of life-threatening whiplash?
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 no 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.
Wasn’t there like a Superman-is-a-dick meme trope going for a while?
The villainous behavior of Superman has been well documented
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!
Ah, I got mixed up, it's been a while. He was specifically looking for Peter, but didn't know Peter was Spidey. You're right, inexcusably dumb move, there's no way it would have worked.
