Love this scene

It’s good, but upon re-watching it now from when I first watched it, and thinking a little differently about it - Superman talks about needing to be careful to not hurt people and cause deaths. Then he proceeds to put Darkseid through several buildings that obviously weren’t evacuated, followed by punching him so hard he goes through a couple layers of earth and totally destroys a bunch of infrastructure. He essentially shows his power and ignores everything he just said.

I still love seeing Superman let loose and fuck Darkseid’s shit up though. 😂

I hadn't seen it before so my first thought was "uhhh... Superman?"

I mean were those buildings even evacuated? He probably killed a fair few innocent bystanders there 😂

Superman knows where there's people and where there isn't. Authors can argue there wasn't anyone there.

I wonder what insurance would look like for those people, tho. Like if you live in a city where this sort of thing happens even once every few years, nobody is going to insure the area. Maybe they have some sort of government program like FEMA, but like.. even that would probably be very limited.

So he may not be killing people outright, but he is very likely still absolutely destroying their lives at roughly the scale of a tornado.

Theres definitely a TikTok sketch in the idea "superhero insurance"

Like one of those greensceeen one actor things. "Moving to Gotham City" or something

Edit just want to point out I don't use tiktok but I see skits on YT

Just because he knows he shouldn't lose control, that doesn't mean that it won't happen now and again.

I know a bunch of things that I should do and still fuck up on a regular basis.

Sure, but he literally just gave a speech about it and then proceeds to ignore in roughly less than 30 seconds. 😂

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

😂 ok, that is pretty funny then. I never saw it, I didn't understand the timing of it all.
