A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

It always bugged me how in Man of Steel, Superman has to deal with the moral quandary of breaking the bad guy’s neck at the cost of vaporizing a family.

Like they spent the previous 20 minutes punching each other through buildings. No way that was the first family they killed.

I've missed a lot of DC movies, but wasn't Ben Affleck's Batman inspired to come out of retirement due to this ... Or something like that? I might be completely bungling the details.

Yeah, more or less. Then they stop fighting because both of their moms are named Martha. That movie is one of the worst things ever created.

Terrible movie due to the plot, but it has some really good looking scenes
