At least make sure no non management workers are in trouble. You don't have to put the fires out.

It's Superman. Surely with his x-ray vision he could see that there was no one left.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

That's why he listens.

The militarily would ~~send~~ asks nicely Superman to deal with the "domestic terrorism" that is threatening the 'murikan way of life & save the innocent glorious cars.

Also Sexxy Lexxy would have produced way better cars.

Superman of the comics (from about the mid-80s onward) would tell the military, politely, to go find a location to fornicate with themselves.

Also the animated Superman. He took would tell them to go fuck themselves. Neither one would actually curse.

That being said, both incarnations would put the fire out, if only to prevent environmental damage.

Possibly by dropping a large block of ice on the building.

Superman in the '30s would be lighting the fires.

imo it would be funnier if he started taking pictures (since he's supposed to be a journalist, right?)

That's Jimmy Olsen's whole purpose. Even Clark gets to "not my job" this situation.

In the words of Captain America:

"Let's not get carried away. I've known good vampires. People who never asked for this curse, who don't inflict their pain and hunger on others. But I've never known a good Nazi."

There are lots of good nazis, aka dead nazis.

Good job Superman.

I knew Superman was a domestic terrorist.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I’m not an expert but it might be tricky to argue that an actual bonafide genuine alien could be a domestic terrorist…

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Superman is as American as apples.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

That is a sentence I cannot disagree with.

Only because the path to citizenship for earth humans can be as long as 28 years in the united states. How long do you think it takes for a kryptonian?

I mean, there was that time he tore down the homes of a bunch of low income people.

What about if the fire spread to surrounding buildings?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

It’s a good thing dealerships are usually completely separate from other buildings, and by quite a way!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Well, he is superman, so I'm sure it'll be fine.

"Hey, I saw someone doing something illegal to a capitalist!"

No you fucking didn't.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (5 children)

I got a good chuckle out of it lol. Though there are some incongruencies. Phone booths are an anachronism that really don't exist currently alongside tesla. Especially not the bright red BT phone booths. Those definitely would not be the variety seen in Metropolis. But those are only small little nitpicks that don't distract from the larger message which I agree with.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Metropolis was at least partially based on Joseph Shuster's home town of Toronto, and there's a bright red BT-style phone booth in Eglinton Square on Victoria Park Ave.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Definitely a fun fact🙂

Superman is a capitalist lap dog lol

V: ... Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots! Well? Cat got your tongue? I thought as much. Very well. So you stand revealed at last, you are no longer my Justice. You are his Justice now, you have bedded another. Well, two can play at that game!

"Madame Justice": Sob! Choke! Wh-Who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a Mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that Justice is meaningless without Freedom. She is honest, she makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So goodbye, dear Lady. I would be saddened by our parting, even now, save that you are no longer the woman that I once loved.

Just like V was changed from an anarchist in the V for Vendetta movie, Superman also had more radical leftist origins.
