Why is he staining so hard? He’s freakin’ superman
The idea is he’s straining so hard because he’s trying to use the exact amount of force he needs to stop the train without harming anyone inside. Too much force on the train and everyone in the train gets injured or killed, too little and it doesn’t stop in time to save the kid, and I believe in this one he didn’t have the option of just grabbing the kid because he would have been hurt too badly from the sudden acceleration.
If you’ve ever tried to assemble something where you’ve gotta snap together two pretty fragile pieces it’s a similar idea. You absolutely can generate way more than the force needed to get the job done, the difficulty is in having the pieces survive the attempt.
I can tell you I have experienced it with models and computer components and you’d absolutely think I was arm wrestling a God with how much I was straining trying to push those parts together without breaking them.
Edit: I’m not sure which comic this is actually from but when trying to find what issue this was from I saw people saying something about explosives on the train too? Not sure how accurate that is but the idea goes to support the usual thing with writing Superman that he often doesn’t have an easy resolution to whatever crisis he’s facing.
If the explosives thing is accurate then taking the time to move the kid means the train likely gets closer to more people an explosion would hurt. Would it be enough to matter? Maybe not, but Clark would pretty reasonably believe it would.
Cpt. Obvious here: If he touched the child, a murder of Karens would descend upon him and release a shitstorm as if a black man walked past their dead, green painted front lawn.
Pretty sure it’s a Complaint of Karens. Or do you really associate the Karen with beautiful and intelligent crows?
I understand what you are saying, but I strongly disagree. Karens weaponize their karen-ness sometimes to a lethal degree. So „murder of Karens“ is quite fitting imho. A group of Crows on the other hand should be called something entirely different, that does their beauty and intelligence justice. Something like: A „conference“ or a „council“ of crows.
Then it couuld be an Assault of Karens or a Homicide of Karens.
I personally like “Litigation of Karens” for how often their involvement tends to involve them threatening to sue or press charges on someone.
Oooh, that one is good.
I believe it’s called a HoA
Trains can go a long way with no brakes. It’ll probably hurt lots of people.
Technically what Superman did was correct. Superman COULD scoop the child up and move him out of the way, but that sort of sudden acceleration would be a lot like getting hit by a train.
That goes for the people on the train too though. If he had so little time that he couldn’t move the kid 2 meters without giving him whiplash, then stopping the train in that same amount of time would send everybody on the train flying to the front of their cars at whatever speed the train was going.
This is not like a falling kid problem…
If he had more than 0.5 seconds to move the kid he could have moved him 1.5 meters without severely hurting him. On the other hand, if he had less than 0.5 seconds he’s now killed everyone on the train.
It’s long been a fan Theory that Superman can cover some form of durability to the items he handles, otherwise a lot of the larger items he handles would crumble/collapse under their own weight, or people he carries would be crushed/chopped to chunks.
Didn’t they try to make something like that canon years ago? That Superman has some kind of field he extends to objects he touches that in part dampens some of the physics implications of the movements he’s shown to be able to do carrying objects and people that don’t immediately rip themselves apart from G forces? Or am I misremembering?
I read something about his old outfit suggesting that this was an early outing. Superman hadn’t quite worked out the physics/consequences of using his powers yet.
Also, by the look on the conductor’s face, the train wasn’t moving very fast.
He did it all the time in movies tho.
And the sudden deceleration of that train mean whoever in that train is not gonna have a good time lol
Nice package!
Bro’s got a hog fr
Hancock?
I’m glad I’m not the only one that noticed that.
Weak. You want to stop a train quickly, just suplex it.
Why the hell is bowl cut playing on the train tracks? And who let him get that haircut?
Trolley problem? How about a trolley solution?
Just released, cheap as heck. Played 15 minutes so far and laughed my ass off.
I saw that yesterday. But it had mixed reviews.
Hell yes. I’m playing this tomorrow. Thank you
