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.
That's why he listens.
The militarily wound
sendasks 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.
What about if the fire spread to surrounding buildings?
It’s a good thing dealerships are usually completely separate from other buildings, and by quite a way!
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.
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.
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.
Definitely a fun fact🙂
Eldritch has joined the rank of "Meme Destroyer"
LOL well not trying to destroy it. It's just one of those things that initially I saw I didn't think about twice. But then I did think about it it just kind of tickled my brain in a funny way to think how anachronistic it all is now. That there are no phone booths anymore. Where does Superman change now? Does he just do it in an alley like a bum?
it's a cosplayer's prop
Well fuck you then, he hopped into a Doctor-Who-themed strip-club before changing his clothes. Superman likes the strange. Get over it.
I can feel Reddit giving me a warning for upvoting this
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.
Man of fire?
epic drinkin game: take a shot every time you see this image
Oh this would be my first drink then
I'm not American, so I may be out of place here, but you shouldn't celebrate or support arson or terrorism.
We went through a drug war here during the time of our own strongman president that cost the innocents. His justification, wholly adopted by his supporters, was: the ends justify the means.
It was horrible and wrong. This is also horrible and wrong.
No, it's cool to celebrate arson and terrorism when it's against terrorist billionaire oligarchs who are burning your country down.
I don't think this hurt them at all.
Counterpoint: Nah, let 'em burn.
