Add to this that the child is also made entirely of rubber and could easily withstand the train's impact and experience no measurable hardship. However, the impact of Superman halting the train caused wreckage to fly all over the place and damage the surrounding infrastructure.... which in this case is a metaphor for literal fucking infrastructure.
You are a poet.
And killed the driver (who I think is called and engineer but I'm not sure and I'm not going to look it up because I don't feel like but even though it would take me less time to actually check than to write this explanation but to hell with it) who represents the middle class.
Also add that the child is slipping a stack of Benjamins into Supermans trunks.
Not pictured: The carnage inside the train as the masses of regular taxplayers get thrown around in the process of protecting the wealthy.
Nor the small boy giving superman a fat stack of cash
It's not even a fat stack
At this point I think we're more like the railroad ties that Superman is bulldosing through.
Why didn't Superman just grab the child and fly away?
Superman had no idea there was child there, he just wanted to fuck up a train.
It's the trolley problem. Picking up a kid in time to beat a speeding train would just snap his little neck. Stopping a speeding train to save the little boy would most likely kill anyone on board.
This scenario indicates superman would rather kill a train full of people, rather than having witnesses see him sit idle as a child removes himself from the gene pool.
My hypothesis is that this is the child of Lex Luther, or possibly a clone. He's literally playing on train train tracks, baiting super man into a win-less scenario via the trolley problem. It's the perfect scheme to slowly make him question the consequences of all his actions and eventually his entire purpose.
He was feeling a bit Hancock that day.
Where is my Bourbon?
The train was carrying electric sharing kick scooters to be deployed into metropolis and Superman wasn't about to let it happen
Because it's an Amtrak.
Idiots at work. It would be easier to get the kid off the track than to stop an entire train.
Moreover, that conductor is going to die, no question.
Superheroes protecting the status quo. How innovative
You could switch "politicians" for "mouth breathers that make $30k but assume they could be a billionaire any day now if they play their cards right"
To be fair, if you play cards right you can make a lot of money. Poker tounament players do get sponsors.
they are the same people
