Who cares

Something something tactile telekinesis

People in comic universes are built tough enough to reliably survive getting cracked upside the head by anyone who wants to knock them out. This is fine.

People are gonna bring up Byrne’s run but Byrne never said Superman has tactile telekinesis. He just said Superman doesn’t feel weight anymore once he starts flying with something he lifts.

The answer is it’s fiction.

Wow, the type of point that has been made so many times that even the most generic nerd shit like Big Bang Theory talked about.

Whining about unrealistic superhero physics is possibly the most virgin shit you can do. Why are nerds like this?

And when Superman catches Lois Lane in the original Superman films, she should have been sliced in half. You're already suspending your disbelief but this is the fucking line?

Supes has some sort of bullshit ability to soften the part of his body that catches the woman and using his lasers in his eyes he is able to convert the kinetic energy into flying power. God normies don't know shit.

no

WTF why is a superhero movie cartoonish?

"People" like this need to be thrown in front of trains

that deformed midget Batman keeps locked in his basement for slave labor?

I don’t even like super hero shit but you have to be an absolute midwit redditor to complain about this genre conceit.

Um, Ackshually-

Shut the fuck up and get in the locker. NOW.

Why are nerds like this?

These aren't nerds, these are all specifically normalfags brought in by "mature" comic book stuff like the boys.

"If it wasent a movie"

it's a movie

checkmate

The answer is it’s fiction.

So basically there is no answer. It's stupid because it's always been stupid and people suspend their disbelief and just stop thinking about it...why exactly?

Why can't we expect Gunn to just write the character in a way that doesn't raise any unnecessary questions to anyone on the right side of the Bell Curve like Snyder did?

If you think fiction, the pursuit of fantasy through imagination, is stupid, you have no business engaging with it.

superman has some weird shit the does with the field around his body similar to how he flies, i remember reading it in one of his books

like Snyder did?

“Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real... ...Kids understand that real crabs don't sing like the ones in The Little Mermaid. But you give an adult fiction, and the adult starts asking really fucking dumb questions like `how does superman fly? How do those eyebeams work? Who pumps the batmobile's tires?' it's a fucking made-up story, you idiot! Nobody pumps the tires!"

Which one is it?

Finally, someone with the intellect to understand the obvious truth. Superman is nothing more than a ticking time bomb, he’s a weapon of mass destruction. If only everyone saw the world through my lens.

UM ACKTUALLY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR SUPERMAN TO FLY

If you think fiction, the pursuit of fantasy through imagination,

That's the most retarded definition of fiction I've heard.

Fiction has to make sense, there has to be a continuity of actions, cause and effect. Otherwise there'd be no story.

You can EXCUSE Superman ramming into civilians at supersonic speeds without consequences, but an excuse is not a good defense.

This is incompetence on Gunn's part.

Superman has tactile telekinesis but he doesn't have fine control over like Superboy does. With Superman, it just automatically extends a protective field over whatever he's holding. Superboy can manually control it to manipulate things that's he touching.

Superman's powers extend his near invincibility to almost everything he touches. This is why his cape can stop bullets and fire and how he can lift a plane without scratching the paint. He could have come flying down from obit near the speed of light and it would not have mussed her hair. Learn to Superman.

it's a fucking made-up story, you idiot! Nobody pumps the tires!"

Stories have to make sense. If something is off, or doesn't add up then that's a defect in the story.

If a story is not able to uphold the suspension of disbelief then that's a failure of the story-teller.

Wonder how this guy felt about the quicksilver scenes, since he would have realistically liquified half the people he touched at the speed he was going.

See

Superman has tactile telekinesis

He doesn't. Read the scan. Tactile Telekinesis is Superboy's power, and Supergirl has some lessened version of it.

How come Snyder didn't explain why a different color sun gives Superman the powers to fly, have godly strength, shoot lasers from his eyes, and be basically invulnerable to normal means of damage.
I cant believe he didnt have an in depth scientific lecture on the specific differences in his biology compared to himans. Jus lazy incompetent film making in my opinion.

I'm mad

superman has an affect on whatever he touches, it goes back to byrne era

I blame The Boys

The Boys is better written than DC.

you're just trolling, i guarantee it's in the man of steel run, i just haven't read supes in years

found the Boysfag

It's true though, isn't it? There's a reason it stood head and shoulders above Superman & Lois.

Stories have to make sense.

A scientific explanation behind every detail of a superhero's powers isn't "story", it's pedantic shit that usually doesn't matter. There's a reason most sci-fi movies don't stop to elaborate on how exactly a spaceship can fly, unless it's relevant to the plot.

Doom Patrol is a far better show than The Boys

"IT'S FICTION STUPID!!!"

From the bald faggot that made fucking walls of text about muh hypercrisis, muh khaos magik ("with k to distinguish the real magik from the stage magician type") muh 52

Is like Chris-chan suddenly going "it's all made-up, autist!" after decades of living on Roger Rabbit/Imaginationland logic

literally "Boy, I sure hope somebody got fired for that blunder."

Yeah, this has always been why he can lift airplanes and shit without his hands penetrating the surface area like a knife through a watermelon

Chris-Chan suddenly getting his life together and getting a job and a family would be the biggest plot twist on the planet.

I haven't even heard of DP.

and a family

He was dangerously close last year

movies aren't always realistic

Wow! Somebody alert Perry White! Get Lois Lane out in the field! This changes everything!

Chris-Chan suddenly getting his life together and getting a job and a family would be the biggest plot twist on the planet.

Harold?

How does Superman fly? How does he shoot heat rays out of his eyeballs? How does his breath freeze things? How can he exert so much strength? Why does one particular form of radiation weaken him while other forms of radiation strengthen him?

Invincible and The Boys ruined superheroes.

Genuinely kill yourself for this spam.

How does Superman fly? How does he shoot heat rays out of his eyeballs? How does his breath freeze things? How can he exert so much strength? Why does one particular form of radiation weaken him while other forms of radiation strengthen him?

Believe it or not, a writers have tried to answer these questions. In fact, DC published an official science guide hardcover book.

So how could Superman pull a boat without just snapping the chain? That's not how inertia works. Snyder is incompetent.

reading? on Anon Babble?

Invincible is a sci-fi story masquerading as a superhero one, The Boys is just endless selfwank about muh realistic superheroes even with all the Ennis edge toned down

Yeah, because that's why people go to the
movies. To see stuff that follows the laws of physics and reality as we know it. Shame to
these comic-based movies for making fun of us...

a bunch of super losers in their great big mansion wallowing in their own self pity about how hard it is being an outcast of society

At least The Boys made a difference in their world.

Invincible is a sci-fi story masquerading as a superhero one

This is most superhero comics until approximately 1998 with the end of Blue/Red Superman.

I bought an electric tire pump for 20 bucks. Batman certainly just pumps them himself, it takes like 5 minutes.

MCUcks start their new campaign against DC

No, because superman knows how to grab just the right way to spread out the kinetic force and not kill her. It's the same way he meets the speed of a falling person and slows their descent.

I still find the decision in the show to not give The Boys Compound V because it would be "top easy" only end up giving Butchers powes anyway to be stupid

The Boys show is worse than the comic.
The Boys is about the commercialization of superheroes.

I was so persecuted today... you guys. Seriously.

pool.jpg - 2560x1920, 2.05M

No one has mentioned so I might be wrong, but isn't this explained in-universe as an effect of the speed force?

Most cape comics were adventure man stories with varying sci fi and fantasy elements.

That he is able to clean himself up and act less autistic, yet chooses not to, makes him so much worse.

erm bros do u have any idea how many calories he has to burn just to use his powers? he has to be eating an impossible amount of food just to function normally.

also why doesn't batman just use his money to fix gotham?

why doesn't hollywood take my capeshit seriously? we make them billions of dollars a uear and still dont take US nerds seriously

Verisimilitude exists for a reason. Having something be believable is just a part of good writing. Kids don’t think about that shit often because they’re children. They lack the kind of critical thinking skills most adults have. Fuck even saying “it’s magic” would suffice.

Has any Superman movie ever explained this? Why is it suddenly an issue with this one? Also the movies not even out yet. For all we know there could be a line that explains it.
Seems like a fake astroturfed complaint just to shit on the movie for no reason

God this board is full of the biggest fucking crybabies I swear. Here we have Ironheart, which has an abundance of shit worth making fun of, and yet here we are nitpicking the fuck out of Superman

dude I watched the inversible cartoon I am le smart?

Superboy used his xray glasses on supergirl and got them destroyed?

storytime?

Why would it be dangerous for Superman to shit?

Wow, could you imagine that? A cartoon of a movie being non-fictional? That stuff would be crazy, it couldn't happen in real life.
Fuck off, OP. I don't just mean the twat in your image, but for you crossposting this waste of time and wasting my time.

Who pumps the batmobile's tires?' it's a fucking made-up story, you idiot! Nobody pumps the tires!"

Morrison is such a retard, of all the examples he could of picked he picked the dumbest one. There's no reason Batman can't pump his own tires that's what normal people assumed he did.

is that a fucking painting

I've heard he had a limited form of it just to explain saving people at super speed without breaking their body. A similar explanation as Flash having speedforce to do the same thing. But anyway he has it now.

The overwhelming majority were "Weird science" stories using the superheroes as characters in their premises, the last big one was Blue Superman (and subsequently Blue/Red Superman) where they tried to give him one last weird science plot. Doom Patrol, Metal Men, X-Men, and Fantastic Four were both made literally just to contain random weird science scripts that didn't fit anywhere else in DC and Marvel's vaults.

It’s mostly been word of mouth, but never officially a thing. He does that bullshit every comic for 100 years so it’s just reasonable to assume it’s a power of his if he always does it.

I think it originally came from Alan Moore’s Miracleman in the 80s. Moore was trying to explain how a superman-like character in a real world can catch a heavy weight without sinking into the ground he stands on. So he said “this is actually telekinesis, you have a thin telekinetic forcefield around your skin. You’re moving things with your mind but you just think you’re using your hands”. Later writers took inspo from this and gave Superman a “bio-aura” to explain why his clothes don’t get ripped in fights, because he also now had a forcefield around his skin

Is it really that much of a stretch if you already believed a man could fly at mach one?

Yes, but that's the fucking point. This ISN'T real life. It's a movie adapting a comic book. And this isn't a new point. Sheldon, the autistic ovethinker, makes it too and we're supposed to assume he's such a genius for asking it as if we aren't already in suspense of disbelief with people having supowers because the writer makes equally stupid questions.
But if we want to apply some logic, at least X-men DOFP touches the subject when Quicksilver barely touches people while in super speed and acknowledges whiplash when he moves them around.

Why aren't Kara's the exact same as Clark's?

The Boys is about the commercialization of superheroes.

Sad, it wasn't even the first to do that concept

Because it's kind of stupid and unproductive. You're not smart for realizing fiction is fiction. As long as it doesn't contradict itself then I don't see the point in wasting time understanding the fantastical. it's not our world.

As dumb as arguing animals in Zootopia can't talk.

This, but the fact that there was actually a character doing that for a while makes it funnier.

Snyder

right side of the Bell Curve

Good morning, saars

Superboy doesn't even need to touch anything. He can manipulate objects with just his mind.

I loved Miracleman for that. So many autistic explanations just to show how unfun superheroes would be if you tried to make them make sense. But that’s the kind of thing I like

I can transform into a superman when I say Shazam

A nazi scientist kidnapped you as an orphan, used technology from a crashed ufo of alien shapeshifters to clone a superhuman lifeform version of you that shares your thoughts and memories, stored that body in a lower dimension, then put a 4d crystal brain implant in you that activates on a post hypnotic keyword to switch you round

oh…I go on amazing nonsensical adventures

You were put in a trance by the government to program your mind and brainwash you for 8 years, making sure you wouldn’t go berserk and would be pliable. All those colorful happy nonsensical adventures were made up fictions told to give you a false heroic identity.

I have cool superpowers…

All of it is in your mind, based on how you were programmed. You can shift ions, atoms, molecules and brainwaves with a thought, until now you only thought you were superstrong because that’s the lie you lived for 8 years. Your baby though will be born this way and come out superintelligent and inhuman, brainwashing her mother the way a baby human supplies its mother antibodies. It’ll be independent at birth and leave you for space

I have a superfamily…

The government killed your partner to cover up the experiment. Your kid sidekick got away and went mad from the real world. Your super girlfriend was only ever made to be raped irl so she wants nothing to do with the humans. Your rival went crazy from the lie too and committed suicide by cop. Your superdog is a monster made to kill. And your wife leaves you cause supershit puts her in constant fear

Hooray realism

Now excuse me as a write a story that explains all the wacky stuff from 60s Batman comics were crazy drug trips from supervillain gasses and that the Alien Batman with Superpowers is actually Batman's backup schizo personality.

It's even more hilarious when another guy on Twitter replied with Superman doing the same thing in Man of Steel, and the snyderfag responded with something about inertia — as if that would actually matter at that speed kek

These aren't nerds,

Wrong, they aren't "geeks", I saw that twitter thread and it was pedantic CS major types that were involved in it

yeah lol Miracleman was so awesome

Is this one of them 'bot engagement' threads I've heard so much about?

To be fair, this is the kind of shit that verisimilitude doesn't affect. The entire conceit with superpowers is you can't really look at them too closely or they don't work because they are fundamentally fantastic in the origin. You can only go so deep with trying to provide a "realistic" explanation for their operation before the entire house of cards falls apart. This isn't hard speculative scifi, just throw in some technical jargon as explanation and tell people not to think about it too much and everyone but autists should be realistically satisfied but even that's not really necessary at the end of the day.

Team of Superheroes who regularly fend off assassinations, abductions, bombings, enslavement and being chased around by giant purple robots had a pool party this one time

So they're not actually oppressed and its totally okay for me to scream "Muties!" outside my window at random intervals.

The last couple of seasons kinda sucked honestly. Not bringing back Mr. Nobody for the Brotherhood of Dada was a mistake.

Noone appreciates it but superhero fights with tons of horrible unavoidable collateral was pioneered by Miracleman vs Kid Miracleman
That’s basically what Snyder Superman vs Zod was. If it wasn’t directly inspired off it, it’s the result of the trend that created. that superhero fights would logically kill countless innocents.

The Boys show is worse than the comic.

Eh... I'd argue that the show is both better and worse in certain respects. It's definitely a better commentary on coporate nature of capeshit/celebrity than the comic was before they straight up made Homelander Orange Man in the later seasons.

You pseud fagdditors already prevented any future Batman movies from doing cool shots like this by crying "hurr durr Batman would've ripped his arm off in this scene".
What more do you want?

The entire dark knight trilogy spammed the grappling hook.
In Dark Knight he saves Rachel from a 50-storey freefall by just cushioning her impact with his own body, and both of them are uninjured. In Dark Knight Returns he went from permanently disabled to breaking stone and cement with his magic knee brace which got memed to hell
