Be honest: if you had the power to stop time, your morals would go out the window. - eviltoast

Pretty much the title. I’ve been watching more realistic super hero shows like The Boys and Invincible. The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.

I think it’s easy for us normies to respect other people and their property because there are clear consequences for violating social norms. But what would the average person do if they had super powers?

    That’s the fun thing about morals, everyone is operating with a different set of morals. Often similar, but some are drastically different.

    And sometimes the things that fit within their moral outlines would shock other people

    Some people need the threat of terrible consequences to not do terrible things
