Super hero movies should have more scenes of them accidentally maiming people just because of the sheer amount of power they weild. - eviltoast

    Bro, the show opens with A-Train running through Huey’s girlfriend and turning her into flesh casserole. It’s the exposition to the main plot of the movie. They talk about how it happens all the time and they have a whole procedure for damage control. They introduce a support group for people hurt by supes, including a guy whose girlfriend accidentally froze his dick off during sex.

    I suppose there’s an argument that supes aren’t really “good guys”, but that traditional good vs. bad dichotomy isn’t really the point of the show.

      The “good” Supes also occasionally have to deal with collateral damage they cause

      Like Starlight accidentally blinding a bystander when stopping a robbery, which then comes back to haunt her

        That was such a bullshit copout. Like, yeah she blinded someone, which is horrible in its own right, but in the story if Starlight hadn’t acted then the woman would have been dead instead of blind. I’d take that trade any day.
