I watched star trek growing up, the same way people watched tv back in the day: whenever I found it, without knowing which season or episode it was. She’s binging all of it (and I mean all of it). I’ve been reading stuff up on Memory Alpha regardless of her efforts, especially when something on here piques my curiosity.
She has no idea. Jadzia is her favourite character, and I have to constantly be :X about all of that.
Last night I finally ended up seeing how they justified the jump to the year 3000+ in discovery. “oh, why do you want to watch season 3 and not anything else” , “because SPOILERS”
This cover takes artistic liberties too far into the real of fantasy.
Supes is very fast, he could have saved the kid, and every passenger on the train, by picking up the kid instead of destroying the train. Also, a crashing train will rupture the eardrums of anyone that close to it.
This is probably why I don’t enjoy New Trek, and why I’m not very fun at parties.
Superman is very fast, but slamming his steel-hard arms into the kid at a speed fast enough to beat the locomotive might not be all that different than just letting the train do its thing.
Unless he saw the kid fractions of second before saving him, I think he could get there very fast, stop, and carry him at human speed so he doesn’t get hurt. A couple of seconds is all he would need, the kid just needs to move like a dozen feet at most.
No, silly. He has an inertial damping field around him that essentially transfers his own indestructibility to any object or person he is holding, at will. It’s the same principle that keeps his cape and tights from getting shredded when he walks through explosions or gets shot. The sheer force of impact crumples the very front of the train, but the rest of it will be fine.
In this case, he is just respecting the child’s own personal space and choosing to risk the corporate-owned property of the train rather than potentially upsetting the child.
Byrnian revisionism! This is clearly the golden age version of the character, where all his powers came from Earth’s lower gravity and the writer of the moment’s whims.
At the very least probably some nasty whiplash if the arms don’t just obliterate him
He’s presumably fast enough to stop, pick up the kid at slightly superfast speed, support his neck, and gtfo
