I'm glad to see someone else noticed this. It's like Superman stopping a plummeting airplane in the last few hundred feet before a crash. What do you get? Either a Superman shaped hole through the thin aluminum skin of the plane or the same effect on the plane anytime it stops in about its own length: crushed airframe, dead passengers, ruptured tanks and a fire - i.e. a plane crash.
Yeah, and how about Superman flying? He jumps up, sticks his arms out, and he’s flying? I know the thing about suspending disbelief and “hey man, it’s a comic book figure,” but a lot of things Superman did didn’t make sense. And with his super powers he couldn’t defeat the commies and other evil powers all by himself?
