[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4739443, member: 54846"] I may know Louise Lane is not real, but if someone dropped a car on her and it just resulted in a concussion, I call shenanigans. The issue of "Superman picking up a building and it being acceptable" also depends on the surrounding acceptable notions. In Golden Age era, that sort of physics just isn't applied. Golden Age, Four Color comics are a different beast. Captain America can just beat a whole army of soldiers with his fist, no matter what they bring against him. Whereas, in current age comics, the Captain has been killed by a sniper on a rooftop. So the issue is internal consistency of the reality. On the other hand, it also depends on if it makes a more interesting cinematic effect/plot point. For instance, if Superman tried to pick up a building, the building was shredded due to him being the only thing it held up... and because of that, someone inside the building falls out, hurts themselves, and Superman feels guilty. Or, he picks up the building and holds it up, so that it falls apart, because he wants to get to something inside the building (kind of like how you would put sand through a sifting box). But, if the building behaves the way above, then the next time he picks up a building, it better react the same way. [/QUOTE]
