A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Invincible covers this a lot.
It's a major plot point in avengers as well, tbf, and why they spit up.
I loved the first season of invincible. The thought came after watching a gif of captain America splitting a log with he bare hands. Like there should be PPE for just being around a super hero. He split that log with enough force to send a splinter strait through someone skull.
Like deku in my hero flicks air to create a pressure wave that can propel him into the sky. The insane amount of force at play should have more collateral damage.
Him splitting that log with his hands was safer to stand near than someone hitting it with a maul, which is how it’s usually split.
Not if you look at the way he effortlessly tore that thing in two. The thing just came apart and didn't even resist. Now I know that's just how the prop is designed but still. Also, you should wear ppe when hitting it with a maul.
The Avengers story was just annoying. They literally saved the earth from complete enslavement to an alien invasion, and they must be held accountable for the damage they caused while doing that? Come the fuck on! They didn’t cause that damage, the alien invasion did. Tony and Bruce are supposed to be like the smartest people in the entire world, and neither of them could respond with that basic logic? I hate that fucking storyline.
New York is all the Asgardians' fault. If Thor hadn't gotten himself exiled, Loki wouldn't have come to Earth and found the Tesseract, so no invasion.
Sokovia, though, is all Tony's fault. He built and released an unaligned superhuman AI agent. (Don't do that, folks; it predictably breaks the planet.)
That’s true about Sokovia. But blaming Thor for Loki’s actions is wrong.
No one blames New York on the Avengers, or even on Thor. It only gets serious with Sokovia, which is entirely Tony's fault going off the rails in secret. It's also introduced slowly and early, with a woman blaming Tony for her son's death in Avengers I think (before the Iron Man thing), which starts him early on facing his guilt and responsibility, leading to his fuck-up.
