Hancock is not Tang Bohu

When Mary was getting a heart pacing from a doctor and Hancock was shot by a criminal who escaped from prison, I thought this film could finally create a new idea for so many Superman movies - Superman will always die, and this world, forever There is no superman.

But I was wrong again.

Hancock became a superman supported by thousands of people. Mary realized that she lived an ordinary and normal life. A perfect ending.

Aside from the plausible hilarious plot and full-blown computer stunts, this is arguably the most logically confusing Superman movie. Full of loopholes.

Doesn't it mean that two superhumans get too close, like yin and yang polarities generally make each other lose their superpowers? How did that super exaggerated fight come to be?

The American police are rubbish. Those idiot criminals said they escaped from prison? Still swaggering to the hospital to seek revenge on Hancock? Michael Scofield is a great example.

Perhaps, for a comedy science fiction entertainment film, there is no need to think and ask too harshly. It's like for Stephen Chow's movies, we only need to remember his classic lines and exaggerated comedy effects. If we really want to pay attention to the plot logic of the movie, it is completely self-abuse.

However, Hancock in "Superman for All" is not the Tang Bohu in "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance".

    Hancock: No man, I'm from Miami.

    Ray Embrey: You didn't come on in, like, a meteor or...

    Hancock: Nope. Woke up at a hospital, first thing I remember.

    Ray Embrey: Government hospital. Yes? Experimenting on you and...

    Hancock: No, Ray. Regular old Miami emergency room.

    Ray Embrey: Come on.

    Hancock: Yeah, uh, my skull was fractured. They told me I tried to, uh, stop a mugging.

    Ray Embrey: Somebody knocked you out.

    Hancock: Guess I was a regular guy before and when I woke up, I was changed. Uh, and the hospital nurse tried to put a needle in my arm and it just broke against my skin. And then my skull healed, in, like in an hour. The doctors were astounded and, uh, they wanted to know my story. Just like you. But, uh, I couldn't tell 'em. I don't know who I am.
