Say "Superman and the Brazilian Turtle"

Let's first solve a mentality problem, how to face bad people and bad things?

First of all, firmly believe that we have no shortage of good people. But because there are so many bad people and bad things, human beings yearn for superheroes. In the movie, every day is to cut the evil and eliminate the evil, but why are there still bad people, endless? The bad guy is just an element in the human ecosystem. Perhaps because of the existence of bad guys, the ecosystem is balanced. To put it another way, if there are no bad guys like Lex mixed with humans, there should be no one to fight Superman. It is also possible for Superman to inflate his desire to become a human dictator because of his unparalleled abilities. A drama can turn into a tragedy. In fact, there are many such examples in real life, and the concentration of power naturally makes some officials inflated. This is a Chinese tragedy.
Superman is not a human being, but an alien creature. If human beings really lack a person to compete with Superman, the human ecosystem will also be destroyed. Maybe the director thinks so, let Superman and human coexist harmoniously, have a meeting point with human (the birth of Little Superman), and also pull Superman into this ecosystem. Nature follows the laws of the ecosystem. The director also didn't kill Lex at the end, because he has a meaning in the ecosystem.

So if you face bad people, bad things happen? We face up to the existence of this part, do not fear, do not give in, and fight with this part of the people. This is a balanced human ecosystem. Human civilization should be promoted in this way.


In fact, Brazilian tortoises are as invasive alien species as Superman.
Brazilian tortoises can eat anything, have strong reproductive ability, and have no natural enemies. This powerful ability allows him to unscrupulously plunder the survival resources of the native turtles. Once the balance of the ecosystem is disrupted, the negative consequences are the extinction of native turtles. The difference is that Superman is a super "human", not a super creature.
