Yeah, somebody should make a movie about how people would hate someone like this.
And then turn it into a romantic comedy by half of its duration, for not good reason…
Comment on Superman is a meanie

Same goes for this comic image:
Why not pick up the boy, who is not suppose to be on the tracks, instead of destroying a perfectly good train?

This joke was used in Hancock, car instead of boy. But a bunch of people got angry at Hancock for destroying a train rather than lifting the car out of the way.

Would have accelerated the boy too fast

Acceleration doesn’t seem to matter 90% of the time in superhero universes. Also, if there was enough time to slow the train down there was enough time to get the kid off the tracks safely.

You’re probably right so lets fill that train with Nazis and now your writing problem is solved.

So you’re saying Superman put, or lured, the boy there in the first place, to give him plausible deniability for intentionally make nazi puree? I’m not sure he’d have waited for an excuse…

Unless you’re Gwen Stacy, the only time physics worked as they should.

Seeing how the train engineer is just fine and not flying out of the train, the train didn’t violently decelerate. Meaning that the train stopped over a long distance and thus Superman had enough time to just move the kid next to the rails without high acceleration.

I’m imagining superman stands there and leaves a superman shaped hole in the train, obliterating the driver and anyone else near the front, as the rest of the train sheers free and sends shrapnel at full speed to shred the kid to pieces.

I’m sure the passengers/conductors of the train are perfectly fine with it

I’m sure the deceleration of the people on the train was healthy.
I’m guessing in this particular comic the train was some kind of empty runaway train. Just to avoid raising such concerns. Even then, it seems like there would have been a less destructive way of stopping this thing. Like maybe flying into the train and pulling some kind of brake.

There was but the truth is it looks cool. He’s stronger than a train.

Top left is the engineer and he’s mostly worried about his hat.

What about the acceleration of the passengers in the train?

I addressed that by making them all Nazis

Right? What’s wrong with a little bit of life-threatening whiplash?
