[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago (7 children) Did they really have to have the good guys go Pinochet on the bad guy at the end of the film? Kind of disturbing. permalink fedilink source hideshow 7 child comments replies: [–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago It was a Disney villain death. Nothing more. It was a dark moment, but was there to highlight the difference between the naive Superman and the more cynical Heroes. Superman would have dragged him to the Hague, but does Hawkgirl even know about that? I would like to see something like that going forward in the series, but it makes sense now. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DisneyVillainDeath permalink fedilink source parent [–] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (5 children) Idk what Pinochet is permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago* (4 children) A deranged South American dictator/despot who famously threw his enemies from helicopters to their deaths.
