As the factory crumbles, Superman glides down carrying the girl who was trapped in the fire. The people watching take out their hats in reverence. As he kneels before a happy woman to deliver her daughter back, the crowd, many of whom are dressed in Dia de los Muertos skull make-up, extend their hands in adoration.
Gandhi: "We, as a population on this planet, have been looking for a savior. 90% of people believe in a higher power. And every religion believes in some sort messianic figure. And when this savior character actually comes to Earth, we want to make him abide by our rules? We have to understand that this is a paradigm shift. We have to start thinking beyond politics."
A television segment was playing that featured Virkam Gandhi of "In The Moment", which the talk was, "The Superman Question".
It cuts to Superman dragging a stranded boat in the Arctic by its anchor.
An author, Andrew Sullivan is talking to GBS with the caption "Superman's Actions are Political".
Sullivan: "Are there any moral constraints on this person? We have international law.On this Earth, every act is a political act." He said.
On PBS, Charlie Rose is interviewing Senator Finch.
Charlie Rose: "Is it really surprising, that the most powerful man in the world should be a figure of controversy?" He asked the Senator.
Finch: "To have an individual engaging in the state level interventions should give us all pause."
As Superman saves a spaceship after its rocket explodes on liftoff, blogger Glen Woodburn talks to Metropolis News, Channel 8.
Woodburn: "Human beings have a horrible track record of following people with great power, down paths that lead to huge human monstrosities."
Gandhi: "We have always created icons in our own image. What we've done is we project ourselves on to him. The fact is, maybe he's not some sort of devil or Jesus character. Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing."
In the same segment where Vikram Gandhi has spoken, physicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson speaks. In-between, amidst a flood, the people on the ceiling of a house have painted the Superman shield. They look into the sky as Superman floats nearby, showing he has come to their rescue.
Neil Degrasse Tyson: "We're talking about a being whose very existence challenges our own sense of priority in the universe. If you go back to Copernicus, where he restored the sun and the center of the known universe, displacing Earth. And you get to Darwinian evolution and you find out, we're not special on this Earth we're just one among other life forms. And now we learned, that we're not even special in the entire universe because there is Superman. There he is. An alien, among us. We're not alone.
Charlie Rose: "Are you, as a United State Senator, personally comfortable saying to a grieving parent, "Superman could've saved your child, but on principle we did not want him to act"?" He asked.
Finch: "I'm not saying he shouldn't act. I'm saying he shouldn't act unilaterally."
Charlie Rose: "What are we talking about here then? Must there be a Superman?"
