so according to comics and movies, Superman's father, Jor-El, knew that the planet Krypton was going to blow up, and then nobody could live there.
i suppose this would be good information to know...and share.
so he tells the other council members and they call him all kinds of crazy and forbid him to leave the planet.
he abides. he does not leave the planet. he secretly sends his son away in a rocket to earth...and stays on Krypton to face a fiery and painful death.
this i don't get.
he was told he would be arrested if he was to leave the planet.
the planet that was inevitably going to blow up.
now...if a cop, a supreme court judge and my mom told me i was going to be in a whole lot of trouble if i left this mudball that was about to be snuffed out of existence, i would be warming up the engines and waving goodbye. i might even take a few people i didn't mind being around with me too.
sure, i'd be sad if the earth blew up. it's where i keep all my stuff. but if the everything starts to melt and there's a spaceship ready (krypton was certainly capable of space travel, maybe their rockets were only made in baby size) better believe me, i'm flying this baby to the moon!!!
or at least some other planet that has oxygen in their atmosphere, food, water to drink and the internet.
anyway, i guess the point is:
don't let the man bring you down.
