COMIC-BOOK-Y
moment
like, you could totally see that in a goofy comic book. the type of thing a comic book writer thinks is le so epic deep commentary, but is a ridiculous premise when looked at (how do those monkeys eat? if the electric hats are tech, why do you need the monkeys? couldn't the hats do it all at this point?)
it passes by so fast in the movie, it gives you zero time to think about it except to giggle "hey! was that a poke at ME?! hurhurhur I think they just called me a monkey if I go home and bash the movie online! hurhurhur"
the reason it was in the movie was to exposition the unwarranted online hate for Superman and remove that blame from real people
