> [@Atamasama](#): > > I like the idea of him being a tall, physically attractive guy, because he’s a paragon that people admire and look up to. But he doesn’t need to look like a physical freak. To be fair, Byrne made everyone look like freaks. In context, he was just a normal guy. > [@Just\_Asking\_Questions](#): > > Unfortunately that describes the resolution of the problem in every MCU movie. At least two of them (Dr. Strange and Thor: Ragnarok) involved the heroes resolving the problem by losing a big violent fight. And in Guardians of the Galaxy, they literally won through the Power of Friendship, and that after the attempt at winning through a dance-off didn’t work. And Black Panther has a big fight at the climax, but it’s not what resolves the problem: That comes when T’Challa realizes that the bad guy has a point, and implements (a sane version of) his agenda. And speaking of Black Panther, he’s also the one who made peace between the factions at the end of Captain America: Civil War, where the big punch-up was the problem that needed to be resolved. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/superman-2025/1011886)._
