Well, not completely. You see in the new 52 comics, Dr. Elias creates a treadmill for the Flash, which generates electricity for the gem cities, and after running for just a couple of seconds, he creates enough electricity to power the cities for the next 100 years. (Grodd (the big talking ape) does steal all of that electricity to power himself, but still),(reply>), +SarSaraneth gladly so,(reply>), @Casper Hanas<br>Comic books are a very poor example of writing, and there's really no defence for that: They could be much, much better, but the industry doesn't hold the writers to a high standard because they know they'll sell regardless.<br><br>You are part of the reason for that.,(reply>), +SarSaraneth once again, I don't quite see what your point is. I understand what suspension of disbelief is, it's just that I dint quite think that you understand comics. I understand that they're not realistic, and that some would not enjoy them for it but the sole point of comics is to be fiction to the extreme. I would never believe that a spiderman could exist even if some very good explanation would be made, but I would still read it just because it's fun. Also, the reason why I posted the initial comment is because in the video, he says that superheroes should save people not just by fighting, so I wanted to point out that in some cases it does happen, not that comics are hyper realistic and are extremely well written,(reply>), @Casper Hanas<br>Suspension of disbelief is a precious resource for writers. Every impossible thing they add to a story is something that could break it.<br><br>It's much easier to make a reader/viewer accept something if that's the only divergence from reality. The more real the impossible thing's interactions, the more real it feels.<br><br>Comic books have very low writing standards, however.<br><br>Perhaps an example might work better. I can't recall the name, but a writer by the name of Jim Butcher wrote a Spiderman novel. Read it, and you may see what I mean about keeping everything that doesn't <i>need</i> to change realistic.,(reply>), @SarSaraneth Sorry for the insult, but i don't see the point you're trying to make
