Super-Lucy

A lot of folks directed some ire towards the film Lucy because the basic premise--"humans use only 10% of their brain capacity"--is a "myth."

Well, I've got someone who disagrees:

Dudes, if Kal-El says it's true, it's gotta be true, right?

Of course, I'm always amazed by the selective outrage over scientific inaccuracy.Week 1: "OMG, Lucy promotes scientific innaccuracies!" Week 2: "OMG! Talking raccoons! Wonderful!" I guess suspension of disbelief can be discarded when someone wants to flaunt their "superior" knowledge...

No, the real reason to direct ire at Lucy is that it is a terrible, poorly made movie, with every "cool" scene already revealed in the teaser. Did I mention how terrible it was?

Panel from Superman #413 (1985)
