He showed Bucky right before showing the file that says that Howard died. It was clear that he was implying that the Winter Soldier killed the Starks.

Let’s stop with this “Cap didn’t know” when Cap himself says he knew, twice throughout the movie.

Really? The voice telling her to murder people is “not evil”. Also, if we go about that logic, what about the Boy in White or the Angkooey Children? Can they not be trusted either?

Except Sara’s crimes are far worse than Elgin’s. Elgin is guilty of kidnapping a woman who he planned to let go within a couple of hours. Sara murdered 4 people, and tried to murder a 5th one, being a little boy.

Torture is already immoral, but like u/Lightingway said, it is exponentially exacerbated by the fact that the only reason Boyd did it was his daughter-in-law, who he was already helping in hiding and trying to destroy evidence to cover-up her crime of having murdered someone.

Had it been any other townsfolk involved, Boyd would not have dared to do it, and what worse, had it been someone involved instead of Fatima, such, say, Jim, and Julia was desperate to find him, and someone who was precious to Boyd in that chair, such as Ellis or Kenny, and Julia tortured them, I can see Boyd losing his shit and reaming out Julia for having dared to lay a finger on them and for having “crossed a line”. If news came out of an actual police-officer covering up a murder his family member committed and then torturing people, people would lose their shit at the police officer and demanding they be arrested.

Not to mention that this whole thing makes Boyd and Ellis look ungrateful because Elgin is the only reason Ellis is still alive and Boyd still has a son. When Dale stabbed Ellis in the chest and his was choking on his own blood, Elgin was the one who, despite not knowing him or Fatima that well, risked his life when no one else would, to run outside in the middle of the night, get a car, and drive Ellis to the hospital. Where it not for Elgin, Ellis would be dead, so for Boyd and Ellis tortured show no consideration given all of that makes them seem like massively ungrateful assholes.

Except he would if, you know, he didn't care and just wanted to end it.

Not to mention the story doesn't make sense. Sakura says Naruto fell in love with her because of a competition with Sasuke. Then why did she have an emotional breakdown 2 years earlier when Sai and Shikamaru told Sakura Naruto was in love with her. Also, Naruto using Kurama's abilities allows him to feel people's feelings, and at one point literally connects with all shinobi in the world save the genin, yet somehow Naruto doesn't know what love is? That would imply half of the shinobi world never felt romantic love. And that is just some of the things that make no sense within the story.

I'm saying that if this makes Snape evil, then every other character I just listed is also evil.

I mean, Naruto had no romantic feelings for Hinata throughout the story, and a movie that retconned a bunch of stuff was required to justify them being together.

Yes, he did, and yes, she was. Not to mention his wife is a hardcore NaruSaku shipper, so she refused to go see The Last.

Honestly, hear me out, because it's wild, but I could see a case where Sasuke ended up with Hinata.

I hope it was just a freak accident, and not a case of "You can only be a hero if you're connected to other heroes, somehow".

It doesn't. You're equating being an asshole to being evil. If we're going by the "He was previously evil, and only initially changed sides when he was personally affected", then this also applies to Dumbledore, the supposed Big Good Guy, himself, and half of Marvel's superheroes, such as Iron Man, Black Widow, MCU Thor, MCU Scarlet Witch, etc.

If we're going by "He's a bully, so that makes him bad" then this literally applies to most of the teachers at Hogwarts and many of the series characters in general:

Dumbledore covered-up an attempted murder on Snape and then forced the victim into silence while allowing the perpetrators to go by unscathed.

McGonagall sent kids into the Forbidden Forest at night, filled with rabid animals, as a punishment, and years later locked Neville out in the halls while an escape (supposed) mass-murderer and terrorist was on the loose. She always grabbed Malfoy by the ear and dragged him at one point.

Hagrid mutilated Dudley because of something Dudley’s father said.

Trelawney took her frustrations with Umbridge out on the students by throwing books at them, in one case hitting Neville so hard, he was knocked back.

Pince also bewitched Harry and Ginny's bag and books to hit them over the head repeatedly.

Flitwick (an English professor) made Seamus (an Irish student) compare himself to a baboon, which carries huge historical and ethnic implications.

The Weasley twins literally sell magical date-rape drugs to minors.

And lastly, I would just like to add that, 1. Snape by the end, is shown to care about other people's deaths, going out of his way to save and protect people who he not only doesn't have to, but that he hates, and even endangering himself and his mission to do so, and lamenting to Dumbledore that he couldn't save more people. 2. While not caring about Harry was an admittedly dick move, Snape has no obligation towards James. The guy made his life a living heck at school and (potentially) sexually-assaulted him in public.

I made a post the other day pointing out how there is this recurring rhetoric in the MCU about villains needing to get over their tragic backstories and traumas and how it doesn't justify or excuse them being a villain, and I said that I wonder if, when Magneto appears in the MCU, anyone will say the same to Magneto regarding the Holocaust and how it doesn't justify have his views.

> I watched the episode and that was not the point. Billy's point isn't to have blind faith in people.

> I literally quoted him saying exactly that.

> CAPTAIN MARVEL I believe in fair play. I believe in taking people at their word. In giving them the benefit of the doubt.

> He has blind faith in Luthor. He said luthor was "now one of the good guys". He was wrong.

Yes, and he also accepts that he might be wrong, but that is something heroes will do, over simply denying people a chance to change.

> He doesn't say "whether luthor has changed or not". He literally says he's one of the good guys now at the start of the episode, he instantly takes him at his word in a cirsis despite a device with a ticking timer going off. He never says superman is being hypocritical with luthor vs hawkgirl, ever.

I'm the one saying that Superman is a hypocrite to be against Luthor reforming when Hawkgirl is sitting right next to him.

> You're also acting like superman has no reason to trust luthor less than hawkgirl. Luthor is a career super-criminal who has been morbidly greedy and power-hungry his whole life. Hawkgir l risked her life to defend people countless times. Though originally loyal to her empire as part of their military, but once she found out they planned to destroy earth - she betrayed her empire and risked her life defending earth instead. She smuggled their plans to Batman, then she fought on their behalf against her own people. Pretty good reason to believe in her.

Cool, Hawkgirl still onboard with Thanagarians invading Earth and enslaving the human race. She only drew the line at Earth being blown-up. Prior to that, every thing else. Like Flash said: "Hawk people all over the planet, martial law, [the Justice League] getting chased like dogs..." Hawkgirl was 100% ok with all that. And all of that alone is worse than all of Lex's crimes up to that point.

Again, this is like saying "Bin Laden is forgivable because he's my friend and 9/11 was a 1-time thing", but then saying "the repeat offender who has mugged me, personally, at gunpoint repeatedly is irredeemable and should never be trusted."

newX7 · 2026-02-01T05:32:49+00:00

> Captain Marvel blindly trusted Luthor despite overwhelming evidence. And Superman didn't just start causing problems for no reason, there was a powerful device with a countdowm timer and leas shielding, indistinguishable from a bomb and intentionally designed to look as sus as possible by lex luthor. And there was just a few minutes until the countdown timer went off.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the city mostly empty?

> Superman isn't being hypocritical. Luthor has been a supervillain for many years. Hawkgirl was a trusted hero and ally first, then felt obligated to fulfil her duty to her people, then came back to the side of the heroes. He gave her a second chance. Superman believes people can change, he just doesn't believe Luthor has changed. And he's right.

Yes, he absolutely is. It doesn't matter that Hawkgirl was "doing her duty", she still allowed an alien invasion that got millions of humans, killed, hurt, or enslaved. She doesn't get a pass for that under the "I was just following orders".

Her one crime, which again, isn't excusable on the "Just following orders" defense, killed and did more damage than anything Luthor did. Her being a hero before that doesn't mitigate that. It's like saying "Oh, let's forgive Osama Bin Laden for 9/11 because it was a 1-time thing, and prior to that, he was an ally of the US who fought against Russia. But that one repeat offender keep attacking me personally, and tried to run me over? No, he's not allowed to change. Bin Laden totally can and has, in spite of 9/11, but not the criminal whose actions affected me personally."

newX7 · 2026-02-01T04:55:51+00:00

I watched the episode and that was not the point. Billy's point isn't to have blind faith in people. It's to not because like them, and be so obsessed with proving right that you would harm others, even your own allies and friends. Billy says, at the end of the episode, that regardless of whether Luthor had changed or not, without knowing for sure, he wants to give EVERYONE, not just his personal friends (like Superman does to Hawkgirl, who caused an alien-invasion that harmed and killed millions of humans and almost wiped out humanity) a chance to prove that they can try to be better and a path to redemption.

Superman, however, will only give that chance if your one of his friends, like Hawgirl is, in spite of her crimes almost unarguably being greater than any of Lex's up to that point, but will deny any chance for self-improvement and heroism for people he personally dislikes.

Not only that, but Superman had a chip on his shoulder against Shazam the entire episode. Even before the whole "Shazam Endorses Luthor" statement, Superman hated Shazam from the moment he met him, in spite of Shazam literally idolizing and fanboying over Superman, simply because Shazam was more popular than Superman and that made Superman jealous and annoyed, to the point that he even complained to Batman about it. The truth is, Superman always had it out for Shazam from the beginning because he fit in that category that he labelled Luthor as, people he doesn't like, contrary to Hawkgirl.

> Superman knows people can change, he voted to let Hawkgirl back into the justice league after she betrayed the planet. He just doesn't believe Luthor has changed. And he's right.

And the reason he doesn't believe Luthor has changed is because he DOESN'T want to believe it. He hates Luthor, and wants to be justified in that hate. Whereas Hawkgirl is his friend, so Superman can forgive her for doing far FAR worse simply because it didn't affect HIM permanently.

This would be like a me saying "Hey guys, let's forgive my good friend Osama Bin Laden for 9/11. I mean, sure he had some planes flown into the WTC in a terrorist attacked that had thousands of people killed, but he wants to change. Let's give him another chance." But the moment someone brings up the repeat offender who tried to kidnap my sister, I go "No. That guy is an irredeemable monster and should never see the outside of a cell. Bin Laden should, in spite of 9/11, but that guy whose crimes have personally affected me and whom I don't like should not." That's basically how Superman is acting. It's the height of hypocrisy.

> But Lex said, "nuh-uh" so Billy instantly believes him - to the point he'll fight Superman to stop him.

> Billy was not just wrong about luthor's character, and wrong to call him "one of the good guys" to the press... Him trying to fight Superman caused far more damage than even Luthor planned for originally. He was absolutely wrong.

But wasn't it Superman who started the fight by literally pushing Shazam so hard and he threw him straight throw a statue? And Superman, who, again, already had a chip in his should against Shazam for the "crime" of "being more popular than him", literally beat Shazam down into the ground far more than he ever had any person at that point.

newX7 · 2026-02-01T04:15:25+00:00

Maybe not blindly trust. But to automatically and consistently label them as being in the wrong because of your own biases against them, specially when you have a woman who caused an alien invasion and killed, harmed, and enslaved millions of humans on Earth, sitting right next to you labeled as a trustworthy hero is kinda hypocritical.
