Yes, my perception is that, in general, in American fiction, the way to go is with a violent solution! (Again, that's makes great spectacular movies, don't get me wrong, and it's a general thing compared with movies from elsewhere, not something that happens all the time)
For example, if you want to stop a meteorite hitting Earth, do not use rockets attached to its surface, explode a huge nuclear bomb!
If you have to start the nucleus rotation, do not make any chemical reaction or engineering project, just explode a huge nuclear bomb!
If you are a multibillionaire that wants to solve crime, just personally punch criminals in the face!
And we're talking about fiction, not real life. I'm ok with spectacular, but I can't help noticing it :-P
- zeidrich 13y agoViolence is harming a person or living thing. Blowing inanimate things up is just physics.
- andrewflnr 13y agoEh, true. But on a basic level, with empathy turned down (and it is, after all it's just a show and no one is really getting hurt), it's basically the same thing. "Other people" can just be meat that's in the way.
