he finds it soothing (apparently)
🎬 So I’m watchin’ this new Superman movie, right? He’s in his giant ❄️ ice palace, robots 🤖 everywhere. Superman’s not the Kansas farm kid anymore — he’s freakin’ royalty 👑. He’s got a staff of robots quietly judging him in his own house.
One of ’em goes — dead serious — “I put your parents’ message on to soothe you.”
Superman’s like, “Thank you.” 😐
Alright, that’s already weird. But then — then! — the robot turns to the other robot and goes: “He finds it soothing.”
👀 That’s not for Superman. That’s an aside! That’s gossip! That’s Downton Abbey! 🫖 Like the servants in the kitchen: “Lady Grantham does enjoy her sherry at four. She finds it soothing.”
Only they’re not whispering in the basement — they’re sayin’ it right in front of him! This is passive-aggressive as hell 😤. If he really finds it soothing, you don’t gotta broadcast it every five minutes. Just hit play ▶️ and shut up. Every time he says it, it’s like he’s nudging me: “Hey, check out your boy, he’s unwinding again.”
Later, Lex Luthor 🧠 breaks into the Fortress, and the robot — thinking it’s Superman — goes: “I preemptively put on the soothing—” Like, Jesus Christ, enough already! 🙄 By the third time I’m like, okay, we get it! He’s homesick 🏠. Stop announcing it like it’s the traffic report 🚗. Take a shot every time he says “soothing,” you’re hammered before the second act 🍸.
And at some point you expect Superman to snap:
“Hey, Four… you okay, buddy? You keep sayin’ soothing like it’s stuck in your hard drive 💾. You got some kinda point you’re trying to make about my video?”
And then the robot tries to play it off:
“I am programmed to provide context.”
Context?! What are you, his Yelp review? “Superman finds it soothing. ★★★★ Would watch again.” 😆
And here’s the thing — at least Batman’s butler Alfred 🦇 has the decency to shut the hell up. You never see him turning to the furniture like: “Oh, Master Wayne does enjoy staring at the pearls — he finds it soothing.” 💎 No! Alfred just pours the drink, walks away 🚶♂️, dignity intact.
Meanwhile, Superman’s got Chatty Cathy in a tin can narrating his emotions like it’s a reality show 📺.
Forget Lex Luthor. Forget Kryptonite ☠️. The real villain here is his own passive-aggressive robot staff, roasting him every time he hits play. 🎥
