but

The evil Creation-scientist has at the same time started the countdown on a device that will crush the great Temple of Evolution, and the roof will fall on all inside! You could save the people in the Musuem, I mean, Temple of Evolution! but if you do, your girlfriend will fall to the ground.

So what will you do . . . if you leap to catch your girlfriend, the roof will fall on the Musuem of Natural Scien . . I mean, Temple of Evolution, but if you go to the Temple of Evolution to stop the device, your girlfriend shall fall.

What will you do?

Answer 1

... Supposing I'm an anti-hero, because actual "heroes" are too camp to even approach...

... I would save my girlfriend.

The people in the museum are just a bunch of human meatbags I don't know and couldn't give a toss less about... irrespective of where they are.

Clearly though, my girlfriend gained that title because I saw something of particular worth in her.... thus she probably has better genes..... and therefore within a few decades I probably could have made up for the population lapse caused by the crushing of the museum by filling it with my own progeny.... holding to my own beliefs and ideals... and thus increase my influence within the world, thereby coming closer to crushing idiotic beliefs into dust (starting with religion, then working my way through more consistant and rational believers until I have eradicated everything ... including myself, eventually).


Okokok... that technically makes me a super-villain by classic standards, but the title of "anti-hero" allows me to do things for the greater good (true) and allows me to win (true).

Answer 2

I'm not sure what this has to do with R&S, but it is a good break from the intense questions, just like the WSIDR's questions.

But here goes....

Since I'm a SUPERHEROINE, I swoop in and save my BOYFRIEND and then crash through a window, setting my boyfriend down with the people in there, look quickly with my x-ray vision and supersonic hearing and find the bomb, I quickly crash through another window and send the bomb into the Atlantic Ocean, and then face the wrath of PETA for destroying the endangered fish in the sea.

I always wanted to be the superheroine, which is why I was a big fan of Batgirl when I was a kid.

Answer 3

Guy was a Green Lantern-

He'd imagine a hand reaching out from his ring to catch his girlfriend, send another beam of power over to make sure the Temple doesn't fall, send ANOTHER beam to make sure the television cameras were watching in full focus, then humiliate and Beat the bad guy down, and turn him over to the piggies...
Then, he'd ditch the girlfriend and go to the nearest boobie bar for some booze.

Answer 5

Now if I were the evil Creationist-scientist I would up the ante further by arranging to have a hit man simultaneously take out Richard Dawkins.

What you gonna do now hero?

(Of course if I were a villain I wouldn't destroy the Natural Science Museum. I love that stuff.)

Answer 6

I don't think I could continue as much of a super hero without my significant other. If it was just a guy I had dated a couple times, I'd go with the "Temple". If it was someone I loved, I would not let them fall.

Answer 7

You did mention people in the Temple. I must be still sleeping.

Wolverine could get another girlfriend. He would save the people in the Temple.

Answer 8

I would confiscate Simon Bar Sinister's freeze ray gun and freeze Sweet Polly... er, I mean the girlfriend, in mid fall, go rescue the people at the Field Museum (oops) and then come back and thaw out the girlfriend.

Answer 9

Save the girl.

Jesus said put God above your mother, father, son and daughter. He didn't say anything about your significant other, whom you are supposed to cling to and be one with and forsake over all others.

Beside, I could always fly in reverse and turn time around and ILM will make it so the roof falls back upwards and everyone is safe.

Answer 10

I would save the temple and then like superman I would spin around the earth to make time go backwards, then save my girlfriend.

I mean what good are superpowers if you can't save everything that needs to be saved like they do in the movies?
