Something that really bugs me...


At the beginning of the film when the earthquake starts and Sam is with her dad, Sam says "Don't go!" and her dad replies "I'll be right back!" and leaves her on her own. That bit REALLY bugs me. He leaves his own flesh and blood to see to his wife and step-daughters. I mean he could have picked her up and taken her with him, what if she had died on her own? It really annoys me that he did that, the writers kind of ruined the character even though we only saw him for a few minutes.

I suspect he thought he would only be gone for a second, to check if they were okay. Also I don't know what happened in the other room that caused his death, but I think it's an indication that somehow she was safer where she was.


I only do it with superheroes.
