Headscratchers / Super

• So by the end, are we supposed to side with Frank or condemn him? The film does indeed show that he’s mentally unstable and out of his depth and does some truly horrific things but the tone seems to imply that it was all worth it to save Sarah.
  • Frank is the narrator, so what we're seeing is his conclusions of how things turned out. The audience is just supposed to consider what would likely happen if a guy like Frank one day decided to be a super hero in real life.
• But seriously, how is it possible that no-one ever thinks to write down The Crimson Bolt's registration number?

• The sex scene between Frank and Libby. Frank is clearly deeply disturbed by the whole event, but he never tries to physically stop her. Was he in shock, or are we supposed to believe Ellie actually somehow physically overpowered him?
  • As I recall, Frank is pretty groggy at the moment, so he's not in possession of his full physical and mental faculties. I think it's also implied that he's reluctant to get too rough with Libby, since she's a small-statured girl. The major factor, however, is that Frank is a rather pathetic guy who has gone a long time without romance, so he's conflicted about whether he even wants to reject her advances at all. Morally he knows he should, so he protests weakly, but physically he's horny, so it takes him a while to forcefully commit to rejecting her.
    • I mean he's a gentleman and at least for sure let her finish. It seems like he did too simultaneously but that could be debated. He didn't really physically reject her until she stopped moving and then he tossed her to the floor which may not even really be considered "rejecting" her.
