Neil Degrasse Tyson Dissected The OG 'Superman’s' Most Iconic Scene, And We're Kinda Horrified

The "Superman" movies starring Christopher Reeve will always be iconic, and to this day they still hold up. However, Neil deGrasse Tyson has pointed out a scientific fumble in one iconic scene from 1978’s "Superman," and you should prepare to be horrified by it. In the first "Superman" movie's climax scene, The Man of Steel misses a missile that causes a massive earthquake in California and suffocates Lois Lane to death in her car. A distraught "Superman" then decides to fly around Earth to reverse time, and by doing that, he successfully saves Lois.
