The only time Jesus used violence was to kick a rich guy tax collector out of a temple.
- Can you point to a reference? I don't think you are recalling the story correctly.
  They were money changers (currency exchange) and merchants, not a single tax collector.
  Jesus cleansed the temple twice, it wasn't a single event.
  Matthew was a tax collector, one of his key disciples. Jesus was also compassionate towards Zaccheus, who was a wealthy tax collector. Zaccheus was wise enough to repent from his over-taxing of citizens, however.

  I did not realize He did it twice! Did He use a whip both times?
- Depends on the book actually! In the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, Jesus kills a kid for bumping into him and then blinds his parents for being mad. It was considered cannon up till the 4th century.
  IV. 1 After that again he went through the village, and a child ran and dashed against his shoulder. And Jesus was provoked and said unto him: Thou shalt not finish thy course (lit. go all thy way). And immediately he fell down and died. But certain when they saw what was done said: Whence was this young child born, for that every word of his is an accomplished work? And the parents of him that was dead came unto Joseph, and blamed him, saying: Thou that hast such a child canst not dwell with us in the village: or do thou teach him to bless and not to curse: for he slayeth our children.
  V. 1 And Joseph called the young child apart and admonished him, saying: Wherefore doest thou such things, that these suffer and hate us and persecute us? But Jesus said: I know that these thy words are not thine: nevertheless for thy sake I will hold my peace: but they shall bear their punishment. And straightway they that accused him were smitten with blindness.
  
  And the parents of him that was dead came unto Joseph, and blamed him, saying: Thou that hast such a child canst not dwell with us in the village: or do thou teach him to bless and not to curse: for he slayeth our children.
  Damn, the justice system back then was way more forgiving.
  
  Is the "do thou teach him to bless and not to curse" why people do not like swearing (well not sure much about christians but I always got the impression swearing is frowned upon in those communities)

"We're not trying to help people, Bob. We're trying to help our people!"

All heroes hate insurance men.

" He is getting mugged!
-Well, let's hope we don't cover him."

Unless I'm misremembering, the insurance boss was mentioned as being in hospital and then never again so he could have died from his injuries.
- They show him all bandaged and in casts, and then talk about having to pay him off. Yes, he could still have died, but that was not the conclusion they lead you to believe.

Um, but, private industry does everything better than the gubment. Right?
/s

Bob Parr not ‘Paar’. Easily mistaken if you’re from Russia or not from a western country.

Remember it was an ancap movie.

nearly killed is some distance from killed.
if he had killed him the story would have been different, no ?
- If he had killed him it wouldn’t have been a children’s movie, lol
- How funny would it have been if the next scene between Bob and the government agent took place graveside 😂
- Different as in less palatable to children.

And he doesn't.
Major part of his being a hero.
- It's definitely a major part of being a super hero.
- Literally threw him through some walls. Probably couldn't be sure his boss would survive.
- Choking someone is not that far from killing them; the intent is definitely there
