Chapter Text
When Mr. Bean's actor, Rowan Atkinson, was asked if he would ever make a movie titled "Superman Vs. Mr. Bean", he said no.
When asked to elaborate on his answer, Atkinson famously responded:
"Superman could kill Mr. Bean very easily."
Now, other than the fact that this was a fake post I found on Instagram and Atkinson never actually said this, it did get me thinking...
Superman is pretty much invincible: he can fly, he's got laser vision, he can rebuild the Great Wall of China just by looking at it. He's basically a GOD compared to Mr. Bean, this weird little old man who is so lazy he'd rather shoot his own lightbulb than get out of bed to turn it off.
The reason Mr. Bean works so well is that the comedy is very physical; there's barely any language involved, so everyone from around the world can come together and laugh at him. Look at this incompetent, dim-witted character who gets scared of heights, is very socially awkward, and hunts children for sport! He's a silly little guy! Or, at least, that's what he is on the surface.
After extensive analysis of Mr. Bean's behaviour, I've uncovered a dark secret hiding in plain sight. Mr. Bean is not the timid, old fool we all know and love, but instead a being of godlike power and intelligence. By presenting my findings, I will be able to scientifically prove that Mr. Bean could, in fact, kill Superman, even if you gave Superman every power under the Sun: shape-shifting, time travel, infinite Walls of Chinas!
It still would not be enough to even lay a finger on Mr. Bean.
