Prompt (original, unmodified)
0:00-0:03 SCENE: Mid-air, Metropolis skyline. A high-tech mercenary fires a shoulder-mounted laser cannon. ACTION: Superman flies directly into the beam. The red energy dissipates against his chest. He doesn’t even blink. SFX: High-energy HISS followed by a heavy metallic THUD. 0:03-0:07 ACTION: Superman hits a burst of speed, leaving a vapor cone behind him. He reaches the mercenary in a blur, grabs the cannon barrel, and effortlessly peels the metal back like a banana peel. SFX: Sharp SONIC BOOM followed by the SCREECH of tearing steel. 0:07-0:12 ACTION: Superman delivers a controlled, single-inch punch to the mercenary’s armor. The force sends the villain flying backward, crashing through a massive "LexCorp" holographic billboard. SFX: Deep, bass-boosted CRUNCH and the ZAP of short-circuiting electronics. 0:12-0:15 ACTION: Superman hovers perfectly still. He floats through the dissipating smoke, adjusts his cape, and gives a sharp, heroic nod toward the ground. SFX: The wind whistles softly; a heroic brass fanfare swells and cuts to black.
