The biggest problem with this scene isn't even that Pa Kent dies needlessly (which he does) but that the movie reinforces the very deadly idea that hiding under an overpass during a tornado is safe.

@cinemasins The “Venturi effect” sin is one of my all-time favorites
@cinemasins I contrast this with the father dying at the beginning of Twister: he died making sure the door was secure, so it's not meaningless. @HacktheMovies
@cinemasins I don't think enough people talk about the fact he did this to save the family dog, which respect, but in the very next scene they show the family dog and it's a completely different dog!
@cinemasins Right?! And they're in Kansas! All of them should know not to go under the underpass!
@cinemasins The next movie you should judge is The Blackening
@cinemasins The Twister 2 trailer had that too and I instantly thought of you lol
