I got a good chuckle out of it lol. Though there are some incongruencies. Phone booths are an anachronism that really don’t exist currently alongside tesla. Especially not the bright red BT phone booths. Those definitely would not be the variety seen in Metropolis. But those are only small little nitpicks that don’t distract from the larger message which I agree with.
LOL well not trying to destroy it. It’s just one of those things that initially I saw I didn’t think about twice. But then I did think about it it just kind of tickled my brain in a funny way to think how anachronistic it all is now. That there are no phone booths anymore. Where does Superman change now? Does he just do it in an alley like a bum?
There’s plenty of abandoned malls and former retail shops that now just sit abandoned in the wake of Amazon’s dominance. If you’re going to make everything about realism, I’m sure there’s never a former radioshack or blockbuster, or toys r us nearby.
Metropolis was at least partially based on Joseph Shuster’s home town of Toronto, and there’s a bright red BT-style phone booth in Eglinton Square on Victoria Park Ave.
