If you wonder why I'm so fucking tired of capeshit movies, in particular reboots, one of the earliest modern capeshit movies was the Spider-Man one that had a trailer where a bad guy helicopter was caught in a web between the WTC towers. It had to be edited out as soon as P A T R I O T D A Y happened.
That is how old and tiresome capeshit is to me.
lmao I remember that. Spider Man 2 kind of went out of its way to overcompensate, with the shot of Spidey running with a big American flag behind him.
Culture at that time was just so strange. they put out a comic where Dr Doom was at the wreckage of the towers crying over it, as if he hadn't literally done a hundred worse things in those comics.
Can one die of corniness?
Doctor Doom would surely never kill innocents. Admittedly I'm not exactly a big superhero guy, but that sounds like something a comic book dictator would do.
What was the bonus called?
Deus Ex didn't have the Twin Towers in New York due to something about processing power or graphics demand. Remains funny to this day.
:SusDenton:
On the other hand we have Two Crude, an arcade game from 1990, which has the Twin Towers in an apocalyptic New York in 2010...
I hate how they added lyrics to the stat trek enterprise intro to make Americans feel better
They did?
Tell me more, please.
I can't find the article but I remember reading about it a while ago.
