    It’s kinda goofy that everyone accepts Metropolis is a stand-in for New York City, but the movie can’t posssssssibly be about Israel because “Boravia is fictional”

    This was my pinned tweet for years on Twitter but only on Bluesky am I still getting responses explaining that METROPOLIS is good, actually. (The joke is that the guy assumes a seasoned silent movie fan has never heard of one of the most famous silent movies and needs his help.)

    They called the children's animated film Zootopia Zootropolis in the UK because British people do not understand the concept of a utopia but do understand the 1927 German expressionist silent film, Metropolis, but oddly enough lack an understanding of both Metropolis and Zootropolis' class analysis

    It moved to Kansas post-Crisis, because of SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE. But Earth-One Smallville was a small town far enough away from Metropolis to not be a suburb, but close enough that it was an easy train ride away. My sense of it was: if Metropolis was NYC, then Smallville was in Rockland County...

    In the new Superman movie it seems that Metropolis is in Delaware. This, for me, raises the following questions: Does it replace an existing eastern seaboard city? Which one? There are MLB logos in the movie, does Metropolis have a team? Is there a team in our world that doesn’t exist in this world?
