That was one of the biggest tragedies in recorded history. Do you even know what it did to the economy? It was like Black Monday on a 5x multiplier.
The World Trade Center, keyword TRADE. This isn’t pokemon shit, this is real-world stocks and dollars. The portfolios were ruined.
The next time you laugh at that, think about the human beings that had their vacation bonuses decimated that day. Think about how the economic blow made countries like China catch up to us. Just think about that.
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.
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.
Can one die of corniness?
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.
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 remember Red Alert 2 having the box art changed, and patching out the bonus you got for destroying the WTC towers as Soviets.
What was the bonus called?
