    About the differences between Gotham and Metropolis, one of the in-universe reasons for that is who running things behind the scenes in both cities.
    In Gotham, it's the crime families, like Thorne, Falcone, Marone, etc. They've been around for decades and have attached themselves to Gotham like a tick, constantly draining it of anything that could be used to better the city for themselves and their own enrichment. And anybody who could potentially do something about it, like politicians or heads of corporations, often find themselves in their pocket. It's what makes Wayne Industries such a stand-out.
    Metropolis however has Lex Luthor as the one who is ultimately in charge of everything. Like he said in the first episode, his money helped build it and keeps it running. He's absolutely corrupt but unlike Gotham's crime families, who just use their city to keep themselves fat and happy, Lex essentially views Metropolis as his own personal kingdom. The more advanced and shiny it is the better he looks and feels while sitting atop its throne.

    • @tehdipstick
      @tehdipstick 4 дня назад +21

      Yep, Gotham suffers from cultural and societal stagnation because it's a cesspit of crime and corruption. Meanwhile Metropolis's retro-futuristic aesthetic reflects not only the futuristic thinking of Lex, but the more hopeful nature, brighter outlook of the average Metropolis citizen.

  • @tehdipstick
    @tehdipstick 4 дня назад +21

    A couple of unrelated things to note about this episode:
    I really like how Lana recognizes Clark because she already knows that he has powers. It's not that she somehow can tell there's a distinct physical resemblance between Clark and Superman when everyone else can't, but because she' already listened to him talk about his powers, and seen him use them, back when they were in high school together.
    5:40 Robocop reference?
    Sure, the design of Clark's car is incredibly impractical, but it's peak 50's retro-futuristic design philosophy.
    Mercy's uniform does not have pants, no. Those are definitely leggings/tights. Lex is a leg guy, I guess.

    The way I think of it: Gotham looks like how people in the 90s imagined the 40s; Metropolis looks like how people in the 40s imagined the 90s.
    Flash is the correct answer. If I'm stealing a purse to feed my family, Batman puts me in traction for a month; Superman or Spider-Man catch me without seriously hurting me; Flash gives the purse back to the victim, feeds my family, and gives me the address of the nearest food bank and the number of the city's office of workforce development so I can get help finding a job.

    You gotta consider why the hero leaves a crook hanging. Batman partially does it to instil fear, Batman and Spiderman both partially do it because they are vigilantes who dont fully have the public/police trust and to avoid having to wait around for and interact with the police. Superman usually does it when there is someone else in imminent need of stopping/saving/making safe just to make sure theybcantvrun while hes otherwise occupied. Once he got Lana to safety, he easily could have gone back and gotten the crooks down and handed them over to the police.

    Eric is completely right! (Hence, Calvin and Aaron are totally wrong) An infinite amount of 2's is equivalent to an infinite amount of 1's. It is said that both have the same "Cardinality", which is equal to the lowest level of Infinity "Aleph 0". There are higher levels of course. I think Calvin is referring to "Infinite Sets", in which subsequent terms get smaller and are said to have a quantifiable limit. A sequence of 2's do not get smaller. In short "An Infinite amount of 2's 'equals' An infinite amount of 1's"

      but 3*0.333... = 0.9999...
      thus, 0.999... = 1 _because it doesn't stop_ . If the number of numbers was finite, then they'd be right.

    I'm not a mathematician, but I know some things. Infinity isn't countifiable. No matter how high a number is, it is closer to 0 than infinity. I'm not sure if it's correct, but I think an infinite amount of 1 is equal to an infinite amount of 2 because there is no limit to infinity. If it was a specific number, the 2s would obviously be higher, but since there is no limit, they are both infinite

  • @henrygreen2096
    @henrygreen2096 4 дня назад +1

    So for the infinity discussion, obviously we look as numbers and mass differently so case A (numbers) and case B(mass). And sure some infinities are different, but here's my understanding as a maths student:
    Case A) An infinite sum of ones and an infinite sum of twos are equal infinities. A clever observation is that for every two 1, you can add them together to get 2 and just like you lot said, BOTH sets are infinite so it's not like there are "more 1s than 2s." There is a popular example anyone can research (and the proof is not long at all) that compares the sum of all positive whole numbers vs the sum of all positive even numbers, and the mathematicians concluded those sums are equivalent. I believe Eric is correct there. It goes without saying that the Sum of the sets are equal and the cardinality are equal.
    Case B) For the mass, unlike with the maths above, I am not as confident. I am more of a mathematician than a physicist, but I remember that when someone brought this up in a undergrad physics course, our professor simply said that it depends on what kind of infinity you have. so I ASSUME (which you should never do in stuff like this) If both are the same, then you can look at the ratios and conclude infinite mass of xenon has more mass than helium (or whatever two things you compare), but if the infinities are different, then you cannot make that conclusion. But again I do not know what the conclusion should be for Case B. Infinities are not something we can understand by intuition.
    TLDR: Eric is correct is Case A, Calvin and Aaron are probably correct in Case B, But Eric might also be correct. If I made a mistake someone can correct me, or help out. ❤

    Lana in this episode is very interesting to me. She is just as strong-minded and independent as Lois, has good chemistry with Clark, and yes they draw her oh so well 😎.
    Idk if she pops back up in the series again, but I would have loved to see her have a relationship with Clark going forward and for Clark to really return her romantic feelings.
    Also, I'm not usually one to complain that much about the recent girl boss trend in media today, but I do think that if this episode were made today Lana would be portrayed as some super strong female who doesn't need to be saved or would be putting Superman in his place or something. In addition, they probably wouldn't make her the love interest because it would take away her agency or whatever 😑.
    However, this show already does well subverting the damsel thing with Lois by having her help out Superman from time to time, and they also show that not everyone is cut out for the dangerous superhero life and that's why Lana may be a damsel here, and yet she is still interesting while being that and the love interest 🤔.

    Eric and Calvin are both wrong: there are different sizes of infinity, but all *countable* infinities are the same size. An infinite amount of lead and an infinite amount of feathers both have a countably infinite weight so they weigh the same amount. Adding an infinite number of ones gives you the same result as adding an infinite number of twos--both are countably infinite. Look up Stand-Up Maths video about an infinite stack of 20s vs an infinite stack of 1s for a good explanation. (Just be careful about your reccs after that, there's a whole RUclips rabbithole of conspiracy theory videos about how infinity is fake and all of math from calculus on is a lie by mathematicians, and they're all nonsense.)
