You've never been to Europe, have you?

Yeah, I was gonna say. On my daily commute to work I pass by dozens of buildings that have originally been built in the 19th century and are still in use (with regular renovations, of course), and several that date back to the 17th. A well-made brick building can last a long loving time when it's taken care of.

"A well made brick building [being] taken care of" is not what I would generally call mid 80s apartments in New York.

When I lived in Vermont, my friend lived in a house that had existed since the early 1700s, and that was pretty common. Maybe that's not too common in NYC, but my point is that even in America it wouldn't be unheard of to live in a centuries old building.

It's not that the building is old, it's that it looks like it HASN'T been updated since the late 20th century.

Here's another thing I just noticed about Starship Troopers.

All the main guys are from Buenos Aires, yet at high school they play a future version of American Football, instead of a future version of Soccer.

In no way shape or form, I don't care how fascist and controlling the over-reaching government is, would Argentina give up playing Soccer in favour of Gridiron.

Edit: I am an idiot who momentarily forgot simple Geography. I am worthy of nothing but scorn and ridicule.

Also, immediately after World War 2 a bunch of Nazi's fled to Argentina, which is why Verhoven chose it for Starship Troopers.

Apparently some artist accidentally leaked its gonna be Avengers: End Game, which ties into what Strange says to Stark in infinity war.

And Stark uses the phrase in Age of Ultron

Not really. Buenos Aires getting destroyed by an Arachnid attack is a (minor) plot point from the book. Rico feels a little bad about it, but doesn't care that much since he didn't know any of those people.

Not really, the Heinlein book has a minor plot point about Buenos Aires. The Verhoeven movie has super-aryans hailing from Buenos Aires.

Prevenge already exists, it's about a pregnant woman who is murderously avenging her husband's death, driven by the voice of her unborn child.

It's not so much a subtle movie/moment, more a continuously and aggressively weird one. It owns.

So in Verhoeven's version, Nazi's lost WW2, escaped to South America, and then managed to take over the world.

I want a Verhoeven Starship Trooper's prequel, because that sounds like a story. Maybe Argentina beats England in the Falklands and just rolls over every other country from there.

Nazis could get a Cultural Victory, to use Civ terms. Would probably be sadly easy.
