At first I thought it was an artifact of these population totals being released in golden/silver age, but nope. Even in 1940 New York had 7+ million people, Superman is just sandbagging.

Yeah I don't know where they get those numbers from, but I don't think any superhero city is ever willing to define itself as small.

That also isn't the only way those cities' locations have been defined, there's this 1978 map. But more recent maps of Gotham show it on three islands like the other nap. These things are in flux anyways.



Other fun fact about Delaware: Joe Biden lives just north of Steven Universe's Beach City (or where it would be if it existed. It's basically around where Long Neck is).

Biden lives in Wilmington which is on the other side of the state from long neck

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

We discussed this ages ago, and the thing is laced with clash of civ alt righty stank.
This thing would have you believe Greeks have more in common with Norwegians than Turks.

This is that grade school brain racist poo poo where you have loading zones between continents and no cultural gray areas and transitions.

theres a town in denmark thats renowned for its painted houses, which was apparently because a local merchant was delivered the wrong shipment*, so he sold it all at a rebate & since then they just all kept refreshing the paint. its a bit on the nose, so it might be a legend

* im actually a bit surprised by the coloring on the map there, but i guess when i think house, i think brick walls which arent painted unless theyre just chalked white. swedish yellow rings true, though. my parents' house is a swedish yellow, naturally with red window frames

Yeah but Elon Musk could have rented the entirety of Greenland for the next 15 years for the price he pretended to pay for Twitter so it’s not like it’s a huge shift in absolute terms. Would have been a much better buy for his supervillain persona instead of Twitter for his idiot persona.

The scary part is that Communist China has a lot more influence from trade than the USA, if that isn't obvious.

The actual scary part is that it's not Communist, but competently run capitalist.
