Recap / The Review Team S 1 E 18 Metropolis

Go To

As the season 1 finale, Sir reviews the classic Sci-Fi film.


  • Arc Words: The 'Head and Hands' statement carries on even to the poster.
  • Brick Joke: A joke early on states that Metropolis looks like Edtropolis from Ed, Edd, N Eddy (only realized fully). It even has a clip to acknowledge that. When the Heart machine is destroyed by the workers, there's a clip of Eddy and Edd looking on, frustrated and forlorn.
  • Computer Voice: Sir gives Machine Maria this. It's kind of unsettling.
  • Gory Discretion Shot / Sound-Only Death: Captain Planet's death by missile.
  • The Hero Dies: See the other 'Hero' entry below.
  • Hero Killer: Sir thinks that humanity became this after they finished off Captain Planet.
  • Large Ham: Oh, lordy, did Sir turn Machine Maria into this.
  • The Power of Love: Invoked once again.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: The machine man is given this on the poster. Namely, a single red eye.
  • Suddenly Voiced: Rotwang and Machine Maria. Only Rotwang is given stock phrases, though.
  • What Could Possibly Go Wrong?: Invoked. Again.
