havent seen it but it seems a bit much to call it "visionary" when the trailer directly quotes Moon, Chappie, 2001, Ghost in the Shell, and probably a bunch of others i missed

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?

lotus elise is already the perfect pizza deliverator car.

the trunk and engine compartment are right next to each other so after a few minutes of running you have a nice 180°F pizza warming cupboard back there. you can fit stack of four 18” pizza boxes back in there, there is room under the spoiler:



also it’s nimble for evading skateboarders trying to grab the rear end for a tow out to the burbclaves.

not armored, but COVID has shown that delivery drivers are expendable anyway.
