First, a little comic book history... DC set the standard for Superhero comics in 1938 when they introduced Superman. Following that was the creation of character after character.
This was called "The Golden Age" of comics.
The 1950s rolled around and superhero books kind of faded away, replaced by crime and horror books. This drew the attention of Frederic Wertham, a child psychologist, who sought to blame all of societies ills on comic books.
2 years after Seduction of the Innocent, DC re-booted superhero comics with Showcase #4, introducing a new version of a Golden Age character called The Flash:
Shortly after that, just like many characters appearing after the introduction of Superman 20 years earlier, a whole host of new characters appeared in the Silver Age, all approved by the Comics Code.
By 1961, DC was facing questions from fans about "Wait, how can there be two Flashes? Or two Green Lanterns? Where are the original characters?"
To explain this, they invented the concept of "Earth 1" and "Earth 2".
All the current characters and stories were happening on Earth 1, all the Golden Age characters and stories were on Earth 2.
Two planets separated by a vibrational difference, a difference that the Flashes of both worlds were able to cross.
And so Flash #123 introduced the whole Earth1 / Earth 2 concept in 1961.
Following that, they set up an annual crossover event between the Justice League (Earth 1) and the Justice Society (Earth 2), as a "CRISIS ON EARTH..."
You would think it would be possible to just swap out the currency mechanism and not the entire machine. Seems like there's an opportunity there somewhere...

Started out with lemmy.one, then when they had major downtime, I started on kbin, but when I couldn't use that with my preffered lemmy app, I spun up lemmy.world which is now my main.
The last name Google Translate did not pick up is Чирико which translates as Chirico. The photo doesn't line up for this guy, but the era and group of people would:
Sorry, I can't take this guy seriously. His first two complaints boil down to "I couldn't suspend my disbelief". Got it. That's not a flaw in the film, that's a flaw between your ears.
I haven't seen the film, I'm of the camp that Fury Road was fine, it wasn't Oscar worthy or anything, but it was fine.
