    If back to the future was made today it 100% would be a Cybertruck, the Delorean occupied the same cultural space of “That weird looking piece of shit car”

    The modern version would almost certainly include my-hero as part of the “good future,” in much the same way that the bazingas behind Star Trek Discovery name dropped my-hero in the hopes of getting a free Te$la.

      I’m sure the bazingas who wrote it didn’t intend this but wasn’t the guy who referred positively to Elon musk secretly from the mirror universe where everyone is evil and bisexual and wears leather pants?

        Yes!

        Lorca wasn’t intended to be from the mirror universe until his P R E S T I G E T V edgelordery got so over the top that there was a retcon partway through, which made the “kiss my-hero 's ass with a ‘heroic’ name drop to try to get a free Te$la” ploy from the director even more clownish after the fact.
