This might seem a ghoulish question but surely there must be quite a few superhero comics and disaster/science fiction films that showed the WTC being damaged or destroyed? Just as Big Ben and the White House are obvious, spectacular targets in that kind of alien-attack or titans-clashing set-piece, the WTC towers must have been featured in films like Independence Day, surely?
It's as if my mind was censored following Sept 2001 because I can't think of any. Is it true or urban myth that the first Spider-Man had a WTC scene?
Oddly, you never even seem to see the towers intact in old (pre-9/11) TV, comics and movies anymore. Maybe once in a while in a forgotten scene-transition from Friends. It seems almost shocking to see the buildings portrayed as they were: recently I came across a couple of NYC city-spreads in Preacher and Invisibles where the very background presence of WTC 1 and 2 jumped out of the page.
Again... I can't even think of any films that used the towers as a set-piece feature. I could believe that any films using them prominently wouldn't be screened on TV anymore, or might even be cut for reasons of public sensitivity, but I'm surprised I don't remember them. |
