Absurdly Spacious Sewer: Difference between revisions

 

{{quote|'''Iwata:''' Wow, I never knew sewer tunnels were so wide and spacious.

 

In real life, most modern sanitary sewers consist of pipes too small for an adult to enter. They typically range from 10 centimeters in diameter coming from individual properties, to maybe 60 to 70 centimeters (roughly two feet) in the street. Even these largest ones can at best only be crawled through, and then only if they are currently empty. Older sewer systems frequently consist of underground canals with relatively narrow walkways on the side.

* ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]''. In all incarnations, their sewer lair is larger than any house you've been in ([[Big Fancy House|possibly]]) and the tunnels are wide enough to accommodate vehicles like the tank-sized Battle Shell. It is ''very'' seldom that the Turtles must come into contact with anything you've flushed. In the 1990s cartoon, their original lair was invaded and they later got ''another, even more palatial'' one.

** Kind of justified; Their second lair was actually {{spoiler|an ancient, abandoned [[Atlantis|Elyntian]] outpost}}. They later moved out of the sewers and into a warehouse.

** They're for when someone calls flush();

* In ''[[Sonic Underground]]'', the only way to get very deep into Dr. Robotnik's empire was in... the sewers.
