So last week, the second week of paid lessons, I called my sifu out on his lack of quality in the classes. I told him this wasn't the quality of class he used to teach. He got all huffy and told me that if I knew better than my sifu then perhaps I shouldn't have one. Meanwhile I'm thinking, 'Well, who taught me what a good class is supposed to entail? You.' I had to talk him down from an argument he seemed all too ready to pursue. Subsequent classes have been better, though, and I have no complaints now.
He's been trying to bait me ever since I returned. I've been letting it all roll off. I'm there to get a job done, not rehash things. His students treat me with more respect than he does. What can I say? He still wants a fight that was over more than 2 years ago.

Well done on confronting him. Because of the ego issues, he was never going to admit he was wrong, but at least now the classes are improving. He may still have issues but that's his problem as long as he now delivers the service which he's there to deliver.

I like the way that the inventor (in Metropolis) has a pentagram on his door and when we first see the robot, it has an inverted pentagram above its head. I wonder if the inventor is intended to be viewed as a magician or alchemist as much as a scientist. I wonder if the robot is meant to be just a robot or if we are supposed to think that maybe it is a golem. Maybe that's just me reading the Occult into everything!
