“I hear they’ve been renovating that city for years. Millions of dollars invested in making it, what, New Babylon?”
Okay, so this is a huge piece of info to just drop on the audience without any background. I have no idea whether this is a fictional city named Babylon, or the ruins of the historical Babylon. If it's the former, why and where does this city exist. If it's the latter, good luck convincing the UN to move shop to Iraq, of all places. Even in '95, not my first choice as a young Antichrist looking to make my Mark on the world.
Another question that's been buzzing in my head for a while: does Carpathia know that he's the Antichrist? Or does he genuinely believe in his crazy demands that only exist to fulfill prophecy? And if he knows, then why does he go along with it?
