S3.E12 SPOILERS!!
Omega entering The Vault is a really nice homage to Susan entering The Facility in the 2009 seminal classic 'Monsters Vs Aliens'.

ok so i know that like. my art history knowledge is maybe more than the average person's bc (waves at my ba in art history) so i might be quicker on the draw to recognize calls to semi/famous paintings but let me tell you. i saw this tweet:
(comparing shots between the mario movie and the angry birds movie)
and i laughed a little (to be fair it is a funny comparison, i was not laughing at op for not knowing this. to be clear) and went, well now hold on now, that's not completely right. they're not just referencing each other here, they're also referencing something else entirely! and that something else is this painting, "wanderer above the sea of fog" by german expressionist caspar david friedrich from 1818:
and like this is not something i would've really thought about without prompting, like i probably just went "huh nice reference" when i watched the mario trailer the first time (or didn't realize at all), so it's nice to have a reason to actively think about it lol
and you know it's entirely possible that the mario movie is, in fact, copying the angry birds movie! but the fact remains that the angry birds movie, at the very least, did reference wanderer above the sea of fog. like 100% (though it is fun to note that the mario movie one is more accurate to the landscape of the painting)
