i imagine maxwell rayner kind of despised the modern day. light pollution, better lamps, all that making people less and less likely to end up in the dark. i also imagine jonah magnus fucking adores the modern day, because the fear of being watched has only gotten stronger and stronger as technology advances. the first time someone went on the internet and was scared that they were being spied on probably felt so good he came.

and simon is truly neutral on the topic because. well. people fall just as much as they used to.
