this is revisionist nostalgia grift shit.

No, it wasn’t.

It was trash, has always been trash. Now there’s a small group of people trying to make themselves out as the “oh so quirky, you just don’t get it” cool kids. Reimagining the movie as though it was something it was not. It wasn’t a subversion of capitalism or cyberpunk… it wasn’t some misunderstood masterpiece… it was 90’s cocaine capitalist marketing team movie/toy/game tie-in meant to squeeze as much value as possible from kids and parents who wanted their kids to shut up for 90 minutes. Just like everything else in that time.

People, today, trying to make it out as something more just want to sell nostalgia/indie bait for clicks and watch time.

EDIT: actually, I’ll add, it’s not just grfity nostalgia bs. The movie was so bad, that it was a meme to make fun of it as though it was some serious cyberpunk dystopia. But, internet being internet, can’t tell the difference between authenticity and ridicule, and so they started to believe it. Literally no-one was calling the 90’s MarioBros movie a “masterpiece” until around 5 years ago, when it fell back into the cultural zeitgeist to mock it. Nearly 30 years, no-one is giving this movie any accolades until it becomes the “in” thing, an indie meme, “you probably wouldn’t understand… no one gets it”…

The what?..

The Legend Of Zelda director Wes Ball

Oh great, so lets just give a beloved video game franchise of 30+ years, with all its rich lore and stories, and massive generational fan following… to a young, no-name director who has never made a movie above 6.8. Whose highest achievement is being nominated in a niche category of a niche film academy.

and who is writing this screenplay?..

Derek Connolly and T.S. Nowlin

actual nobodies. Like, straight to VHS level nobodies.

And you’re telling me, Nintendo signed off on this, but can’t afford to hire quality professionals for one of the largest, international flagship franchise? Nintendo, can’t afford it? This shit is gonna be Mario Bros (1993) all over again. Not even a quick cash grab… Nintendo doesn’t need the cash, it’s just shitting on fans because they can… which is VERY Nintendo.

Good god, wtf is wrong with her face? Are UK women catching MarALago face now too?

Or maybe, the sky cracked?

The only thing I know about the movie is that incels love it, and that alone is why I wont watch it.

Its less that the movies didnt have time for it, and moreso that the screenplay was written up when only half of the books were out. Bryan OMalley kinda gave them a rough bullet points and general trajectory, but basically everything after Todd (number 3) was made up.

The games and the animated series actually tie up these alternate stories with the subspace highway and alternate dimensions.

This is the correct way of thinking.

Anyone trying to sell something different is either a psyop dipshit trying to sew division or a self-rigtheous fart smelling wokescold who was duped by the psyop.

You see their username, right? The most weaboo of weaboo shit? Of course they have completely misguided opinions on their anime paradise.

Oh, yea, thats me, big nazi bootlicker.

There are actual nazis around and you dilute it to be meaningless when you compare real harmful actual nazis to fucking pewdiepie. No one should take you seriously. Log off.

What a silly thing to virtue signal about.

“Hey everyone, I, too, know the meme about calling pewdiepie a nazi… why is he a nazi? Uhhhh cuz he is… cuz my other favorite quirky youtuber (and arent I cool for knowing him) hbomberguy said so in a viral vid 10 years ago… and that vid totally wasn’t capitalizing on pewdiepie being the largest youtuber channel in the world for any sensationalism and drama… or clipped in bad faith for a viral audience…”

This is a very tired narrative. 10 years running based on one hbomberguy 14min vid.

Exactly, please share.

My shit is just a nas with a ghetto puck mini pc running proxmox and a few services Im able to run scripts for…

100% this is my struggle.

I want things to be orderly because walking into a chaotic place is mentally stressing for me. I feel overwhelmed by things in the way, I am stressed when trying to find things, and I feel like all the things left out are just more things that need to be done when I already have a lot of things to do. This overstimulation causes my brain to just short circuit and shutdown…

I am on the right, the wife and kid are on the left.

We have such sights to show you…
