"AI uses server farms" oh boy wait until you find out about how google and youtube and twitter and tumblr and facebook and instagram work. & im sure all the digital art that existed pre-generative AI just appeared randomly without any energy cost, sprouted out of the ground i suppose. wow, this pseudoenvironmental way of looking at technology is really good at pointing out when companies you dont like are doing something that companies you do like have been doing much longer

I have my doubts,

The Star Wars Prequel phenomenon is such: the Star Wars Prequels were big box office hits when they came out and they were beloved by children, but hated by adults. Those kids became teenagers/young adults and stopped giving a shit. Then the sequel trilogy came out and it was shit, but it subconsciously triggered happy childhood memories which resurfaced in the form nostalgia for shitty prequels. All the adults who hated the prequels at the time are either dead because they are old or hated the Sequel trilogy even more because of the woke or whatever.

I could be wrong in this, but I don’t think there was a ground swell of support from small children about the Snyderverse at the time. You see stuff like this happen sometimes with other movies and stuff but never to the absolute scale of the Prequel Apologia, and I believe that’s largely a testament to how omnipresent those movies were in the cultural zeitgeist. If you were a kid when one of those movies came out you don’t just remember the movie, you remember the toys, the ads, the candy and sodas, the spin off cartoons, the videogames all that shit becomes a nostalgic mire that makes it difficult for a lot of people to approach objectively.

I suspect that in 20 or so years the synder verse is going to get some sort of cultural reevaluation in the vein of the Star Wars prequels

You ever see a post you agree with it in the beginning or like the overall basic premise but the either the argumentation is complete dogshit, or the go off on a self sabotaging tangent, and you want to say something, but because no one on this site understands nuance you’ll know if you do say something you’ll end up with an inbox full of lobotomites who think you are disagreeing with the basic premise.

(People in 2025) I think I’ll watch scenes from various movies and tv shows chopped up and without context in the form of YouTube shorts until I fall asleep
