Legends never die

When the world is calling you

(is calling you)

Can you hear them

screaming out your name?

Legends never die

They become a part of you

(a part of you)

every time

you bleed

for reaching

greatness

Legends never die…

After months of agonising, debating and eventual capitulation, I got my kid a smartphone three months ago. She now knows more about iPhones than I do.

Which means she is now Officer of Tech Support for my elderly mother.

Passing the torch

[blazehedgehog]

Why do you think there is so much passing the torch nowadays in media?

I don't know. I just think it's a little presumptuous, is all. To feel important enough that somebody has to carry your legacy. Not because they want to, but because they have to.

Indiana Jones can't just die. Lightning McQueen can't just retire. It has to keep going.

"Passing the torch" isn't a new concept, but it's always this surprise at the very end of the movie where the older person will be like "you gotta run the company now, son."

But modern passing-the-torch movies are always treated as this big teaching moment, where the boomer/gen-x/millennial is grumpy about the younger generation and they both have to meet in the middle. The younger generation teaches the older person not to be such a grouch, and the older person teaches the younger how to toughen up.

I suppose it's almost like redemption for the older person. That's definitely what it is in the modern God of War games, right? Kratos feels regret for being such a murderous, angry monster, and is trying to suppress that rage in order to make his son into a better person than he was. By making his son into a good person, Kratos can feel absolved of his guilt.

Which just ties into the idea of: Really? That's your fantasy? "I know I'm an asshole, but I don't want my son to be an asshole"?

I mean, I guess the 90's were all about being sad and angry at the state of the world, right. The birth of grunge and numetal music. So I suppose that generation connects with these ideas if they were constantly pissed off about everything for over a decade.

It's still weird, though.
