what a strange timeline we live in

Proof that cinematic universes are worthless.

Make a movie and just give it an ending. Fuck your wishy washy no commitment to closure, every hero survives, pump out as many shows and spin offs bullshit style of universe building.

pump out as many shows and spin offs

Know of any recent franchise that has outdone Angry Birds? (I’m sure Batman et al. have, but maybe more recent.)

Tangentially relevant from a few days ago:

Goodness! Have you seen the Angry Birds Wiki?

With almost all sections expanded:

Longest I’ve ever seen. Maybe a hundred spinoffs.

I mean if you count every piece of media like that I imagine someone like Marvel or DC would beat them just due to comic books and the fact they've been around a lot longer.

Context? Srry.

To the best of my knowledge:

Skibidi Toilet is getting a movie.

Ben10 despite it’s financially proven track record (per the meme) has not received a feature-length cinematic release.

Nah there's no fucking way. A movie of a GMOD studio fanmade?? That's odd af.

Are you absolutely certain that it isn't a psyop meant to make millennials feel extremely old and mystified about wtf is going on with Gen Z?

Because after watching the first 40 of those (I tried to watch them all but I just couldn't), I feel older and more alienated from younger generations than I ever have before 😄

On behalf of Gen Z, we do not associate with Skibidi Toilet. That is Gen Alpha’s nonsense.

Dude, we had this. Let the young 'uns have their fun.

Oh, for sure! I didn't mean to yuck on their yum, just express my own experience and hyperbolic pseudo-hypothesis 😁

2 days later I came across your comment, clicked the link.

Wow, I haven't heard Yatta in like a decade. Monday morning nostalgia attack, thanks for this.

I watched it all because my 11 year old was going on about it. Turns out I watched more than she had. So, I dunno.

Well done! As a parent, you probably have a higher pain and confusion threshold than I do tbh 😄

BTW, which was your favorite character? Mine was the speakers-headed monster because it was the only one that played music I could relate to 😄

(the 1985 banger Everybody Wants To Rule The World)

Oh, it's been quite a minute since I watched so I don't remember much about the characters, and since, well, I had to do a hard reset on my brain after watching it.

I try to involve myself in what she's into. We have a really tight bond because of this.

We're both super into Hazbin Hotel. I know she's technically young for it, but I took the time to make sure she understands the concepts in the show and what it all means.

Listen, as someone who watched a ton of SFM and gmod videos, this is the exact same type of humor I (a millennial) enjoyed like 10 years back.

Ok I never even considered watching this, but gave it a try, and genuinely liked it lmao

you know, I knew I was out of touch around the time of fidget spinners, but this is a new level of "get off my lawn" I thought I wouldn't reach til my 30s

Ok, ok, but what other memes deserve it more? Where's my generations' full-length Candy Mountain movie, huh?

Charlie the Unicorn already did this to perfection. It is full length. No more needed.

True, unlike Skibidi, you can't improve on perfection, even with Micheal Bay explosions.

But I'd still like the trailer: "Chaaaarlie, let's go to Candy Mountain, chaaaarlie"

In a world of unicorns... Three dare to go to Candy Mountain, but only one will go in...

I'm on Skibidi Toilet 41 and honestly. I'll watch a movie about it.

It’s because its an original piece of shit.

You can't make WB money! How else wil Zalsav sell the company off to a private equity and dissolve it while keeping his bonus?

I hate when people use the term cinematic universe when they just mean "movie".

idk who their market is for this, the 9 year olds who watch this stuff aren't big movie goers

They would, as a tax write off
