The Force Unleashed was a multimedia release, just as Shadows of the Empire. Near simultaneously a video game was released with novelization, comic adaptations, toys & other merch. There was also a Making of TFU book.
@ranmasaotome96 I wish I saved it in my camera roll but 4+ years ago I saw a hilarious tweet which the original was some sappy thing like “Treasue HIM, Take care of HIM, Feed HIM, LOVE HIM” THEN somebody quoted it with “Bam Margera in the early 2000s⬇️” 😂
@thefootofthebed@ranmasaotome96 That's not entirely true. Bam has worn trench coats as far as back as the CKY days. Ville Valo's fashion sense for sure had a tremendous influence on him and HIM's whole aesthetic but Bam was always been into Metal, Punk, etc.
@ranmasaotome96 Every single guy from Jackass is a great example of positive masculinity. Even if they're straight, they're comfortable enough in their sexuality to be gay as fuck.
I’ll never forget the time an interviewer asked Johnny Knoxville about the homoerotic subtext in Jackass and he got mad at them for calling it subtext.
Obviously the whole history of superhero comics is one long sad story of these shady companies ripping off countless artists, but what this post is really about is Rob Liefeld now being in year three of his meltdown tantrum over being embarrassed by Bob Iger not knowing or caring who the fuck he was at the Deadpool premiere 😆
The internet is full of people who think that they're box office analysts who can't figure out things like the fact that the US box office and international box office are two different numbers
People go there to stand in rows and stare at a stage. As if some guys banging on drums or singing into a microphone are really that interesting. Music is not visual. It’s sound that contributes to an ambience of a social occasion. Somehow this has turned into image worship
This type of attitude ironically mirrors the elitism of Classical music. Plus wearing silly costumes to shows has been a thing at least 20 years before these idiots started playing.
Going to shows wasn't always about the performers on stage. Rock and its subgenres always had more of a focus on the performers themselves but other music genres and types of social, musical events in the past a lot of times had more of a focus on actually being in the crowd.
Overinflated egos of musicians comes from this culture of “people go to shows to *see* the musicians”. Instead of serving as an actual social occasion to which the musicians merely contribute one element, it becomes a venue for “curating” one’s individual “taste” in a “genre”
@Is_Not_Brian Old head punk here- people have been wearing dumb costumes to shows since forever. Definitely 90's and beyond. The punk scene is supposed to be a place to express yourself however you want. If they're not hurting anyone, it's no one's business.
