FINALLY SOMEONE PUT IT INTO WORDS!!! I donāt think Zepotha is a bad idea, it was just terribly executed. No one on TikTok is putting much effort(that Iāve seen) into actually putting together a story. There are bits and pieces, like the Forrest scene, or Maxine and Alaines underlying homosexuality, or like how there are sequels(which honestly makes it more confusing cause then it just adds too much in the beginning of the creation). Even then itās just people being like, the Forrest scene scared me, and then they donāt add anything to it. Like at least put effort and give something. Even most videos are like, āthis was such an obscure movie that was ahead of its timeā or something, but then they donāt say anything about the characters or scenes. ITS NOT BELIEVABLE! Goncharov was believable because there was actual context and conversations for the scenes, it wasnāt just, āoh the bridge scene broke meā, it was people giving in-depth analysisās of scenes. IT MAKES IT FEELS GENUINE. Goncharov was created by creatives, whereas Zepotha feels like people just wanting to be in on the joke and nothing more. I love the idea but thereās too many people who want so badly to be in on the joke that they add shit that just convolutes everything. How do you add them? Thereās like a google doc I think so maybe if more people read it and then started genuinely having conversations about the characters and scenes(and maybe cinematography and special effects to add more substance) instead of just being like āyou look like ___ from Zepothaā
okay look, the real reason that zepotha shit is never gonna be Goncharov (besides it being a marketing ploy) is because Goncharov was treated like a fandom (collaborative including celebrities, built upon over time, openly fictional) & zepotha is treated like a tiktok trend (no collaboration, dies fast, treated like reality recklessly). it doesn't matter if it's interesting or cool or what, they've been built on completely different foundations. you're comparing Spiderverse to Endgame here. hydrogen bomb VS coughing baby. zepotha will never have Lynda Carter & Martin Scorsese's approval.
#jeeze that was long#zepotha#itās not a bad idea#just terrible execution#I know w gonch it developed pretty quickly#but I feel like Zepotha just blew up and too much was added too fast#like why are we talking about sequels and prequels when we donāt even know the main plot yet???#I remember first hearing that alaine and Maxine were vampires#and then I hear theyāre camp Councelors?#buddy if we canāt decide what our characters even do that weāre fucked#also it was a marketing ploy#which kinda takes the fun out of it honestly#also the creator of the meme didnāt help at all#like they gave nothing to go off of other than ā80s horror movieā#LIKE BUDDY YOU GOTTA BE MORE SPECIFIC#oof sorry for ze rant
