40 Jahre 1984 - Wenn Kult feiert
2024 ist 1984 40 Jahre her. Abgesehen davon dass das für diejenigen, die in diesem Jahr bereits geboren waren oder in diesem Jahr geboren wurden, ein schauderhafter Gedanke ist, und dieser Satz für andere ein sinnloses Mathe-Beispiel darstellt, ist er vor allem deswegen von Bedeutung, weil 1984 ein pop-kulturell gesehen bedeutendes Jahr war. So feiern zum Beispiel "The Karate Kid", "Ghostbusters", "Terminator", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Gremlins", "Footloose", "Beverly Hills Cop", "Police Academy", "Sixteen Candles", "Toxic Avengers" und das "Thriller"-Musikvideo ihr 40-Jähriges Jubiläum in diesem Jahr. Hinzu kommen 40er für unsterbliche nicht aus diesen Filmen stammende Songs wie "What's Love got to do with it", "Against all Odds (Take a Look at me now)" und "I just called to say I love you". Ebenfalls 40 werden Kultserien wie "Robin of Sherwood", die Jeremy Brett-Sherlock Holmes-Serie, "Miami Vice", "Mord ist ihr Hobby", "Airwolf" und "Wer ist hier der Boss?!". 40 Jahre werden außerdem die Marvel-Heldin Julia Carpenter (früher Spider-Woman, heute Madame Web), der Anti-Held Venom, die Mutanten Legion, Forge und Warlock, sowie der Oberschurke der Beyonder, denn das berühmte erste "Secret Wars"-Crossover-Event feiert dieses Jahr ebenfalls seinen vierzigsten Geburtstag, und in diesem wurden eben die zweite Spider-Woman, Venom und der Beyonder in den Marvel Kosmos eingeführt, und diesem haben wir die lästigen alljährlichen Crossover-Events zu verdanken, die uns seit dem verfolgen. In diesem Jahr startete auch Alan Moores "Swamp Thing"-Run bei DC und die "Judas Contract"-Storyline erblickte dort ebenfalls das Licht der Welt. Kurz gesagt, es war ein Jahr, das einiges an pop-kulturellen Highlighs zu bieten hatte.
Und das hat Auswirkungen auf die Pop-Kultur des Jahres 2024. Termingerecht (wenn vielleicht auch eher zufällig) erscheint mit "Madame Web" die erste Live-Action Version von Julia Carpenter und Spider-Woman überhaupt schon am Valentinstags. "Venom 3" soll ja ebenfalls noch dieses Jahr kommen, und wegen dem Jubiläum wird Sony versuchen diesen Termin auch einzuhalten, aber die Streiks haben so manche Pläne verzögert und verschoben. So kann Sony zwar einen neuen "Ghostbusters"-Film raushauen, die lange angekündige Feier des 40er für die "Karate Kid"-Franchise mag zwar aber für dieses Jahr angekündigt sein, wird sich aber, wenn wir Glück haben, frühestens in den Dezember quetschen können. Netflix veröffentlicht eine Jubiläums-Fortsetzung von "Beverly Hills Cop", aber die Wiederbelebung der "Terminator"-Franchise nach deren "Dark Fate"-verschuldeten Tod wird dieses Jahr wohl kaum stattfinden können, während der "Germlins"-Reboot sich ebenfalls nicht mehr dieses Jahr ausgehen wird. Der neue "Toxic Avenger" war ein Jahr zu früh dran, während Freddy sowohl seinen Reboot als auch sein Jubiläum verschlafen zu haben scheint, trotz immer wieder aufkommender Gerüchte über das Gegenteil. Doch wer weiß, vielleicht sucht Freddy Krueger die Alptäume von Teenagern streikbedingt doch noch irgendwann in den den nächsten Monaten oder Jahren heim. "Police Academy" hingegen feiert seinen Geburtstag mit einer neuen Hinter den Kulissen-Serie, was weniger aufwendig und zugleich zielführender ist als eine erzwungene Fortsetzung im Jahre 2024, aber auf Grund der zurückgehaltenen Veröffentlichung Interviews mit einigen Verstorbenen enthalten wird.
Marvel hat unterdessen eine weitere seiner Flashback-Miniserien gestartet um das Jubiläum von "Secret Wars" zu feiern, während uns bisher noch kein Remake von "Mord ist ihr Hobby" droht und Tony Danza zuletzt eher damit beschäftigt war die Jubiläen von anderen Leuten zu feiern (zurecht, es ist nur recht und billig Dick Van Dyke zu feiern, während er noch unter uns ist und unsere Liebe mitbekommen kann, auch wenn es "nur" ein 98er und keine 100er ist!). Und Tonys Fernsehtochter sieht sich gerade einer Character Assassination-Kampagne durch eine sterbende Shannon Doherty ausgesetzt (ja wir reden hier über die 80er, aber es scheint als würden wir uns in Wahrheit immer noch in 90ern befinden). Zumindest ist sie dabei in guter Gesellschaft.
Man sieht also, dass der 40er nicht von allen als besonders angesehen und entsprechend gefeiert wird, und vielleicht ist das auch ganz gut so. Wie gesagt, man sollte feiern, was man feiern kann, anstatt auf runde Jubliäen zu warten. Natürlich ist es schön einen besonderen Geburtstag zu feiern, wenn es möglich ist, aber der gezwungene Versuch etwas daraus zu machen oder sagen wir Interviews fünf Jahre verspätet zu einer Geburtstags-Doku zusammenzuschneiden ist auch nicht die Lösung. Genauso wenig wie einfach mal einen neuen Film anzukündigen, dann mitzubekommen, dass ihn keiner haben will, weil es der Franchise im Moment unter anderen Namen gut geht und sie mehr Fans als jemals zuvor hat, und dann schnell einzulenken und die Beteiligten an dem aktuellen Erfolgsprodukt doch zur Hilfe zu rufen, und dann schnell schnell etwas zusammenzuzimmern, das vor dem Jahresende fertig sein muss. Und wozu alles ständig rebooten und fortsetzen? Wie wäre es, wenn man ein Jubiläum einfach feiert, indem man sich das ansieht, was gefeiert wird? Lieber den Original-"Footloose"-Film ansehen als irgendeinen möglicherweise schauerhaften "Gremlins"-Reboot erwarten, ist meine Meinung. Und aus "Terminator" wird sowieso nie wieder etwas werden, solange man James Cameron daran schalten und walten lässt, siehe "Dark Fate". Und die angeblichen "Ghostbusters"-Fans mögen sowieso nur den Ur-Film und hassen alles andere aus der Franchise (mit Ausnahme vielleicht der ironischerweise schwächsten Fortsetzung, nämlich der letzten, aber das ist meiner Meinung nach ein "Star Wars"-artiges Nostalgie-Phänomen, was spätestens nach Ansehen des neuen Films dieses Jahr nachlassen wird). Wie gesagt, Julia Carpenters Live Action Debüt in diesem Jahr ist vor allen ein Zufall und weniger geplant als man meinen könnte, und dadurch wirkt es natürlich und nicht gezwungen. So etwas ist eine gelungene Art zu feiern, alles andere ist genau das eben nicht.
Lehnt euch also zurück, seht euch das "Thriller"-Musikvideo zur Gänze an, streamt die zweite Staffel von "Stranger Things", seht euch "Wonder Woman 1984" an, und findet Zeit eure Lieblingsserie über einen britischen Kultcharakter aus den 1980ern zu bingen - feiert wie ihr wollt und träumt nicht von Freddy Krueger, wenn es sich einrichten lässt. Und damit habt ihr dem Jahr 1984 schon Genüge getan.

Waittt, what did you mean with your last post?? I don't want to spoil myself so I'm waiting for the nightmare before christmas event to arrive on the eng server before diving deep into the wiki. But I HAVE to know; were there hints of Lilia joining in for a rerun or a sequel ??? Your big "OR IS IT???" filled me with way too much hope !! please tell me it wasn't a bit : (
there was a little teaser at the end that implied there'll be a sequel event, though we don't really know anything beyond that! I do think it's likely we'll get the other half of the cast in it, even if it's just wishful thinking on my part. 🤞🤞 NIGHTMARE SUITS FOR EVERYONE!!!!
as far as I know there's been no confirmation on whether it's going to be next year's Halloween event or a separate thing (the snow makes me think it'll be more Christmas-themed, or otherwise more related to the plot of the original movie) so. we're probably going to have to wait quite a while before we find out anything solid. :') they really do love just dropping these things on us and then watching us go absolutely wild with speculation while they watch like
#joseimuke games are serious business#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#lost in the book with nightmare before christmas#hajimari no halloween#me the second i saw the question mark at the end: ahhhh so that's why lilia couldn't be in it#(nods sagely) they were saving him for the second one. yes. of course.#to get more into event spoilers though (so stop reading here if you're avoiding them for now!)#this does explain some things i was wondering about!#like the stitch event didn't follow the movie at all so i wasn't really surprised that this didn't either#but i WAS surprised that oogie wasn't so much as mentioned#if he's also being saved for the second part then that makes a lot more sense#though i am sorry that jamil won't get to meet the man made of bugs 😔#however i am very excited for lilia and floyd to wreak chaos across not one but two holidays!#half the characters: now hold on can we talk about this before --#lilia and floyd: (already shoving santa into a bag) KIDNAP THE SANDY CLAWS#i guess the real question is...if this is for next halloween are we gonna get an oogie boy to go along with it#how many handsome animes can they squeeze out of this franchise? more than you'd expect#wait so does this mean the rhythmic being essentially the opening to the movie was like...foreshadowing or something#or am i overthinking it as per usual#(eng i am praying for you that this rhythmic won't get eaten by the music licensing monsters and replaced with some generic instrumental)#(it is SO cute i love it SO much)

Having watched Nightmare on Elm Street for the first time last night, with no other context for the series, I have a proposition I would like to put forth to you:
The real actual human being, Fred Kreuger, may have been innocent.
Whether he was or not, the dream monster Freddy Kreuger actually originates from the minds of the parents, as the feverishly paranoid idea of an outsider predator lurking in a Nice Suburban Neighborhood amplified by the real lived experience of having a serial killer in your area growing up, and the necessary justification for burning a man to death in his own home and stealing his weird art gloves as a trophy you keep in your basement for some reason.
I don't really have enough of a functioning brain right this second to do a full essay right now, but. There's something about how the parents of the targeted kids in Nightmare on Elm Street are antagonists in a similar way to the mayor in JAWS, ignoring, dismissing, or misappropriating blame for the problem of Freddy Kreuger even once it becomes obvious that something out of the ordinary is happening. I'm not saying it actually makes sense to jump straight to "my daughter really is being attacked by a Dream Murderer", but throughout the film there's not only this intense insistence that Everything Is Fine Now even after multiple murders have occurred, there's a deep hostility towards any action implying that things are not fine now or acting like a problem still exists after it's been "dealt with", and an ongoing theme of looking away from the problem and acting like that makes it fine when it doesn't (which even helps make sense of that strangely abrupt ending).
The parents want simple actions and simple answers, and they want to not have to deal with the situation anymore. The clean even slashes on Tina's nightgown must be from too-long fingernails. Rod was the murderer and he killed himself, case closed. Nancy's acting "crazy", she must be dangerous herself. Would it be that surprising if people with this approach to danger, who know themselves to be in danger and crave a simple solution, two of whom grew up to be a cop and his daydrinking "learn to look away" wife, looked at a man acquitted of murder and decided that him being wrongly acquitted was an easier, more comfortable answer than still not knowing who the threat actually was? Would it be that far-fetched for people with these thought patterns and behaviors to have cemented said thinking and behavior by enacting horrifying mob violence (because burning someone to death is a hell of a thing to do, and to witness, regardless of who's burning to death or why) and needing to be able to live with that afterward?
And Kreuger doesn't act like a real person. Sure, yeah, it's a slasher movie, you're not necessarily going to expect a slasher killer to act like a real person. Also, horrible people can in fact be horrible in uncomplicated, unsubtle, over-the-top ways (see Donald Trump). Kreuger, though, is practically a distillation of the child predator and murderer as imagined by the kind of person who legitimately believes people are putting heroin and razor blades in Halloween candy, you know? Outsider, dirty and disheveled, visibly marked as Different (by their own actions), flat and seedy hypersexual behavior, a person whose only motive is to instill fear and who has no internal or external justifications otherwise. He's the, word choice intentional, reality-disconnected nightmare of an upper-middle-class centrist-to-conservative white suburbanite, a perfect subhuman threat of a monster, the kind you can look at and go "yeah, setting this guy on fire was a fair call".
(Speaking of, it's... interesting, the way he reacts to being set on fire, isn't it? Everywhere else he's either implausibly resilient and unconcerned, furious and still threatening, or has a hammy movie villain sort of distress when threatened or thwarted. But he sure does act like an actual person who's on fire there, doesn't he? Like the sort of scene that might be indelibly marked on someone's memory, if they watched a real person burn to death?)
And he's also pretty explicitly framed in the movie as a construction of some kind, much moreso than as a vengeful ghost. The (weirdly casually racist but period typical) lucid dreaming explanation, and Nancy's approach from that point on, certainly support that framing, as does the fixation on (drawing strength from?) fear and belief. Nancy seems to think he's coming from her brain, and maybe he is by that point, but Nancy didn't know who Fred Kreuger was when all this started. Her parents and her friends' parents did.
I dunno. Like I said, this is a ramble, not a coherent essay. But I think there's a decent argument to be made that the real Fred Kreuger was never involved here at all, except as a fossilized impression in the psyches of a nightmare's true source.
#Snail babble#Freddy Krueger#A Nightmare On Elm Street#now watch the extremely dedicated franchise fanbase completely shred this lol#suburbs are creepy though#I'll stand by that at least#Useless Hostile Cop Dad was also distressingly realistic
