i hear so many people say "um we don't need anymore pandemic movies" when we haven't really had any pandemic movies and i just think it's fascinating because like. we have had basically no art explicitly about the pandemic (there's art clearly inspired by it but very little actually about it) and that's a recurring theme throughout history we don't necessarily make popular art explicitly about traumatic events while we're in them we didn't write books about spanish flu and movies about world war i were controversial for at least a decade and yet there seems to be this perception that the pandemic is everywhere in popular culture even though it's very much not.......idk it's interesting to me.
