It’s the 20s-50s
Universal Monsters terrify audiences and become important in pop-culture.
Horror icons like Vincent Price, Lon Chaney, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi have their start in the horror genre at Univeral, but they get typcast (for better or worse)
The code prevents these scares
Universal Monsters lean more into the comedy, do crossovers and have Abbott and Costello for films.
The cultural zeitgeist moves on
It’s the 70s-80s
Slashers terrify audiences and become important in pop-culture.
A lot of stars even got their start in horror like Jamie Lee Curtis, George Clooney and Kevin Bacon. They’re not typcast this time. Slasher actors are changed a lot though (I remember with Leatherface it was a money thing for TCM 2)
The censorship prevents these scares and companies are ashamed of these low budget movies
Slashers lean more into the comedy, doing crossovers and even invite celebrities. Friday the 13th part 6 and Scream adds more genre aware humor
The cultural zeitgeist moves on
No idea what the 2020s will bring, but we’ve been here before, you know.
Edit: Important note. I have nothing against horror’s silly periods. I love them for real. Also every horror movie before and after these decades are obviously worth looking into I just had famous pop-culture antagonists in minds when typing this

The thing I love about the ending of mha is not only that there's no conclusive "canon ship", but the way he ended it as sort of a new beginning, so anything could start to happen.
And specifically for bkdk, it's not canon but he gave us AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT TO WORK WITH.
Katsuki leading the project to get Izuku a support suit so he could be a working hero again. Katsuki putting out a hand for izuku to take.
The forgone conclusion that Izuku and Katsuki will now be competing again as they ALWAYS WANTED. Their future could have them jockeying for rankings for the rest of their lives, constantly one upping each other, AND/OR they could become partners, or open their own agency!
The implication that Katsuki wanted a future WITH IZUKU so badly that he contributed a large chunk of his own money and resources to making it happen. That he MOST LIKELY was where they got a lot of the info on how the Quirks worked and how Izuku utilized them. Sure they have battle footage, but katsuki had intimate knowledge as Izukus closest person and sparring partner.
The fact that A PROPOSAL, A RING, AND A WEDDING WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER.
Like there are so many little ideas buzzing around my head and it's not fair that I don't even have enough time to sit down with them for post epilogue fics 😅
And I want to know more about that suit. I hope they animate it more in the anime when the time comes bc I do want a little super suit fanservice.

I think some of you don't understand that Oscar is not being criticized for racing, people are concerned that Oscar kind of fucked up the possibility of a 1-2 quite early in the race 😭 Lando said that if he braked one meter later they both couldve been out in that corner. It's easy to say "it's not Oscar's fault that Lando can't race his teammate", when he has more to lose with a dnf, and Oscar is taking advantage of the team's decision to let them fight without orders, he's always going to risk more because he knows that Lando is forced to hold back.
I'm not going to blame Oscar for wanting to win at any cost or for not caring about 1-2 today, in the end this is the team's responsibility, they are the ones who don't want to back Lando, it's normal that Oscar doesn't care.

haven’t had chuck-won-theory on the brain for a few months now but my quick pre-work thesis for it is this
• chuck offhandedly mentions that an ending where he’s defeated by the Winchesters “feels right”
• jack spends roughly 14 episodes combined in the worst mental state possible (on a scale of psychotic to suicidal) and all of that literally magically goes away after absorbing chuck’s powers
• AU Michael describing what Jack will turn out to be is almost a perfect match for how he acts after becoming god (particularly on the ‘loyalty’ part)
• jack has literally never once expressed any interest or desire for power; he blatantly tells the guys that he’s “done being special, and just wants to live his life before it’s over” in 14x08; he abandons God’s Throne in heaven for the bunker without a second thought in 14x19. from mid-season13 and onward he’s only ever cared about his family and staying with them
* even if it turns out that he did willingly become god to save the world, it was still to serve a purpose and not something he truly wanted for himself, which defeats the whole point of his arc being about being loved for who he is and not for his place in a grand scheme (Cas’ final words to him mind you) , and defeats the point of the show
theres definitely more but like I said I’m spitting this all out before work and I just like to reorganize my thoughts every so often (ˊωˋ)👍

kind of obsessed with the idea of Robert trying desperately to win Giselle a prize at some carnival-esc game because he wants to win his lady a stuffed animal !!! but he just absolutely Sucks at everything, and Giselle is finally like "can I try :) ?" and ends up winning nearly every prize they have almost immediately.

the line about logan roy not being able to fit a whole woman in his head being said from his own daughter is so. something about daughters and their fathers something about daughters who are their father’s child something about daughters who are daddy’s little favorite daddy’s little girl but the second they start having opinions and the second they start talking back, the father holds their daughter out with open hostility and suspicion, something about how only years later will the father occasionally go, do you remember? do you remember when we used to have good days, when you used to come to me with all your wonders and your worries, do you remember when we were stuck together like glue, what happened to that and the daughter just has to give her father a rueful smile as though she hasn’t been wondering why her father built up that wall in the first place as though she hadn’t been wondering since when did her father only ever said good morning to her brothers as though she hadn’t been wondering since when did her father only ever ask her brothers to accompany him to work and something about shiv roy saying my father couldn’t fit a whole woman in his head and something about shiv roy still crying the most when she learned that her father was dead something about how shiv roy called her father the world and yet something about how shiv roy still asks her father’s closest male confidants if he was really that bad, was my father still an okay guy when they all know the truth, they all know he wasn’t a good person, but shiv roy still remembers playing outside her father’s office just to get him to come out and shiv roy still remembers her father telling her to remember, slant of light and ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh fathers and their daughters daughters and their fathers or whatever

I feel like the Plinths would ultimately be okay after his rise to power, but mostly cause he had the setup for becoming a gamemaker through Gaul's internship. If Coryo came back from twelve and went through college and was setup to inherit the Plinth's munition business, he'd get rid of the Plinths, but since he was going the politics route instead of the business route and they were already supporting, funding, and endorsing him, they'd be okay. (Unless people commented on him being taken care of by District borns cause of Capital bias, then he'd distance himself in the same way he distanced from Tigris, but I don't think he'd harm them at all.)
-🐭
yeah I agree! I don’t think he harmed them in any way, I think at most he just distanced/cut off with them once he was successful enough on his own because in the end he was using them, so ofc he’d be done with them once he’s gotten to a better place.
