Hasn’t Toy Story ended like twice already?
in the year 2029, toystory 14 will be about toys who talk a lot of shit about race, and do sexual violence. donald trump will complain it is too woke, ask where the hitler toy is, and sign an executive order mandating toys have two genders
Stoked at my future toys featuring a mandatory cock
Tbf, I would like to see a doll of that guy get experimented on and ultimately destroyed by Sid. It'd be funny to me the same way I enjoy Great Patriotic War films full of Brits and Americans making large amounts of Nazis explode or otherwise die horribly.
I call it the "denial loop", where a creator in a capitalist system keeps saying "this is the last one" but then keeps getting made to do more.
Mfw capitalists "invent" edging like they invented "quiet quitting"
Can’t remember the exact Graeber quote, but it’s something like, “Once you’ve had success, the system will conspire to make sure you do nothing else ever again.”
I believe he was speaking about how his success with Bullshit Jobs almost precluded him from moving on to Debt.
i can't speak to whence graeber said that, but it is not possible that his success with BS Jobs precluded him from moving on to Debt, as Debt was published long before.
Maybe they meant The Dawn of Everything, his final book.
that would make more sense, they probably meant that yeah
I could have been wrong about the context in either direction. I’ve heard him say it multiple times during his talks. Might have been his Google talk?
for sure, i think i've also heard him say that before. i was just being unnecessarily pedantic about his publication order. you're all good.
The Kojima Principle
also the Toriyama Effect
I was with them up till 3. 3 had the best emotional closure.
It was a canonical ending, like what the hell. I boycotted 4 out of anger.
Yeah I felt like 3 was the end of the story. Not as good as 1 and 2 imo, but it was enjoyable and a nice way to end the story at a time when those who grew up with it were entering adulthood. But then they make 4, which I didn’t see but I think it gives some sort of closure to the story a second time.
Have we hit the arc where Andy buys all of his toys off eBay again to recapture a sense of nostalgia in the crumbling capitalist hellscape?
