dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Bold of you to predict that slop-loving Millennials won't absolutely love a 1-for-1 recreation of something they have already seen. The live-action Lion King movie was literally the highest-grossing animated movie of all time when it came out. Plus this new series is now a period piece, taking place in the 1990s with 1990s fashion, so it's hitting the same nostalgia-dopamine centers as Stranger Things did for the 1980s.

Sorry for spoilers but...

About the Lion King

It wasn't "live action" just animated different.
