    Proof that cinematic universes are worthless.

    Make a movie and just give it an ending. Fuck your wishy washy no commitment to closure, every hero survives, pump out as many shows and spin offs bullshit style of universe building.

        I mean if you count every piece of media like that I imagine someone like Marvel or DC would beat them just due to comic books and the fact they’ve been around a lot longer.

    Ok, ok, but what other memes deserve it more? Where’s my generations’ full-length Candy Mountain movie, huh?

        True, unlike Skibidi, you can’t improve on perfection, even with Micheal Bay explosions.

        But I’d still like the trailer: “Chaaaarlie, let’s go to Candy Mountain, chaaaarlie”

    well to be fair it’s right up Michael Bay’s ally. The plot of Skibidi Toilet is essentially Toilets vs Cameras kill each other, one side wins, thumbs up to viewer. Other side gets something bigger, wins, thumbs up. other side gets something even bigger, wins, thumbs up. and so on and so on and so on.

      To the best of my knowledge:

      Skibidi Toilet is getting a movie.

      Ben10 despite it’s financially proven track record (per the meme) has not received a feature-length cinematic release.

            Are you absolutely certain that it isn’t a psyop meant to make millennials feel extremely old and mystified about wtf is going on with Gen Z?

            Because after watching the first 40 of those (I tried to watch them all but I just couldn’t), I feel older and more alienated from younger generations than I ever have before 😄

              I watched it all because my 11 year old was going on about it. Turns out I watched more than she had. So, I dunno.

                Well done! As a parent, you probably have a higher pain and confusion threshold than I do tbh 😄

                BTW, which was your favorite character? Mine was the speakers-headed monster because it was the only one that played music I could relate to 😄

                (the 1985 banger Everybody Wants To Rule The World)

                  Oh, it’s been quite a minute since I watched so I don’t remember much about the characters, and since, well, I had to do a hard reset on my brain after watching it.

                  I try to involve myself in what she’s into. We have a really tight bond because of this.

                  We’re both super into Hazbin Hotel. I know she’s technically young for it, but I took the time to make sure she understands the concepts in the show and what it all means.

                Oh, for sure! I didn’t mean to yuck on their yum, just express my own experience and hyperbolic pseudo-hypothesis 😁

              Listen, as someone who watched a ton of SFM and gmod videos, this is the exact same type of humor I (a millennial) enjoyed like 10 years back.

        you know, I knew I was out of touch around the time of fidget spinners, but this is a new level of “get off my lawn” I thought I wouldn’t reach til my 30s
