All this talk about rampant commercialism reminds me of how Logan and Jake Paul's Christmas songs, with their constant chant of "buy our merch", could have been satire if these people are capable of self awareness.

I don't hate Funko pops as much as some (I have 4 and like them though I also admit the aestetic has the two problems of being so generic that vast amount of the stuff is unrecognizably while others things do not work in the style at all) but to have that many is just weird. Like you're not getting them because you even like the thing they're of, you're just collecting them for the sake of collecting them. Like there's no way he gives a poo poo about even a tenth of the things he has figures for. Also the idea of so many of them being mint in box is hilarious because that bubble could literally burst any second now and once that happens the mintest con exclusive won't be worth half a beanie baby.

I have only bought one funko pop, it's a bobblehead C3PO with the red arm, and it's cute. The thousands of indistinguishable white person with different haircut Funkos, though, I'm not interested.

I have way more Funko pops than I ever intended to buy (which was zero). I think between ladyeye and myself there's maybe 30 in the apartment, but that's mostly because we both have a complete set of one or two lines (for example my power rangers set with an NYCC exclusive)

My three hundred dollar Megazord and two hundred dollar Dredd figures are dumb as hell, I still think they're rad and don't regret buying them tho This doesn't preclude me from thinking that guy is insane tho

Like in addition to the baffling amount of properties they have, they also have barely different variants colors, more elaborate variants, con exclusives and from what I understand at cons they have events that are extremely hard to get tickets to where you can play games to win ones that only exist at that event. It is artificial scarcity that makes Nintendo look amateurish.

Watched The Post today. Too familiar faces in the cast which gets a bit distracting. It's a good film though, just doesn't stack up to Spotlight or All the President's Men.

Yes, it's fine for people to spend a bit to keep the crushing existential dread at bay, and being a millionaire is immoral.
