Caulfield is 16 in 1949/1948, he was born in 1933. today he would be 89 years old

He probably has in innate god given belief that the city is evil, which is why he dreams of just doing a job in a rural area. But he's a guy who doesn't want a system in place to keep people safe but wants a system to allow himself to choose who he wants to save.

He want is to save kids playing near a cliff, and if they fall off, he wants to catch them. God Forbid somebody puts a fence. He would be okay with letting one kid die here or there if he finds them deplorable.

But God isn't mentioned. The war isn't mentioned. He probably just instinctively hates the government without any really knowledge. The guy want's a complete break from the past. No history at all.

He's BOY from William Butler Yeats's Purgatory.

If Caulfield was in his 20 to 30 now, he would be Libertarian, Bitcoin guy, who thinks he is in on the scam pumping out tweet after tweet, meme after meme.

Doug probably left for college. If he didn't end up in some sort of art drawing thing, he would have been in a college band like modest mouse or something. Then some desk job.


Edit: Graphic Designer! He would be making stuff for websites .

Imo Disney animated shows were generally lovely and nickelodeon veered between awesome/funny and annoying/dorky, which I know is true for most cartoons but man there was no middle ground on that network for me when I was a kid

Cartoon Network was the poo poo

I actually had to go verify because I couldn't believe it was doing that well. If anything, the low opening probably helped it out. It's getting by because similar to something like Avatar it has a massive tail and it doesn't seem to really be leveling off just yet. Every superhero type fare will hit 45 days and have reached 90% of its total but t this point it's ceiling probably depends on how long they keep it in theaters. 13 weeks into its run and still being number 4 at the weekend box office (and number 2 the previous week) is insane.

probably because top gun is a good popcorn flick on its own merits and doesn't require a massive time buy in to care about the current superhero movie arcs

i mean have you seen the options for movies that are in theaters right now? they're bad. I think it's just that it's summer and people are simply picking the least bad/only good option for a movie to watch

yeah this seems like a mounting problem for the MCU. as someone who has about 10% exposure to the franchise, i even found parts of wandavision to be impenatrable. even if i were MCU-curious, i'd find any new entry too daunting to bother with
