well there was that time when disney didn't have the complete rights to x-men movies yet so Ike's solution was to ban any new mutant characters, then gas all the x-men to death so they could be replaced by inhumans

that's true. everyone loves the multi-snyder cinematicverse snydercuts and fish-guy 2: fish returns and uh guy who runs really fast, and a black guy called adam

they've been coasting on Brand! movies lately tho like air jordans, cheetos, barbie, elvis

e: went to look at the past few years and hell, that's dire. no way they last to 2030 at this rate that its being dismantled and only making stupid comic slop that has no audience https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Warner_Bros._films_(2020%E2%80%932029) they got lucky that americans fuckin' love engaging with brands. they should shutdown the DC snyderverse extended cinematic universe and just make only Brand! movies for now on until heat death of the universe

Barring the release of the infamous director's cut, the Snyderverse has been completely finished since at least 2016, those movies are WB's pathetic attempts to "course-correct"!

i thought that may be contentious but i would say elvis is a brand in the same way The Beetles are a brand and not a band. it is something that has transcended individuality, an artist, into a sort of Consumable Brand via reproduction and consumption in the eikonosphere sense.

quote:

Mass reproduction may destroy the old aura by revoking singularity; but it may also create a new aura, whose gravitational force is derived directly from mass reproduction. The aura hasn’t elapsed; it has simply redistributed its force about the opposite extreme. Now the most reproduced is the most real, and the singular is the statistically insignificant, the politically inconsequential, the illegible-because-incomparable. And this, the cultural dream-life in which move and act the most reproduced and common images, is what I want to call the Eikonosphere.
...
The privileging of scientific, rational-empirical truth over all other forms of reality is a particular necessary in the creation of a worldwide Eikonosphere, because so much of its content must be reproduced. Only a statistically-minded people is capable of taking reproductions for their originals, of smoothing out the differences between the two by appealing to averages and reduction of error, and of eventually dispensing with the original altogether. Were we still traditionally religious, and possessed of the attendant focus on qualitas and quidditas, the specific, singular, and irreducible (as it reflects back, in a Judeo-Christian schematic, from the individual soul to the godhead) we would be incapable of such a contortion.

What, then, are the contents of the Eikonosphere, the Eikons themselves? Generally, they are composed of any image, sound, idea, personality (not “person”), etc. which has been massively reproduced and draws its value from the fact of reproduction; which has assumed an importance out of all proportion to its actuality; and which has come to occupy a psychic or imaginal position irreducible to its practical significance. (I use the word “imginal,” i.e. “located in the imagination,” as distinct from “imaginary” and its implication of untruth.)
it's the difference between say an John Brown biopic: one doesn't capital-c "Consume" John Brown the one one consumes Elvis

Essentially. His early movies (I don't know about recent as I've not seen them) were standard, competently made mediocre movies that all had opening scenes like a well done music video. Dawn of the dead and Watchmen come to mind.

It really depends on the era. The first doctor was a bit of a kindly grandpa rear end in a top hat, 2nd doctor was much nicer and that carried through the 5th doctor. I haven't watched any 6th but that doctor is supposed to be an awful dick. 7th doctor was back to fun, nice, but a but of an rear end in a top hat.

The audio I listened to was my first exposure to the 6th doctor and just a dreadful doctor in it.
