It's your typical 90s Oscar bait trash. The reason it's remembered to fondly is most likely because it was the breakout film for both Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

To be fair a lot of the cliches in it are cliches because they were in it

There's a mall called "Nakano Broadway" in Nakano prefecture in Tokyo. There are little sections where you can see these very types of glass display cases, but it was for people that would rent them and display this kind of crap for reselling. Not my kind of hobby, and that really set me on that particular judgment about why.

I'm surprised that Funko Pops are still popular. Then again maybe I shouldn't.

Is it just me or does Aaron Sorkin talking about poptarts says a lot about his politics?

I've got about 20 amiibo and thought I was bad. Funko pops are trash visually, so this person has a serious problem. They have a bloody porg model?

It is capitalism incarnate, everyone's different forms of (pop) culture in totem form, all conforming to and made palatable by the long ago created "successful" mold that itself is itemized for maximum profit.

I got given one of those once as a gift in a secret santa, possibly as a joke. It was a super mutant from Fallout for some reason. I eventually tossed it out because I'm not really into overt displays of fandom and it was a dumb, little, misshapen thing. I had no idea people seriously collected these things and certainly had no grasp of just how huge and varied the range is.

That man is sick and needs help.

As the legend goes, at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, the owner's son wanted some snacks for him and his friends, so the owner took some chicken wings, fried them, and doused them in a sauce that was a mix of Frank's Red Hot and melted butter. Frank's in and of itself isn't a hot wing sauce, although they do sell a bottled variety that's thicker and tangier (it has "butter flavoring," and xanthan gum as a thickener) and is labeled as Frank's Wing Sauce. Honestly I prefer to roll my own.

The pop aesthetic is fine and a lot of them it's the only available form of merch or at least the most affordable

Like I have John Wick, MST3K and Ferris Bueller pops, good luck finding other merch for those things!

I also have RoboCop gently caress the haters

The part that really told me he has a problem is that the number of Funkopops a reasonable person might own is vastly outnumbered just by the number of photos it takes to document his collection.

Nah they are terrible just because you convinced yourself they aren’t doesn’t change objective reality. Sorry for your loss.
