The best decision The Mandalorian ever made was centering their show around an archetypal masked, taciturn gunslinger who wanders from town to town never putting down roots, and then revealing that he acts that way because he’s a massively awkward introvert who uses that archetype to avoid having to socialize with people beyond the three interaction scripts he already knows. 10/10, top tier characterization, I love seeing this man outshoot a bar full of people and then get scammed by a random mechanic because he’s too polite to confront her about it. Truly a hero of our times.
among us is the latest joke to enter what i call “joke orbit.” it was one of few modern memes that gathered enough force to remain alive throughout the period where everyone fucking hated it for being overdone. and now it’s back to being funny, simply by virtue of its refusal to die. it is a self-propogated meme now. like a satellite stabilizing in the outer edges of the planet’s atmosphere, among us has established itself in our collective subconscious. it’s probably never going to fully die, like how our perception of the shrek movies will never really go back to normal and how we look so fondly on rickrolling
no fuckingf way
