    Except we invaded Iraq with years of preparation and a decade-long no-fly zone to chip away at them. We are going into this one with a pants around our ankles.

      It’s gonna be another Iraq/Afghanistan because it’s meant to be. Oil, military industrial complex, oil, conservatives know and are ok with an oil invasion. I live in KY. Trump can do no wrong in the moron belt.

    20 year retro rule strikes again.

    RIP 90s retro, you didn’t even get to exist because of the fucking 80s overstaying their already tired ass dead eyed bullshit

      90s just never really left.

      TV wise, providers still fight hard for Friends and Seinfeld. I still see teenagers slapping on Nirvana shirts. My clothes from back then still fit and are intact and a kid at my kids school asked me where I got my clothes because they wanted some just like them.

          Well, they didn’t fit for many years and then I lost a bunch of weight and could wear them again, so they just mostly survived a closet…

        OK, but no more than stuff from other decades. Are you really claiming that there have been waves of retro focused content to the same degree as 80s dance parties, 80s aesthetic revival games and music, etc for the 90s? Kool and the Gang’s “celebration” is in every animated film and advert, it doesn’t mean the 70s retro scene is a cultural tour de force that is going strong and infiltrating every cultural touchstone. (god fucking damnit, that song came out in 1980 IDFK, provide your own example of an overused 70s song)

    How would you reboot MITM?

    Is everyone old or you just recast everyone? Either way I can’t see it working. That or they use AI which would also be terrible.

      “Almost 20 years after the end of the original series, Malcolm now lives a happy life with his daughter Leah and girlfriend Tristan, having distanced himself from his birth family. He is forced to bring them into the family’s chaos when his parents Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.” source

    So, corporate is relying on AI for creativity and as such, the only option remaining is to reboot old successes.
