TheGoonchWhat franchises do you consider part of the "pillars" of popular culture?
I’d add game of Thrones. It was a cultural phenomenon when it came out. Oh, and the Simpsons.
Thrones is fading fast. It will be gone in ten years. Unlike Lord of the Rings, there’s no new generation watching it.
Yeah, I think it will be like “Dallas”. It will be really big for one generation.
Not even one generation, the entire runtime is not even 10 years, and you’d have to be in a rather small age bracket to get the full brunt of the “cultural” impact. My parents’ generation watched it, but it wasn’t really all that different from everything else for them.
It’s actually super interesting to see the fall of GoT. It fell into oblivion almost immediately after the last season finished.
WhiteOakBayouIt’s really wild. Even in my own life we watched each of the first six seasons over and over while waiting for new ones. By the end of it I felt no need. I barely remember how it ended and have no desire to watch it. Kind of sucks, I think I’m right in that age bracket that it was a big deal for. No lasting impact. Like Avatar
