I’ve been told (by a zoomer) all the zoomer love for the series is ironic. Do you think that’s true?
I'm a zoomer. As far as I'm concerned, this series is none of our business. That's gen alpha territory.
Every new generation has some cultural element that's valued simply because it confounds old and out-of-touch people.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Zoomers only pretend to like it ironically, but I think underneath that there's always going to be at least some genuine interest. The exact same thing happened with Bronies a decade ago: started as a meme, then grew into its entirely own subculture, distinct from both weebs and furries.
From what I've gathered, Gen Alpha seems to be a lot more into it than Zoomers though.
Personally, I actually really enjoy the series. I was drawn in by the surrealist and absurdist humor that I'd known from other SFM artists like anonym00se, and then stayed for the surprisingly engaging story. It's actually pretty entertaining, and I think it's actually a great case study in visual storytelling, because with only one or two exceptions, it's presented entirely without dialogue or wordy exposition.
I agree that it was surprisingly engaging, but I still don't think it was all that great. The plot is pretty much just an arms race between cyborg armies. The new abilities each side develops keep it interesting, but not enough that I'd go back and watch more. In my opinion, Animator vs Animation is a far better example of visual storytelling, with a more anime and less visceral style of action.
It's a fun ride, that's all I really care about.
Thanks, maybe I’ll give it a try. I jumped on the brony bandwagon years ago (though I’ve let that go now) so I’m keen to give the new things a fair shot.
I actually was a Brony as well for a bit. Funnily enough, I got into it basically the same way: saw the memes, wanted to see what the hype was about, found it surprisingly enjoyable.
I've since tried to go back and re-watch FiM (I stopped sometime after the release of the movie) but found my tastes had changed and it was a bit too saccharine for me. The same thing happened when I went to re-watch ATLA, despite having enjoyed it as a kid during its broadcast run.
Same. I still like the characters and the personalities the fandom built around them, but the show hits different now. That’s why I like shows like Adventure Time and Steven Universe because they already had a more “mature kid” kind of spin, less black and white morality, even though they still tended to make enemies friends in the end.
