Every shitpost on 4chan is serious, actually.
And every green text is fact checked, triple verified, authentic truth.
It's not a joke. But it's not sincere either.
It's a criticism.
Because yes. People DO want brand tie-ins. Literally look at Fortnite. It peaks in popularity during brand tie-ins.
Not brand tie ins, that's like a coca cola ad on one of the walls. People don't want brands, they want characters and IP... They want crossovers
You couldn't just let me believe that people today are idiots and that I didn't just get wooshed, in peace, could you?
I'm thinking something along the lines of the Minecraft Lego sets for instance. Which, credit where it's due, were pretty cool.
man I was jecking out the toy island recently and i saw a carrera oracle redbull race track right next to one with "non-lego" lego brick buildable cars and the mario kart themed one.
I tell you: one day these crossovers and brand tie ins and market consolidation will lead us to the ultimate mono brand multiverse -> Think of Mario Raving Rabbits in Avenger costumes lego figures as playable characters in fortnite
It might be like saturday morning toy commercials, there's nostalgia attached to it.
