Since the Rugrats reboot came out, there's been a noticeable pushback against revivals in general, and most people hate them for purely existing at all. Although it seemed that caused a pendulum shift, some revivals like Beavis and Butt-Head did get praise, but I noticed since Futurama and PnF came back, there's been more vocal backlash against it, and that has only accelerated with Regular Show returning.

It feels like unless it's SpongeBob or Family Guy, people are tired of old shows in general and don't want any old show to return. Could this cause a sea change where revivals become "deader than disco"?

this is the shittiest the weather has been in Manchester since 2019-2020. except a few warm days, I can’t think of one day this year where the weather hasn’t been shitty.

i know it has a reputation for being a rainy city, but it never used to be this bad. I don’t think we’re ever going to have a proper summer, because it’s just going to be shitty every day.

Much of the media emerging in the early 2020s could easily have belonged to the early 2010s, sharing the same carefree, hopeful, and optimistic sensibilities that defined that earlier era (even the R rated comedies coming out had this), though much of it was heavily IP-driven. Several franchises that had already seen revivals in the early 2010s resurfaced once again (Beavis and Butt-Head, Scream, Futurama), and “recession pop” was experiencing a resurgence.

Yet, this attempt to recapture the early 2010s didn’t fully resonate. The general public mood no longer matched the culture of that period, and the timing may have been slightly premature. By contrast, today’s cultural climate is far edgier, though audiences had been gradually gravitating toward more cynical content even in the early 2020s, a trend that only fully gained momentum around 2024.

Nearly every day this year, it's been raining HEAVILY in Manchester on almost any day that it isn't warm, and today we have ANOTHE Rthunderstorm. And even when it's warm, it's shortlived. I can't think of any other year besides 2019, when it was raining this badly. And it's getting worse and worse. We don't have one single day of normal weather anymore.

At this point, it's worse than Seattle. I don't think we're ever gonna have a summer this year.

More of the shitty weather we've had since 2017. Yay!
