Addendum this image/caption talks about a #PleaNostalgia for what was, which is now no longer; it talks about a privation for a projected future. In this sense, the meme can be interpreted as a type of #TheoryHauntology [commentary] where the idea of loss (as assumed, extrapolated, seemingly an unkept/unmet/unfulfilled 'promise') leads to a sense of discontentment - a #TheoryGrievancePolitics, which is more poignant than the actual image - the nostalgic image - itself. #PleaNostalgiaGoodOlDays [Wikipedia]

Supplementary #WebsiteIdeologyTheoryPractice "mainstream is constructed, contingent, and fluid. We often hear how the 'extreme' is a threat to the 'mainstream', but this is not some objective reality with two fixed actors or positions. They are both contingent in themselves and in relation to one another. In any system, the construction and positioning of the mainstream necessitate the construction of an extreme, which is just as contingent and fluid. These are neither ontological nor historically-fixed phenomena and seeing them as such, which is common, is both uncritical and ahistorical. What is mainstream or extreme at one point in time does not have to be, nor remain, so. The second point is that the mainstream is not essentially good, rational, or moderate. While public discourse in liberal democracies tends to imbue the mainstream or 'centre' with values of reason and moderation, the reality can be quite different as is clearly demonstrated by the simple fact that what is mainstream one day can be reviled, as well as exceptionalised and externalised, as extreme the next, and vice versa."

Supplementary #MagazineUKFilmStoriesAJBlack "Perhaps a reason why comic-book heroism took hold across the 2010s was not just about how Marvel married traditional comic-book movie structures with must-see episodic television, but also our own growing awareness that the structures said heroes have long protected are decaying in western society. Captain America learns that HYDRA has corrupted SHIELD, that bastions of American freedom have been infiltrated by fascist extremists. Thanos seeks ultimate population control as a means of balancing resources. So many of these films speak not just to disrupters with arch plans but how they expose the frailty of government or democratic systems in their disruption, sometimes even working within them. This also could explain the 'lone hero' trope that has taken hold in recent years to a more intense degree. McClane, John Matrix, John Rambo were all lone heroes, but as an audience, you never doubted they would prevail. They existed within a cathartic, controlled and safe geopolitical sandbox either during the end of the Cold War or the unipolar security of the United States. After 9/11, it all started to change. Jason Bourne realised his own government, with its mass surveillance, was an Orwellian nightmare. James Bond returned to a complex world where CIA agents worked with brokers to help dictators as part of a scheme to control the supply of a natural resource (as we saw in Quantum Of Solace as an example). And Ethan Hunt steadily became, even within his own storytelling, 'a living manifestation of destiny' as one character describes him" (28 November 2024). https://filmstories.co.uk/features/what-exactly-is-the-modern-cinematic-hero-fighting-for/ #PleaAWorldOfSimpleStableFixedOperations #BrandMarvel #BrandMarvelCinematicUniverseMCUCaptainAmerica #BrandMarvelHydra [Wikipedia] #BrandMarvelSHIELD [Wikipedia]. #BrandMarvelCinematicUniverseMCUThanos #FictionalCharacterJohnMcClane of #1988_DieHard etc. #FictionalCharacterJohnRambo #FictionalCharacterJohnMatrix of #1985_Commando #TheoryPsychologyPsychologicalPurgationCatharsis [Wikipedia] #PhenomnIdeologicallyMotivatedViolentExtremismIMVE #PoliticsCommunismColdWar #2001_September11Attacks911 #2016_JasonBourne #IRLAuthorGeorgeOrwell #FictionalCharacter007JamesBond #OrgUSFedCIA #2008_QuantumOfSolace #FictionalCharacterEthanHunt
