palusbuteoAbout the most idiotic "fight match" in recent history
Musk vs Zucks in a Caged Fight, if it actually happens, is going to be so utterly pathetic and embarrassing and underwhelming.....And honestly I have to admit my guess is that Musk would "win"
But anyway that's not my primary thought now about this whole....thing.
I'm thinking this is nothing but a Marketing Ploy inspired by the Taylor Swift phenomenon.
In that Musk & Zuchs are making it sound like they're serious in wanting to fight each other for realsies, only for the express purpose of getting ratings to bump up on their platforms
and
to rake in money through ticket sales like ticketmaster and then pull out at the last minute, but they keep the money because why would they even conceive of offering a refund, because, they're fucking Musk and Zucks. They only care about money, a shit-ton of money.
Ok, and, yeah, power of influence over their diehard followers and cultists.
...But that power translates into money in their pockets, etc.
They're not actually ever going to fight each other.
I'm also now just remembering thinking about this dumbass stunt, the "Celebrity Deathmatch" series by what becomes RobotChicken. But that's a thing that hasn't been a pop culture thing in like 20 years.
Young Adults today won't get it. They've been spoon-fed CGI effects and now AI/VR like it's morning coffee for so long they won't understand why the stop-motionfigurines look weird and move weird.
(assuming the majority of the cultists are 20-40 year old white neckbeard men basement dwellers)
....Hmmm....No....Now I'm not so sure of my own comment there. These guys would be so used to jerky movement and bad clipping and textures in VR characters in VRChat, and VTuber and Uwu E-Girls , maybe they'd see no difference between that and stop-motion animation.
