picture of handwritten note taped to a window that criticizes Gen Z and praises Baby Boomers.
I’m not the brightest cookie in the toolshed but I know bait when I see it.
Edit: The top left hand corner of this is also dated 4/20. As the Brits would say “Someone’s taking the piss.”
Yes, that’s the biggest and probably most valid criticism not tied to the film’s writing or acting. It’s pure white savior narrative. Same issue with Last of the Mohicans and a bunch of other movies.
Gen X is the new Silent Generation because everyone forgot they even fucking existed. I remember when you guys were supposed to burn down cities and bring about full anarchy in the United States because you enjoyed grunge music and flannel. Turns out all of you were just chewed up and spit out by capitalism like the rest of us.
Seems likely. I’ve seen plenty of people say “Oh, this old-ass Boomer thinks [whatever shitty opinion here].” And this is in direct reference to people in their late forties/early fifties. And if you correct them and say “that person is Gen X - they’re the child of Baby Boomers,” they’ll pivot to “well, Boomer is a mindset, not age group.” But it does seem more likely to be an insult for old people or people who appear to be out of touch in some capacity.
It’s also dated 4/20. I’m amazed they didn’t manage to sneak a 69 in there somewhere to get the full meme potential out of it.
