me watching monsters inc as a kid: how did it take so long for anyone to figure out that human child laughter not only produced energy like screams, but was more effective, and that children aren’t actually dangerous at all?
me watching monsters inc now: monsters incorporated, a multi-billion dollar corporate giant, stood to make extra profits off a scream shortage because low supply with high demand makes it possible to charge a fortune for a necessary commodity and everyone has no choice but to pay the high prices because they can’t go without electricity. Therefore Monsters Inc, as well as any other major powers that may have existed at the start of the era of using scream energy, fabricated the idea that only screams could generate sustainable energy sources in order to create artificial scarcity, because laugh energy was far easier to obtain and far more efficient, and therefore stood to lower the value of energy due to surplus. They also fabricated the idea that human children were toxic, in order to a) make other monsters too afraid to go near them to do research and possibly discover the secret of laugh energy, and b) to make monsters so afraid of going near them that there is a shortage of scarers, making it harder for rival companies to rise up and create competition. Even in the monster world, capitalism is based on lies, greed and cruelty, and even monster companies have no qualms about using and abusing children to maximize profits.
What’s with sociologists/communists using kid’s shows/books/movies for their arguments?
I think you just mixed up sociologist and socialist? lol
and im not, this was literally a random personal post of me sharing my thoughts while watching the movie with the kids i used to nanny for. I expected it to get like 5 pity notes but it took off lol.
though i dont see why it bugs you? if the metaphor works it works, whether it was intended by the creators or not. And it may have been – putting more mature themes and messages into kids movies is common. Everything from subtle dick jokes to elaborate political messages. Happens all the time. yet everyone is so butthurt about it?
You are literally being a Voldemort right now
I have no idea what you’re trying to tell me but this is still 100% the funniest thing anyone has ever said to me. Thank you
