Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’re here for laughs, not fights.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden FormatsNot every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

"But I loved it as a child"

Yeah, so did I. But children aren't commonly known for having the greatest standards.

Yes, but they are also the target audience, and they hold up pretty well as a decent adaptation. Not disagreeing on the mid writing, just adding my $0.02

The target audience is mainly comprised of millenials by now, I think.

Let people enjoy their pirated content, willya?

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah. I'm not gonna pay for it, but I'll have it in the background on a free site when I'm making dinner, when it comes out.

Just wanted to share something that's not stated often enough.

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

Here, more than often enough.

Harry Potter was the Mr Beast of Millennial kids.

They've put out a documentary about the making of this series. Everything looks the same as it did in the movies. They've just swapped out the actors. Mostly for worse.

Serve the generation with the disposable income their nostalgia slop. No artistic deviation - only purest nostalgia.

Even Square Enix uas taking more risks with the FFVII remakes.
