In a quiet moment of intersectionality, I watched the re-imagining
of the legendary Rocky and Bullwinkle
series on Amazon Prime just prior to the opening of Solo. And I realized something about not just the venerable Star
Wars franchise, but also the even more venerable Rocky and Bullwinkle franchise;
in a world where intellectual property is, essentially, immortal, it’s completely
unrealistic to expect that these properties would remain timeless (as opposed
to timely). By extension, there are a lot of people complaining about the movie
(or the TV show) that they didn’t get and wondering implicitly (and explicitly)
why things can’t be like they always have been.
