It’s funny how much survivorship bias we have. Movies, Music, Games. It’s so easy to forget how bad some previous stuff was.
Comment on Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape

Nah fam – go look at the movies that came out in 92 or 94. They were all absolute masterpieces we still about. There’s definitely a filter of time but there’s a reason for the precedent.

I’d love to see a scientific study that shows this, if the effect really does exist.

The complete lack of Hollywood creativity? You’re trying to use science to prove art. Just look at the releases that came out those years.

It’s like nostalgia blinders.
An example a lot of people here can relate to is thinking about game consoles and handhelds they played growing up like the GBA.
There were likely some great games produced for it but there was also a lot of shovelware movie tie-ins and horrendous ports that were misrepresented in advertisements.
