Disney park videos can be fun to watch, but no way if I'm going there ever. And I bet most people are like that, even though the park seems to be fucking packed year round.
If you think of it as a magic sigil and not a banner, then the movement of people across it charges the spell.
It certainly goes a long way to explaining why some people will advertise how much money they sink into these brand items.
I know Activision likes to make in-game Call of Duty merch for their most popular streamers. They get more players and make more sales, and the streamers get a cut of it. It's a win-win. Something like that might work for Disneyland with the right personality but I think these social media socialites are by and large leeching off of the Disney brand for popularity and don't really possess marketable personalities on their own. I know they sort of tried it with the Pauls but it blew up in their faces with the suicide forest incident.
Even before the forest incident, it was way way retarded to invest in them. It was a tikking bomb just waiting.
It was also much much easier to sneak into the theaters back then, especially if you had a friend who worked in the projector booth or something.

Couldn't expect less from the wojak template man himself.
Shit like this is what every kid would've wanted before the 00's, now it just feels late unless you're Amish and it's the first time seeing a transformer or the kid is fucking loaded. But there are model kits that are about a quarter of that price and it'll be a fun passion project. Point is for about $1,700 you can either get a fucking toy robot or a bunch of model kits, airbrush, paint, and materials for a diorama.
All of the transformer line of toys that exist outside of basic Walmart kid's isle stuff is made exclusively for adult consoomers. Particularly when they make them in smaller runs they can milk the whales for a lot.
If I ever fall so low that I want a shroomjak/wojak/soyak/whateveryak t-shirt or phone case, I will singlehandedly download the png from the internet and then take it to my local copy shop which does t-shirts and marketing gadgets, so that I can at least support the local economy instead of some proxy for a chinese sweatshop. And it's going to cost less.Speaking of wojaks.
Must... consoom...shroomjak
Alec Guinness was prescient about this:
"In his thirties, living in a fantasy world of secondhand, childish banalities" pretty much sums up the subjects of the thread. Of course, when this is mentioned, the fact that he was motivated by the boy's welfare is left out, and dumb journos just say "Stuffy old Sir Alec hated Star Wars". The boy himself turned up elsewhere and said that Alec's advice had a salutary effect, as intended.
buying it from some chinese fuckover website is the shame tax
This is very dystopian
ive always wondered if funkos are ever announced in any way
This is one of the websites where you have auto-generated products which are only made if someone orders them. That's why the sticker costs $5, because if you order a single one someone has to print it just for you. Some of them don't even scan the trendy images, instead they scrape Twitter and other social media for phrases like "wow i'd love to have this on a t-shirt/mug/strings". Then they generate a new product lineup with that scraped image and reply/message you with the link hoping that you will buy it.
People think it's the flag of the American Empire, but why the hell is Venezuela waving it, was there a regime change that I didn't notice?
And we need a little piece of consooming with the Barbie movie too
How do you even consoom Indiana Jones, there's very little extra media to the films besides some comics, novels, a few video games, and the usually action figures. I know that sounds like a lot but compared to a lot of IPs Indiana Jones is pretty bare.
Theres some mentally broken zoomer who saw some Marvel capeshit movie 100+ times down in Florida.
