what is the term for media that is entirely reliant on referencing past media for it's appeal?
Can this be called 'fan service' or is that term exclusive for showing panties in anime?
Is there a term for this practice in western media?

the old games used the retro-futuristic stuff as a background world building thing but didn't lean into it
everything Bethesda has done with the series has been entirely reliant on having a tone of melancholic nostalgia for the old 50s-retro style of the pre-war
without that element what makes it unique to any other post apocalyptic media
the 1950s in the 2070s schtick is pretty important tbh
this show has terrible production value and hardly any of the props/settings look like any effort was put into them
>this show has terrible production value and hardly any of the props/settings look like any effort was put into them
you could tell that from the first clip they released, all the guns looked plastic and spray painted, and the power armor looks like 3D printed cosplay
Are you actually brain damaged?
>this show has terrible production value and hardly any of the props/settings look like any effort was put into them
That's every sci-fi/fantasy movie and show now
this game doesnt even "reference" the material right, it was written by AI
all the songs are in the games

A sequel
thats not what I mean and you know it you gay
so you just ask questions fishing for the answer you wanted?
you're a gay and I hope you don't ever get the answer you want, you don't deserved to have your hot takes validated
"nostalgia consumption" maybe
I think I heard a better term once but I can't remember right now
>what is the term for media that is entirely reliant on referencing past media for it's appeal?
pop-reference
it's the reason most franchised sequels are fricking trash... if you can't write a story / dialogue without any popular references you can't write. you now live in a time and place where Didn't Earn It writers, actors, directors fill the broadcast media space.
due to the law of large numbers and open borders you can't solve this problem without massive bloodshed, or massive uprooting and transplantation of the core members of society (the white ones descended from the pilgrims, pioneers, and settlers).
otherwise we're just paying "jews" from Hollywood to mass produce goyslop that below 100 IQ brownoids are perfectly willing to slurp from the troughs

You’re fricking insane.
>You’re fricking insane.
You saying that just proves I'm the only sane person left and everyone else are the actual insane ones.
Maybe you had a better solution than white genocide via death-by-1000-cuts of illegal immigrants because of globalists/zionists... I bet you don't. I bet you're a homosexual.
Jesus Christ Black person you’ve been pulling this shit for days. Are they at least paying you?
whats the term for making ten threads an hour about something no one is watching or interested in?
>entirely reliant on referencing past media for it's appeal
the concept is older than hollywood.
its only been the norm for the past 15 years or so
tv shows, movies are literally devoid of any actual writing for a story
the writing is there to serve as a foundation to shoe horn references from the original media so people can have a nostalgic or comforting feeling from seeing it repeated
>its only been the norm for the past 15 years or so
not really
video game movies has been a thing since the 90s
>its only been the norm for the past 15 years or so
People used to tell the story of the Epic of Gilgamesh before writing was invented. The fact we know the Epic of Gilgamesh is proof it's been the norm since human beings could write shit down...
Frick New Vegas. I’m so happy Bethesda was spiteful enough to destroy and retcon everything about it.
I hated New Vegas, you spend like 20 hours wandering through the poopoo dirt desert expecting Vegas to be the big shiny city and then you get to Vegas and there's only 3 casinos and it's no bigger than the average Bethesda town
>what is the term for media that is entirely reliant on referencing past media for it's appeal?
Creatively bankrupt?
>Fallout new vegas mr house: I was able to almost accurately predict a nuclear war and I have set the pieces for my rise to power after I come back online
>TV show Mr House: Shiieeeeeet I ain't reading allat I'm just gonna pretend I read this
It’s all so tiresome
>predict a nuclear war
>100% accurate because you started it
I haven't touched FO3 since it was new but was this asspull in the game too? I honestly don't remember.
Why wasn’t it set in Denver? Legion guy Legate Lanius mentions it was a tough battle for the Legion iirc. So you have an established faction for the fans, while also being able to have tons of original content to avoid pissing off lore nerds. The only canon thing about the area is that the Legion took Denver at some point. Could have had a rebel story, a darker story about acceptance, and/or a story about life in the Legion
Denver Hounds are also canon, Ulysses mentions them. Zombie apocalypse but with feral ghoul-dogs would be kino
They could have also incorporated stuff about the new plague and heckin chuds who don't trust the science and won't mask. These writers are dumb as frick. They should’ve hired me instead.
I think the part that annoyed me the most about episode 1 was when she looked to the vault boy poster to gather some kind of confidence to leave.
We get it, the fricking thumbs up guy is iconic, you don't need a fricking seminal moment where the character solemnly looks at the poster before she makes her big life decision.
Stupid.
This post made me go to this got me to go look at /r/television the mecca of goyslop enjoyers. its hilarious to see all of them like it and say "wow this is great show I almost came"
South Park coined the term "Memberberries" precisely because there is no single term for what is effectively nostalgia bait.
They used this as a joke for the episode of course, but the concept probably does need a semi-academic sounding catchy term that's kind of catchy.
I dunno, "Referential Reverance?" "Referance?"
