I was never really into the Simpsons but I also hate when Cartoons use "random internet trends" or a "superficial social problem" as the premise for a plot.
I didn't have a smart phone or social media until college. I'm glad everyday that I missed the bullet of mass-tech interrupting my formative younger years.
I've found a noticeable intelligence gap or lack of interpersonal skills between young people who passively consumed internet Brain Rot and those who touch grass, stay social, and read.
What really sucks is that these are huge corporate technologies NOT grassroots youth movements or personal expressions. And yet, the Technocrats have spun the narrative that by not engaging with their product you're too old or out of the loop.
Handcrafted and DYI Art will always be evergreen in my book. Leave your MEMES at the door!
I do think that Gumball is one cartoon that's able to satirize current events better than any other.

They really nailed the Star Wars fandom:

As always, very clever thought, Tito.
And no argument using Gumball as a reference can be wrong.
I was rereading Polar: The Kaiser Falls and I noticed how the final confrontation is described as "Jungian."
I'd love to know your creative process in regards to archetypes, the monomyth, etc...
I've studied the Joseph Campbel and Carl Jung ideas and I feel that they have noticeably improved my writing.
However, there is a TON of misinformation and nonsense on the internet (which ruins everything) in regards to these subjects.
I'm just curious how other professionals approach these ideas.
