The Adult’s Guide to Childhood Culture: How Is Loki Still Alive?
The internet was crazy last week. There were wild pants, wild boxing matches, and violent criminals on YouTube, so let’s dive deeper. Oh, and Loki is alive again.
Wardrobe malfunctions last week: plutocrats suffer from trousers
It’s been a big week for pants troubles online, starting with the quirky look of former President Donald Trump’s pants. The former most powerful man on earth performed at a Republican event in North Carolina in such weird-looking pants , internet pranksters began to wonder if he was hiding an adult diaper or had his tailor killed. But the most popular theory was that Trump wore his pants backwards, perhaps in homage to the 1990s Criss Cross.
Unfortunately, the rumors are probably not true. According to the Internet – the center of fact-checking on Snopes.com site , “photographs taken at the event and published by Getty Images, it is clear that the former president is on the scene in the pants with zipper in the front.”
It does kill the hype, but it’s still funny how supporters defend the former president by saying, “See? He really knows the fly is ahead. “
The second internet flop of the week on pants featured Adam Aron, CEO of AMC, who didn’t seem to be wearing pants at all during a recent video interview . During an appearance on Trey Collins’ YouTube show, Aaron’s webcam appears to be lowered, giving a glimpse of underneath his neat shirt and tie, exposing the dude’s bare, old-white legs. It is still unknown if Aaron was wearing tiny shorts, underwear, or nothing at all, and so far the CEO declined to comment.
Personally, I believe the “accidental” webcam drop was calculated to bring even more Internet attention to AMC. Aaron is very enthusiastic about the recent cash flow to his company, and what better way than becoming a meme yourself?
Last week in meme sports: Logan Paul vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
YouTube celebrity Logan Paul stepped into the ring with former undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. this week, earning $ 20 million in eight rounds in an exhibition match. Despite the fact that Paul outweighed Mayweather by 40 pounds and was almost two decades younger than him, the match ended in a draw, as there were no judges, no points, and no one was knocked out.
Mayweather, who reportedly took home $ 100 million for the “fight,” maintains his undefeated record, although it remains open to question how much of his legacy as a great boxer remains intact.
Boxing has a long history of ridiculous showbiz fights – Muhammad Ali versus Japanese pro wrestler Antonio Inoki, Rocky Balboa versusClubber Lang – but this one is notable for its sheer scale (over a million people broadcast pay-per-view fights, presumably hoping to see Paul knocked out) ) and blatant cynicism. Nobody even tries to pretend it was nothing more than a money grab. Mayweather summed it up best in a post- fight interview when he said, “They say, ‘It’s not all about the money.’ Well, your kids can’t eat the legacy … Only the patches on my chests [brought me] $ 30 million. “
“When it comes to legalized bank robbery, I’m the best,” he added.
This Week Live: Loki Comes To Disney +
Marvel and Disney continue their frontal assault on all entertainment with the release of Loki , the MCU series in which the deceiving god of the title teamed up with a group of metaphysical cops to capture a temporary criminal who disrupts the universe’s timeline.
Loki’s lofty concept – years ago, unnamed gods created a well-armed, omnipotent bureaucracy to punish anyone who changes the central timeline – helps explain how a character who died a few films ago returned, and the light tone is perfect for Loki. … I’m not even a fan of superhero movies, but watching the unpredictable deceiver Loki confront the banal oppression of power bureaucracy makes television great. It’s like going to DMV armed with the Infinity Stone.
