it reminds me of the Quantum Mechanics of Indy Rock from the Questionable Content webcomic. the less people that have heard of a band the better they are, so therefore the perfect band can't exist because it would mean that no one has ever heard of them even the musicians that make up the band.
because everyone knows that popular things aren't cool lol
I will never understand why something loses it's coolness as more people like it. I get the idea that people who like something because others do or because they believe it gives them a status boost are pretentious tools, but if something is actually cool, then it should remain such regardless of how many people like it.
Your favorite song became popular and now you're hearing that song on the radio/mtv 800 times a day because it became popular. It will drive you bonkers and you'll end up hating it and the people who love it.
And what exactly did Boba Fett do? He pretty much stood around looking badass before he ended up falling into a Sarlacc because Han Solo hit his jetpack with a Vibroblade. ON ACCIDENT.
Yeah, real Badass.
Also, Expanded Universe does not count in this equation. If you do count Expanded Universe his badassidy is a bit justified. A BIT.
Either way, Boba Fett is proof that it doesn't matter what you actually do, it's just how badass you look doing it that makes everyone think you're cool.
...and I remember saying the same thing (having the same complaint) back in 1996. -It's all relative. It made more sense then, at least. Still douchey though. -Dudge, people have loved The Fett for a LONG time. How young was he?, I wonder...
Yeah cos nobody had heard of him in 2007.
ReplyDeleteI'm more of a Jango man as nobody likes him which must mean he's cool.

Pfft, everyone has always loved the Fett. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd he probably wasn't even born when the movies came out *facepalm*

ReplyDeleteIsa gonna get a Jar Jar sweatshirt. Nobody likes Jar Jar, so he must be the coolest!
ReplyDeleteQ: How many hipsters does it take to change a lightblub?
ReplyDeleteA: Some obscure number you've probably never heard of.
Everything changed when Boba won the Academy Award.
ReplyDeleteFavorite band/song is a perfect example.

Why is Boba Fett so cool? Because under that helmet he's Barney the Dinosaur.
ReplyDeleteHe's Jeremy Bulloch, and imdb never mentions some
ReplyDeletebad porno he once made, or that he's hung like a bull.
