The AMC effect is when AMC will produce an original show, it will get praised but eventually lose relevancy, and then at least a decade later it will get a resurgence in popularity online. The new fans of the show will usually completely miss the message that the show was trying to tell.
The AMC effect:
Walter White is idolized as a big strong manly hero, and his wife as seen as an annoying bitch becaue she's reluctant on Walt cooking meth, even though the point of breaking bad was to criticize traditional masculinity, this is especially clear with "The Fridge Scene"
on TIkTok, there was a video captioned "Dad my pronouns are-" and the video below it was The Walking Deads Rick Grimes making a vague bodily threat, it gained thousands of views. it was lost on the creator that the show as well as the myriad of spinoffs and multimedia extentions of the original comic book have tons of queer characters.
