nostalgic

"Nostalgic" is the best adjective to describe the era where the indigenous May-May tribe had once predicted that the apocalypse would happen on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, which was going to coincide with the fasting month of Ramadan. At a later time, it eventually turned out that this D-day is just the end of the calendar of May-May tribe which had spanned for 5590 years, which is akin to the end of the Showa era and the beginning of the Heisei era that occured in Japan back in 1989 — as "apocalypse" is a concept coined by the modern civilization that is completely unknown to the May-May tribe.

It's nostalgic to remember that when I was a kid in the 1980's, I worried that the apocalypse would happen on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991, the day I was going to start high school in Japan — like what the indigenous May-May tribe had predicted. Guess, it now turns out that this D-day is just the end of the calendar of May-May tribe which had spanned for 5590 years, which is akin to the end of the Showa era and the beginning of the Heisei era that occured in Japan back in 1989.

Nostal-Lock

Artificial attachment to the past that franchises carry out of fear of breaking away from what is familiar, ultimately preventing them from creating anything truly new.

“This reboot could’ve been amazing, but the studio kept it in Nostal-Lock to make sure fans ‘felt like the old days’.”
“People think it’s fanservice, but it’s actually Nostal-Lock — the story can’t move forward because it’s chained to its past.”
“The new Star Wars trilogy is a big example of Nostal-Lock — constant callbacks, legacy characters everywhere, and fear of doing anything truly different.”
“Avatar 3 feels trapped in Nostal-Lock — big spectacle, but still afraid to move beyond the first movie’s formula.”
“Victory Road breaks the Nostal-Lock by building a new identity instead of clinging to past nostalgia.”
