Fabelmans effect

A factor that can be taken into consideration for every Steven Spielberg movie. The fact that every Spielberg film takes some inspiration from his personal life. Once one has seen The Fabelmans (2022), it gives them a different perspective on every Spielberg film.

Of course you have to consider the Fabelmans effect when talking about Close Encounters

Lafazan Effect

When protections for protected classes, including historically discriminated communities, are afforded to historically privileged groups. For instance, Blacks are prosecuted more often for hate crimes than are Whites, when Blacks were intended to be protected against hate crimes. Background: New York Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan introduced a bill that identifies county police as a protected class. Such a bill will have the effect of prosecuting those demanding reforms and changes in a historically biased police force.

Looks like Terryl is getting prosecuted for hate crimes because he called his attacker "white" while defending himself - he's getting the full Lafazan Effect.

The Biz effect

A phenomenon when someone is so obnoxious about a piece of media that it makes it seem unappealing to others, regardless of its actual quality.

This guy is so obnoxious about Ace Combat to the point that others think it's mediocre at best. The Biz Effect make them dislike it.

Seinfeld Effect

The Seinfeld Effect is when a cultural work is so popular that many creators copy or take inspiration from it, making the original style common. As a result, when someone watches the original, it no longer feels special because they’ve already seen it repeated elsewhere.

"When I finally saw the original, it didn’t blow me away like I expected — the Seinfeld Effect had kicked in. I’d already seen so many versions of its ideas that it just felt familiar instead of groundbreaking."
