      I know it's problematic to give credit for anime tropes to US media but seriously isn't THE LAST STARFIGHTER clearly the original isekaihttps://twitter.com/Nymphomachy/status/1261804765413064705 …

      That's definitely a part of the power fantasy This idea that "someday, the fact that you're a piece of shit who sits in their room playing video games all day and has never done a decent thing for anyone will make you a prince among men" https://twitter.com/trickyc66/status/1261804037097152512 …

      It's not the same thing because the Yankee was a cool successful guy in his own world before the portal

      Hm, yeah - that "guy who has skills that are useless in the present, but super-valuable in an unlikely alternate world" trope?

      The whole thing about THE LAST STARFIGHTER is like a *parody* of A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT The former is Twain making a point about technological progress, that a clever ordinary man from the present could use simple tech to conquer great kingdoms of the past

      THE LAST STARFIGHTER takes this basic idea but makes it totally fucking ridiculous This unemployed random guy from our world is the last best hope of this massive incomprehensibly advanced civilization because of his one skill which is playing this one arcade game

      You could argue it says something about our time that this inherently and intentionally ridiculous premise, which the movie did as this self-aware joke, is now this whole big thing a whole generation is obsessed with

          Like READY PLAYER ONE was THE LAST STARFIGHTER jumping the shark and ARMADA was it doing loop-de-loops around the shark's whole confused family

          God, Ready Player One is in so deep. It doesn't even happen by random chance or freakish coincidence that 80s movie knowledge is vitally important. It's like the premise to the whole thing: Everyone in the world knows that.
