    Fun fact: The Iron Giant isn't mentioned in the book. It's a 1999 film; all (or at least most) of the novel's totems of geekdom come from earlier eras.https://twitter.com/MOOMANiBE/status/971130108206436352 …

    i duno even on top of everything else it bothers me a lot that Ready Player One's marketing consistently points out The Iron Giant in a big combat scene given that The Iron Giant as a film centered entirely around antiwar themes and roundly condemning mindless violence

        This is not at all a defense of the novel. I'm just curious to see how much the film replaces the older, sometimes more obscure geek totems with ones more viewers will recognize / feel nostalgic affection for.

        And whether or not some viewers will react with things like, "Fuck this movie, I can't believe they took out all the references to Leopardon, the giant robot from the late-70s Japanese TV show Supaidaman!"

        And the one in RPO is clearly the one from the film.

        The point of the 70's & 80's references in the book was that the guy who made the Easter Eggs was autistic and all of them were references to his childhood & teens... >_<

        Yeah. I'm wondering if they're shifting the timeline to make it so that Halliday grew up in the late 80s/early 90s or something.

        I forgot that part -- so yeah, Iron Giant poster doesn't fit either for that reason. And yeah, I fully expect there to be a LOT of iconic replacement -- if for no other reason than the price/difficulty in getting the rights.
