Yeah I know that feel. For me, it started ten seconds into the very first trailer-drop of the Force Awakens. I remember my heart going from childlike-excitement to "oh...they got to this too". The anticipation of a new Star Wars movie just fell out of me like a fart out of John Kerry.
Now it's like that with a bunch of stuff I'd probably have liked if it was twenty years ago. Video game show adaptations, LOTR, even capeshit after the first Avengers.
As for this topic, I remember being super-excited at the GTA Vice City commercials (80s music, beaches, sunshine, bikini-clad girls in roller skates, sweet cars, Scarface-inspired storyline, etc). This GTA6 trailer I was essentially dreading watching it because I just KNEW they'd woke it up and prevent you from "escaping" from modern-audience politics.
It's not releasing until 2025, and the writing is on the wall that DEI shit is costing companies billions, maybe Rockstar will get the memo and at least try to be subtle about it. Because they had to have taken notice that the woke Saints Row bombed so hard it killed it's company.
