Those movies are all dreck for kids, and media like that being filled with stale references is not a new phenomenon. Impressions of Peter Lorre infested cartoons and games all the way up to the 90s and beyond. The Simpsons made a joke about "really big shoe" in the 90s in reference to the Ed Sullivan show from that started in 1948 and people now reference the simpsons reference. There are references to looney toons jokes that aired on tv in the 80s, but were shown theaters in the 40s that were referencing events of the 20s, hack writers are unwittingly making 100 year old jokes right now.

Remember Black Panther with "What are those?!" when Shuri asked about the shoes? Even then it was picked apart for being dated. Some Deadpool references also suffer from this since it uses topical comments, like Jared and Subway in Deadpool 1, but still takes months, if not years, to produce.

Reminds me of the meme showing how Big Chungus ended up being more popular than Bugs Bunny
