Reply to comment by Nihilblistic in Inside Job Part Two, thoughts? by JustJamieJam

I unfortunately agree. I loved part one, but this part just feels.. like one big pop culture reference

I can't say I was particularly psyched about part 1 either. It was watching the least conceivably evil "evil organisation" play into the Gravity-Falls/Rick-n-Morty aesthetic, but I can turn my mind off when I have to.

But fucking Christ, a lot of it felt like it was screaming "do you like this?" in my face. To the point of fighting against its own themes.

"Do you like this reference? Heh, he said "boomer", funny right? Jugalos, remember them, so stupid? Look, love-virus, you loved that before right? Cool but not wild, down-to-earth couple stuff? "Woman tries to have it all"? Qanon? Reunion plot? Keanu Reaves?

Why wont you love me!?"

I loved getting to turn off my brain and enjoy some adult show that felt like a gravity falls reboot on Chem trails. (Lol) but I just feel so.. I don’t know. This part just felt super shallow
