Chapter 2748 Star Core Rescue (34)

Chapter 2748 Star Core Rescue (Thirty-four)

Mysterio is popular.

But quite unsurprisingly, not in the way he had hoped.

Human beings have a peculiar habit: they like big things, and they like things that were not originally very big but have become very big even more. This does not have any negative implications; it is simply the case.

For example, have you ever thought about enlarging your cat 20 times its size?

Yes, there may be some overly practical people who think that if this is the case, then it can kill its owner with one claw, which is too dangerous. But assuming we eliminate this danger from the rule level, I believe no one would not want to pet a cat that is 20 times bigger, right?

This is true of most things that humans consider cute, interesting, or beautiful. We think a tree is beautiful, so we imagine a world tree in the elf world that can support the sky. We think the flying posture of birds is beautiful, so we enlarge them into phoenixes or phoenixes.

From a visual perspective, the bigger something is, the more attention it draws. People like their attention, and having something grab their attention in this way gives them a wonderful sense of immersion.

The same goes for emoticons.

It cannot be denied that from the small emoji expressions to the widely used memes and emoticons, one thing that is easily overlooked is that the latter is much bigger than the former.

The bigger it is, the more impactful it is, the more it can attract attention, and the more fully it can express one's feelings, so the latter gradually replaces the former and becomes a tool for people to express themselves more freely on the Internet.

But what if emoji were magnified tens of thousands times?

As I said, people are always hit by emotions first, and then think logically. And among the emotional impacts, they are always hit by the simplest and most primitive emotions first, and then they can experience the more complex ones.

Compared to memes, emoji expressions undoubtedly express simpler emotions. Whenever people use these expressions, they don’t think about the logic behind them, but simply want to use these electronic symbols to express themselves.

And if it didn’t have those smaller, less noticeable flaws, the emotional impact it could have would be much greater than an emoticon.

That's how these two giant emojis became popular.

As a good young man of the new era, Miles made the choice that all young people would make, that is, when he is powerless to do something, he chooses to take out his mobile phone and take pictures when the house is on fire.

The video he uploaded received millions of views in just a few minutes, and after fermenting overnight, it topped the hot list. The keyword "emoji over New York" also firmly occupied the first place on the hot search list.

Even if we put aside all these complicated psychological and visual theories, the fact that two emoji expressions that are almost 40 stories high are floating above a city is very popular among young people because it is so fucking abstract.

It can be said that now, whether it is emerging short video software, traditional American media, or places like WeChat Moments, these two huge emoticons are everywhere.

They were also photoshopped into various places. The most classic ones are of course Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty. Then, the halo behind the Virgin Mary was replaced with a grin, the moon of the Apollo moon landing was replaced with a grin, the sphere in the middle of Saturn's ring was replaced with a grin, and even Vin Diesel's bald head was replaced with a grin.

With the emergence of emoticon packages, emoji expressions, which had been gradually fading away, have become popular again and are even becoming more and more popular. Everyone enjoys playing with this meme.

In the end, it even developed to the point that if a star or athlete was not photoshopped between two huge grinning emojis, it meant that he was not really popular.

And the unlucky guy who was deducted was the Mysterio.

In fact, it's not that no one has investigated who the little man flying between the two huge emoji expressions is, but in order to capture the two huge emojis in one shot, Mysterio drew the symbol very wide, which made Mysterio look very small. People had to magnify the image many times before they could barely see who he was.

After seeing it clearly, people felt a little disappointed. It turned out to be just a superhero. They thought it was really me.

Mysterio's equipment is really cool. Baker spent a long time designing and making it so that it can catch people's attention at the first sight.

In fact, this design is quite successful, integrating many eye-catching elements, such as the helmet that keeps changing mysterious lights, the retro yet handsome and neat armor, and the special effects that often appear around him. Among many superheroes, it is considered very cool.

Although Iron Man's armor is shiny, it has no special effects. Although Doctor Strange can use magic, his clothes are too retro. Captain America has a shiny shield, but his uniform is aesthetically tiring. Spider-Man's appearance is even more unremarkable. He didn't even make it into the top ten in the superhero appearance selection contest.

By the way, Scarlet Witch is currently ranked first because she looks like the red light in a large traffic light.

So if these superheroes act together, people will easily notice Mysterio, who has a unique and cool appearance. And since the superheroes are not on Earth, his uniqueness will be even more prominent.

But unfortunately, Schiller never plays by the rules.

It is useless to create a scary monster at this time, because people naturally choose justice over evil. The more evil the monster is, the more it highlights the justice of the hero. This is exactly the effect that Mysterio wants.

But what if the monster is just for fun?

Let me put it this way, if a Jerry came out of the hole dug by Andy in "The Shawshank Redemption", he would have to chase the mouse around the prison three times like Tom Cat. The first name in "Schindler's List" is Mickey Mouse, and he would also have to take a cane and sing and dance with other officers.

This is the power of funny characters. Any literary work, as long as it has a little comedy element, can basically be said to have nothing to do with words like "epic", "grand", or "documentary".

Mysterio feels that his ideas are already very advanced, but in Schiller's view, he is more like a new generation of Apple mobile phone - only updated but not replaced. When you compare it with the previous generation, you can't say that he has not changed, you can only say that he has changed, but not obviously.

He has always been trapped in the superhero thinking, I am a hero, I have a certain ability, so I go to fight a monster, but Schiller knows very well that the development trend of the Internet is not like this.

Later the Internet will develop into I am a hero, I have no ability, but I still have to fight a monster, and then it will develop into I am a hero, I have no ability, and I don’t fight monsters, and finally it will develop into I am neither a hero, nor have any ability, and I don’t fight monsters.

The faster information flows, the faster classic scenes in traditional repertoires accumulate, the faster people become aesthetically fatigued, and the faster they try to find ways to break traditions in order to gain traffic.

In the end, it will develop into breaking the tradition in every link, then become a new tradition, and then be broken by other things. This process may only take 2 to 3 days in the new Internet era.

So later on, many memes on the Internet were originally versions 5.0 or 6.0, and then developed into 7.0 or 8.0.

If superheroes are the most traditional 1.0, then Mysterio is 3.0. If we continue to deduce in this way, we will have to go through at least hundreds or thousands of waves of the Internet being forgotten and picked up again before we can develop into the ghostly and abstract era of superheroes and super criminals.

But Schiller skipped this process and the lengthy EA test and released the official version directly. As a result, even though Mysterio is more advanced than ordinary superheroes, under Schiller's emoticon offensive, it becomes like typing "Are you GG or MM?" in 2020.

Netizens expressed merciless ridicule for Mysterio's backwardness.

Others have already turned into emojis flying in the sky, and you are still making fire dragons and ice cones. Aren’t you unfashionable?

Are they going to fight with you? They are going to fight with you!

My parents would always give me a hammer-on-the-head expression and say, "You're carrying the Bible on your back, right?"

Of course, people also suggested that Mysterio is a hero who saved the space station. He might really be an alien from a space crack and doesn’t understand the Earth, so don’t be too harsh on him.

But it was precisely this kind of forgiving remarks that made Mysterio completely furious. He is not an alien! He is not a country boy! ! ! !

But in fact, Baker is just very rustic.

First of all, he is not young anymore. He is much older than Peter and is old enough to start a family. In American terms, he is the kind of person who would post a marriage ad on Facebook.

Secondly, from Baker’s academic qualifications, we can see that he comes from an elite middle-class family and has always received elite education, which makes him too far away from street culture, which is often at the forefront of fashion.

And from his conception of the character of Mysterio, we can see that he is a law-abiding person. He believes that the law of this world is that one thing develops from another, and he does not have that kind of jumpy inspirational thinking. All his logical paths have traces, and he will not skip a link on a whim one day.

This kind of person is not naturally suitable for creative work, because creative work requires this kind of unconventional thinking. You have to skip a certain logical link to make others unable to guess. Otherwise, it is easy to know the ending after seeing the beginning.

To sum up, Baker is a rather dull and uninteresting person, but this kind of person is not without advantages. His rigorous thinking, which is linked one thing after another, is very suitable for research work. Just as Peter knows himself, they are scientists, not artists.

Of course, although there are outliers like Stark who are scientific artists, there is only one Stark in the world after all. The backbone among scientists are still researchers with orthodox scientific personalities.

But Baker does not have the same self-awareness as Peter. He thinks he can do everything. Not only can he come up with special effects technology, but he can also write the best scripts in the world. He can demonstrate his scientific talent as well as his artistic talent. In both aspects, he is ahead of those who specialize in one aspect, making him the most unique person among the 60 billion people in the world.

There are many such people in the world, but especially in art, the things they create with their dull and boring thoughts and old-fashioned and backward vision are more suitable to be called stinky dog ​​shit.

But they still feel like they have found a treasure, and while they are eating shit, they wonder how others can not understand the beauty of shit, and in the 5G era they ask from the bottom of their hearts, "Don't you know that Tianyi 3G is fast?"

Mysterio in the office slammed the table and said, "Can't they see what a powerful superhero I am?!"
