Just a quick rant or something just to get this out of my head and type it down like Shakespeare.
Do you guys remember The Golden Era of Lego when they actually give a shit about creativity and exciting themes? (Either if you're a Millennial or a Gen Z or a Gen Alpha, it don't matter)
Well Woopie Doo! ITS GONE!! Nowadays we got bullshit like this
I'm not being a hater because I have no enemies (sort of but not really) and I get along with people well. But this. This is boring cuz what the fuck is this!?
First off. Why does this look soulless, and why the repetitive themes when you could've make a new one but no~ Lego just want money over creativity and quality.
Second off. I don't give a shit about Lego Friends like I'm aware it was supposed to be targeted towards girls but Lego. You do realise that there were girls who liked Lego sets before the theme for girls exist? Take for an example: Bionicle Fans.
The Trans Pipeline all leads to Lego Bionicle, and it's all thanks to Christian Faber🙏🙏 (but also Hero Factory because it is woke too). I mean I know that Lego back in the early 2000s to 2010s were for boys because of the theme but little did Lego know that there were Women, Trans Women and Trans Men who grew up with Lego. But Lego, when they came up with Lego Friends were like "Fuck it! Let's make it for girls" like are you kidding me. I grew up with girl themes when I was little until I stopped and tried to like boy themes because the things us girls like were mocked and made fun of like I don't get it! (I am liking girly stuff now because I grew a frontal lobe) Yeah I get the whole Boys or Girls stuff but clearly if people were mocking things that were for girls, that's hypocritical and misogynistic. I mean, come on, Lego! You need to dig a little deeper into who your target audience really is, like that old lady from Disney's The Princess and The Frog.
And last off: Star Wars. I grew up with Star Wars because of my older brother with Lego Star Wars and other Star Wars media. Lego Star Wars was peak back in the early 2000s to 2010s but nowadays, it's getting annoying😑😑 Lego keeps overusing Star Wars, Lego City and Ninjago (Ninjago should've end after the Sky arc) to the point that it's not entertaining anymore, and the cost is so high, are you kidding me! Back then it was less but now it's high as fuck more than people smoking Marijuana back at the 1960s, that children who want Lego, their parents can't afford it because it costs so much! This is unfair Lego! Everyone deserves to have it! Just make new themes! Trust me on this! If you make a new theme, Everyone will be interested in it! But instead, you chose to milk the franchises so dry like it's Tiddalick the Frog.
And for the instruction manuals...
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!!??
I am aware that I have Autism, ADHD and Dyspraxia but this is burning my eyes so much that I would be blind and have to use the Braille version of a Playboy Magazine. This looks soulless and bland like how Millennials on TikTok renovate the most beautiful house that brings everyone joy, nostalgia and comfort and turned it into a fucking mental hospital. Why would you do this Lego!? You just killed off one of the best artifacts from history and modified it to look appealing to Millennials (I'm not trying to be a Baby Boomer blaming everyone but work with me on this) what about the kids? They need colour in their lives, not just some beige bullshit.
Now THIS! This was the best thing in our lives! The instruction manuals were so captivating to all of us who grew up with Lego, but now we got soulless corporate Millennialcore slop😑😒😠
I miss the Golden Era... We need to bring it back now... Lego please hire us🙏🙏 we promise we'll blow the fucking stocks up that keeps everyone interested🙏🙏 and plus I need a job
That's it for today. Hope you enjoy my rant.
