There is a sort of critical mass with the reception of art where at a certain point it no longer needs to be great to be remembered as great.
This is why I sometimes think that 'better' and 'great' are two distinct adjectives.
Were there better bands than 'The Beatles' but they never reached the popularity? Maybe. But were there greater bands than 'The Beatles'? I don't think so. I can't even name most of their albums yet I'm aware of their impact on the popular culture.
Any other band you name as counter is going to be a band that was massively popular (Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd or Queen) too.
Another example I can give is of tremendously two Indian movies 'Sholay' and 'Deewar'. Both released in 1975, both have Amitabh Bacchan in leading role, both written by the duo Salim - Javed.
In my opinion, 'Deewar' is a better movie by any metric yet it isn't anywhere close to 'Sholay' when it comes to popularity or influence. The latter was a juggernaut.
Anyway, it's past midnight here and I'm wondering if I've made any good point in this rambling.
Which music video? 🤔

The first season is like a police procedural but laying the groundwork for what's to come later. It gets more and more serialised (like Buffy).
Collective noun joke.
Murder of crows.

Yeah, sure. Rely on US. What could go wrong?
You had a sexy phase?
Fuck Phil Lord. The asshat kept meddling with production. The trilogy might have been finished by now.

That's because Eva Stratt has never heard of Pascal's wager
When watching DUNC I legit thought 'they're together irl too right' and another part of my brain corrected me, 'different twink'.
Which client are you using? It works on Summit for me.
I thought it was clever enough to warrant a separate post, even though the pun was unintentional.
