The need for graduation from media and movies has been in a great incline since the invention of television. In the 80’s people started to amass over their favorite television shows. This has created a term called fandom.

This idea of fandom is the obsession of people over a certain movie or television show this has allowed the fans to be able to put their input into their shows. This would allow the producers to know what way their viewers would approve of. This is one way we are able to fulfill their urge in order to be satisfied.

People have adapted to getting their way and what we want when we want it. We can relate this back to the book we read throughout the school year present shock. He talked about how we need to have things happen institutionally not over time we have become more reptile like. Filling their urges as soon they are able to not waiting. Social media has flooded us. We have talked about how we have to get information quickly as possible.

We watched a movie this week that really blows this idea of fandom out of the water. It also shows how important they are. The characters had to rely on the dedicated fans who believed them so much to walk them through the bowels of their ship. Knowing it better than the actors themselves. This movie was galaxy quest.

In the movie, only one person was excited about living the rest of his life. His role took over his life but the rest of his friends despite it being lesser roles and not as beloved as he was. So much to having breakdowns or nearly fighting the fans to say famous lines. He lived on the fandom being as rich as he could living on a role that he lived 20 years ago. It was the only thing that was allowing him to continue living life carefree for the most part. In the movie the fans were so strong they even got a reboot. This happened after a long complicated quest but still. Shows once they die stay dead. Reboots for television doesn’t happen. Mummy movies now are having a resurgence. This is happening because of the fan base. Some examples are Avatar the Last air bender, new Jurassic Park movies, and new terminator movies have also been flooding the market of late.
