is having nostalgia for all sorts of 80s and 90s games, movies, shows, etc.
and seeing it manifest as brand worship at conventions, online discourse splitting hairs over details of the latest installment of a franchise, fans getting so excited to be drip-fed trivial fanservice with no heart of its own that it succeeds anyway
feeling the dissonance between some of your communities condemning Netflix's vocal pro-transphobia stance and others evidently willing to look past all that to promote their new scrimblo cartoon for them (unpaid)
and looking at how these are all 20+ year old properties
and just saying to yourself "...this should've been ours by now."
and cursing the name of Disney
a lot of fandom demands more! more! more! from stories that are already squeezed dry -- you see this going at least as far back as Dune and Star Wars, and before that Tolkein and the rest.
It's probably useful to redirect that energy towards 'we could have that, were it not for copyright' where possible.
