A little bit uncomfortable with using the Swine to portray Israel tbh, especially since every other animal head is supposed to represent the emblematic animal of each country.

You can't convince me that the meme surrounding these films wasn't a corporate guerilla marketing tactic. It came out of nowhere and doesn't seem at all funny enough to be as big of a meme as its become.
North and South America ARE one continent, by definition. We call it north and south for solely political reasons.
More like Europeans made up their own definition of "continent" so they didn't have to be lumped in with the rest of Asia, because they were too "civilized" and "culturally distinct", which makes no sense because every corner of Asia is virtually unrecognizable from the rest.
Right, and western parents actually love their children unlike the Asiatic hordes I suppose?
Let them come. every lib dunked on is a moral victory, keep up the good work comrade DankZedong!
I think it adds a little bit of excitement honestly, every post you can scroll down to the bottom and find some liberal with 20+ downvotes being dunked on by yogthos or dankzedong or any of us really.
Tbf sun bears look bizarre on their hind legs, no matter what zoo they're in. Something really uncanny about their small bodies and large looking heads.
You're not wrong, but lets not downplay the gulf oil-monarchies. Everything you say is true but comparing it to Norway really doesn't put it into perspective. The number of migrant workers in the gulf countries is so massive it dwarfs the local population 10 to 1, and there is no path to permanent residency or citizenship. Meaning 80% of the population will toil away with no rights guaranteed by the government whatsoever until they become too old or unable to work, after which they are deported back to their country of origin. I'm not defending Norway, but they are not on the same level by miles.
Figures, you've never really given any thought to critical support.
Not really, just that he's been with us for years and it seemed rather sudden.
Perhaps, but when a big part of the meme is to literally buy two tickets and watch both films that just seems way too consumerist to come around naturally. Like wow, the main theme of it just so happens to be getting you to act just how the studio executives would want you to, go figure. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but box office ticket sales since the pandemic are still recovering, so I would not at all be surprised if these sort of tactics were being used to drive sales. And its not entirely free advertising for Nolan's film, since the whole point of the "Joke" is the absurdity of watching both films despite their vastly different subject matter. It just seems to me like the prefect opportunity to piggyback off each other's popularity.
