Chapter 2737
Mysterio is on fire.
But very unsurprisingly, not in the way he hoped.
Humans have a peculiar habit. They like big things, and they like things that weren't very big but became very big. There is no bad implication, the fact is just like this.
For example, have you ever thought about magnifying your cat's size by 20 times?
Yes, there will be some overly practical people who think that if this is the case, then it can slap the owner to death with one claw, which is too dangerous. But assuming we erase this danger from the rule level, I believe no one would not want to stroke a 20-times-larger cat, right?
The vast majority of things that humans consider cute, interesting, or beautiful are like this. We think a tree is beautiful, so we imagine a world tree that can support the sky in the world of elves. We think the flight posture of birds is beautiful, so we enlarge them into undead birds or phoenixes.
From the visual principle, the bigger the thing, the more attention it attracts. People like their attention to be seized by certain things in this way, which will give them a wonderful sense of immersion.
Emoji expressions are also like this.
It cannot be denied that from small emoji expressions to various memes and expression packs used widely, a point that is easily ignored is that the latter is much larger than the former.
The bigger it is, the more impact it has, the more it can attract sight, and the more it can fully express one's feelings, so the latter gradually replaces the former and becomes a tool for people to express themselves more fully on the carrier of the Internet.
But what if you enlarge an emoji by tens of thousands of times?
Still the same sentence, people are always impacted by emotions first, and then logical thinking. And in the impact of emotions, they are always impacted by the simplest and most primitive emotions first, before they can experience those more complex ones.
Compared to memes, emoji expressions undoubtedly express simpler emotions. Whenever people use these expressions, they are not thinking about the logic behind them, but just simply want to use these electronic symbols to replace themselves in making expressions.
And if it loses the disadvantage of being smaller and less conspicuous, the emotional impact it can bring is much stronger than expression packs.
These two huge emojis are so popular.
Miles, as a good young man in the new era, also made the choice that all young people would make, that is, when he was helpless about something, he chose to take out his phone. The house is on fire, I take pictures.
The video he uploaded gained millions of views in just a few minutes, and after a night of fermentation, it hit the first place on the hot list, and the keyword "emoji over New York" also firmly occupied the first place on the hot search list.
Even if you put aside these cumbersome psychological and visual theories, the fact that two emoji expressions about 40 stories high are floating over a city is very popular with young groups, because it is too damn abstract.
Now it can be said that whether it is emerging short video software or traditional American media, or places like Moments, they are all these two huge expressions.
They were also P-ed to various places. The most classic is of course Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty. Then, the halo behind the Virgin Mary was replaced by a grinning face, the moon of the Apollo moon landing was replaced by a grinning face, the sphere in the middle of the Saturn ring was replaced by a grinning face, and even Vin Diesel's bald head was replaced by a grinning face.
Originally, with the appearance of expression packs, the emoji expressions that had gradually receded became popular again, and even became more and more popular. Everyone was tireless in playing this meme.
Finally, it even developed to the point that if any star or athlete was not P-ed in the middle of two huge grinning emojis, it meant he was not really red.
And the unlucky guy who was deducted was Mysterio.
Actually, it's not that no one investigated who the little man flying between these two huge emoji expressions was, but Miles, in order to capture these two huge expression packs, pulled the frame very wide, which caused Mysterio to become very small. People enlarged it many times before they barely saw who he was.
After seeing it clearly, people felt a little disappointed. It turned out to be just a superhero. I thought it was really me.
Mysterio's equipment is indeed very cool. This was designed and built by Beck for a long time, just to catch people's eyes in the first time.
In fact, this design is also quite successful, incorporating many eye-catching elements, such as the helmet that constantly changes mysterious scenery, a set of retro but cool and neat armor, and the special effects that often exist beside him. Among many superheroes, it can be considered very cool.
Iron Man's armor is shiny but has no special effects. Doctor Strange can use magic, but his clothes are too retro. Captain America has a shiny shield, but his uniform makes people aesthetically fatigued. Spider-Man's appearance has no highlights, and he didn't even enter the top ten in the superhero appearance selection contest.
By the way, the current number one is Scarlet Witch, because she is too much like a big traffic light's red light.
So if these superheroes are active together, people easily notice the unique and cool Mysterio. And since the superheroes are not on Earth, it makes him even more outstanding.
But unfortunately, Schiller never plays cards according to the routine.
At this time, creating a terrifying monster is useless, because evil and justice are naturally chosen by people. The more evil the monster, the more it sets off the hero's justice. Mysterio wants this effect.
But what if the monster is purely for comedy?
Let's put it this way, if a Jerry crawls out of the hole Andy dug in "The Shawshank Redemption", it will have to chase Tom Cat around the prison three times. If the first name in "Schindler's List" is Mickey Mouse, it will have to take a cane and do singing and dancing with other officers.
This is the power of comedy characters. Any literary work as long as it is stained with a little comedy element, basically it can be said to have nothing to do with words like "epic", "magnificent", and "documentary".
Mysterio feels that his thinking is already very advanced, but in Schiller's view, he is more like a new generation of Apple mobile phones—only updated but not replaced. Compared with the previous generation, you can't say he hasn't changed, you can only say he has changed, but the change is not obvious.
He has been trapped in the thinking of superheroes. I am a hero, I have a kind of ability, so I go to fight a kind of monster. But Schiller is very clear that the trend of Internet development is not like this.
Later, the Internet will develop into I am a hero, I have no ability, but I still want to fight a kind of monster. Then it will develop into I am a hero, I have no ability, I don't fight monsters, and finally it will develop into I am neither a hero, nor have ability, nor fight monsters.
The faster the information flows, the faster the classic bridges of traditional plays accumulate, and the faster people's aesthetic fatigue becomes. For traffic, the faster the speed of breaking tradition, the faster it will be.
Finally, it will develop into breaking tradition at every link, and then becoming a new tradition, and then being broken by other things. This process may only take a short 2-3 days in the new Internet era.
So it developed later, many memes on the Internet are 5.0, 6.0 versions when they are taken out, and then developed into 7.0, 8.0.
If superheroes are the most traditional 1.0, then Mysterio is 3.0. If you continue to deduce in this way, you have to experience hundreds or thousands of waves of Internet forgetting and picking up before you can develop into the ghost and abstract era of superheroes and super criminals.
But Schiller skipped this process, skipped the long EA test, and released the official version directly. This led to the fact that even if Mysterio is more advanced than ordinary superheroes, under Schiller's emoji offensive, it also became like asking "Are you GG or MM?" in 2020.
Netizens expressed merciless ridicule for Mysterio's outdatedness.
People have already become emoji expression packs flying in the sky, you are still there with fire dragons and ice cones, isn't it earthy?
Are they fighting you? That's fighting pictures with you!
My mom and dad will return me a hammer-hitting expression, you are reciting the Bible here, right?
Of course, people also suggested that Mysterio is a hero who saved the space station. Maybe he is really an alien from a space crack, and he doesn't understand this set of Earth, so don't be too harsh.
But it is precisely this kind of forgiving remarks that made Mysterio completely furious. He is not an alien! He is not earthy!!!!
But in fact, Beck is very earthy.
First of all, he is not young anymore. His age is much older than Peter. He is already at the age of starting a family. In American words, he is the kind of person who will post a marriage advertisement on Facebook.
Secondly, from Beck's academic qualifications, it can be seen that he comes from an elite middle-class family. He has always received elite education, and the distance from street culture is too far, and street culture is often the first line of trend.
And from his conception of the role of Mysterio, it can be seen that he is a conventional person. He believes that the law of this world is that one thing develops from another, and there is no such jumping inspiration thinking. His logical path can be traced, and he will not jump over a certain link on a certain day.
This kind of person is naturally not very suitable for creative work, because creative work requires this kind of jumping thinking. You must jump over a certain link in logic so that others can't guess, otherwise it is easy to know the ending when looking at the beginning.
In summary, Beck is a relatively dull and boring person, but this kind of person is not without benefits. The rigorous thinking of one link after another is very suitable for research work, just like Peter's understanding of himself, they are scientists, not artists.
Of course, although there are also aliens like Stark who are scientific artists, after all, there is only one Stark in the world. The backbone of scientists is still researchers with orthodox scientist personalities.
But Beck does not have the same self-knowledge as Peter. He feels that he can take on everything. Not only can he produce special effects technology, but of course he can also write the best script in the world, showing his scientific talent and expressing his artistic talent, and leading comprehensively in these two aspects, becoming the most unique one among 6 billion people in the world.
There are many such people in the world, but especially in art, the things they produce with their dull and boring thoughts and old-fashioned and backward vision are more suitable to be collectively referred to as stinky dog shit.
But they still treat it as a treasure, and in the process of eating shit, they wonder how others can't understand the wonderfulness of dog shit, and in the 5G era, they ask from the bottom of their hearts: "Don't you know that Tianyi 3G is fast?"
Mysterio in the office slapped the table and said: "Don't they see what a powerful superhero I am?!"
