5 snips
Dec 11, 2025 Netflix's new animated films, like a Cinderella twist featuring villainous stepsisters as heroes, spark a cultural critique. Deconstruction, once edgy, now feels stale as its shock value evaporates. Delving into Nietzsche, the discussion links postmodern chaos with a longing for order and meaning. Auron foresees a creative awakening, driven by deeper truths rather than superficial trends, suggesting that as the allure of deconstruction fades, so too does the diminishing of the sacred.

When Subversion Becomes The New Normal

- When every story subverts tradition, subversion itself becomes predictable and boring.

- Auron Macintyre argues this makes modern storytelling feel lifeless rather than transgressive.
Exhaustion Opens Room For Renewal
- Exhaustion of postmodern subversion opens space for new cultural possibilities and questions.
- People begin to ask what was lost in the rebellion and may rediscover previously discarded orders.
