I suspect these will die out after the generation of pre-internet celebrities do. There were less famous people back then so each one has a lot of brand recognition. Getting them all together for a film is a safebet right now.
Maybe we’ll miss this era when we need to watch a movie where a crack team of vtubers need to assemble together to mac a guffin from a secret society’s discord channel.
We already miss this era, which is sort of the point. The question is whether reviving it and making it about how we are no longer in that era and everybody from it is dead or sad about being old takes us back to it or further away from it.
