“Something something culture impact” please save us

If you think about it, very few successful movies have had some sort of cultural impact in the last few years. I remember "Parasite" being a HUGE thing when it came out, but culturally, there's no footprint... no jokes, one-liners, scenes that are copied by other movies, references, or anything like that. It's kinda weird. And is the same with all Oscar-winning movies of the last 10 years.

I think Oppenheimer is the huge exception. But yeah. Most movies don't make a huge impact. And that's OK!

Heck Avatar has had a larger and more lasting impact than Oppenheimer

The only cultural impact it had were the Barbenheimer memes. After that, we never heard from the movie again.

Sorry, I don’t think I agree with that at all. I see it referenced all the time. Maybe that’s just me

I don’t know but it’s definitely one that people still talk about. Of course it is the third highest grossing Oscar BP winner

Really? Never seen any lasting cultural impact from that movie other than memes around the same time it was on Teathers, which is fairly common. I honestly think is more related to the fact that movies are not the main hobby anymore. like back in the 90s or 80s, it was probably the big thing on a Friday night, but that is not the case anymore.
