      This meme was in the early days of internet memes. It still lives on.

      American movies that do well in China are the ones with lots of special effects and action, because they can be easily localized. A movie that's amazing because of its script that relies on English language and a native understanding of Western culture is harder to change for the Chinese audience. That audience represents a ton of money. So Hollywood has drifted even more toward that kind of vapid schlock. There may be a point where American audiences become disgusted enough they refuse to - sorry, nevermind, that will never happen because American standards are so incredibly low.

    • @Ounouh
      @Ounouh 6 ปีที่แล้ว +58

      I bet the reason he didn't cash in with the meme was that he didn't hire a professional manager to negotiate and search for business deals. He could have become seriously rich having his brand of breakfast serials and everything, but normal people just do not know how to market themselves and negotiate the deals. It's like top sports players get all sorts of deals that have noting to do with the sport they play, but the managers searches out the people who are willing to pay.
      That fcking "cash me outside" girl is a millionaire nowadays. You think she negotiated the deals and promoted her? No. But she was clever enough to hire a representative or was offered the service and they made it happen.
      Now the original Leeroy is just a sad bearded guy with a famous phrase he never managed to exploit financially.

Sadly the time of personal experience died but it was inevitable, we're all onto new and better things, hell I had played the game since release......more than 10 years ago, I dunno some small part of me wants to continue playing n just pay the 15$ a month just to screw around n forget about it every now n then but meh.

    That's kinda sad, especially ... Leeroy Jenkins should be a Intellectual Property owned by them. I mean after all, HE created the character, choose a name and they staged that Video together.
    Feels kinda wrong, that Blizzard now uses that IP however small it might be, for Quests, Cards in Heartstone ... maybe even make a Character in Heroes of the Storm ... and all he has is meme fame, while Blizzard has some cheap means to make some Items in they're games more famous/meaningful.
