    This seems like it should be in another thread, unless I'm misunderstanding completely, which is totally possible...

    Universal Orlando is way better, as is Disney World.

    Disney World is in the middle of an actual swamp though, not the metaphorical one Dullahan was aiming for. Which would make the comparison too on the nose, I guess.

    Disneyland and California Adventure is better because I get to go for free.

    I see. Your argument is quite sound.

    Yeah, F/GO is pretty much its own thing. Can you imagine if F/GO got a loose sequel like Kagetsu Tohya or Hollow, where the main character is stuck in a grimbright loop of constant repetition, where the world around them is colorful and fun but subconsciously they know the entire time that this is wrong and they're not actually meant to be in here haha

    Except I had to explain it, so that means there is no joke.

    That's right. **Zero**, Apocrypha, Strange Fake, Extra, & Grand Order have very little, or none at all, connection to Stay Night.
    Tfw some if not all of Zero's inconsistencies with FSN can be answered with "It's technically an alternate universe guys, so not totally 100% a prequel anyway."

    Disneyland is to America as current TM April Fools is to current TM.

    (I think. The guy's deliberately abstruse.)
    don't quote me on this

    Well, my hot take is just that the "silliness" of current TM falls flat because what constitutes "seriousness" nowadays isn't really all that different from it. Thus, every day is April Fools' Day.

    Baudrillard? I could have sworn it was Eco who talked about hyperreality and Disneyland.
