Jack is a dead tech bro.

Hey, tbf, he does have a decent grasp on it but decides to give up and change it when he sees that it won't sell well to the masses. 😂

Except he only gets the form of it, not the function. In life he probably thought the Google phone was a brilliant competitor to the iPhone.

Fair, fair 😂

How dare you

ohhhh my goooodd!
I've never seen it this way now I can't go back

It fits right in with the racist AF Oogie Boogie stuff, I guess.

jort-hk.bsky.social•120 days ago

No he can't be, Jack learns his lesson and grows from his experience.

Skelon Musk

leftyjellyfish.bsky.social•120 days ago

No because he admits he was wrong which is something no tech bro would ever do

ohdahlia.bsky.social•120 days ago

Real

jesigrac3.bsky.social•120 days ago

The other tech bros killed him for it.

middlerage.bsky.social•120 days ago

Accurate plus he’s doing it b/c he’s just bored which tracks. People who aren’t billionaires don’t have time to get that bored

Sound like you are describing Trump and Musk.

Zero represents the undying loyalty of the proletariat, gladly toiling under the whip of Jack (capitalism), simply more dead than everyone and everything else around him

ink-blotch.bsky.social•120 days ago

Thanks I hate it (you’re not wrong I guess)

marshallgetto.bsky.social•120 days ago

That fits. Sees shiny things and pretends he's the expert on it. Ruins it. Although the comparison breaks when Jack realizes the error of his ways. Still waiting for that in RL.

Elon is Jack.

somewhere-in-mi.bsky.social•120 days ago

Except Jack figured it out in the end. I have less hope for Elon. 😅

And a woman (Sally) is the one that set him straight. And he thought her value was a seamstress

ljweisenbach.bsky.social•120 days ago

He’s the felon45

Die fast and break things.

ame-meeple.bsky.social•120 days ago

He admits he's wrong, sets things right, and comes out of it reinvigorated, inspired, and ready to do what he's truly best at again.

He's a frustrated artist.
I think that's part of what's kept this movie popular for so long.

zackulous.bsky.social•120 days ago

I think Jack is more of a frustrated artist who wants something new, but doesn’t know how to do it because he’s so used to one medium.

Another moral is that international trade is good because sometimes other people are just better at doing something and already have all the materials and equipment, so you should just buy from them instead of trying to make it yourself. Anti- crappy US ramen brands like Lotus Foods.
