To make matters a little weirder is that this definitely seems to be a Hasbro marketing theme/inside joke/thing (I'm not sure) as I recall Dan Yun encouraging "saving up your money" ahead of a reveal or two. This likely doesn't bother many, and might be noticed by even fewer, but imo this feels smarmy. Just reveal the shit, don't make tongue-cheek references that remind me about how much of my disposable income I'm wasting on your wares. This clumsy dime-store psychobabble might actually rouse me out my consumerist stupor making me wonder if Obadiah is worth $75 and an MCU Iron Monger armor for which I've no use.

Sing it from the mountaintop. Firstly, how dare these basic motherfuckers try to predict what I will spend money on, and secondly, to do so in such a tactless manner should be considered just cause for a really hard titty twister bestowed upon the responsible party. Like, “Hey assholes, if you survived covid (which was decidedly vanquished once and for all at some vague point within the last month judging by yhe reactions of morons) spend all your dough with us! You should have more money because there’s less people to buy presents for this year!” Go right straight to hell Hasbro, you ignoble schmendricks.

Dan Yun: you’re pushing it. Don’t make me up and bitchslap you during Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month bruh. Not cool.

I also can never forgive Hasbro for what they were going to do to Ted.
