How is WIR a post modern text?

• Structures are blurring/breaking, lack of belief and rejecting traditional ideas.
• Genres are merged together from the different games.
• Representation of gender, Felix is feminine Calhourn is masculine
• Grand Narrative - good beats evil (Disney) technically - but Ralph is bad to begin with
• Audience vs text - No its a film modern
• Jameson
• Lots of interetexuality - Heros Duty - Halo/COD and Sugar Rush - Mario cart
• Bricolge - lots of games come together to create original ideas
• Parody - Alcoholic meeting - counseling with all the evil characters
• Pastiche - to older games to reach parents and middle aged people 90's games
• Hybridity - in terms on the genres mixed together
• Lyotard
• Empty/meaningless - lack of belief - Religion - out of order sighn, high angle, god like power, nuclear family - Felix and Calhourn marry and patriotism Venvelope - princess - but not stereotypical one
• Style over substance - Retro games?
• Baudrillard
• Hypereality - cartoon, Calhourn has emotion - husband to be is killed by the bug machines
• Simulcra - simulation of reality
