Wonder Woman 1984 and Excess
Remember the eighties? The time of big hair, Wall Street tycoons who cannot profit enough, and the beginning of franchise films that could not stop milking the beast, think Friday The 13th, which had its seventh sequel by the end of the decade. It was no longer enough to have a great album with photos and a well-thought press campaign. Now you need a music video, nay, you need several music videos. Plus, you have to be good looking to help sell these new music videos. It is the time of cocaine, a drug that feeds your ego and narcissism. In return, this substance drives you to want more, more material goods, more ego, more cocaine, thus, putting you in a perpetual loop.
