What people are trying to explain to you here is this. You read the original post wrong. You read it as nothing new has been made since Star Wars. So you came up with examples of new things since Star Wars. Which was never the argument.

The original post was saying that in the future, meaning after the date it was posted which was like a month ago, something completely new of a huge cultural significance and a massive scale will be created that has nothing to do with anything right now. It's a post about human Innovation and creativity and about how new things are always on the horizon.

    The point of the comment was that this is the most boring statement ever though. It happens all the time. "Tomorrow, the sun is probably going to rise!" That's not insightful. The point of the comment was that you don't need to wait for "the next big thing." Yeah, IPs rule everything, but new big things are still constantly being made.

    Edit: Also, the OP says "in our lifetimes." That doesn't mean after that post. It means since "we" were born. Most people on this platform are at least as old as HP.

    I'm not saying it's an insightful or original post I'm just saying you interpreted it wrong.

    Also Star Wars and Marvel has been in my lifetime too. So that's an irrelevant point. By new they clearly meant something not already existing. Originality was clearly the entire point. They could have used Harry Potter as their example. It would not have changed their point. You're focusing too much on the example which wasn't the point.
