do you think robin williams would still be popular?

[kingjames488]

or did society leave him behind?

[vkobe]

we dont know

does old actor from 80s and 90s still popular in 2024 ?

Of course, everyone loved him. <3

You're welcome

The mouse literally hung him.
Most people don't know those fights he had regarding NOT merchandising the genie from Aladdin.
He will be... missed.

[Bassturd]

It's not uncommon for younger generations to move on from older previous pop culture. He would have either adapted to the 'modern' thing, or he would have retired and enjoyed his golden years.

Miss him,RIP

His joke about the dad who named his kids from a medical dictionary picking them up from school has perma stuck in my mind. Chlamydia come here lmao

I'm aware of it... and his spat with katenbug... tho I don't think that's why myself...

no one today would have been interested in a story about ♥♥♥♥♥ up dolphins...

Can't say for sure it's too hypothetical.

He probably would have been canceled if he did another uncensored Batty rap with modern audiences.

Its possible that if his relatives were still taking him for all he was worth, he'd still be doing whatever movie he could get. And maybe end up like picard

Or maybe his tweets would get out. I don't wanna think of Robin suffering with TDS and being like Steven colbert. Or ending up like Notch because he said so much angry or real stuff.

Him, like the green power ranger went out still heros to most.

His acting and the public good will in his favor would still be popular.

But, his comedy was left behind.

I guess you had to be there to experience it, but what he brought to the comedic stage was "special." It was unheard of - Nobody had seen that kind of energy, before. He didn't just get up there and tell jokes or wait for the audience to laugh. He was a very strong force-of-nature on the stage. But, then, other comics started getting noticed that had that sort of infectious energy.

Williams had an infectious machine-gun full of rampant comedic energy and wild improv wit. It was new, magical, and propelled him to stardom overnight. And... then his age passed and comedy moved on, incorporating much of what he had been doing and refining it. Williams hit it big with his style, personality, and a great initial break-out hook that audiences enjoyed. Would it have been enough to pack in audiences, today? Well, we'll never know.

knowing modern audiences if he came back to play genie again for a new Aladdin, they'd be upset he's not Arabian

The world we live in.

They left him behind. But he had the last laugh.
