Nostalgia is a funny thing. On the one hand, its inclusion in cinema, television, and anime seems to be at an all-time high. Whether it’s a discussion of Stranger Things, Disney’s slew of live-action remakes, or the return of beloved franchises and characters like Ghostbusters or The Super Mario Bros. Movie, audiences can’t seem to escape their sentimental past. This occurrence, of course, doesn’t sit well with every viewer. Some audiences have even cited the trend as the reason for cinema’s downfall, since every other new release appears to merely be a repackaging of past undertakings. The flip side of this is that this type of reminiscing may have some positive psychological attributes. This is reassuring, since nostalgia seems to be an activity that people imperatively can’t avoid.There are still at least two versions of nostalgia: personal and historical. The personal variety naturally happens on an individual level and typically occurs when someone craves a taste of their past or wants to relive a positive experience. Alternatively, historical nostalgia consists of an “emotional attachment to, or longing for” a previous societal moment or era, even if the person never experienced the period themselves. This last part could definitely explain the emergence and rise of modern “period pieces” and why contemporary audiences seem to flock to them. Nevertheless, it’s also why Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix is an excellent watch for anyone who’s eager to experience the feel of the late ’80s and early ’90s secondhand. More importantly, Captain Laserhawk also does a beautiful job of conjuring up personal nostalgia, particularly for millennials. It’s a new series that should be on the radar of any fan who was born after 1980 or before 1997.It may seem like a stretch, but Captain Laserhawk also homages other comparable titles from the period, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Cool World, specifically through its use of mixed media, which selectively combines live-action and animation. Not only does the series do this beautifully, but Shankar is also aware of the parallels and shares the following fact with Animation Magazine: “At the end of the day, I would also compare it to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, because it’s a whole new universe like Zemeckis made, but then he populated it with known IP.” The only difference is where Robert Zemeckis littered his world with iconic Warner Brothers and Disney characters, Shankar fills his Orwellian landscape with personalities from some of Ubisoft’s most prominent properties, such as Far Cry 4, Watch Dogs 2, The Crew, and Beyond Good and Evil.
