You know you're a 90s kid when...

++ First of all, everyone needs to go visit the official Captain Marvel page on the Marvel website. It is an absolute blast from the Internet past, and it's probably the most awesome and brilliant thing I could have ever hoped for in terms of advertisement for the movie. Well done, Marvel!

++ Secondly, in preparation for the upcoming forth season, all three seasons of The Expanse are now available to watch on Amazon Prime. Whether if you're already a fan or have been curious about the show, I definitely recommend watching it and to please support the fourth season when it officially is released on Amazon Prime this year.

The Captain Marvel website is amazing! Marvel definitely knows its audience lol

The first two seasons are not on Prime Germany yet :/
Apparently, they were supposed to launch this month together with S3, but only S3 is available at the moment.

Noo..... so much cringe. The 90s can go back to that hellhole they came back from. I just can't and ugh that aesthetic was bad then and it still is. There has been a trend with that for band website too.

I'm glad you enjoy it though! Just 100% not my jam.

Well, to be fair, nobody is arguing how bad the design is and was back then. But just the fact that someone in graphic design could recreate it perfectly from that time is remarkable, plus using it as a marketing tactic for the movie which is set in the 90s is pure genius, almost on Deadpool-level genius, imho.

idk, I love it. It made me laugh and I had fun navigating around the site. ;)

They really do! It is almost Deadpool-level marketing, and I love it. :D

Aww, that sucks, I hope that you get them soon!

HA, omg, the only thing that site is lacking the cursor that leaves a trail of sparkles. OMG.
:D

The Expaaaaaaaaaaaaanse!!!
Cannot wait for it to start again!

I know, right? I'm also kinda glad that they didn't do the entire full immersive 90s experience by having the page load excruciatingly slow due to all the graphics and then time out midway through, lol.

Me neither! I'm so excited. :D

[tabaqui]

Ooohmg, yes. Enough of that to last a lifetime.
:D

What happened to Web rings?

The Captain Marvel site is PERFECT.

[silverusagi]

Wow, that website is something else!

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

LOL yes I saw the website yesterday, so many flashbacks to my geocities site LOL.

EXPANSE!!!!!! My twitter and Instagram were FLOODED with posts from the cast and Amazon all weekend and I DID NOT CARE BECAUSE I ADORE THEM ALL!

Going to make a background for my phone with the Roci crew I think...though finding a decent hi-res photo of them all together is tricky!

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

It gave me war flashbacks, for sure, lol. I'm sure whoever did the graphics for the site had so much fun recreating what 90s Internet webpages looked like. It's brilliant marketing for the movie, that's for sure.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE EXPANSE! :D I'm so hyped and ready for the fourth season, you have no idea. I'm so, so happy that Amazon saved them and I'm hoping that people actually will be watching the show there.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

It really is. Kudos to whoever designed it, it's a masterpiece. ;D

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

It's everything I could've ever hoped for and more. :D

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

God, webrings. That definitely takes me back.

Animorphs fanfiction Web rings.

I love the website! It was sooooo hilarious to recognize it as what we were used to see all the time :D I can't wait for this movie <3

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is so interesting to see how far we've come, not just with web design but with the evolution of the Internet in general. Like, the site itself is brilliant for marketing the movie, but it also gave me flashbacks to that particular time and how the Internet used to be. Like, we survived that. How in the world did we survive slow Internet connections and pages that took ages to load, sometimes even timed out midway through?

Those were dark times, I tell you. lol

[sixphanel.livejournal.com]

Omg, slow connections! I remember it took me a month... A MONTH... to download a single episode of a TV show, and that was if I was lucky, because more than once when I tried to resume the download it would go back to zero. Terrible, terrible times.

Yet... we were there when the online fandom was created! :D That's cool, something to tell kids in the future.

[eowyn.livejournal.com]

That website! Omg. So many memories! Thanks for linking.

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :D I had so many flashbacks to the ~dark ages~ of the Internet, lol. I like that they did that though, it's pretty good marketing.
