I got a couple of movies from Netflix and they had these cool Halloween-themed mailers. Maybe I’m easily amused, but they’re kind of nifty!

I, too, am confused. I can only guess this is OP’s cheap attempt to be angry at Netflix.
Netflix used to be a mail order service. They used to send physical media by mail, and I guess the top picture is one of the covers. The bottom picture is OOP’s disappointment and depression because today’s Netflix is a fucking dogshit company.
Yeah, I remember Netflix when it did DVDs by mail. I just didn’t think there was any “joke” to be had with this post.
Is there any, though? /genq
I’m gonna go with ‘no’ here.
This just reminds me of the good old days of Netflix. Now they’re shit, but this reminds me of a time that they weren’t
Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but I think the two frames from the Incredibles is when Mr. Incredible sees all the previous hero who’ve been killed by the villain. I guess they use it as away to express nostalgia or something alike in the meme.
