Panel 1:
Elderly woman (an older person with grey hair and glasses, seated at a computer): "We'll just keep churning out movies that appeal to their sense of nostalgia. 'Soundtracks' that are just medleys of hits from their childhoods. Rehashed old franchises. Both at the same time."
Woman with dark hair (facing her, in a red top): "But... is that... is it, you know... OKAY?"
Elderly woman: "I... hm. Well... I dunno. I..."
Caption (below panel): Thankfully, it later turned out that God is dead.
Votey:
The elderly woman, now wide-eyed and manic: "There is no morality. Only will to power. Unleash the Star Wars with Bon Jovi doing the soundtrack."

A two-person office scene. An elderly grey-haired woman in glasses sits at a computer, telling a dark-haired woman in a red top: "We'll just keep churning out movies that appeal to their sense of nostalgia. 'Soundtracks' that are just medleys of hits from their childhoods. Rehashed old franchises. Both at the same time." The dark-haired woman hesitantly asks, "But... is that... is it, you know... OKAY?" The elderly woman falters: "I... hm. Well... I dunno. I..." A caption below reads: "Thankfully, it later turned out that God is dead." In the votey, a close-up shows the elderly woman now wide-eyed and unhinged, declaring: "There is no morality. Only will to power. Unleash the Star Wars with Bon Jovi doing the soundtrack." The joke: a moment of moral doubt about cynical nostalgia-mining is resolved not by conscience but by embracing Nietzschean nihilism.
