The Law of Conservation of Hype

Hype cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form to another

Why did Marvel have to release the second Captain America: Civil War trailer right before the release of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice? Due to The Law of Conservation of Hype, some of my BVS hype has now been transferred to Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

A sensation of excitement you get when you're favorite anime character does something super badass or is about to do something super badass.

hype abandon

When someone gets hyped up for something, only to ditch it when that something actually comes out.

Person A: OMG, I'm so excited for Super Platformer 9!
*Three weeks later...*
Person B: Hey, Super Platformer 9 came out today!
Person A: I'm not interested.
Person B: Really? You've been telling us about it over the past few weeks, only to do a hype abandon the day it releases?

Hype-vision

Focusing so much on advertising for a single piece of media (video game, movie, tv show, public event) that you become blinded to how bad the content actually is, and go out of your way to defend the content from criticism for no reason.

Comparable to Tunnel-vision

People have some serious hype-vision over fallout76, so many people defend it for no reason when it first came out it was total crap.

Hype-vision

When you become blind to how bad a game or other piece of media is, due to the advertising and hype built up around it. Causing you to defend a clearly bad piece of content from criticism for no reason.

Similar to tunnel-vision

People had really bad hype-vision for fallout 76 when it first came out, the games still crap but it’s getting better.
