Nostalgic Catering

''Remember the good days? I do.''

When a franchise makes a reference to its earlier self. This move made by creators is called Nostalgic Catering, or when they want to please their audience by reminding them of the better times. An example of this is if a character in a movie alludes to a classic line (that might've been memed) they made eleven years ago.

Nostalgic Catering is commonly done by creators who know when their franchise Lost Its Magic.
