No, they won't. Just like the works of H. P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allen Poe, the works that I cited will become canonical and be discussed for decades to come. And they all represent the pinnacles of their respective genres. Stephen King's The Dark Tower Saga is the pinnacle of adult fantasy narratives, Moore's Watchmen and Miller's Dark Knight elevate comics and super heroes from mere childhood characters into the modern-day equivalent of epic heroes and point out inherent social and political problems in our society, and Kojima's MGS does much the same thing in video game form. As a whole, it is the perfect post-modern, nuclear terror, Japanese futuristic dystopia novel of its age.
Also, you are wrong about what colleges discuss. Why do you think that if you take a class in American lit, for example, that your textbook is called Classics of American Literature instead of Some Stories...Some Good...Others Bad....That Will Assist You With Learning How to Analyze a Story?
"This is (essentially) what I was talking about with my first post ...
Being discussed in "College Courses" doesn't mean that there was anything particularly fantastic about an Artistic work, many colleges offer courses that discuss the popular (and bad) movies as a way of providing material which is interesting to their students so that they can learn how to analyze a story. Beyond that, I think it is far more likely that the materials you listed will be (entirely) forgotten in 20 years and colleges will favour classics, great peices of literature, or popular works of the day ..."
