I never liked this board game. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6MX2hxmfx_QPonyfan
Folks, this isn't a thread about stuff you hated as a child Quite the opposite.Quote from: Galactica on February 05, 2020, 02:08:07 PMHave any of you guys gone back and watched the original THundercats? Or Heman? The dialogue is almost hysterically bad. Of course, it was written for 3-5 year olds so I guess they get a pass.Bwahaha, these are the 80s cartoons I came to love ironically. I recently had a He-Man/Transformers/Bravestarr/She-Ra party with two friends (one of which had never seen G1 Transformers) and we laughed so much we cried. It was great. Especially the swearing! YOU BOOB! FOOL! And the animation budget. And Swifty's smoker voice! Ha, I could go on. As a kid I really loved Thundercats. Now I'm like "how are there adults who take this seriously?"I was active in the Transformers fandom, I saw how G1 is treated almost religiously when actually it was rather silly and borderline crazy. We watched that episode where a hotel heiress (she is named Astoria Carlton-Ritz, lmao!!!) falls in love with an ugly plane Transformer and he smacks her around and stuff A+ content!

I don't know how many of you ever watched JEM but the Misfits (or at least the main one) is a legit homicidal maniac- they actually trap one of the Hologram gals in a volcano in one episode- before it explodes ??? Anyway... now kids aren't even allowed to have bad guys as far as I can tell... somewhere in between would be nice for the kids I think...
Quote from: nessa16 on February 05, 2020, 10:54:41 AMYes, actually. Some movies and cartoons especially. A few off the top of my head that I have revisited recently with this effect include Gummi Bears, Darkwing Duck, Batman: The Animated Series, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and The Page Master movie. @ Ragamuffin, I feel the same way about the MLP G1 cartoons, other than MLPTales. They are more boring than anything. I have the Care Bear series but have not had a chance to watch them yet. I have not really been able to sit through episodes of the G1 cartoon as an adult. I do still like the MLP Movie and Care Bears movies, especially the first one. Those I know I watched as a kid, and still love them.I like the G1 cartoons a decent bit, actually. I watched every episode as an adult and they held my attention more than FiM's later seasons. I wouldn't call them masterpieces but they're nice. I can't name a whole lot of bad ones, just boring ones, like The End of Flutter Valley, and the Ghost of Paradise Estate. The Care Bears cartoon feels like the same thing over and over. With MLP n Friends, some parts may not have been exciting, but I stuck around to watch the whole thing. With Care Bears (and late FiM), I would click off the video and have it be background noise a couple times because there wasn't anything going on.

Especially Darkwing Duck is so hilarious to me, even more so as an adult. That show parodied so many superhero things and was rife with puns.

I still enjoy the original Thundercats. And that's an over-exaggeration of Goonies. They did a lot of adventuring, trap solving and thief dodging.
I also hated that one game where you hafta match up blocks before the timer stopped and they'd fly out. But I can't remember the name.Looked it up, its called Perfection.

I really love Jem because it was doing something fresh back then. And the creator, afaik, really tried to push the envelope when it came to characters. As much as she could given the restraints of a doll line in the 80s.I think it was freaking amazing how dangerous Pizzazz was. She could have collaborated with Cobra or the Decepticons She wasn't one of those "I'll ruin your outfit" meangirls. She was that kind of girl who'd stop at nothing. She'd drop an anvil on you for trying to book her gig.And then by the end of the show they all were redeemed out of nowhere, lol!
Nostalgia makes you think of times when you were happy and carefree and playing with ponies/beanies/whatever, anti-nostalgia makes you think of times that aren't so fun to remember.
