Poll: Nostalgia lied to me

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Nostalgia tells me that Sailor Moon (a show my Sister made me watch with her as a kid) was a good show.

...

*facepalm*

How could I think it was cool again?

B... bu... but it IS a good.

I've since chalked onto my list of good setting, supporting cast and overall plot ruined by an overwhelmingly annoying protagonist.

Transformers.


I love the toys & some of the later media but the original cartoon is just terrible.

 

[kannibus]

Come on everyone, we ALL watched Power Rangers. Yes. Yes we did.

 

[KEM10]

Was right to me. Rememberd the Princess Bride as being awesome. It is.

I actually watched it recently and can't remember why I liked it so much. I think it one of those films where the little things they added are better than the movie as a whole.

That and Dark Crystal seems more depressing than how I remember it.

How am I to interpret this? Because right now I'm afraid of you and your dinosaur arms.

 

[dakorok]

Looking back, the Pokemon anime really sucked.
Also, do the creep.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

The Godzilla movies were the shit back then, and they are the shit now!

The Three Ninjas.

Don't get me started on it, just watch The Nostalgia Critic's review.

I recently re-watched two movies that I loved as a kid in the 90s and cringed my way through them: The Goonies and The Never Ending Story. They just are not good.

Starwars 2 and 3 (the prequels) i remember them being really awesome and all that but when i watched those again... Oh my... HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?!? THIS IS NOT THE STARWARS! ..if you know what i'm saying.

just rewatched it recently, its so fucking cheesy, but thats what makes it awesome.

honestly i love everything i did as a kid, i realize its childish and cheesy and fake, but i love that stuff! i watch power rangers/dbz (marathon on yesterday ftw!)/pokemon with my brother all the time!

 

[Blue_vision]

Digimon. Used to love that show more than Pokemon. Watched the first episode recently. Was... disapointed.

Seconded. I had such awesome memories of that show as a kid, but I recently rewatched the first five or six episodes and was quite disappointed.

 

[PureChaos]

Evolution was good, shame they changed the theme tune from the AWESOME original.

 

[zega frega omega]

Dragonball Z. It makes everything into a dick-measuring contest:
"My power-level is 5000!"
"Mine is 6400! HAHAHA!"
"Mine is over nine-THOOOOOOUUUSAAAAAAAAAAAND!"
"WHAT NINE-THOUSAND!?"

Right...

 

[hungoverbear]

I watched an episode of the original power rangers and my reaction was "I used to like this shit!!!" God aweful, just god aweful.

BUT! Teenage Mutant ninja turtles is still good, the original Xmen cartoon still kicks ass, and Rockos Modern Life got away with sooooooooo much raunchy shit its amazing.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Generally I haven't been disappointed by nostalgia. This is because I never watched that much TV as a child, so the few shows I did watch tended to be the best of the time, and anything I've watched since I've watched on recommendation that it was already good.

And my parents were discerning readers, so my primary entertainment as a child was reading, usually very good books.

 

[Tharwen]

Star Wars. It's... OK.

The later films are awful, but the first three are just OK. There's nothing more to it, and it's not like I remember it.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

Pffffffft. All the shows I watched as a kid I still enjoy. Even Sailor Moon. The nostalgia is strong in this one.

 

[Soxafloppin]

Don't know if it counts but Power Rangers is still just as Awesome but in a completely different manner than when I was 6!
