Poll: Run for your lives... the 90's are coming back!

[Adrian Madhog]

Over the last decade, humanity has suffered a plague far worse than The Blight in "Dragon Age: Origins"... an ever expanding disease that made our guts torn inside our body and vomit blood, thus leading us towards an excruciating and painful death... I talking of course of the forsaken 1980's Uprising! Just because all the geeks, nerds and the Seth McFarlenes that watched too much TV and movies as kids, became the lords and masters of Hollywood, WE had to endure the most unrequired and annoying massive revival of a single decade's pop-cultural fetishes EVER! Seriouslu, who the hell needed to make a fu****** 200 million dollar blockbuster out of the bloody "Transformers"!? A bunch of toys that spawned an otherwise semi-forgotten franchise!? Who the hell needs another "Ghostbusters" movie (oh yeah, it's coming, fellas) that everyone will inevitably hate!? And was it really necessary to remember things like "Clash of the Titans", "He-Man" or even the Gobots!? Really? The Go-Bots? (On the other hand, that "G.I.Joe" movie was pretty good)... and whose fault is that? Well, mostly "Family Guy"... but also YOU, the fans!

Ok, ok, I don't really blame you. You are the one who suffered the most by this whole ordeal, you have my symphaty.

Anyhow... I'm guessing that, since this is a brand new decade, and "Beavis & Butthead" ARE in fact coming back (although, as always, NOBODY asked for that outside of the hardcore fans), the time for the "Glorious" '90 has finally come, right? I grew up in that weird decade like, presumably, many of you, and I have to tell you... if they're bringing back stuff like "Animaniacs", "Pinky and The Brain", "Freakazoid", "Darkwing Duck", "The Critic", "PowerPuff Girls", "Samurai Jack", "Johnny Bravo", or "The Simpsons" (when they used to be good, that is), I will parachute myself into an active vulcano while frolicing in midair dressed as a ballerina... and I would die the HAPPIEST death in the hystory of Joy!
Bringing back the '90 could be exciting, after all: back then, TV programming was overruled with anarchy, cartoons were awesome, anime weren't overridden with fan-service and FPS stood firmly on their PCs....
You know what? Bring the '90s back! I mean, what's the worst thing that could possibly happen? Sexual harassment in workplaces?
Michael Bay directing the "Captain Planet" movie?
"Seinfeld" is considered funny again?
"Scre4m"?

On second thought, PLEASE stay dead '90! Don't ruin MY childhood! I prefer the memory!

Your opinion on that?

Since I was only 6 years old when the 90s ended, I would love it to come back while I'm still young. I've always been fascinated by the early 90s, and wish I was a teenager at that time. So.... 90s! COME TO ME NOW!

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Here's a thought, and stay with me on this one because it gets a tad complicated...

Spoiler: Prepare yourself...

Don't watch the movies.

Also, I blame America, which will continue to cash in on something, regardless of quality, if there is a minute chance that a profit can be turned.

It's the blight dammit!

I'll read the rest once this nerd rage settles down.

Okay...I'm better now, first of all, yo dude chillax you're like freaking out, I'm all for sticking it to the man, but you are like taking it to the extreme and not in a good way.

Seriously i do think you are getting pissed over nothing, Hollywood trying to make a quick buck on our nostalgia is nothing new, and its not just us, heck take a look at every "best picture" oscar winner, its nothing but nostalgia fetish, just not for our generation, i do doubt that the 90s will make a comeback, it was just too silly a era.

 

[Chaza]

Well I don't remember anything from the 90s so Meh.
Some stuff will be good and alot will be bad but thats just like it was in the 90's and the 80's and today.
So I'm not to bothered.

 

[ralfy]

Given food crisis, chronic economic crisis, the threat of peak oil, and the long-term effects of environmental damage, maybe you mean the 1890s.

 

[octafish]

I remember the 90's as a haze of bong smoke, booze, flannel shirts, stoner/grunge rock and an intense dislike for indie brit-pop kids that didn't stop me becoming lifelong friends with some. Actually I don't remember the 90's that well. So I expect a reboot of The X-files is coming?

 

[Gentleman_Reptile]

Worth it. Just for "Gargoyles".

 

[Adrian Madhog]

All past decades seems better than they really were, in the distorting smokescreen of Nostalgia

Forgive my obvious mispelling, dear fanboy ragist... I wasn't sure how it was spelled since I'm dealing with a different language than mine. If it can make you feel any better, I played as a lesbian mage by the name of Fira in "DA II" and ended up enduring a long time relationship with Merryl the Dalish Elven Bloodmage. We're very happy together

 

[Wierdguy]

Darkwing Duck the movie... Id watch that

 

[Mr.Squishy]

MY BODY IS READY.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

Hey, if it means they'll finally bring back good cartoons instead of the (mostly) crappy cartoons they have now, I'm all for it.

Stupid tweenie-pop-obsessed, reality-TV loving culture...

You do realize everything you complained about is on Hollywood and the Entertainment Media in general, and some of us were too young to even do anything or remember anything about it right? Rocky IV, NeverEnding Story 3, Pound Puppies, Home Alone 3, Tank Girl, Judge Dredd, and Mortal Kombat are some of the movies that sucked even when they were fads.

Also, nice attempt at a quick-paced humor, unfortunately, Yahtze-esque/Nerd/Nostalgia Critic humor doesn't translate well to pen and paper.

Oh no, no no no no, you got it all wrong, mt friend... I'm used to Hollywood's shenanigans. I just don't understand what's all the fuss about the '80; I mean, according to all the movies and TV I've watched over the past years, it almost seems like it was the best decade in the hystory of humanity! I can't understand why would anyone be nostalgic about horrible-looking cartoons based upon toys! I don't think that "Ghostbusters", "Tron" and "Back to the Future" are the greatest films ever made, not in the least. I do love, however, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?", "Terminator", "Blade Runner" and "Akira".
What makes me angry is the fact that those people who grew up in the '80s, keep saying that the '90s sucked! I liked the '90s (Nostalgia Talk)... and, unless you're Randy "The Ram" Anderson, hearing that upsets me just a little.
In the end though, I think I prefer the time I'm currently living in (where I can play things like "Dragon Age II" and watch movies like "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World", because, in retrospect, all past decades look more interesting when you carefully analyze them in the current time, and make fun of them!
Nostalgia can be really dangerous indeed, and the Internet is the engine that drives this Blight around...

Well, it's not like humanity didn't suck in any decade in hystory, am I right?

 

[F'Angus]

I was thinking about this the other day when Nickelodeon was labelling the 90s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as "Brand New"

Ouch, that really really hurts... you may not believe, but I use to be like this even before discovering the wisest voice on the Internet.
