> FWIW I remember disliking the Zelda series at the time, went back and watched it when I was in my early 20s and remember liking it ironically (so-bad-it's-good), and watching scenes from it again now, I think maybe I was too generous in my 20s Yeah, that's what growing up is usually like, there are a lot of products that I've re-watched over the years and completely changed my mind on them. Take as one example "The Wizard" or "Thrashin'" were the good guy was a young Josh Brolin (LOL) https://editorial01.shutterstock.com/preview-440/5871775c/6ecf4366/Shutterstock_5871775c.jpg https://editorial01.shutterstock.com/preview-440/5871775c/6e... but the real skater heroes (Caballero, Tony Hawk, Hosoi) were depicted as the bad guys It is unconceivable today because that idea of the white blonde guy from a good family that gets all the girls is a Republican parents of Reagan era's dream and luckily died with him, people who actually loved skate culture and made it popular hated that life style. Skateboarding is now pretty normal, my t-shirt from the early 90s "skateboarding is not a crime" would make people laugh today. that's why I believe we should not judge the things of the past with today's standards, because we are totally different people and live in a totally different society. We know what was back then, but we couldn't possibly imagine what would be like in the future. And there are also many things kids of today don't even consider because they are not pop, they are not fresh, they don't talk about them at school. I've watched a lot of stuff only because it was what other kids constantly talked about, but did not really like them, but didn't say. In 20 years times most of what kids look at today will be considered "trash that did not age very well". So, to conclude, thanks god many things from the 80s did not live up to their past fortunes, because they were really bad and reflected an US-centric culture that wasn't so not-to-be-missed after all.
