Comment on What they took from us
Rhaedas@fedia.io 3 weeks agoThis is, unfortunately, part of nostalgia itself. There's a rare gem that is as good as you remember, but for the most part, your brain lies to you.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't revisit things, just prepare your expectations.

Yeah, it’s always a pleasant surprise on the rare occasion whenever the opposite is true.
Protip: Rewatch Spongebob and Invader Zim. I sometimes can’t believe how much funnier both shows are as an adult, and I rue the fact that so many truly amazing jokes went completely over my head and unappreciated as a kid.
It’s not even just the “adult jokes” themselves, but the personal worldviews of the creators. The “yeah, everyone is a con artist and an asshole” bits just don’t hit the same as a kid lol

___ Highly recommend Chocolate With Nuts for Spongebob, and Battle of the Planets for Zim
