No matter who you are, no matter what your childhood was like, eventually you'll sit online and complain that they are remaking your nostalgia into a shitty CGI movie, while a deep, dark part of yourself cries in misery over your lost youth and the inevitable cold hand of the grave. Your hopes and dreams are dust, and all that stretches out ahead of you is an endless grey corridor of nothingness.

I really love the message in this, some people just don't want to grow up. However nostalgia never really is the best way to reminisce. Nostalgia leaves you blind, and when these poor adaptations of Hollywood movies, trying to capture what we once cherished. It's just not the same as nostalgia gets in the way. We can't go back to our childhood, that part is over and done with in our life. However I believe there is an inner child in anyone, just some let theres out in different ways. Lack of maturity is a bad thing, but when you can find balance between adulthood and childhood wants, is when true happiness will show.
The problem isnt even maturity, its that everyone gets so up their own ass about their youth being the only valid era of pop culture, because god forbid you acknowledge that your formative years werent the most important era of mankind. But that would mean admitting to yourself that your best days are behind you, and that you will never feel the same level of freedom and innocence again. Which of course ignores just how shitty childhood actually tends to be, since no one remembers the bad parts.
I completely agree with everything said here... I really like how you think, please keep up these comics! I really enjoy seeing them. As for what you stated, it is true, people especially the "group" I'm a part of in the fandom, only remember the good times during childhood. I can't really look back as much, as young as I am. However during my younger years I was so much happier. However there were many a times where I expierenced the most angst. As for pop culture, nostalgia is blinding... Me personally was never really engrossed in anything, and to be quite honest, I would have been better off born in the late 70's. As I am an old soul...
Aha! had never thought of it this way before. I was under the impression the trend in the late 1980s, and early 1990s was to match product with production. Nothing moved until it was tied into a toy line, comic book, cartoon or Role Playing Game. Years ago at the L. A. Comics swap meet they gave an introduction to the forgotten animated cartoon show "Sky Climbers" and when the fellow giving the show announced it was going to be tied in with a toy line, the audience collectively groaned.
