    Yeah, one of my childhood favorites was Thundercats. I tried watching once as an adult and the nostalgia died immediately. I’m ashamed of childhood me’s lack of standards.

      Me and my wife loved the X-Men show in the 90s. We loaded it up (the original, not the new one) and got about 10 mins in before turning it off.

        OG Xmen animated series is not like Thundercats in this regard. The first season is a bit rough, but it gets much better. It’s still a kids animated show, but it’s also very good.

        I was only a teenager when I got an opportunity to get some Thundercats nostalgia… cartoon network or somebody was re-airing it. I was horrified. I’ve not tried again since.

        Xmen on the other hand, I’ve rewatched twice in the past few years, and I’d do it again.

        Except the final season. Wth happened there? Felt like they were told to finish up with a shoestring and MS Paint.

          I just rewatched it last month and it was great; but yeah, season 5 was bad. They had their budget cut for that season so they switched animation studios. The change is painfully obvious.

            I assumed that’s what it was, or something like it. Horrifying. And they use some of those bad aminations on banner etc. Like they’re proud of it. Lmao
