Oh crap, how could I forget THE best show of the 80's (
and early 90's)
BETTER RECOGNIZE BITCHES!
As far as cartoons and movies go, the 80's was the end of an era... the era of originality.. The 90's ushered in a new wave of comedic cartoons like Animaniacs, Tiny Toons, Freakazoid, The Tick, etc. But it was also the beginning of the reboots. Don't have an original idea? Let's just reboot it! The 90's X-Men is definitely one of the best kids cartoons of that decade. But let's not forget before that there was an 80's X-Men cartoon. And Spider-man was already done in the 60's with one of the catchiest super-hero theme songs to date. TMNT, I'm afraid that was created in the 80's and simply carried on into the 90's. The only original action cartoon I can think of from the 90's was Batman. And don't get into all the Japanese crap that peaked in the late 90's. We're going for nostalgia here which is AT LEAST the mid 90's.
Agian, I'm not saying these show are in any way bad, they were indeed awesome shows. But eventually the whole idea of rebooting a series became the only option in films and we see it ALL THE FUCKING TIME. And now we've got reboots that aren't spectacular or extraordinary like X-Men. Now anything original that came from the 80's is rebooted into a piece of crap for kids to watch today. Sure, every few years we'll get Jurassic Park or The Matrix or Kill Bill or Inception. But in the mean time we have to sift through a sea of "been there, done that's".
The 80's was a time of originality, when movies were magical, frighting, outlandish but most of all FUN! And movie producers know this, which is why we have everything rebooted from the 80's. Like Friday the 13th to Indiana Jones to GI Joe to the Karate Kid to A-Team etc.. Jeez maybe that's why people who weren't alive in the 80's hate it so much? Because they're getting half-ass reboots of classics and kids today are going "wow, that was terrible, I hate the 80's".
And you might be thinking, at least they haven't touched the best of the best movies from the 80's. But just you wait... The day will come when we get remakes/reboots for Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Ghostbusters and Top Gun...
Oh God, I hope I'm wrong.
