80s toy shows and other 80s properties like Star Wars have irrevocably ruined pop culture, creating armies of Gen Xers still whining about their childhood toys. Children shouldn't be entertained, they should be educated. Childhood is for learning useful skills that will make you a productive adult. Think about how many of the boys who watched this garbage grew up to be disgusting manchildren who can't find a partner or hold down a job because they're still obsessed with toys and cartoons. Companies seriously need to stop holding onto nearly 40 year old properties.

Ok Teddy.

Every single show in this pic is better than Molly McGee

Late wave Gen X and first wave Millennials had the best cartoons that's why. You'd be obsessed too if you grew up in the 80s or 90s.

The bad thing is when some fucking moron spends the entire rest of his life complaining that it's not like his childhood. He sits there, obsessing over his toys and the commercials for them because he simply believes the future holds nothing for him. Lots of young people are utterly obsessed with nostalgia, and they're "like 20 bro." These same people aren't doing anything with themselves that'd make them happier to live in the present and they end up like fucking manchildren whose entire creative ability amounts to slapping cartoon characters they already know into some postmodern deconstruction of a fucking comedy that was deliberately designed to be wacky and unrealistic. Before this, these manchildren were 90s kids who had similar poor mental development as the result of obsessing over their childhood games and cartoons, who based their entire personalities around these games and cartoons and refused to do anything else with themselves, turning into bitter, hollow shells.
Nowadays this kind of nostalgia is commoditized, sold, pop culture is a shadow of its former self so the only thing that big companies can do is go back to that 'former self' and attempt to wring money out of you using that vague connection you might've had to one of their old "properties". The majority of popular shit over the last decade has been this sort of thing, Marvel movies and the massive amount of Disney remakes are a fantastic example. Your emotions get held hostage by uncreative faggot advertisers who want to sell you a product.
Don't let yourself get held by pitiful nostalgia. If you get nostalgic over something, make it personal accomplishments, not the time you pitifully wasted on the Internet browsing garbage that got peddled to you with dead eyes, that time you played some mass marketed videogame on saturday, or that time you watched a shitty TV commercial.

Doesn't make it good. These cartoons are still ruining everything.

>Children shouldn't be entertained
t. someone who besides not having a child, has never even spent any time around them and has no friends or siblings with children.

Children want to learn more about the world are insatiable in their curiosity. They constantly question and try testing boundaries. Do you honestly think that they're attracted to just nothing but fun colors and shapes?

Stop your dumb whining you insufferable manbaby

Cope

cry me a fucking ocean. It was better than the previous decade. Disney was struggling to keep afloat after Walt's death, Looney Tunes was dead at the time, and all kids had at the time were either Filmation's toons, Jay Ward's scraps, Superfriends, and Scooby-clones. Meanwhile European was flourishing with animated material and not being hampered by a proto-Karen and Japan's anime was gradually evolving

Better doesn't equal not shit.

lost cause

It's okay to admit that these shows were nothing but corporatism given an animated form, like most toy shows are.

pound glass

Cope harder, hope you don't get pink socked from your action figures.

This dildo wasn’t even born in the ‘80s
