Though, in this case, this is a very different type of nostalgia. That's what I can think of at this very moment. In short, in all honesty, I think the only thing that has held up from my childhood, that I still think is great to this day, are the first two Terminator movies. To be fair, I also liked the animated show, which was much better. I also loved TMNT and the movies they were in and, of course, now I know that those films are quite likely terrible. And, to be fair, the sequels aren't exactly comparable to the original (which I did not watch at the time I watched the sequels). For example, I grew up loving the Naked Gun trilogy (and Leslie Nielsen as an extension) and I re-watched some of the old movies (the second and third) and I definitely enjoyed them, but they weren't great. I have suffered from looking at things through rose-colored glasses, as it were, from time to time. But I'm not here to talk about that, of course, I'm here to talk about nostalgia when it comes to all forms of the entertainment medium. Or complain about the younger generation. Sort of like how some people who lived through The Great Depression and World War 2 call it the good old days and lament the state of today's world. Nostalgia is both a good thing and a bad thing. I've talked about nostalgia in the past and I'll talk about it now.
