Wait...that can't be right...

[HT_Black]

Due to the absolutely massive amount of anecdote threads currently running, I figure another one won't hurt...

We all remember childhood (sort of). With those memories naturally comes the memory of something specific; those things that were outstanding and defining.
More relevantly, with those memories comes that niggling feeling of doubt: the "No, that wasn't right" effect. This effect is exemplified in a childhood reminescence that, upon reflection, seems like it couldn't have been anything like the reality of the situation.

The point I'm just now getting to is that those false truths are shared by everyone (as a phenomenon, of course); naturally, I'm asking as to those of the collective escapist community; I'll start:

For some reason, I remember 'Power Rangers' actually being entertaining.

EDIT: Congratulations, false memories from all times of your life are now allowed entry!

I remember the graphics in old PS1 games being fantastic, but when I play them, they are ugly as hell.

Therefore, I have stopped going back to those games, to preserve the good memories.

Is that right?

 

[RavenTT]

I didn't remember Sailor Moon being so terrrible

 

[MK Tha Rebel]

I don't remember the Ultimate Warrior being THAT crazy. I don't remember him being crazy all the time, either.

Biker mice from mars seemed to make sense. I've seen a little bit since and, well, just...what was I on? I really want to understand it again, I just can't.

I never remembered cringe'ing watching pokemon.

Now i cant watch it WITHOUT cringe'ing.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

I don't remember my childhood

 

[Julianking93]

I never remembered Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball Z being so bad.

 

[dodo1331]

I never remembered Yu-Gi-Oh/ DragonBall Z/ Pokemon being so unintentionally hilarious.

Now i cant watch it WITHOUT cringe'ing.

I know what you mean, I have just recently watched the enitre first season and had a lot of WTF moments.
The voice acting was just scary : S

If i remember correctly they changed the english voice actors about 4 eps in didnt they?

I have this memory of the Pope dying.

Way back in the early 90's. Remember when John Paul II was shot? I totally remember him dying after that. I don't remember it from a dream, either. It was so distinct. I remember there was a huge controversy because they actually selected a black cardinal to be the pope's successor. And everyone was up in arms over the fact that there was now a black pope.

But at the same time, I remember clearly when John Paul II died just a few years ago. It's the weirdest thing.

Or is that not what you were talking about?

i don't remember tom & jerry being so predictable

I can't remember, all I know is everytime I hear the voice actors I feel like I got punched in the ear.

I remember thinking that capturing animals and making them fight for our ammusement was entertaining.

Of course, back then we just called it Pokemon.

Close enough for government work.

I don't remember questioning the infamous jelly doughnut scene.

Spoiler: They are doughnuts. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

 

[FoolKiller]

Yea... Dragonball Z, where there were whole episodes charging a fireball. WTF?

And most things aren't as good as you remember them. It is in human nature to remember the good parts of any event and disregard the rest. My personal favourite was Roar. It was a television show starring Heath Ledger before he was famous. At the time I wondered why it was cancelled when it was so good. I recently picked up the DVD set and realized that it was quite poor across the board from acting to production.

My memory is unfallible... But DBZ does suck more than I recall it doing.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

I used to think the flintstones,jetsons,and even tom and jerry were new-course that was back in the 90's,so I was waaaay wrong there,I also used to want a shadow ring

as for the direct topic:I remember hating black and white show/movies,now they are the classics that I tend to enjoy
