Okay, maybe more appropriately I should say give me a Comic Accurate batman over an Adam West, or Michael Keaton Batman any day.
IMO, just because something is from my childhood, doesn't make it awesome.
In fact, growing older made me realize how aweful things like Thundercats, and the old sunbow TF cartoon genuinely wore. Not how terrific they were.
I didn't get into superheroes until the mid-ninties (And my early to mid-teens) because up until then, all the toys and fiction I had exposure to (Couldn't collect comics) were aweful. Even when I was supossedly too young to know what's good or bad.
It wasn't until Toybiz started making good sculpts (Around the time the first Beast, Rogue, and Phoenix toys hit) that superhero toys started to interest me.
Maybe I have high standards and always have, But Superfriends and Super Powers has no place in my life. Never have, and never will. That Mr Freeze is absolutely disgusting compaired to what they're capable of.
The 80s were not the be-all end-all. And yes, that's when *my* childhood was, too. Transformers Animated over G1 anyday. DCU Animated over Superfriends anyday.
