Very few adults today would be excited about a GI Joe RPG if they had first watched the cartoon as an adult. No one would be disappointed in Willow, the TV series, if they hadn't bonded with the truly terrible movie as a child. The movie was disappointing, the TV show is disappointing, the big differences are that what one imagined seeing in their childhood is hard to compete with (I refuse to go back and see just how bad The Black Hole is, for instance, having enjoyed it as a kid) and that coming to the TV show as an adult, things look more like they are.Everyone does it. It's not an insult to say rose-colored glasses are involved. It's a brain thing, not a personal failing.</blockquote>
