I probably watched that clip of Cyclops ripping off his visor twenty times in a row. For me that imagery connected to so many feelings… reading X-Men comics growing up, Cyclops being my favorite, the 90’s cartoon, wishing Marsden’s Cyclops had gotten justice, knowing that when Scott rips off his visor like that it’s usually because things have gotten seriously fucked…
My kid got nothing from it. He has none of the prerequisite nostalgia. Clearly I must work harder to make him relive my childhood verbatim.
Sounds reasonable. I’m right there with you 😀
shoop da whoop
Aah crap. Tim, dare I ask how old your kid is already ?
At the risk of confirming again how old I(We) already am(are).
There is this really old SF movie that introduces a methodology that could be applicable here: A Clockwork Orange.
For the evil trolls: please don’t take me seriously.
Albeit, I have seriously considered it after my daughter’s response to a Star Wars movie was … ‘meh’, can we now watch another episode of The Good Doctor (me dying inside with a smile plastered on my face)
Ah yes, The Reverse Ludovico Technique. I keep trying that on my wife to enjoy all my pop culture, but alas the results have not been promising.
yeah ! homeschooling for the win !
Check his reaction to Darkseid’s omega beams. Might be a DC fan.
The beatings will continue until the appropriate level of awe is reached
I feel you… I’ve been trying the same with my Daughter for 14 years.
Sailor Moon, Grendizer, Captain Future, He-Man, Star Wars, Zelda, Metroid and so on and so forth. But I keep at it. Now I’m trying to get her into Babylon 5. Results: lukewarm so far.
On the flip side, discovering new things with her is always amazing. She’s really into Expedition 33: Clair Obscur. Well, it helps that Maelle is almost a clone of her 😀
