This is one thing I have always disliked about aging fandoms. Sure, I'm an adult and I have always held onto my love for my childhood favorites, cartoons, animation, whatever - I love Disney parks too -
BUT - I've always understood that those things are
for kids! I don't want to take that away from them. I don't need my superheroes to "grow up with me" - when you take a beloved kids show based on a toyline based on a breakfast cereal and make a dark and mature and r-rated version of it, you are ripping out it's soul. That's an extreme example, but look at Str Wars fans. All the 30 something sHATED the Prequels because they were made for 8 year olds - just like the OT was! The Sequels too - they are made for kids today (somewhat). The thing is, you don't have to be 8 years old to love Star Wars, but it's good if your inner chile is alive and well. I liked all that stuff just the way it was before, and I would still like it, even when it's made for kids - because I'm really just a big kid!
