How the Media Raped and Pillaged My Childhood

All the shows that you used to watch in front of the TV with your Cap'n Crunch are now all turning into movies (if not now, then in the near future). It started with my comics but those were doomed to be movies with all the technology and demand. Spider-man ONE was great I loved the first Batman and didn't mind the new X-Men and the twisted plot it had but then instead of leaving it alone they made four more Batman and two more X-Men, then too many Superman movies. There's even more comic movies than there are original movies. Name a mainstream comic and there's bound to be a movie of it, and depending on when it was made and who made it, it might suck.

So then they switch to my cartoons. A Speed Racer movie was made, and as that was released a G.I. Joe movie was made, and now the low blow is the DragonBall movie. It is a very long show and it's been condensed to an hour - mix in the already confusing plot, and the people who watched the show will be pissed while the new watchers will be confused and lost. It seems like a corny Kung Fu movie they threw the name on to get viewers. It's going to be watched and complained about but it will make money and probably lead to Dragonball Z movies and more of my childhood memories turned into a lousy 2 hour movie (that I'll pay to see and b*tch about). Next thing you know Johnny Quest or Doug will have a movie coming in '09.
