What media do you like tht hasn't aged well?

The original Star Wars (1977)

It's weird because while Empire Strikes Back still holds up, the original film DOES feel really dated to me.

Temple of Doom -- it's just SO racist

Racist and sexist!

Buffy feels very, very 90s. But it still is awesome regardless.

The Original Trek series feels very of its time. The other series do to a lesser extent but they do feel more timeless to me than the original (though I'd say the original cast movies are all very timeless).

Anything that was groundbreaking for its day, but is expected now, honestly. Even Buffy has this a bit - I wouldn't say it hasn't aged well, I watched it well after the season finale and love the hell out of the show, but Buffy being... Buffy was very new in 1996. Now you almost expect heroines to be pretty girls who backtalk and kick ass. Also, the lack of diversity and Willow not being allowed to be bisexual is far more noticeable now, I think. Or how shows like FRIENDS handled homosexuality - for 1994 FRIENDS was progressive, there were nasty shockwaves when Carol and Susan married, but the gay jokes tend to lose modern viewers. (I was told to keep watching so I did, and I love the show now, but it was a hard pill for me to swallow.)

There was so much drama about Willow bisexual vs gay. Kind of highlights the bi erasure that people talk about more today. At the time, tho, people who argued the character was bi were often accused of being homophobic.

The Neverending Story. Loved it as a kid and still feel great nostalgia for it. But...eh.

I agree with you on that. I think I'd prefer to go hunt down a copy of the book than watch the movie again (and I have a copy of the movie... somewhere - I think it's in a multipack with Legend and Flight of the Navigator).

I also own it on DVD! I enjoy watching it every now and again but it isn't as amazing as I used to think it was.

Animorphs. I reread some of them a few years ago, and they were soooo 90s.

Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, and Freakazoid.

These particular cartoons haven't aged well, because a lot of the episodes just don't hold up due to a reliance on outdated humor and references. Freakazoid still is funny on its own merits, as is Animaniacs from time to time, but you can't deny that it'd be hard for a younger person to get into these shows and find them funny when they OD on the late 80's/early-to-mid 90's pop culture jokes.

That said, the TTA episode 'Fields of Honey' will never not be relevant.

Pokemon anime - though this might be nostalgia. Looking back on it I don't enjoy it the way I do other things, I mostly like it for nostalgia - but it feels like, when I see some of the newer stuff (mostly the BW anime which I watched ~20 eps of before stopping) it feels like it really hasn't changed at all which is a shame. ~~and not just because Ash never got older than like twelve~~

It saddens me that some of the effects of the original Terminator dates it. Like the T-800 repairing his eye or during the skeleton chase scene.

:(
