Am I the only one who found the scenes where he's selling all his really cool shit to be just fucking heartbreaking?

There was a similar scene in an early season of the big bang theory that I found equally depressing. fortunately Lenard didn't go through with it, but still...

Maybe I'm just a manchild, but I find that whole "It's time to put away childish things to become a grown man" trope really really saddening. I don't wanna have to sell my childish shit!

I haven't seen either of those things but I have mixed feelings on the trope. On the one hand, a total rejection of everything you love because it's 'childish' is heartbreaking. On the other hand, if I could sell half the shit I accumulated during my Sailor Moon phase I totally would, because I'd get some money from it and someone who loves it more than I do would get some memorabilia to cherish.

idk, it's just that sometimes people do move on and sometimes things really do retain their timeless importance to a person and both are totally valid ways of growing up.

Maybe I'm just a manchild

nailed it.

A bit unnecessarily hateful there anon

Wooooow

bitchy much

I wouldn't want to sell two stuffed animals of mine that hold emotional significance for me (a tie to my past and to my parents , my mother bought me a Stitch stuffed animal and my dad won me a green iguana at the fair. I seven sleep with both) for all the money in the world. I don't think it's fair to blow off someone for finding certain possession special to them.

But hey....I know to types like you, a guy not wanting to give away his childhood possessions makes him a pathetic crybaby but if someone told you to sell your prized possessions and "grow up" it would be "~OPPRESSION~", right?

I think there's something fundamentally childish about labeling any particular hobby, interest, or activity inherently "childish," as if properly mature adults were only allowed to enjoy needlepoint and fly-fishing and gardening and scrapbooking. Some people talk as though having fun or being interested in anything recreational is immature and juvenile. Thank goodness that's not what adulthood is truly like, or I'd be first in line for Neverland.

I just cringe remembering how my dad had original copies of the first ten issues of the X-men and his mother threw them out when he went to college because she thought he was "too old" for comics.

That, uh, could've paid off his mortgage right about now, grandma.

Nope, I know quite a few people who thought that. But then the entire premise of the movie is aggravating and kind of sad. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be, and there were some funny moments, but as a whole it was just a sad movie.

And as someone else said, it is rather childish in itself to label and point to certain hobbies or activities and label them "childish" and inappropriate. You can be an adult and still love collecting toys or reading comic books. Nothing wrong with that.

Yeah this. It's the attitude, not the activity, that makes a person childish for indulging in a hobby. And even so, it's not the end of the world if you are a little childish about some inconsequential things.

Speaking as someone who's closer to 40 now than 30 (if barely), still has my old NES and Atari 2600 and games for them in working condition (and still adds to the collection!), and is currently lying in a bed with a Sailor Moon comforter next to toy hammocks full of stuffed bunnies...

Screw that. :D

Eeeee! Eeeee! I have stuffed bunnies too! Maaaaaannny of them! :D

I'm tempted to count how many I can see from where I am right now, but I know already it would be at least three dozen and I would probably lose track. XD

I would have so many more, too except that having real rabbits made me less obsessive about buying every cute stuffed bunny I could get my hands on, like when I was younger. Real ones are so much cuter. But I would not get rid of my precious pre-real-bunny bunnies - and I still indulge from time to time... thinking about getting a new one at Build-a-Bear if I go to make a Fluttershy for my brony little brother for Christmas. :D
