To be fair, my teenage nieces and nephews have finally watched the prequel trilogy and they shat all over it. They saw the original trilogy for the first time only a few years ago.
It was different for kids 20 years ago. The hype was all around them & they were talking about it with their friends at school, they had the toys, etc.
Exactly, the true test of quality is appreciating something with no hype present.
When I show my kids stuff like the original Ghostbusters, they see it as a good movie. The new ones, even in the midst of the hype train, just don't compare.
Very true. There are kids today who in 20 years will be shitting on the Current Thing & comparing everything to the MCU, avengers endgame, etc.
We already saw this with r/prequelmemes for the people who were kids 20 years ago.
things just kept going downhill

Very different than watching it 20 years later.
