You thought it was just a funny parody of an awful movie? He knew baristas with purple hair were going to cancel white people.

    That was probably the justification but it’s an incredibly silly one, kids don’t care if the main character is the same age as them. Luke Skywalker was 20-something and plenty of 9 year-old boys were able to identify with him. And as long you put lots of cool spaceships and droids and shit then kids will buy the toys lol.

      I typically identified more with the cool robots than Spike/Daniel in the Transformers cartoon, that’s for sure.

      Though I wouldn’t have said no to those awesome exosuits featured in the 80s movie.
