Maybe I missed some messages in them

Courage taught us to be empathetic and stand up for those we loved, no matter how scary the challenge was

Ed Edd and Eddy taught us the importance of the family we choose. Even if your parents aren't always looking out for you, your friends are.

Dexter mostly taught me not to be an insufferable "intellectual" asshole like that little fucker was

Tom and Jerry probably had a message? I dunno but it was fun

Was never interested in Samurai Jack

You know what I never got anything of the kind from these things. They were just funny mostly and kinda scary in some places. I don't know, maybe it is something subconscious.

I just remember wanting to slice everyone with a lightsaber at some point. I guess there were plenty of lessons about dismemberment in Star Wars. Actually Star Wars had plenty of these lessons but from the perspective they were kind of... well. Fitting for a monk more than a normal human. Not really that great.

Lucas is nuts claiming it was a kids movie series. Maybe phantom menace but even that was like cmon people got sliced in half and politics lol. I am a rice field worker if OT are children movies.

You don't even understand half of the Vader, Luke stuff until rewatch when you are much older. Actually I almost went to monastery or something thanks to Star Wars and got super religious and dogmatic at one point roleplaying a Jedi of course for a whole school year or something. That was quite embarrassing

Then I got a bible and started reading and repeated to everyone who wanted to hear and those who didn't the selected holy warfare quotes. That was also quite embarrassing

If the bible had more warfare quotes who knows what I would be doing today, fortunately there are only like three in total. Unlike in Koran I guess. Poor muslim kids.

Still better than the cursed smartphone zombies we all turn into
