TV Troubles
One of the biggest changes between being a kid and being an adult is the shift in who you identify with when you watch TV and movies. I remember seeing something posted somewhere about how when you’re a kid, you watch Little Mermaid and you identify with Ariel, and then you watch it again as an adult and you identify more with King Triton.
But there’s nothing wrong with that! Older characters have a lot to offer the story as well! Identify with Red from That 70s Show if you want to because Eric really is a smart-mouth! Yell at Ariel that 16 is still a child and she should listen to her parents and not throw herself at the first handsome guy she meets!
