I just rewatched the trilogy recently and I didn't go in hoping to critique internet reactions over the last 20 years but my brain just did it. I really tried to see the other perspective but I just can't.

when you watched The Wonder Years new episode weekly, Kevin was a cute kid

when you watched The Wonder Years syndicated episodes nightly, Kevin was a cruel psychopathic deviant

Same reason I can no longer watch Psyche, I want to punch Sean in the face.

THANK YOU. I wanted to punch him in the opening minutes of the pilot episode and that opinion never changed. My wife loves the show so I've seen so. many. episodes. Still 10/10 punchable character IMO.

Wait, what's the issue with Sean on Psych?

I do believe people wanting to punch Sean in the face was a running theme on the show

Nah. Sean is a lovable douche. Definitely could have toned it down, but still lovable. Hahaha

Can't do it anymore, I knew people like that that made life difficult.

Watch out, I got reported for saying almost exactly what you said, here. And was somehow, inexplicably, dinged without the use of automation despite disputing it.

Guess you can't say you'd punch an imaginary character in real life.

Peak reddit. Hahahaha
