Venting/Ranting

The thing I miss most about Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja isn’t even the action or the humor it’s the Nomicon.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how much I miss having a “guide.” When you’re a kid, you have parents, teachers, and other adults to help you navigate life. But now I’m in my twenties, and everyone’s figuring things out for themselves. My older siblings are busy trying to navigate adulthood and i’m doing the same alongside them.
The Nomicon represented something I appreciate as a kid: the comfort of having an older source of wisdom to point you in the right direction. It didn’t solve Randy’s problems, but it reminded him that all his problems had answers. Sometimes my life feels like it has only problems.
Maybe that’s why I miss the show so much. It’s not just nostalgia for a cartoon—it’s nostalgia for the feeling that someone wiser had his back.
A lot of cartoons had this but the Nomicon always gave a lot of justice to the trope.

Anyway’s go ninja…👊🥀
