Even shit as simple as some lady thought she cut me off on her bike, but actually I was crossing diagonally so she was fine. But like, there wasn’t time to explain that and now I feel bad that she felt bad about something she didn’t actually do.

Man…I gotta let some stuff go.

I was lead to believe that quicksand would be a lot more common than it turned out to be in real life.

In a similar vein, I thought I would have had to secretly cut or burn my way out of ropes several times by now.

Actually, rope in general is weirdly common in cartoons. Unless you’re a sailor or BDSM enthusiast, that’s just not how people bind things anymore.

I know what you mean. I always thought I would see anvils a lot more often in real life than I actually have.

I thought everything was the way it was, why the roads were exactly this far apart, the lights that long, was because people knew exactly the best thing to do, and the way it is was that best way, and I thought that about p much everything for a very long time

That, deep down, evil and powerful people have the same priorities that regular people have, and they can sometimes be persuaded to act in an ethical manner by appealing to their humanity.

If anything, Captain Planet is closer to reality with its villains being greedy, self-destructive morons.

Maybe, but that still ties into another unfortunate thing people learn from cartoons: “Evil is ultimately caused by individual people doing evil things, and if you get rid of those bad apples, that will stop evil from happening.”
