And once again we go into YOUR personal preferences. You can dress up your distaste in the 87 series all you like, but ultimately you were just never a silly kid. And any adults that WERE driven away from it, were just not in touch with their inner childish sillyness.

And I'm on the fence with comedies with lax continuitiy, BIG fan of running gags.

And yeah it was hard to take seriously at times, mostly because...they didn't want to be taken seriously! They wanted to make kids laugh, have a fun time, it was the late eighties and early nineties, the age where most kids did not have fun at ALL due to lack of mass entertainment. Yes, they weren't as accurate to their dark source material as they could be, but it was just a FEW years outside of the animation age ghetto, no-one was gonna take chances on a serious story about teenage vigilantes who murder peeps.
