I reckon if you aged up Richie Rich he'd probably look a lot like Donald Trump.

Given his aptitude for robotics and pioneering tech I think he'd look more like a blonde Elon Musk.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

I remember getting a handful of Richie Rich comics with a box full of random stuff when I was a kid, for all I can remember they were mostly just about his fabulous wealth in bizarrely showy ways. Like I think he had a pool party and the poolside was lined with gems and the towels were made out of bills, despite that being actually worse than just a regular pool. You expect it to have like a feel-good episode once in a while where he discovers that true wealth is the love of your family or something, but nope its just more money all the way down.

It's like someone read about Scrooge and decided that the reason people liked that story was that it was about a fabulously wealthy dude who socialized with poor people, and just cranked it up a whole level.

I've never read a Richie Rich comic but whenever I see a cover, I wonder that nobody's ever edited them with subtitles reading "This is why the terrorists hate America".

I can't seem to find it anymore, but I once saw a great video on Youtube that had this clip of the Netflix series seamlessly devolve into ISIS propaganda and it fit perfectly because Jesus, what the gently caress Netflix?

I actually went to Netflix to check this out, and... yeeeeeah. it's not just bad, it's aggressively bad. Imagine the worst sitcom you've ever seen (Small Wonder, anyone?) then imagine watching it after four days with no sleep while drinking Windex, that's Netflix Richie Rich.

And just to prove the universe hates us, there's two seasons.

I actually liked Richie Rich comics when I was little. I mean, it's not an age where you think about the socioeconomic implications of Richie having so much money that vault explosions are a regular occurrence on the Rich estate.

But the Netflix series looks even more painful than the Macaulay Culkin movie.

The last line in the trailer is a neonate girl making a joke about being sexually assaulted by gorillas, while wearing a full body cast.

Edit: Why does tween get replaced with neonate, were people being pervy about kids in some subforum?

I imagine that in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen universe, Daddy Warbucks also ran for president, but lost because people kept asking why he seemed to lose his entire fortune every few years and always had to rely on the ingenuity of his adopted daughter to get it back, while he always resorted to nicking change from her piggy bank until she did.

Same here. It might have been about a kid with Stardust powers for all I knew. The main appeal was "anything he wants to happen, he can make happen, no matter how ridiculous". Embarrassing in retrospect, but I was just a stupid kid.
