Before the term 'epic' was being thrown around like a label, people had a different meaning for it. Today, most of the time, we use it to represent our love for a project or to express our surprise or shock. But many years ago, that term had a meaning far more invested than that.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were the closest thing to being an actual epic. It was born in the golden age. During that era, dying hair was in and disco music blasted down the streets. The special effects from Alien were considered groundbreaking, and the gaming world was dominated by arcade machines.
Back then, Jordan was unstoppable, Chow Yun-fat was a big cinema name, we were blessed with Teresa Teng's songs, and Michael Jackson was still black.
Back then, there was no capitalism, and North Korea wasn't a thing, Chinese football was still the best in Asia, and artists dared to speak their mind on television.
It was a memorable era—an innocent era.
