The North Effect

A fallacy in which one recalls a movie or TV show from childhood thinking it was amazing, but upon rewatching it is actually terrible.

Named after the 1994 movie “North”.
Adam experienced The North Effect when he rewatched “North” starring Elijah Wood. After rewatching it as an adult, Adam experienced severe disappointment after realizing the movie was in fact - fucking terrible.

the ddr effect

The DDR Effect adj.: a member of the male gender doing something thought to be totally 'uncool' in absolutely no attempt to get female attention, but yet attracting the eyes of every female in the room. Doing something your 'mates' would laugh and mock you for, but the female gender find quite 'adorable' or 'sweet' and therefore think of you as a sensitive guy and potential suitor.

The Raiden Effect

When a game creator takes a character they made super bitchy in their first appearance, and tries to make them super bad-ass for later appearances, but over-does it so much that they still seem super bitchy, just also over-powered. The original "Raiden Effect" of course being 'Raiden'c from MGS2, later to appear in MGS4 as a super bad-ass cyborg thing.
"Man, remember when Riku was a bitch in the first Kingdom Hearts game? He's got 'Raiden Effect' up the ass now." "Man, they took a weak whiny kid and made him the main character... The Raiden Effect strikes again."
