Are you saying that they were giving a sublimal message that the more you wait, the pent up "energy" will be released in a a disappointing fashion aka Getting Blue Balls from Powering up soo much, that they couldn't fight and it was anti-climatic.
"Oooooohh! You are GONNNNNA GET IT!!! Must...Keep...Powering Up...Must...
(30 minutes later)
(fight ends in 2 minutes)
Ha! Its like they were prepping us for the real world and making sure we get Blue Balls while anxiously waiting for our goals. 'DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH SON!'
For real though I believe there was tons of subliminal things going on with these old cartoons. Be big and muscular, be a juggernaut, be the the 'real' man, get the women and save the day ect.. Not like that anymore at all, just flip through the cartoon channels yourself and look at all the fairy type things they got these kids watching today.
