80s kid here, I was terrified of E.T. as a child but it was mostly based on a misunderstanding - I thought his name was Eaty because he liked to eat things, so it naturally followed that he was going to come to my house and eat me.

geriatric millennial who was disgusted by E.T. but had a young millennial sister (born ‘93) who LOVED his wrinkly ass and i had to watch it so many times with her while babysitting and it compounded my hatred like you would not believe

attitudes re: E.T. the character are probably the most meaningful dividing line between an “old Millennial” vs “young Gen Xer” i’ve ever personally encountered
