I genuinely think that watching Threads as a child - while probably somewhat traumatic - helped me avoid the worst of the 'I'd be an awesome badass in the apocalypse' brainworms lmao (even though I do still play post apocalypse videogames and the like). Being generally a bit of a pessimist and having a bunch of chronic conditions/illnesses probably contributed, too.
