These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Magazine Decay: DA was once a nearly-educational magazine aimed at children, covering varied and sundry topics (one issue, for example, covered the Vikings and Norse Myth). As the years passed, however, it narrowed its scope to the point that it became yet another facet of Disney's marketing department.
They Changed It, Now It Sucks: Look at message boards: fans of DA in the 90s can't stand to talk about the editorial direction the magazine took after 1999.
One early letters section talked about Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin mentioned a then-upcoming movie starring both actors called The Good Son...
In one issue about UFOs and extraterrestrials, DA did a profile of the Queen Alien as a bad creature to tangle with. They even labeled her as Queen of the Universe, complete with a composite picture of the beast with a Miss Universe sash and a crown. And they even went into detail what the Xenomorphs did to people, even joking, "This one will give you a new meaning to the term 'Bellyache', literally!" This crosses into Nightmare Fuel territory, or at the very least, leaves you staring at that picture for hours, trying to decide if that was supposed to be funny, or scary as heck, or whatever...
The Comic Zone contained examples of:
Animation Age Ghetto: Seriously, why did they run excerpts from The Simpsons comic book in here? Were the kids who read the magazine honestly being allowed to watch the show?
Older Than They Think: The Duck Avenger storyline starring Donald Duck was based on a European Donald comic that started in the 1960s.
