If you didn’t enjoy this strawman, you just didn’t consume enough of them.
Luckily, there’s plenty more on thebad.website.
Or perhaps your Adderall warped gen z underdeveloped brain has been too warped from tictok’s and skibidi toilet to focus for more than 30 seconds.
I spent a weekend in college reading the entire DragonBall manga. I never managed to find out why people like it. The first arc when it was sci fi journey to the west with dirty jokes was good though
It a phenomenon in my country in the early 90’s. The first series was fun but after that things started going crazy.
Definitely nostalgia, it was great as a kid with lots of content to get lost in imagination, and the kick-assery of it all, but I watch it again a bit with my kid and it’s objectively a hard watch.
This is why I don’t converse with dark souls 2 apologists.
Ironically, Parks and Recreation is my biggest, “I watched all of this and enjoyed very little of it” show.
I really liked it when I watched it back in the day, but it just doesn’t have the impact that shows like Silicon Valley, arrested development and community have for me
What? Did you watch all of it twice?
Well, every person is entitled to their opinion, even if they are wrong like you.
I loved parks and rec, and I think that’s a super fair way to feel about it. It has a very cheesy veneer hiding some really great comedy. I think 30 Rock had the same problem, and I get why a lot of people weren’t into it. Or maybe the comedy just doesn’t resonate with a some people, idk. I liked it, but I can see why other people wouldn’t, even if I can’t verbalize that.
There’s eight Harry Potter films!? Aren’t there only like 4 or 5 books? Did they pull a The Hobbit?
7 main books. They only split the last one
That’s wild. I didn’t even have the patience to get through one HP book or film without getting bored/falling asleep, let alone 7-8. Don’t know how people do it.
Meanwhile I know someone who watched the entirety of a very popular series (can’t remember which one at the moment) just so he could tell the obnoxious fans of it, that it was shit, and exactly why it was shit.
Me with Breaking Bad. Just to get ahead of the insufferable BB fans, it’s not a bad show, it’s just no Wire or Sopranos. Better Call Saul, though? Oh baby, now we’re talking.
Funny you say that… Loved BB, hooked me immediately, but BCS?? Shit, it started so slow but it’s by far the better series. They really let things stew and hit you with the payoff repeatedly.
I liked BB, I thought it was pretty good, and BCS I still have yet to finish (got up to season 3 and then got distracted), and thought it was also pretty good.
What did you find lackluster in BB that BCS did better?
All of this is imo, but. My biggest issue with BB is that most of the characters lack any meaningful depth; they feel like caricatures rather than real people. The writers didn’t have a long term plan for BB, and I feel like it shows in a lot of the storylines. I don’t think Walt’s character was consistent at all, which bugs me because he’s the focal point of the story.
All of these things I think BCS addressed and improved on. And again, I don’t even really dislike BB, I just think it feels like an off-brand sopranos. BCS, on the other hand, is the genuine article. I honestly think it’s one of the best shows that’s ever aired on regular cable. But I’m just some random dickhead on the internet, so who cares what I think lol.
I think part of that with BB is that it takes place over a very short amount of time (like, under two years?). Not that there isn’t time for growth, but it’s pretty non-stop of just Stuff Happening as Walt just chaos-gods his way through things.
It’s always got the throttle down and so there’s very little reflection time. Like, all the Sopranos’ action moments just back to back.
[off topic?]
I started reading the book “Gone Girl” and noped out after the first chapter because I couldn’t stand the yuppie narrator. Then I saw the film and loved it. Next I read some more books by the same writer and came to realize that she’s a great writer who can create really horrible characters.
Writer was so good she made me not read her book.
One of the hardest thing for me when recommending media to friends and acquaintances is to not oversell it and only do it when asked. Because I know very well what being on the receiving end feels like, and I know they mean well, but also, I like to watch (read, play) stuff at my own pace
You just didn’t understand [media]
If you weren’t so stupid you would have loved it
Osrs players after 10k hours: this game sucks
Don’t pigeonhole me like that! I realized after 100 hours!
… I realized it after 1k hours, also, but I realized it at 100 hours…
They have the most experience and can make a good review of how much the game sucks.
We absolutely do… Can’t wait to get back though, been dry for over a month
Seriously, if people have that much investment in my enjoyment of anything, that will ruin any chance I might have otherwise had of enjoying it.
I had an experience like that with the anime Berserk. Had my coworker not been so desperate for me to like it, I probably would have.
this is what it feels like for me interacting with naruto fans
I’ve never seen a single Lord of the rings movie and I don’t want to.
The CGI is amazing.
I played both Lisa: The Painful and Lisa: The Joyful, from start to finish, didn’t like them at all. Though i kinda see the appeal, they’re just not for me.
If watching 100hrs implies you enjoy it, then of course if you watch enough of it you will eventually enjoy it. You’re just not big brained enough to understand media literacy.
