For me, 2 things come to mind; Berserk & the Long Walk

Berserk may sound controversial, but I just didn't have a good time watching the 90's anime. I felt angry while watching it. I just didn't like the characters for how dickish they were (especially Guts & Casica) and the setting was too miserable for me. And some of you may go, "but the comic is 10x better" (I know it's manga, I'm just calling a comic to piss of people) I also just don't like dark fantasy in general, since they're edgy, pretentious, and worst of all... they're ugly. There's a reason why I never played the Dark Souls games, outside of the difficulty

The Long Walk movie is really well made movie with amazing acting. But man was it a miserable movie to go through. Seeing all those kids getting shot by soldiers for being slower was painful to watch.

Side note: there's a lot of critically acclaimed stuff I like (Cowboy Bebop & the Dark Knight). It's just that entertainment is so subjective that it's not mutually exclusive to writing.

The Office

Back when it was still Twitter, I posted "when does the office get funny? I've watched about 6 episodes across 3 seasons and haven't LOLed once, I just keep wondering why this show is popular"

    The Godfather. It insists upon itself.

    It's always sunny in Philadelphia
    I never got into it because I found the shouting off putting. The characters just seem to shout their lines at each other and it damages my calm

  • Lord of the rings. I watched the whole trilogy of movies, and I tried to read the Hobbit. They're all so boring, I don't get the appeal.

    Breaking Bad. Well, the episodes I watched.

    Great characters and some interesting plotlines, but the whole thing revolving around drugs and their distribution has been a great put off. I found Better Call Saul more enjoyable for that same reason.

    Game of Thrones. There needs to be something positive, even just a sliver.

    I could not get into Andor despite really wanting to.

    The Witcher games. Everyone tells me how great they are and I have tried playing them, but it just feels like a chore and it never hooks me.

  • TW2's combat and overall gameplay I could stomach and even enjoy, but for some reason I could never do the same with TW3 (and RDD too, they just felt so slow). Which is a pity cause it looks like a great game if I could just get over its, well, gameplay. 🙃

    It’s kind of silly.

    I watched some. A lot? I don’t regret it, but I came away with the feeling I got dropping Supernatural: I’m not nearly done, yet I watched too much already.

    David Duchovney had a TV show called Californication that a lot of my friends liked and thought was funny. I didn't like it because, unlike Bojack, the "antics" of the main character was the punchline and I just thought it was very sad.

    Game of Thrones

    Tried multiple times, couldn't get into it.

    I did not like Baldur's Gate 3. I have tried multiple times now and I just don't like it.

    Same. Tried a few times and but the tough fights took so long I’d start getting impatient, especially when I kept losing and had to keep redoing them. People really love that game so feels like I’m missing out but I just couldn’t get into it.

    About Berserk, the comic is 10x more miserable, the show literally adapted the happiest part of the story

    I couldn't watch Berserk because of all the sexual violence. We are not the same.

    Titanic.

    That's the movie where they show his disgusting face all the time, but I can't stand his ugly frontside that totally ruins this otherwise good movie.

  • Ohhh, I get it about Berserk, although the "triumph" of will and goodness despite the Hellreaiser styled tragedy seen in the OG anime was enough for me to love it. Kinda traumatizing though, NGL.

    From what I've heard, Breaking Bad. I've talked about it before but I cannot follow a protagonist I dislike intensely, which in this case is due to his weakness, amorality, selfishness and sociopathy. Bro, either go to a real country and get treatment or just die, it's alright, no need to become a drug kingpin and have bodies on you unless you want to use your last moments on Earth to spread mayhem and lock that Hell ending for yourself. Even in the first few episodes I was just tired of this weak, pathetic man, and I couldn't stomach it. However, my wife and many other people have said nothing but good things about the show so I understand there's probably something to it, maybe the drama is interesting, maybe it's really well acted, maybe the sets are beautiful, idk, I didn't watch much.
