Harry Potter is a story about a liberal who is totally chill with slavery if it benefits him, who props up systems enforcing racism against "muggles" (but its ok his close friend is basically a muggle), and who aspires to (and eventually becomes) a cop.

And that ain't even getting into the transphobia


And Lord of the Rings is just White Savior. and basically responsible for the kingmaker trope being used in like every work of fantasy ever written.


God, The Sims.

Its like how many pieces can we break a game into and still get people to buy it.

Like on its own its barely a game and then you have to get 5 million DLC just to make it worthwhile.

Though if you are a pirate I think Sims is cool, though it ain't my bag.


Wait, Cars as in the cartoon movie?

Everyone I talk to hates Cars.

Like it isn't underrated its pretty well hated.


God who even writes Grey's Anatomy?

Shit is so heavy handed.

I agree that pirates of the Caribbean is overrated tho I was absolutely taking notes when Jack stole earrings with his mouth.

No because of thor ragnarok and guardians and there were only a couple of MCU movies I couldn't finish (iron man 2, eternals), while everything else on the list is at least 50% unwatchable. It is overrated af tho but not complete garbage thanks to gunn and Waititi who made legit great movies

The Sims

Hey, take that back! I enjoy my pirated and heavily modded copies of TS1-3 very much, thank you

I guess I can see some value in a boredom simulator as social commentary

Boredom simulator? More like sociopathic god simulator. I mod the games to add more ways of killing people because I've tried every other method already. I make wacky characters and even more wacky houses designed to kill its occupants.

The right way to play.

first it starts with removing the ladder from the swimming pool.

I don't know why the sims can't get out of a swimming pool without a ladder.

Than we watch them slowly swim till exhaustion.

Then we trap a sim in a room with no exit.

Then we orchestrate elaborate house fires.

This culminates until we have killed everyone, even death itself.

Doctor Who (reboot)

Since Eccleston?

ziq OP wrote (edited )

i loved eccleston's 13 episodes, some of tennant's run (though I think he's super overrated as a Doctor and Rose is a subpar companion) and I thought matt smith was the best doctor ever with the best companion ever in amy pond (but they were cursed with a lot of horrible scripts). After that, there was no redeeming quality and each successive season became more and more unwatchable, doubling down on the worst elements of the reboot era and tainting the whole franchise. it's like transformers which had one amazing movie (Bumblebee), some good cartoons and a whole lot of unwatchable garbage that made the whole franchise irredeemable

Harry Potter

I can honestly say, I read (the first couple) of Harry Potter books before they became popular... But I never could understand why they became so popular.

James Bond

I don't think I've watched many, I think I remember a car chase with a tank.

Ted Lasso

Never heard of it.

Fast & Furious

Never watched, but thought it was weird that there a new Disney Junior series, maybe I just don't know what it's about.

Lord of the Rings

I was able to skip reading this in school because I said I had already read it (I actually got bored and did not finish) instead I got to read Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy... Which I had actually already read, but read again.

Pirates of the Caribbean

Never watched

Doctor Who

I haven't watched anything made after 2000.

Jurassic World

I watched parts of the Lego Jurassic World series... It wasn't too bad, it was cancelled after one season.

Transformers

I haven't watched anything made after 2000... Maybe some bits of episodes, but not the movies.

Top Gun

Does Hot Shots count... Otherwise, I haven't seen it.

Cars

Cars 3 is really weird. A kids movie about accepting that you're getting old.

The West Wing

Never seen it

Call of Duty

Shoddy rip off of other FPS available... but on consoles. I will never understand how this became popular.

Schnitts Creek

Never heard of it

The Sims

I haven't played in a long time, is it even worth mentioning these days?

Fortnight

Shoddy Rip off of Shoddy Rip off, but on Phones too. Never actually played it or seen it played.

Grey's Anatomy

Never watched it

Downton Abbey

Never watched it

The Big Bang Theory

Never watched it

Twilight

I feel that this is better just forgotten. I did watch the first movie, with someone that thought it was good... I hoped it'd be laughable bad, but while it had moments it was just boring... I think I fell asleep.

I agree with the LOTR franchise being overrated and a cow money for studios, but I really think the Jackson trilogy is good.
