I have a few: Star Wars, Star Trek, MCU.
For a moment I was looking at the ear and wondering what kind of mutated creature that was. You cannot convince me that on first glance, if you miss the actual eyes, that the ears don’t look somewhat like an eye.
CSI (and other shows that distort the public’s understanding of the criminal justice system—see the CSI effect).
Copaganda in general can just go away.
Do you really want the public to be aware of how shitty the reality is?
I mean here in Germany e.g the reality is that our justice system is overloaded and many criminals can get away because the courts have more cases than they can handle.
I prefer that the wide public doesn’t know that we could already live in anarchy to some degree…
Good news: CSI: Vegas got cancelled last year.
I remember watching Detective Conan in the Mandarin dub as a kid. Don’t remember much of it now. I looked it up recently, and apparantly it has been running since the 1990s? Still ongoing… yea I don’t trust anything that runs for that long, probably quality of the story went downhill if I had to guess. I have no idea how it’s even possible to run a concept for 2 decades+ without it eventually getting repetative and boring. I was curious about what the ending would be, but it never ends.
Don’t wanna watch something that goes on forever.
The Simpsons. Used to be sensational but isn’t anymore.
It’s gone from losing my interest 20 years ago to flat out unwatchable. I saw an episode from the most recent season and it was neither funny nor interesting to watch. It’s sad that one of the funniest shows ever has been past its prime for so long it’s now an animated corpse of what it once was.
Omg I read “sensational” as a bad thing is it one of those words now
Only on a sensationalist kind of way.
funny thing is Im pretty sure the last one I watched was worth watching but I no longer watch over the air real time and it was not streaming in an easy enough to do fashion so just sorta fell out of watching it.
Call of Duty and Pokémon.
I saw a commercial for the newest Pokemon game and up until it said it was exclusively for Switch 2, I hella thought it was some F2P mobile garbage. When your ads don’t even make the newest game look good, it’s definitely time to stop.
Bond.
Half of the plot points from all the movies have been enacted, attempted or discussed in the first year of Trump’s presidency by his cabinet, handlers, backers or string-pullers or funders. Fictional supervillains as entertainment are a distraction, dangerously so when the real thing is happening as we speak.
Jurassic Park, the last like 5 have been the same rehashed ideas along with “big dinosaur how we kill it?”
Jurassic Park is one of my most favourite movies ever. Although they come not even close to the first one, I still rewatch 2 and 3 from time to time. But Jurassic World is a disaster for me. The second one was already so bad that it caused losing my whole interest for the World franchise.
I still cannot believe how much they butchered this franchise and the initial vision for the book and the movie.
I can’t agree more with this. Wtf are they thinking.
They are thinking that they have made billions of dollars, so why stop now?
Simpsons
You know what’s crazy? The show has existed for my entire life (I’m 36), but I’ve only seen like 5 episodes ever. And the movie.
When I was around 6 or 7ish, i was just getting into stuff like that and had seen the show a couple times. Then my grandma saw some thing on the news or at church or something and ranted about the show so much, about how vulgar and terrible it was. So my mom decided I shouldn’t be allowed to watch it. I was an obedient child, so I didn’t watch it. Then my older friend introduced me to South Park a year or two later, and mom hadn’t said anything about that show… I never really got interested in The Simpson again after that.

McDonalds.
Mcdonalds food taste so bad nowadays.
If I don’t like something, I just don’t watch it. It doesn’t bother me if others enjoy it.
That’s fine for drama and written TV. But nah, reality TV ruined the world.
The Real World and Cribs on MTV led to Big Brother and Survivor - which as well as popularizing the format and leading to endless trash, led to The Apprentice, which revived Donald Trump’s image and brand and convinced millions of really dumb people that he’d make a good president.
In the good parallel timelines, the execs that suggested reality TV were laughed at and it never came up again. MTV still plays great music videos all day, the History channel actually talks about history, and barely anyone outside of the US knows the name ‘Kardashian’ or ‘Donald Trump’.
The problem is that reality TV is inevitable. People, generally speaking, like to know what other people are doing. Or like to see other people react to things.
The first “reality TV” program was Candid Camera, which technically got its start as “Candid Microphone”, all in the late 1940s. Of course things evolved from there into our current “reality TV” situation.
The real problem is that the line between “entertainment” and “reality” has gotten blurrier and blurrier. When we watch Godzilla we know that’s just entertainment, we know a giant lizard creature isn’t walking down the street.
It’s also funny that you mention MTV because realistically MTV should have died out years ago. In the same way that video killed the radio star, the Internet killed the video star. Why would I turn on the TV and hope the video I wanted to watch was on, when I could just go on the Internet and see it now. Of course MTV the television station wants to keep making money, so they pivoted hard into reality TV.
When we watch Godzilla we know that’s just entertainment, we know a giant lizard creature isn’t walking down the street.
Wait, what?
You need to learn from the IWC. No one hates wresting more than wrestling fans

At least we stuck to one solid trilogy and then stopped. Well, aside from the fanfic.
You mean the Bible is really a trilogy and the book of Mormon is return of the jedi? I’m interested.
