[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 9309620, member: 19675"] I haven’t been interested in a Star Wars movie, TV show or game since I saw [I]The Phantom Menace.[/I] I hated that movie so much, I almost started giving it the MST3K treatment in the theater. I love superheroes, but stopped collecting comics in the late 1990s. I watched several of the TV shows that popped up over the following years, and even caught a few of the movies. But the last 2 supers movies I saw in theaters were [I]Iron Man[/I] and [I]The Avengers[/I]. I watched several seasons of The Flash, but didn’t finish it, and never watched a single episode of the other DC shows on The CW. For that matter, I also drop any TV show that goes to a pay channel. And I don’t watch “sneak peaks” for shows that will not be on broadcast/regular cable, nor do I watch free trials for pay channels. I know I’ve missed some good geeky shows- including ones I loved- but I’m not going to be pressured into spending money for TV above & beyond the basics. I enjoy some anime, but as the saying goes, “I ain’t married to it.” As for the current wave of geekdom cresting in the sea of pop culture? It doesn’t bother me, but my tastes are rarely reflected in what’s “hot” in the Nerdiverse. So, oddly, I sometimes feel like an outsider in this hobby I’ve been a part of since ‘77. [/QUOTE]
