I tried to read the Twilight saga when my friend bought the books when they came out. My mom even read them with her so I was excited since we kind of did young adult fiction book club unofficially, but every time I'd try to read it it felt like I was reading something written by someone who hadn't finished college. I don't know if I'm describing this the right way, but it was written in such a sloppy manner that I couldn't get past the first few chapters. I watched the movies later and found them to be extremely dull as well. I only watched because Rami Malek is in them.

>but it gets good after 12 hours in! You're just impatient!
1: not really. It goes from utter fucking borefest to just mediocre.
2: even if it did, that wouldn't be a valid excuse. If I wanted to watch shitty arthouse movies, I'd watch shitty arthouse movies. I'd get the same experience and those would be cheaper and shorter.

Nona virtually no one uses that thread and it's not quite the same thing. This isn't necessarily for most hated media. Just media we found dull.

I had a gift card long ago from my previous company that was about to expire right before games I was waiting for were released so I bought three games at the time including Dragon Quest 11. It was so boring I couldn't make it past the prologue. I think I stopped playing after the MC and the guy with spiky blue hair escape prison and jump off a cliff to avoid being captured. I looked up what the story was about, saw it was very generic and boring as well and sold my copy of the game. I know the whole point of the series is to be the blueprint for JPRGs so it was going to be a generic game anyway but the battle system was nothing to write about, unless I missed something that happens later and that make battles a lot more fun. If the timing were a bit better I would have ordered another game instead.

british soap operas. casts of borderline retarded characters getting into bullshit drama, shot and edited in a way that seems designed to lobotomise the viewers. if they embraced the fact that they're pure shit and went for a full spectacle i'd forgive them, but soaps are hung up on being a kind of public service/social good that raises awareness of whatever issues the writers have chosen to plod through that week, so fat chance of them actually trying to entertain you over the preaching. drives me up the fucking wall that I have to watch them while visiting family.

They USED to be funny and trashy like that, but now they have delusions of grandeur and they've gone boring

Star Wars. I watch so many movies, but I have never been able to finish a single Star Wars movie in my life. So many people have thought they could "turn me" and have forced me to try watching it with them, but I always end up falling asleep. It is genuinely the most boring piece of media to me and I'm starting to believe some people only say they like them out of some sort of nerd snobbery.

I found Baldur’s Gate really, really, really fucking boring. I wish I didn’t spend $60 on it just because I got swept up in the hype.

People literally only like Star Wars for nostalgia reasons. I’m a complete unapologetic Star Wars freak and I know they are mid. They are goofy kids movies and nothing more

I like Star Wars but I really didn't get the hype for a bunch of the more recent TV shows like Andor and Ahsoka. There are so many drawn out shots of people just standing around and talking about junk nobody cares about and the characters are deeply uninteresting. Even when there's a high stakes situation I'm just thinking so what, let him die lol. Mandalorian was the only one that I liked.
I think it might be like >>515226 says, they always worked best as wacky space fights for kids and the new stuff trying to be all serious and emotional just falls flat. They're very obviously trying to capitalize on nostalgia from a more mature audience but it just doesn't work for me because I don't want to watch "old iconic character reflects on themes of war trauma with a team of literal whos", I want to see wacky space fights

I don't remember ANYTHING from the Star Wars movies but they were a big deal when I as in middle/elementary school, so it was always things like bday parties at a movie screening or trying to be the first kid to see one of the prequel movies when it premiered. But a couple years ago when I told my mom I didn't actually care about the movies that much she said she hated having to watch them at the theater because they were so boring kek

I really didn't connect with the characters. Same with Cyberpunk 2077. Most of them just felt so… stock. Kinda one-note archetypes.

I liked the setting and the driving and the music and the overall production value, but yeah the characters all felt like stock photos. I never beat it and don't feel inspired to. The sequel is being made by an American branch of CDPR, which I am actually quite intrigued by. I feel like Americans are best equipped to make satire about themselves tbh.

Ive only watched one Star Wars movie years ago, so I cant really say, but I've always found the scifi genre as a whole boring. I was always more of a fantasy person. I guess its also that I just find scifi aesthetics cold and harsh whereas fantasy settings feel warm and cozy.

I agree, I find most movies with a male lead boring as well

Same. I remember only some fragments of 2003 version because it was aired on TV. Unfunny jokes on first episodes don't hook me enough

It's funny when you're 12 years old and that's the target audience. I loved FMA, the manga and the first anime, as a kid and the manga ended when I was in my first or second year of high school. I think I would have a very different opinion if I decided to read it again now as a adult, especially because what made me love it was how mysterious everything was and how you slowly get more and more explanations and plot twists. I guess it would be as boring as reading an intense murder mystery a second time when you still remember who the culprit is.

Twin Peaks. On paper it seems like something i'd enjoy, i'd definitely enjoyed things inspired by it. But no, i didn't like Twin Peaks at all. (yes, i watched the whole thing and won't change my mind)

Not sure if it was just burnout from HP being everywhere while growing up but I completely lost interest in Harry Potter after reading Order of the Phoenix. I tried reading Half Blood Prince and the magic was gone.I am not a troon or a JKR hater.
