Just as examples:
- I’ve never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
- I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn’t realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
- Oh, and I’ve never seen the “hawk tuah” video.
Game of Thrones maybe. To coin a phrase, “spare me the drama, and the incest.”
I love fantasy, it was right up my alley at the right time, but all the grit in GoT for me just resolves to alt-history Europe.
I’ve never seen or read Game of Thrones either, despite also being a big fantasy fan. I just never got around to it when it was popular, and after hearing how it collapsed in upon itself at the end I don’t feel the need to.
GoT’s rise to popularity is almost as crazy as its sharp fall into irrelevance.
I’ve read the books, and I had no intention of going through the pain again, watching the show.
