Do you have any unpopular opinions???VOL....2

[heelsandeers]

I think there is something to having to wait/building up expectations for certain types of shows/episodes

Vs being able to run through an entire season or series in a matter of days or weeks

Shows like Seinfeld, Curb, etc don't really fall into that . Talking more the Wire, Sopranos, GoT types

 

[ahat]

Whenever you do get around to watching The Wire don’t let them trick you into thinking season 2 is so groundbreaking. It sucks. But there’s thesis in the Official Wire thread trying to justify it.

Lies

Whenever you put people on to ill shows and watch it with them, like 70% of the time it don't hit like you expect it to. Like damn no reaction to that scene? Internet talked about it for a month.

Bill Burr is not funny.

As far as hype shows turning people away b we cause everyone is talking about them at the time is not obligated to engage with that fan base at all.

I've always kept my circle particularly tight because I too am prone to being turned off by the hype. Sometimes I avoid looking to engage with other fans online on purpose.

A good example for me is rick and morty. I enjoy that show but had no exposure to the fan base and how utterly toxic it was until my brother asked me to try and get him one of those mcdonalds promo posters a few years ago. Ever since, if I find out someone's a fan that I don't already know, I say absolutely nothing. I'm not going to let others' toxicity ruin my enjoyment of something.

Describe Rick and Morty's fan base. What is it about them?

 

[niceshoes247]

Probably just stoners

 

[red dune]

Nah not stoners. It's not the entire fan base of course but there's a sizable chunk that act like they're the smartest person in the room and they're the only ones who truly 'get' the show. They also use this false sense of mental superiority to justify acting like a********. They see rick as a paragon of virtue who is to be imitated rather than as the toxic character he is.

They can also be super entitled and there were tons of videos of them treating mcdonalds employees terriblely (throwing food, throwing fits on the register counter, threats) because they ran out of the posters.

Like I said, a piece of the wider fan base, but loud and toxic. You only have to meet one to make you want to avoid saying you're also a fan in public.

I never watched Breaking Bad in its entirety.

I watched a super cut of the whole series condensed into movie form.

You kinda described the hardcore fanbase of any show/genre.

I got you though.

This is so on point.

I’ve never caught an episode, ever. I’m eyeing the dvd set at a local thrift store though.

Edit: Just scooped them right now. They were half off so I just got each season for $1.50

Why? Just stream in HD with a streaming service you likely already have

I don’t use any streaming service, I hardly watch tv (except for sports) anymore. I like owning the physical media because I know they take shows off their service after time.

Kanye West' 15 minutes of fame was over 10 years ago. Young millennials and gen z refuse to let him fade away into obscurity.
