    Not specific to this place but basically all media just gets shit on for a month after it's out. I'll watch a super hero movie or whatever idc. It's fine. I'm not expecting a life changing experience from a movie or a show. I'll just play the "oh what we're they in" game if I get bored. I guess cowboy bebop is the most recent one that comes to mind

            evaluating the movie on criteria that have nothing to do with how enjoyable it is to watch

            Being a critic means evaluating a piece of media based on all criteria, including enjoyability. Part of the reason why people are more "negative" about films these days is because they are often viewed through streaming services/based piracy at home, detached from the inherently enjoyable communal buzz and the enhanced audiovisual experience of seeing a film in theatre on the big screen.

            i don't think that's a bad thing. ruining enjoyment from cowboy films about shooting indians is good. ruining enjoyment from misogynist & creepy treatments of sex in film is good. ruining enjoyment from advertisement & propaganda is good.

            that we do it all the time is an expression of how ineffectual we are but :shrug-outta-hecks:

          Or you could not gamify your viewing habits. Optimizing the quality of what you are going to watch can make sense, but also is not what I would call healthy. You are creating expectations of your downtime

              Media habits are not the same as eating healthy. Watching shlock is not going to give you diabetes. Media is media, you don't need to pressure yourself to view everything you consume as a missed opportunity to consume something else. That goes for life in general, don't treat failures or imperfect experiences as a mistake and psych yourself out. Watching Iron Man when you could watch Godfather is not a waste of time, you cannot calculate if you would have enjoyed one instead of the other in that moment. just enjoy what you feel like in that 2 hours and dont fret about it. You would enjoy very little if you considered each tv episode you watched or film based on if objectively there is a more enjoyable or "better" classic you could be watching instead.

              Decisions around recreational activates can be done spur of the moment or without much consideration or pressure from what is "better". Your logic is not how everyone else approaches recreation, if they enjoy what they enjoy then so be it. Nothing wrong with watching dumbshit instead of superior classics if thats what you want to do.

        I think that was my advantage i really didn't remember most of the original other than it was a thing I enjoyed. People who were really unto it seemed mad. I don't think I could've handled an Ed season 2 like they wanted. that character was rough in the live action

            They set it up for season 2 being the Ed season so you mostly got the spike and faye storyline this season with a little Ed towards the end
