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.
