I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

The original Star Wars movies were probably really good and genre defining in the late 70s, but they're just boring and campy now.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug

Old things used to be good, now they're not so good if you compare them with the new things.

Same with original Star Trek. I love Trek, but that shit is unwatchable. I read the novels to get the context to better enjoy TNG and after, I can't hand the godawful sound effects and William Shatner's smug mug. How are there so many episodes based around how "attractive" that man is?!

I accept this. I saw these when they premiered- like lining up outside the theatre and everyone cheering, etc. That was in middle school and high school and it was a true experience at the time. So, I’ll always have a soft spot for them, but you’re basically correct.
