Cable “news”. It is entirely responsible for the current state of things.

Anything star trek after ST:Enterprise

The movies were all dumbed down pew pew flare flare versions of previous star trek movies, the series were horrendously dumb and badly written, in a show that is about the stories, ethics, morale, etc.

It was awful and the only shining light was the series "The Orville" by Seth McFarlane who is a huge star trek fan and it shows.

I cannot forgive the fact that we had two times of writer strikes. They literally make your gold. What the fuck are yall doing

Doctor Who going to Disney. I haven't even watched it. Maybe it's ok, but classic British shows never really survive getting Americanised. I lost interest about halfway through the Jodie Whittaker era - specifically The Timeless Child nonsense.

The original plan was to make two Hobbit movies, but after the release of the first one they decided to expand it to three. I think two movies would have been alright, although the whole thing was way too intense and violent and digital.

The Enders Game movie. Just WTF, every part of it was worse than the book.

Except possibly Harrison Ford. He is great as a gruff arsehole, past his prime, but still awesome.

Just looked it up on IMDb, how can it possibly have a 6.6?

Battlestar Galactica, and any other time the writers are just writing down the rabbit hole without having any clue what story they're going to tell. The writers of Battlestar introduced one mystery after another and worked to sell the audience on the belief that they were going somewhere good with all this. They had jack shit and I'm not getting that time back.

Some other offenders:

Star Wars sequels: how the fuck did that get greenlit for like a billion dollars without any living soul knowing what the plot was gonna be

Mulholland Drive: fuck you David Lynch, explain this shit or GTFO. If I want dream logic I'll go to sleep

Lost: J J Abrams you spoiled little rich kid fuckass

Times that didn't happen:

Andor: just an adamantine brick shithouse of storytelling

I have so much trouble excusing anything with the Hobbit though.

The song "I see fire" was good, if you think of it singing about a volcano eruption/nuke instead of Smaugh.

Are videogames media also ye? Cause I can think of many many examples that I could honestly just do a new post about it
