Just as examples:

  • I’ve never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
  • I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn’t realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
  • Oh, and I’ve never seen the “hawk tuah” video.

    Star Wars. I saw maybe 20 minutes of one film of the original trilogy, and 10 minutes of one film of the second trilogy, none of the rest. It’s beyond me.

      I agree. If I want to watch proper space shenanigans with Muppets targeting a more adult audience, I’ll watch Farscape.

        Oh Farscape <3 <3 <3

        The show that taught me English because I couldn’t wait for the subtitles back then! I rewatch it every couple of years, what a fantastic show! It was a long wait to get a proper conclusion when Season 5 was cancelled.

          How did learning English from a show known for inventing fictional alien slang words go? Were you dropping “frell” and “yotz” into conversations?

      As an adult I have watched some films, not all of them and not sure which, but I still don’t really like it. It’s like a zoo show for kids in space. I really don’t get the appeal for an adult.

      I do plan on playing the Kotor games, maybe that would change my mind a bit.

        Those and The Mandalorian would probably be more up your alley as an adult. Also I’m sure folks will want to include Andor on that list, but I found it to be boring mostly.
