My dad wanted to show me Star Wars when I was young (11 or 12 maybe), but I was upset by the charred corpses in the first movie of the original trilogy, and the general violence, and we had to abort watching it.
I don't know how other people got into Star Wars as, like, elementary school kids, or think that it's childish.

I want to say it's a cultural stance towards violence in media but that doesn't feel right, because I know lots of people in my country who have watched Star Wars at a young age too. Maybe I was just easily upset; still am, really.

Granted, but you feel an overwhelming sense of guilt. You realise you wasted a wish.

But... that's when I regret it!

I wish I can travel through time

Granted. Nothing changes; you keep traveling forward in time at a constant speed.

I wish I had two healthy, happy rabbits as pets.

honestly there are so many "safe spaces for furries and weebs" out there that I think a fansite would actually be a cooler idea than either of those! communities are a dime a dozen and are hard to manage, but fansites are pretty rare and showcase what exactly you like about something. I'd say go for that.

I just started playing Skyward Sword on Switch.

Oh this fills me with pain. I got this for my birthday after begging for it about half a year long, and then the first dungeon had a pretty realistically moving sp//er in it that jumpscares you from the ceiling. I threw my wiimote across the room, screamed and never touched it again. I let down a lot of people that day including myself.

mouse

Granted. You freeze time an-...


...


Yeah.

I wish I won't regret this wish.

Spikes

My dad really likes it (he says he's a klingon due to his baldness)

Klingons'... baldness?

Heya!

(TL:grin:R below)

I noticed that I was one of the only people in my social group who were just not that much into anime. There was no particular reason for it, it just didn't catch on with me; plus the social stigma weighed down on me when I was younger, so I never bothered to try either.

I have since watched two seasons of Overlord, the entirety of Made in Abyss, most of Assassination Classroom, two seasons of Tokyo Ghoul, and started some that I only really got caught on for a few episodes before stopping: Haikyu!!, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and some others.

From those examples (with the exception of Haikyu!!), I inferred that anime was mostly based on gore & horror, absurdist/random loud cartoon humor, tense and heartbreaking scenes, fan service, and impressive action shots; things that I cannot really stand in media much. So, I never got further into anime.

But yesterday I started watching Cowboy Bebop (blind, for the first time), and holy hell, that completely caught me off guard! Atmosphere, art direction, music choice, all absolutely on point, on levels I haven't expected from any anime really. I just figured that I missed a lot by categorically being on the low about anime.

And that gave me the idea for this topic - along with the fact that I never watched Star Wars, Jurassic Park, or any of the big title movies really.

TL:grin:R:

So... what are genres or franchises you did not "get into" despite everyone else seemingly being familiar with them; and how come? I specifically don't mean genres or franchises you dislike, but those which you just knew existed without really engaging with them. And if you see that someone else never got into your fandom, well, try convincing them of why it is actually worth seeing! ;P

adventure

Granted, but the world is moving away from the road and onto the rail, leaving you with a useless vehicle in just a few years.

I wish everyone in the world turned into cute lil bunnies overnight.

Granted, but your winning streaks lead to investigations that accidentally end up uncovering a giant unrelated fixed-lottery cheating conspiracy, banning the entire practice nationwide.

I wish I could beat Magnus Carlsen in chess.
