Re: What media was recommended to you, that you ended up hating?
The Game of Thrones books. I've tried the books and audiobooks but I just cannot get into them.
Re: What media was recommended to you, that you ended up hating?
(Anonymous) 2018-01-16 01:59 am (UTC)(link)Wait, the movie or the show? I found the movie bad; I found the show unwatchable (judging solely by the first three episodes).
But then, I adore Lily Collins. Like, I don't even know why, I just saw her and my brain immediately went, "She is perfect; you love her and you want to be her." So I kind of vaguely enjoyed Mortal Instruments for that reason, despite it being terrible. Also, at least the movie had enough of a budget to semi-successfully pull off its special effects, unlike the show which looks like a reject from the 90's.

(Anonymous) 2018-01-16 02:23 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, the guys in the show are hot, I will say that. I'm just...mostly ace? So eye candy on its own isn't really a motivating factor for me.
Re: What media was recommended to you, that you ended up hating?
I just...didn't get Mortal Instruments at all. I didn't understand cutting a demon away from a child or why you'd want to/gain from it. It wasn't like the demon was attached physically to the human. To me, it was the equivalent of stealing a kid's pet. A shitty thing to do, but not something I'd call evil...or worth centering a whole novel/series around.I also 2nd your GoT comment. There were too much space between character chapters, and I'd forget what the last thing was that they were doing. And it was boring. The stakes seemed pretty meh.

Although I think it's unfair to judge my preteen self so rudely. Perhaps ~12 years later, I'd enjoy and appreciate it more.

(Anonymous) 2018-01-16 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)I mean, the idea that daemons are pretty close to being a person's literal actual soul is kinda central to the whole series. so I can understand why it wouldn't impress you if you didn't get that.

(Anonymous) 2018-01-16 05:57 am (UTC)(link)The shows are more appealing simply for the pretty people and the ability to fast forward anything too boring.
