Re: What movie/game/tv trends are you sick of?

I'll always hate online multiplayer games, and I desperately wish game companies would stop prioritizing them over story-driven single-player games. Microtransactions are always going to be awful, too, so let's stop making that a trend while we're at it?

I also can't stand how prominent the MCU is right now. I guess it might work in comics, but I'll always think it's nothing but an all-around terrible idea to force every single film/tv show in your franchise to share the same universe. It ruins things for people who don't want to waste time watching dozens of films they're not interested in just to understand what's going on in the ones they might otherwise like, and makes those same otherwise decent movies that much worse if they're forced to incorporate annoying characters/plot points/histories that the other, badly-written films came up with. The ensemble films are such a mess, too -- adding too many characters to your cast just because you have the budget for it is a bad fucking idea, since it just means nobody (other than Iron Man, apparently) will ever get any genuine focus at all. It's all way too much.
