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.

    I can’t make it more than an hour though the first Lord Of The Rings without falling asleep. It just doesn’t fancy me.

    I have bookshelves full of Superman comics, graphic novels, books, basically anything in print I can get my hands on. And I’ve read every last one of them. I grew up on Christopher Reeve Superman films and will still watch all 4 of them. I’ve watched the old Fleischer cartoons, Super Friends, the 90s animated series, and all Justice League shows. I own the entire Smallville series on DVD. I was one of the dozen or so people who subscribed to DC streaming service before Max. And I’ve watched every Superman movie and TV show that came out in the last 25 years.

    I’ve never gone back and watched Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. There is no reason I’ve never watched it other than I just haven’t gotten around to it.

    I’ve never seen 2001: Space Odyssey, I already tried watching it multiple times, but always end up falling asleep.

    Similarly, I’ve never managed to finish Firefly, usually watch a couple of episodes and forget about it.

    Also up until very recently (less than 2 years ago) I had never played any Call of Duty games.

    I’ve yet to watch Schindler List. I feel like it’s signing up for feeling bad for 2 hours 😕

    I’m also big into Sci-fi, and have yet to watch the OG Star Treks, Stargate, Babylon 5, or Dr. Who

    Not quite what you are asking, but the first time I saw the video from 9-11 of a plane crashing into a building was around 2014-2015 when I moved to NYC. The people I was working with there couldn’t seem to believe that I had never seen it.

    I’ve never seen Lost, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or any of the rest of the mandatory drama television genre. I gave up partway through watching Battlestar Galactica and kinda just stopped watching television.

    For awhile there, the only non-technical conversation I could have was “Did you see Game of Thrones last night?” “No, I don’t watch that show.” “Oh. Bye.” Humanity’s ability to talk about anything except heartburn drama television for the last decade and a half kind of weaned me off of socializing.

    I have two of yours. honestly I just don’t care what I might have or not seen. there is just to much that flies by to fast in modern times and everything is fractured. Everything that is a thing now likely was never watched by a majority of people. its not like when the broadcasters were the only game in town. even with cable their stuff was seen by more eyeballs because it was available. I remember folks who felt it was a badge of honor to not see stuff everyone has seen. like its a wonderful life.

    I haven’t watched a lot of movies in general, be it mainstream or indie. Completely my own fault, since I’m built different when it comes to setting up a roadblock for myself, in that regard.

    I know it’s been out forever and a day, but Prometheus being in the Alien canon is kind of a spoiler.

    I never watched Game of Thrones. I only watched the very last episode because the friends decided it’d be fun to watch, and even then I was disappointed lol

    I also never read any books based on any RPG or other games (D&D, World of Darkness, 40k)

      They only made 4 seasons of Game of Thrones. Really wished they had made more, but what can you do?
