I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

I don’t like to take it too seriously.

I am a massive Star Wars fan and cannot understand people who expect it to be high cinema. It's a series about space wizards and WW2-style air battles. Like all fantasy/SF, it is occasionally commentary on real-world stuff, but it isn't trying to be Star Trek. Things are allowed to just be fun

Yeah to me though it was self derivative. It's not high cinema sure, but I watched episode 4, you don't have to repeat it with celebrity cameos and better CGI.

I'm totally ok with the fan service. It ain't Shakespeare and I'm cool with that.
