I feel exactly the same way about superhero comic-book based summer blockbusters. Everyone goes on and on and blah blah blah about how great they are, Batman this and Ironman that and OMG there's a new MCU movie! They are all lame. All of them, save Nolan's Dark Knight, because that actually had a history-book-worthy performance from Ledger. The stories are, indeed, "suckfests of crap." I saw CG reach its peak many, many years ago, so the effects are nothing new to me. The main superhero character brooding about how sad and depressed they really are, despite the fact that they put on the suit / mask / cape and fight for good - yeah, seen that a million times too. The secret hide-out. We saved the world. Here, check out my cool utility suit / belt / mask. It's been done and done to death.
So, I just don't watch those movies anymore. I don't care if "everyone else" says they are great; I don't like them.
I also don't like coffee or alcohol at all (I don't mind the effects of alcohol but I cannot stand the taste), so that puts me far outside of the "what most people enjoy" group.
Sometimes you need to do you, and whatever "most other people" are doing be damned.
Good luck in your future gaming!
