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!
Preach, I feel like Western entertainment ( which essentially means US entertainment since it's so localized there ) is so extremely stale and boring.
Japanese games and entertainment tho still feels exciting and diverse, Western entertainment feels like it was made in a board room ( probably because it often was ).

With that said, the usual yearly releases are still top sellers and people go out and watch the same movies over and over again.
I might be really tired of the same sad dad story and burly muscle man and remakes but it appeals to a ton of people.
For me tho it's just dull.

I really do wish tho that the West expanded more... Because holy crap...
Anime and Manga is a good example of this, it's so insanely more expansive and diverse than Western comics and animations are.
Not saying there is no variety but it's nowhere even remotely on the same level.
Both for good and bad, if you can think of it there's probably a ton of Manga or Anime of it.
Can't really say the same about comics and Western animation.
