This was the first movie made by Quentin Tarantino that I watched. I didn’t know anything about the movie, apart from a handful of references I observed from memes.
The story was undoubtedly different from other movies yet in a way still entertaining. However I am unbeknownst to what the actual plot of this movie was supposed to be nor what was special about it to be considered so popular. Does the fact that it deviates from traditional storytelling in itself act as a selling point?
You have to roll back the clock to having seen Reservoir Dogs first which is also an excellent movie.
Pulp Fiction did what Reservoir Dogs did, but put it in a more commercial wrapper, meaning more people would watch and enjoy it.
I remember watching the Zed scene the first time and flashing back to this scene:

And thinking “Oh, holy hell, here we go!”
But as it turned out, the Zed scene wasn’t anywhere near as… visceral… as the scene from Reservoir Dogs.
