When I tell people I’ve never seen the Lion King they are really baffled by that.

    Game of Thrones. I once started episode 1 but then had to interrupt and go somewhere and found it too boring to give it another try at first. Then the entire internet was full with with GoT and spoilers for it so I was too annoyed to try it again

    I hate to admit it because there’s no real reason but I have never seen The Godfather. I’ve gone almost 50 years and still haven’t sat down to watch it, or the sequels. I want to I just keep forgetting to.

    I can’t think of too many I haven’t watched at all. Plenty I have seen a few episodes from and just didn’t get into. Although, many of these I should give another go because they, supposedly, got better later on. Such as The Expanse and Star Trek: Picard.

    GOT I didn’t get into right away because, at the time it came out, I didn’t know shit about the book series and the ads made it look like another HBO show going at the time I was watching called Rome, but with a medieval Europe style instead of the Roman stuff so I was like “I don’t really want to watch two historical fictions at once when this one is already hella dense.” Had I known it was a fantasy, with magic and shit, I would have started it much sooner.

    Most of I haven’t seen a single episode of is before my time. Like Dallas or My Mother the Car (was that one even popular or just really stupid? 🤔) Although I have never seen The Wire or 24 nor have I known a single person IRL who liked them.

    I consume media like a fiend. Ever since I discovered piracy as a lad, there’s nothing out of reach to at least check out.

    i’ve also never seen the lion king, or the jungle book, the little mermaid–but popular media being what it is, i have still absorbed numerous songs from them.

    i have also never watched any star wars movies other than the original three movies (during their initial theatrical runs, and never again since), and only a few of the marvel and dc movies.

    Movie - Titanic. It has simply never appealed.

    TV - any popular reality show. They are just not my thing.

    I’d tell you about the popular movie I haven’t seen, but the first rule says I can’t talk about it.

    I haven’t seen any super hero movie since the first spiderman with Tobey Maguire.

    Well, no serious one. I’ve watched Deadpool and Kickass.

      I bet you’d like The Boys if you like stuff like Kickass. It’s a show that takes the piss out of the concept of superheros but at the same time takes the concept very seriously and has some fantastic character-driven stories.

    Many of them, but one show that people sometimes nag me about is “Friends”. Not going to watch it either, doesn’t seem even remotely worth my time.

    The Godfather. And I don’t really plan on seeing it because I don’t like the genre or those tropes.

    I hear good things about How I Met Your Mother but I’m too lazy to pillage it. Arrgh!
