What winds you up about TV/movies?

[Chicken Drummer]

I would say

tv adverts.

[exochaft]

ANYTHING but TV adverts, because I don't watch TV.

This thread is gonna go places, because if only tv adverts turn you off and not shitty stories, actors or execution, you are beyond redemption ^^

Haha, I wasn't sure if the use of the "winds you up" idiom was drives you nuts or keeps you constantly engaged. Only the Super Bowl used to have good and entertaining advertisements, so that would be a positive twist on the theme. Where those specific commercials are now would be the negative version of the phrase.

Assuming negative: it's when a show establishes itself with good stories, good acting, and caters to everyone across the spectrum... then go full woke and/or political later while throwing out all the good things that brought in the fans to the show, alienating their core fans in the process. Cherry on top is when the creators of the "new and improved" version of the show tell their original fans to sod off if they don't like how the show was changed. At that point, shows stop being entertainment for the mass... and more like a platform spouting out political stump speeches. So many good or potentially good shows and series ruined by this.

"Love" scenes. Most of them are irrelevant to the stories and are shoehorned in for cheap titillation, like that fucking awful Spartacus TV show. We have porn for that if you're that much of a horndog.

Love is a part of the human condition. My dislike of the trend of purging love stories from everything has grown quite a bit. Its stupid to separate it out from a story. Its starting to feel trendy like wearing crocs trendy.

When seven seasons of a TV show are absolutely brilliant, and then you shit all over everything on the 8th.

Looking at you, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss

[Queen of Hamsters]

When shows are just cancelled without finishing them. Looking at you, Netflix.

[Kyphael]

When filmmakers take creative liberties with source material to the detriment of the story. It's right. Fucking. There. Just adapt the shit! Very few times are changes done for the better.

Except Stephen King. That guy is a fucking lunatic. Really? The girl had sex with ALL the boys in the sewer after they defeated Pennywise the first time? SMH.

Groups splitting up in extremely dangerous situations. So basically like every third episode of TWD.

Also, character deaths for the sake of shock value. Which the showrunners on TWD have openly said they do. "Its shocking how many people die in the finale!"

Oh, and I hate when sitcoms take especially awful real-life problems/trends/news and use them for comedy bits. "Haha, lets joke about pedophiles, that's funny right?"

UGH. I hate that.

The worst is probably when I am excited to see something, only to be disappointed when I finally get to watch it. I've grown quite cynical over indie and foreign movies. It's a constant disappointment due to the undeserved reviews, and these practices bury the actually good movies in those genres. Movies that deal with social issues or meet certain quotas suffer the same fate.

[Miyagie]

Cliffhanger at the end of season 1 and that season 2 gives you the ending of season 1 with 6-10 episodes to fill the void.

UGH. I hate that.

Brenda in Scary Movie 2 did a great job poking fun at that.

Dwight Hartman: Let's split up.

Brenda Meeks: Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh UH! Now wait a minute, hold up! How come when anytime this scary shit happens, and we should stick together, you white people always say "let's split up"?

Then Dwight goes and chooses all the white people to follow him, leaving Brenda and the Wayans brothers alone.

Hahaha I remember that!

[Aphrel]

political propaganda.

Just keep that shit away from my movies. Your not making your political point any better any better, youre just making the movie worse.

[Fencers]

I dislike it when a series has filler episodes or drags on for too long. Generally, I think most series ought to be a 1-3 season and 8-10 episodes a season.

I have seen 45-minute films communicate more ideas and emotions effectively than some of these '12 seasons, 23 episodes a season' behemoths manage in like 60-100 hours of bullshit.

Mean and lean, all killer/no filler storytelling is my pumpkin pie. Editing bays ought to be treated like slaughterhouses.

[Daedius]

Films or series that force in romance... like that recent Dune trailer.

Ya'know Paul marries Shani, right?

[cface]

Any kind of woke shit or high morale is instant turn off. And females who fights like ass but acts like they're terminator and trying to keep their voice deep, but I guess woke goes into that category, cause females in history never needed to act like this to fuck everyone up.

[newt0n]

Forced political ideologies of the director(s). They often make no sense to the plot and are just pushing an agenda. That and needless romance. Romantic movies are fine, but movies where they force romance into the story but it serves no purpose and drives no plot, ugh

This is the worst. I know people that will only watch a series after its finished just so they get a proper conclusion.

[McNeil]

Unnecesary filler. I'd much prefer a movie lasting 2 hours instead of 2.5 if it means that I won't have to fall asleep halfway in because they had to fill in the gap and they ran out of story material, so they just fill it up with something like boring conversations with characters nobody cares about. Same goes for TV shows who make entire episodes where nothing interesting happens and its just there to somehow build up for the grand finale. I don't want to feel bored if I watch a movie or show, thats where I tune out and do something else while I wait for all the filler stuff to be over.
