Hmm. I’m going to ignore Japanese things,because I was new to that in the last five years and I don’t have a good enough handle on their timeframe. Also leaving video games out, I could find plenty.
Movies, well, idk maybe Dunkirk and The Mule. There’s not much. I used to take my friends teen kid to Saturday afternoon movies a ton in the 2012-14 timeframe, he was going thru some stuff and it was a nice break, so I saw a lot of the movies released around then. We realized after a while they all sucked. I still remember the supposed hype of Gravity and walking out wonder WTF was so special. It’s what kicked my exploration of old movies off really.
TV shows: Better Call Saul, Chernobyl (HBO), Narcos (Netflix), Clarkson’s Farm, The Grand Tour, another weird German series on Netflix called Dark. I didn’t like any of GoT that actually released in the last decade, so that’s out. I can’t think of much else.
I’m sure there’s things I liked that didn’t stick with me, or I liked the first season then it turned shit (Mandolorian) There’s probably also something wrong with all of what I listed because there’s Jews, women, leftists, trannies, Muslims, communists, or what not in them. I don’t need it rubbed in my face, I didn’t keep a notebook of wokeness, I just watched them and liked.
The “make the first season enjoyable then start forcing in the lame and gay ideas” trick is a really annoying one that’s become increasingly common over the last few years.
Regarding your final thoughts, I totally agree. I made the thread to hopefully inject a little positivity today
Yeah I like these posts occasionally to sift through for ideas. Particularly if I ever see things light hearted and actually funny. The most dead genre, since they can’t make fun of things anymore.
Honestly, in that case, I doubly recommend Legion to you. It walks the fine line of funny, lighthearted, and often leaving you with a big grin, while still dealing with the darker sides of reality in captivating ways. I like to describe it as “realer than real”, somehow its absurdity and its realism are intertwined. Each one facilitates and expresses the other, like Yin and Yang.
Hadn’t seen anything like it but I’ve already seen a few shows try to ape its style, while totally lacking its substance (namely umbrella academy and doom patrol, which were just pale imitations of this piece of art imo).

I'll throw it on the list and see sometime. I did always tend to favor X-Men over the traditional Marvel stuff (or whatever you'd call it)
Better call Saul was great.
