Also, the phrasing is important. These aren't hobbies, they're obsessions. It's not "I like movies," or "I like video games," it's "I love Marvel," or "I love Legos."
I don't know this person, and she might very well be insufferable still, but I can certainly see the point she's making. It's not necessarily "how dare a man want to sit around and watch a movie," it's more along the lines of "why is this adult absolutely obsessed with one specific franchise?" It's not a hard and fast dealbreaker necessarily, but I can certainly see the issue.
Hobbies are good. Obsessions can destroy relationships. Some people, very especially nowadays, never learned to moderate. I wouldn't want to be involved with a woman who, for example, needed to see every Marvel movie on opening night, bought all the merch, and all that shit. Too much of that is a major red flag, and men and women should both be very wary getting involved with people like this, as they can't always separate reality from fiction, and also often won't put their real-life relationship first. You can't trust them; they're detached, and are more likely to end up betraying you over stupid shit.
