Just as examples:
- I’ve never played a Pokemon game despite being just the right age where my peers were really into gen 1 as a kid.
- I have yet to watch any of the Alien or Predator franchise movies (except Prometheus, which I didn’t realize was in the Alien franchise when I watched it long ago) but am planning on rectifying that when I can get a chance.
I can’t make it more than an hour though the first Lord Of The Rings without falling asleep. It just doesn’t fancy me.
I’ve yet to watch Schindler List. I feel like it’s signing up for feeling bad for 2 hours 😕
I’m also big into Sci-fi, and have yet to watch the OG Star Treks, Stargate, Babylon 5, or Dr. Who
Never watched Game of Thrones or Stranger Things. (Or countless other shows)
Not quite what you are asking, but the first time I saw the video from 9-11 of a plane crashing into a building was around 2014-2015 when I moved to NYC. The people I was working with there couldn’t seem to believe that I had never seen it.
I’ve never seen Lost, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad or any of the rest of the mandatory drama television genre. I gave up partway through watching Battlestar Galactica and kinda just stopped watching television.
For awhile there, the only non-technical conversation I could have was “Did you see Game of Thrones last night?” “No, I don’t watch that show.” “Oh. Bye.” Humanity’s ability to talk about anything except heartburn drama television for the last decade and a half kind of weaned me off of socializing.
No Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. I tried a little and gave up.
Never used any music or video streaming service. Yo ho
Never seen any of the Lord of the Rings and have no plans to.
You are better off
Correct.
I have never read the Harry Potter series.
I plowed through all sorts books as a kid in the 2000s but never picked them up.
Yeah I think I’m cool with that.
Do you still enjoy fantasy aimed at kids? if you do the series is good. If you don’t you’ll see all the flaws
I have two of yours. honestly I just don’t care what I might have or not seen. there is just to much that flies by to fast in modern times and everything is fractured. Everything that is a thing now likely was never watched by a majority of people. its not like when the broadcasters were the only game in town. even with cable their stuff was seen by more eyeballs because it was available. I remember folks who felt it was a badge of honor to not see stuff everyone has seen. like its a wonderful life.
Everything other than squid game, among us and minecraft
I haven’t watched a lot of movies in general, be it mainstream or indie. Completely my own fault, since I’m built different when it comes to setting up a roadblock for myself, in that regard.
I know it’s been out forever and a day, but Prometheus being in the Alien canon is kind of a spoiler.
I never watched Game of Thrones. I only watched the very last episode because the friends decided it’d be fun to watch, and even then I was disappointed lol
I also never read any books based on any RPG or other games (D&D, World of Darkness, 40k)
They only made 4 seasons of Game of Thrones. Really wished they had made more, but what can you do?
I didn’t watch the show Firefly. I had already been using this screenname for a long time when that show came out, but people began to assume I was a fan and named myself after it.
While I’m generally a scifi fan and watched tons of sci-fi TV in those days, the Buffy shows a lot of my friends were into bored the hell out of me and I didn’t feel like checking out another show by the same guy.
I do have the DVDs on my shelf, having picked them up cheap secondhand somewhere ages ago thinking I might just get it overwith someday, but the more I’ve learned about Joss Whedon over the years the less inclined I found myself to check it out.

fwiw, Firefly is nothing like Buffy.
I’ve never had Instagram, tik Tok, twitter, or most other socials. I had Facebook, that’s pretty much it. But no longer.
