Stop basing your opinions on what other people like. I've never experienced such a wide range of media since I cut out sites like Rottentomatoes, Letterbox, Rateyourmusic, and stopped watching "review" youtubers.
I think they’re going to look for others who also liked the movie & hear their takes on it. That’s pretty standard behavior.
Like me, maybe; I have loved all the new MCU & Star Wars stuff (except for Secret Invasion & Kenobi) and I went online to hear what other people liked, and… well, turns out I’m just a distinguished gentleman 🎩🧐 lol
I’m very hit or miss on all the Star Wars stuff, it’s amusing even when I enjoy something, to go watch a video by a big lore fan, and hear them exclaim at just how royally fucking stupid the writing is, if you remember anything from other stories in the universe. Thankfully I’m not that invested, and don’t see all the flaws as I’m watching.
I've been doing this. Slowly but surely, cutting it all out.
After 20+ years on the Internet, I've finally had my fill of other people's opinions on the media I like. Making a conscious effort to cut it all out has done wonders.
I don’t think op said at all that their opinions are based in what other people like, just that it sucks when you like something only to find out everyone else hates it.
