Before Star Wars The Acolyte, I literally had never quit a show outright. Usually if the show started getting boring or bad, I usually would just take a break, and come back later and most of the time, despite diminishing quality, I was still able to get some resemblance of value out of it. But I saw 3 episodes of Acolyte and I was like, "Life is too short for this", and instead of spending my evening watching of that show, I decided to watch Na Hong-Jin's "The Wailing" that night, and it was the best decision of my life, because after...whatever Acolyte was....The Wailing was such an amazing experience. Like I already like Na Hong Jin's previous two films, The Chaser and The Yellow Sea, and I also liked his writing work on the 2021 film The Medium (which was directed by the director of shutter; so it was an awesome collab), but The Wailing was just next level film.

So while I regret the 3 episode length of time I gave to The Acolyte, I am in a way grateful, because of how bad the show was, I was finally motivated to watch The Wailing. So there's regret on the time wasted, but also happiness, because it led to me watching an amazing film.

Ex-friend kept pestering me to watch Onimai: Now I'm your sister with them on Discord calls and it was so fucking gross that I just put another tab over the call so I couldn't see it and used my 3ds while pretending to still watch it. Same friend also had me watch that one Squid Girl anime which was just Invader Zim minus everything that made Invader Zim good and I got bored of it after 2 episodes.

Also tried watching Batman Caped Crusader and couldn't even stomach the first season, that shit was so boring and literally nothing happened in it, a massive blemish on the otherwise near-perfect lineup of animated Batman shows.

The Doctor Who episodes after the 10th Doctor were a huge time waster to expect the show can turn around and get back its good old quality and fun but never did. My time was wasted with 11th and 12th Doctor rubbishes lol.

Anything in the last 10 years that wasn't anime, to be honest.
And even some of that, I regret Jack Sparrowing

Scream Resurrection, or Scream Season 3. I didn't watch the other two and that one was standalone.

What a waste of time. Added absolutely nothing to the franchise and I can barely remember anything about it because of how cliche and recycled it was.

The Purge series was also pretty bad and ultimately felt like a complete waste of time. Hard to watch with the amount of jumping around it did as well.

 

[zebrastuff]

usually check the first episode and if it is terrible it is easy to change to something else haha

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Mighty Magic Swords.

MegaMan NT Warrior.

Desert Punk.

Fan Boy & Chum-Chum.

Rabids.

Buenos Muchachos.

Argentina, Tierra de Amor y Venganza.

And probably a million more examples.
