For me, 2 things come to mind; Berserk & the Long Walk

Berserk may sound controversial, but I just didn't have a good time watching the 90's anime. I felt angry while watching it. I just didn't like the characters for how dickish they were (especially Guts & Casica) and the setting was too miserable for me. And some of you may go, "but the comic is 10x better" (I know it's manga, I'm just calling a comic to piss of people) I also just don't like dark fantasy in general, since they're edgy, pretentious, and worst of all... they're ugly. There's a reason why I never played the Dark Souls games, outside of the difficulty

The Long Walk movie is really well made movie with amazing acting. But man was it a miserable movie to go through. Seeing all those kids getting shot by soldiers for being slower was painful to watch.

Side note: there's a lot of critically acclaimed stuff I like (Cowboy Bebop & the Dark Knight). It's just that entertainment is so subjective that it's not mutually exclusive to writing.

The first one in the series? Yeah, it’s cool for being one of the first open world games but it gets very repetitive. I quit partway through and tried AC2, and that was a big leap forward in gameplay, story, and missions. I recommend giving it a try if you liked anything about the first.

I remember loving the first game when it released. When the second came out I knew there would never be a reason to go back to the first lol. The unskippable cutscenes makes it feel like an interactive movie. It felt groundbreaking at the time though
