oh man, yes thanks for reminding me of how dry the Pullman books were despite the hype. Man. Golden Compass sure was a thing for five minutes, ya? I think I was just way too old to get into it. I was in college at the time.
Stranger Things I love sci fi. I love 80s movies. I love Retrowave soundtracks. I love grotesque alien monsters. I even love D&D.
Stranger Things? Not so much. The first two seasons bored the bejeezus out of me, the third was a little better. But for whatever reason (probably the mania for it in the public eye) it just never clicked with me.
The CW DC Comics shows. (and pretty much every show on the CW except for All-American)
I used to really like them, but after Arrow's 3rd season and The Flash's 2nd season, I couldn't stand the shows anymore.
The writer is a woman and I can say their newest work, Platinum End, has a better cast of female characters and less focus on the romance and it's better too. It's been a solid manga all around. Hoping it gets an anime. Also, no screaming people, at least that I can remember off the top of my head.
Oh man, SAME. Though I haven't seen the third season yet. Don't have much motivation to, especially with so much good anime recently. I'm sorry, but the writing and characters in Stranger Things are just terrible. Predictable plot lines and I really hate kid characters that DON'T ACT LIKE KIDS. They act like sarcastic and annoying little adults rather than kids.
Hmm, two off the top of my head:
re: Game of Thrones - I had started hearing about this series around 2011/12 and wound up getting a box set with the first 4 books for cheap from Costco to give a shot. Sounded pretty cool: huge fantasy epic, lots of interesting characters, dragons?? But... I couldn't make it beyond chapter 10 or so of the first book. I tried like 3 different times separated by a year or more each. Something about his writing style and/or pacing just did not click with me, like at all. Everything just moves at a glacial pace and it's bouncing between too many characters before letting you get acquainted with any of them first, and blegh. I tried the show out, watching 1/2 or so of the first episode and gotta say, I do think I would like that better just because it moves at a faster pace. But I can't be bothered at this point.
Attack on Titan - This one's really petty, but back when this series was first starting to air its anime and it was all the rage, one of my shonen loving friends insisted I had to watch it. I'm also a huge shonen fan, so a few days later I sat down to watch the first episode and... the art style just doesn't jive with me for some reason. I couldn't continue watching past Ep. 1 because I didn't like how it looked :X
The heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan. I LOVE, LOVE Percy Jackson series, more because of the 1st pov maybe. And the heroes of Olympus just fill me with disappointment when it didn't have the 1st pov and continues with 3rd pov the whole series. Well, the Kane chronicles, Magnus Chase and the rest is beck in 1st pov so I won't be complaining more about it.
Oh, btw, the Percy Jackson movies is s*it.
Oh, Hunger Games! I remember really liking the first book but the second and third is just disappointing? And i don't really like the movies. The actress playing her just make me feel odd watching the movie because she somehow looks out of place(?). No idea how to phrase it. 
And I do remember that a new hunger game new book will come out next year, if I don't get it wrong, so we'll see what I'll be about.
Pretty much every popular hyped franchise out there. Like I sometimes I feel like some series live up to the hype but like 80% i've tried getting into were just trash and not even worth being called good, just mediocre.
I'm pretty disappointed with how Steven Universe ended. I loved the show but the ending almost stained the whole series for me. It just seemed like everything was resolved a bit too easily and the horrible things done weren't really addressed, nor punished.
I also want to like Harry Potter more than I do. I enjoy it but I didn't read past book 5 and it was hard for me to get through that. I'm not sure if it's the story itself or the fact that the franchise got too big, but I couldn't get HP to really stick with me and I grew up with it
Oh, and cardio. I know you're good for me but I hate you so very much 
Oh man, I'm preparing myself for a whole lot of hate by admitting this...
Star wars. I can not for the life of me finish any star wars movie and I have tried them all. IDK what is wrong with me, but I just get bored. Doesn't matter if it's an old classic star wars movie or a new one, they just can't seem to hold my attention.
I'm a massive Star Wars fan and had never read the Plagueis book. I wouldn't say I disliked it, I actually did enjoy it and would say I like it, but I didn't like it nearly as much as I thought I would. I'll never read it again, and was disappointed with at least a third of the book.
In the past this would happen a lot with movies. I think it looks right up my alley and I end up not liking it. Same with comics. It's pretty rare these days as I've grown to know my specific taste very well.
My friends keep recommending me Gintama as "extremely hilarious! You should read it!". I read the manga, but I have yet to locate where the extreme hilarity part. Don't get me wrong, i got most the jokes, it's funny and exciting series to read, but didn't make me rolling on the floor...
RWBY
God, I miss monty oum--his fight scenes were unparalleled. Like:
Just look at this section of the fight scene--as flashy as the other parts are, the fact that he even implemented those feints in the heat of this battle goes to show his skill in choreography. RIP in peace, monty.
I don't necessarily think there's a problem with the actress they chose (although I don't think Jennifer Laurence has much range. At all.) I think the problem was that she was supposed to be from a really poor district where everyone was starving and, well... Jennifer Laurence is kind of curvy and looks perfectly healthy. They could have easily thrown some makeup on her to make her look underfed, but they didn't even do that. She also has a kind of wide, innocent face and doesn't look much like a chick who goes hunting daily. It's like when they randomly cast Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor in that Terminator Genisys movie. XD She just doesn't have the look of Sarah Connor, and had nothing on Linda Hamilton in general in my opinion, haha.
A New Hunger Games book? Wow, I didn't know that. I'm excited for the fans of the series~!
