I Don't Want To Watch The Avengers

So just now, I typed a comment onto someones facebook post and I really liked the sound of the keys clicking on the keyboard, so I figured I should make some more noise.

What I wanna talk about is me not watching the Avengers.  Now, it's not that I feel like I'm above it or some dumb shit like that, but more like, I've seen superhero movies before, and they're terrible.  Like, the ones that everyone likes, I think they're horrible.  I think they just stink.  They're juvenile.  Okay, that's making me sound like a prick, but really, I just don't like to waste my time on movies, in general.  The problem is, when I do watch a movie, I generally enjoy it, but the thought of watching a movie is just so unappealing.  Especially superhero movies.  What a bunch of horseshit.

There have just been far too many superhero movies and for some reason, the moviegoers of the world just eat it up.  I don't want to see that in a movie.  I just don't.  This includes Transformers, as well.  I'm not going to watch any of those big budget cash-grab Hollywood blockbusters.  I just have better things to do with my time than spend my "hard earned" money on what they're putting out.  Trust me, by me holding out, they're still doing just fine, financially.

I always thought comic books were stupid.  Just watch a cartoon, ya goofus.  It's the 90's, you know?  There are cartoons all over the place.  I got a couple Batman comics once, because I heard that kids like me, liked comic books.  Okay, I read them, what's the big deal?  It's just a story with pictures and captions.  I could do that.  I've never been impressed with things I feel like I can do myself.  I'm not impressed with rappers, because I can write down stuff that rhymes, too.  I can draw pictures and have them have talking bubbles out of their mouths, as well.  Not good drawings, but drawings, nonetheless.  I can't, however, make a moving cartoon.  That's impressive.  I can't even come close to replicating that.

And I've sort of always viewed comic books as collectors items.  Since my Batman comics I bought in the early 90's were like, #4,212 (exaggeration), there was no way I was going to be able to collect them all, so what's the point of being excited about it?  I want the rare shit, the hard to find shit.  That's why I liked trading cards.  You never know what you can find in there, rookie cards, to be specific.

So in conclusion, I hope you all (and I really mean all, I'm sure there are very few people who read this that won't see the movie) enjoy the Avengers.  Do what you like, and have a good time.  Be entertained!  Hell, that's why I watch so many sports.  That's how I choose to entertain myself.  You choose to watch a crappy, overblown, wasting of millions of dollars in movie form.  But I know I'm in the severe minority on this opinion, here.  And that's okay, because not everyone should like the same stuff, or else life would get boring.
