Disliking movies about humans

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else can't stand visual media with human beings as the main characters or the only focus. Lion King was my main special interest as a kid and the only movie I would watch willingly. Movies, cartoons or TV shows with a human cast just frustrated me. I couldn't stand that Lion King Broadway show because they took the thing I loved the most by adding the thing I hated most.l This new "live action" version looks interesting, but I think in all honestly I will prefer the cartoon version the most. But anyway, I look at shows my friends liked as kids and they are shows I could never like or didn't like them because they centered around humans. My dislike of other humans, even fictional ones was disturbing to a particular therapist I had as a kid. But then she was the same b***h who would tell me that the bullying I was receiving in school was my fault somehow.

Can't say I prefer one more than the other although looking forward to the new Lion King remake it looks awesome

MagicMeerkat,

That therapist said a horrible and unfair thing when she said the bullying was your fault.

I prefer cat videos to videos with humans in them, because people do all kinds of stupid things in videos to get attention or get a laugh. Most of the human videos I see are unfunny, some crude and many depict dangerous activities of the "don't try this at home" variety. (Don't do it, period!)

I like to watch stories about people accomplishing things, however.

I'm the opposite - I love as much social interaction as possible in movies or comedies or dramas, etc. That is why I am into the Inbetweeners, Outnumbered and Grange Hill, because it's all about realistic, mundane everyday life with lots of human social interaction and emotions. It's so relatable.

I do like the Lion King though, but most, in fact, everyone I know wants to see the live action Lion King, including me.

I'm American, and I love British comedies (except for Absolutely Fabulous, which left me cold. The characters weren't likeable or personable at all).
