Pet Peeves

Welcome to Pet Peeves, where the little things that annoy you are welcome.

Ever notice the thousands of posts and comments out there that just grind your gears? You always want to say something about how much whatever it is sucks, and you hate it. But, then you're going off topic and get people mad at you.

Well, don't do that. Come here instead! Tell us about your pet peeve!


Rules are simple

1: Do not link to comments or posts elsewhere. This ain't power tripping bastards, we aren't here to judge users or mods, we're here to vent a little spleen about the minor annoyances of life.

2: IF screen shots are used, they must have any and all user names obscured fully, and any community names as well. Like already said, this isn't about going after anyone or anywhere in specific, it's about us having a peeve.

3: Wheaton's law is in effect. Don't be a dick. It ain't cool, and it won't be allowed to stay up. Fair warning ahead of time, mods make the call as to what is and isn't dickish. Complaining about it won't get you anywhere. If it's a misunderstanding, so be it, but the dickish comment will still be gone because if one person reads it as dickish, more probably would too. So go back and rewrite whatever it was.

4: If it isn't obvious, bigotry is inherently dickish. Doesn't matter if it's blatant or dog whistles, don't do it, you'll get immediately banned.

5: Cursing is absolutely allowed, but not cursing at people. Motherfuckers may well be annoying, but when you specify an individual as a motherfucker, that's not likely to end in a friendly way. You dig, motherfuckers?


Post guidelines

Try to remember that any pet peeve you have is likely something other beings do with no ill intent. So try to keep it about you, not them. Explain why it annoys you, rather than just ranting about other people, there's already communities for that kind of thing.

Example: Turn signals being left on. Annoying as hell, because now you don't know if they're really signaling to turn, if it's something they didn't know they did, etc, so now you have to pay extra attention instead of focusing on your own driving and navigation.

Don't just complain about how stupid the people must be, how inconsiderate. Keep the focus on the inconvenience itself.


Feel free to refer folks here when they go off topic about their peeves, that's part of why we're here :)

That word "homework" gets on my nerves and I don't think I can fully articulate why. I guess in a way that's what a pet peeve is, when you can't quite explain why it annoys you. I think there are reasons I have yet to articulate, even to myself, but I will try to articulate it at least a bit.

They're referring to watching TV and movies as work they're being forced to do in order to watch more movies and shows. They're upset that a group of movies and shows are connected and build on one another. I think they're fundamentally viewing the MCU in a different way than I do, they're viewing each movie and show as a seperate entity while I view it as one long series. To me it sounds as silly as complaining "I want to read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows but it requires me to read six other books for homework". Obviously each book in the series builds on the previous ones. Maybe watching a long franchise consisting of movies and shows isn't for everyone, if it's a problem for you to watch every entry in the series, maybe just don't watch this franchise.

I sort of get where some of these people are coming from. They want to see Marvel movies in theatres but some of the movies are connected to series they can only watch if they subscribe to Disney+, which they don't want to do. But watching movies has never been free. Even if the movies weren't connected to Disney+ shows, they're still connected to movies you have to pay to watch somehow.

Post endgame I have found that Marvel movies just haven’t really been as enjoyable as they used to be. I’m sure some of it is nostalgia, but I feel like there has been a quality dip.

Guardians 3 was the best one that I’ve seen out of:

Spider-Man: No Way Home Shang-Chi Doctor Strange MoM Thor Love and Thunder Guardians 3

I probably would have watched the Black Panther sequel and Antman, since I liked their other movies a lot.

And really I wouldn’t say any of these movies are bad or anything like that. Just not as enjoyable.

I have only seen WandaVision to completion and none of these movies TV shows outside of Moon Knight look even interesting to me. But that’s cause I like Poe Dameron/Jason Isaacs.

WandaVision is the best. In my opinion, the only series that's come close to topping WandaVision is Agatha All Along, which is a direct spinoff of WandaVision

Oh I forgot about Agatha All Along. My wife watched that while I was reading a book, so I caught bits and pieces of it. Seemed solid.
