Basketball. I used to be a big basketball fan when I was in middle school. Actually pretty much infected my entire class with a fad about collecting basketball trading cards.
Now the sport bores me to tears and I resent it quite a bit because I can not for the life of me understand why people watch that rather than hockey.
It's a combo of everything with Family Guy. Not only did you want it more when it was cancelled and brought back, but at this point, it's become so preachy, hateful, and just not funny on every level. I loved it and quoted the first 3 Seasons all throughout high school, but now I can't tolerate it at all. (This is why I fear Arrested Development)
I think in another case of "The Fandom Ruined It" was Lilo and Stitch for me. Every Disney property from the 90s onward got pretty milked, but I have such a love for the first movie. There was a midquel, called "Stitch Has a Glitch" which gave me some hope, but when you have years of a terrible, delayed series that made all the characters look bad, pointless extra movies, and a fandom that's a few steps away from furries? Kind of makes you not like it.

Oh god seconded.
"Hey, Do you want to hear my Stitch impersonation?" "No, because A)It will sound the same as everyone else doing theirs, and none of the sound like stitch, B)You're going to say the "it means family" line like everyone else does because it's the only line anyone remembers from the movie, and C)You're an idiotic fucking cretin, be quiet."
Half the people on this forum are more intelligent than Scrym, so they come off as just average rather than remarkable.
You should meet Dr. Hazard. His game theory/maths make us look like babies in panel discussions. Debates on mechanics with him are like fistfights with Mike Tyson.
If this discussion is to happen, we had best define "smarter" more clearly. I currently know more math than either Rym or Scott but that doesn't by any means make me smarter.
