In the last couple of years I don't think I watched a movie or a series where I don't hit fast forward at least once. I guess it's due to me being too familiar with overused Hollywood formula coupled with tedious woke nonsense and my ever increasing value of time.
Mind you I can still whole heartedly enjoy the film. It's just certain parts will detract from experience.

For example any marvel movie I usually finish in 10-30mins. I highly doubt anyone sits through entire Avatar film and think to themselves wow that was the most captivating 3hrs of my life. I feel like most movies should be narrowed down to 1 hour as an industry standard unless they are some epic trilogy that's action packed

I think a lot of shit is overused and done. But if you're fast forwarding so often then I'd argue things like tiktok and such has influenced your attention span.
I mean, what parts exactly are you not skipping in a Marvel movie then lol?

Filler bro. Maybe you ain't got the head to know when irrelevant filler can be skipped through.

I'm not going to watch a marvel movie to skip through the thousands of hours the team put in to make it look as good as it looks. Otherwise I'm not watching a marvel movie and going for something with more substance.
Also I pretty much only watch Marvel movies in theater anyways.

I don't use tiktok lol. I am not some little Timmy with a attention span of a goldfish either. The action scenes and brief moments where they progress the story. All the filler and fluff I have little enjoyment for. It's equivalent of being held hostage.
Besides marvel is not really thinking type anyway there isn't much to digest also I have skipped entire films entirely just through a trailer alone

If sitting through movies is that much of a chore for you why don’t you just do something you think is fun instead

I've never considered fast forwarding. I either make it through the movie or series or I quit part way through.

I'm also not familiar with what you call tedius woke nonsense. I know what you mean, but I've never encountered it in a TV show or movie.

I would turn it off the first time I felt like fast forwarding.
