Remember your fallen heroes

Alternative view: this is the best Transformers movie to date. I still have it on Jellyfin and watch it once in a while. Spent my whole childhood watching this tape over and over. I would still recommend it today.

I haven't gone back to watch the TV show, but I remember the TV show being much after the movie. Early Transformers show seasons were very basic and over time the stories got more mature and improved.

What's one highly extolled piece of media that you absolutely cannot stand in any way shape or form.

There's a huge regional and cultural aspect to what you're saying. You're comparing slapstick in-your-face American comedy to subtle cringe British comedy. The Office is an excellent example since it is exactly the same script used in both initially. Watching S1E1 for British vs American version is an excellent comparison of styles. I don't like British comedy particularly and don't even like The Office, but watching both back to back, I would prefer the British version.

There are a number of amazing British comedies. They are very different to American. British comedies are understated and a bit miserable. Try "I'm Alan Partridge".....such an amazing comedy.

Equally I've tried watching Curb Your Enthusiasm with British friends and a large portion can't stand that for how cringe it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

There's no superior choice in matters of art and taste. Just different flavours.

This might sound dumb.....but playing Binding of Isaac as a young adult really changed my outlook on life and I still carry the lesson with me.

Life is a roguelike. You get one play through. It's always difficult. You get lucky sometimes. A lot of times you don't. Some people get better RNG and better loot drops than you and have a much easier run. You can make a sacrifice or "beat a difficult boss", but the game is not obliged to give you any good reward and sometimes you get nothing. The choices are what they are in front of you. You can complain about it, but can't change things. You've just got to make the best of what you get.

The life lesson I will carry with me forever is: "it is what it is". Life is a roguelike.
