I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Remember when they snuck off on some escape ship to go get help for their crew in imminent danger and then decided to dick around on some horse racing casino planet? It's like they completely forgot why they were there. I thought TLJ had some neat ideas but I don't know how anyone can overlook that weird loss of urgency in the middle of the film. It's like your house is on fire and your family is trapped upstairs, so you run over to a neighbor's house to call the fire department, but you discover that they got some dog fighting thing going on in the backyard so you decide to go deal with that first, then you call the fire department but it turns out the dispatcher was in cahoots with the arsonist who started it in the first place, and then you return home with your tail between your legs and your mom didn't even know you had left. The whole second act could have been a dream sequence and it wouldn't have changed a thing.
