Do you ever think about the media you'll never be able to consume in your life? - Page 2

I've watched probably 1000+ movies in my life yet there's another 10,000+ I know I'll never watch. Even if they never make another movie again from tomorrow onward, it would still be nearly impossible to watch every "good" movie ever made.

TV shows are even worse. There are not only thousands of shows, but many TV shows go on 7+ seasons and 100+ episodes, and just watching one show of that length is time consuming, now think of hundreds of shows like that. There's so many shows out there that I would want to watch but then I look up the episode count or number of seasons, and I see "8-10 seasons and 150+ episodes" and I'm like...yeah...that's way too much.

Then there's comics. DC, Marvel, Star Wars comics, indie comics...it's endless. Even if you had the time or money, it's impossible to read every comic based on everything you would want. If you wanted to read every Batman, X-men, Spiderman, Star Wars EU comic ever made...it's an insane toll to go through.

Videogames are another, where it's endless.

All I think about is the endless media I know I'll never be able to consume, and I watch/play a lot more media than most people.
