What the hell man, you can do better than this. The Hunger Games? Really? Isn't that too mainstream for you?

Unfortunately, there's nothing more mainstream than the MCU (proof that being mainstream doesn't mean I won't ingest it). While the source material is still rather niche, the media that fuels the people that are attracted to these fandoms tend not to be as geeky or outsidery as television would suggest. I read The Hunger Games in middle school. I liked it. I also found the sequel mind-numbingly boring and never bothered reading it. Probably never will.

Edit: Honestly, if you refuse to enjoy something simply because other people do, you're a poseur.
