While I was looking at some pics I found an old post in which I talk about watching Thor. Briefly, because the movie really didn't impress me. It's so funny how falling for a fandom sometimes works... back then I wouldn't have thought in a million years that a year later I'd be reading fic for that movie. So it goes.
(I also said, at one point in the past: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Teen show, and what a stupid name, I'm not watching that!")

I saw Thor after watching The Avengers so was mildly charmed, but I remember having the exact same reaction to Buffy when I first heard of it in college. :o)

There was a time when I was really sure I'd never be into any superhero comics, despite loving comics in general. That was made moot by superhero movies, backed up by media fandom, seducing me eventually.

Backreading my journal is far more likely to reveal, "This show is GREAT, I will certainly be fannish about it!" about something that has me going, "Wait, WHAT was that show?"

There are things like Buffy and Angel that I waited a long time to dive into, but the only thing I remember being aggressively indifferent to was Downton Abbey, back when everybody liked it. Then I actually got into it when it turned into sort of a trainwreck.

I tried watching Thor after I saw Captain America and couldn't get into it at all. I gave up before Thor even made it to Earth. Then right before Avengers came out, I sat myself down with some crochet and watched it. I didn't like it. Not until after watching the Avengers and totally getting sucked into fic.
