Stop assuming just because you didn't want something that nobody else does. I never asked for sports to be shown on tv, any sport ever, but I don't go around complaining that sports are broadcast or claiming nobody asked for them, I understand that millions of people who aren't me are enjoying them.

People keep whining about the upcoming Harry Potter series and saying nobody asked for it. Actually, lots of fans did ask for it and have been asking for it for years because a series will be able to more faithfully adapt the books than the movies did. Stop assuming because you didn't ask for something that nobody else wants it.

And if you choose to watch the thing you complain about, you ARE asking for it. The minute you click play on streaming or pay for your theatre ticket, you're asking to see the thing so shut up with your claim that you didn't ask for it. If its existence bothers you so much, don't fucking watch it.

And even if nobody asked for it, so what? Did anybody ask for the first Star Wars movie before it came out?
