I'm with you 100%. Many of the things I used to really dig into, just don't grab me as much anymore. I'm not completely sad about this, though. It lets me explore other activities that I ignored before because of my fixations. I still play games, read, watch movies/shows, but it is really difficult to let go of the detached part of me critiquing constantly as I'm consuming. There's writers/creators behind there and I end up thinking about them and why they chose to do it this way or that. I find some things I enjoy enough that I can totally relax and get into, and honestly quite often it is things that have some rough edges. Thor Ragnarok and Last Jedi are two of my favorite movies in the past couple of years, and the reason I love them are reasons others hate them. Things that are weird or unexpected, even nonsensical. Because that makes it feel more real to me, in a way. Too many films and shows these days are slick as shit, and feel incredibly manufactured, like I can sense the teams of people working the material again and again until it is smooth and hitting the targeted emotional responses.
The Flying Princess Leia scene in Last Jedi was dumb, but that made me love the movie more. The Original Trilogy had a bunch of dumb moments in them too, but JJ Abrahms Force Awakens had none of them (it had a different kind of stupid ;) ) and felt soul-less to me.
