Line 28:
* Any show with [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] will have a Fandom affected by this.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' was initially intended to be a cute little spinoff for people Just Here For the cute little sister from ''[[Triangle Heart 3 ～sweet songs forever～]]''. Halfway through the first season, which had by then pulled more viewers than the ''Toraha 3'' OVA released around the same time had, the game cast starts to fade out and the plot gets complicated. By the end, Nanoha is the only game cast member with a major role, the universe has made many major breaks with the originals, and most people seeking the ''Triangle Heart'' games and [[OVA]]s are Just There For Nanoha.
* ''[[Happiness! (visual novel)|Happiness!]]'' is an anime that was originally a [[Visual Novel]]. Most agree it's a fairly mediocre high school drama with a really generic magic system attached. It doesn't matter though, because nearly everyone watches it to see [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Jun]], who steals [[Ensemble Darkhorse|every]] single scene he's in.
* Lesser example; ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'': Just here for the [[Ax Crazy]] [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]] Goddess.
* It seems like a lot of fans watch ''[[
* Some people watch ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' simply for the unique giant robot battles.
** Other people watch it just for [[Emotionless Girl|Rei]] and [[Tsundere|Asuka]].
Line 62:
** A lot of audiences in general seem to like movies more for the costumes and set design than for the actual plot.
* Most audiences went to see ''[[The Forbidden Kingdom]]'' simply to see [[Jackie Chan]] fight Jet Li for the first time in their careers.
** You can say that about Martial Arts movies in general. The plot is secondary. You're here to watch [[Jet Li]], [[Jackie Chan]], [[Tony Jaa]], [[Jason Statham]], [[Bruce Lee]], [[Jean
*** The same thing can be said about non-martial arts action stars as well -- [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], [[Sylvester Stallone]], [[Charles Bronson]], [[Clint Eastwood]] and others.
* No matter [[Sequelitis|how bad you think the sequels are]], the one thing every fan can look forward to in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' is Captain Jack Sparrow.
Line 142:
== Live-Action Television ==
* ''[[
** [[Comically Missing the Point|Oh course there is.]] [[Everybody Remembers the Stripper|There's Kari.]]
* One of the best examples of all times is ''[[Baywatch]]'', where to the fans the plot was nothing and [[Fan Service|bouncing boobs on the beach in slow motion]] was everything.
Line 154:
* As Ben Browder found out by conducting a poll at his first Stargate convention, some people started watching [[Stargate SG-1]] when Ben and Claudia joined season 9 and others started watching ''[[Farscape]]'' after seeing Ben and Claudia on ''SG-1''.
** This happens a lot with [[Joss Whedon|Whedonverse]] actors - ''[[Castle]]'' was basically marketed as "[[Nathan Fillion]] is on TV again!" and ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'' were similarly marketed as "[[Summer Glau]] is a killer robot!"
* Many people have said that the only reason to watch ''[[
** There are also some ''[[Lost]]'' fans, or ex-fans, who started watching it simply because they still miss Charlie. ABC [[Fake Crossover|probably predicted this]].
* Many people watch ''[[American Idol]]'' in the beginning just to see the horrible no talent singers make fools of themselves on national television. Everything else after that is just a waste of time.
Line 200:
* Many classical music concerts often feature the more melodic tunes by popular composers ("William Tell Overture" ([[Gioacchino Rossini]]), "The Blue Danube" ([[Johann Strauss]]), "Bolero" ([[Maurice Ravel]]), "5th symphony" ([[Ludwig Van Beethoven]])"Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" (Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart),...), because most audiences just want to hear the most famous portions and not the obscure, less danceable work. In fact many well known classical tunes are played as a stand alone piece instead of in the context of the original work. For instance, everyone knows the first part of Beethoven's 5th symphony, but are unaware that there are more, less well known portions to the work.
* Often happens at concerts of older bands that were once more popular, but are still putting out new material. Fans want to hear the older hits, not the new stuff.
** Along those lines, ''[[Michael Jackson:
* This is often why [[Hank Williams III]] gets concert bookings. He sounds just like his late grandfather Hank Williams Sr. and so starts off every concert by doing some country songs and his grandfather's hits. Once that's done he informs the country fans that the part they came for is done with and that they can leave before launching into the Psychobilly Death Metal songs from his group Assjack that he actually likes to perform.
* [[Hawkwind]] attribute a large portion of their live audiences from mid-1971 to mid-75 (particularly in Germany) to Stacia, a [[Most Common Superpower|statuesque]] brunette standing a little over 6 foot tall, who would dance on stage.<ref>She started off performing naked or in body paint where possible, but moved to more serious, less-exposed performances as the years progressed.</ref>
Line 278:
** And of course, ''[[Deadpool]]'', who gets all the best lines of the first game and is even more advertised for the second.
* ''[[Grand Chase]]'' advertisement: "GRAND CHASE HAS ONE OF THE MOST "SKILL BASED" PVP SYSTEMS EVER! Wait... there's dungeons too? WHO CARES? NEW TOURNAMENT! CASH IN NOW TO BE THE BEST!!"
** Similarly, all the ''[[Dungeons
* ''[[Warcraft]] III'': When ''[[Defense of the Ancients]]'' came out, some people bought it only for that and other custom maps, others stick purely to ladder, the majority don't care either way. Rumors of a story-heavy campaign mode remain unconfirmed.
* Some of [[Nickelodeon]]'s [[Periphery Demographic]] played the ''[[Nicktoons Unite!]]'' series just for [[The Ren and Stimpy Show|Stimpy]], [[Rocko's Modern Life|Rocko]], [[Invader Zim|Zim, Dib and GIR]]. Well, pretty nice of THQ to acknowledge what Nick would rather forget, even to the point of getting the characters' original actors to reprise their roles.
Line 298:
* Did you actually read '''428: Fuusasareta Shibuya de'''? You only started it because [[Nasuverse|Kinoko Nasu wrote one of the scenarios]], didn't you?
* Xbox Live's Gamerscore system has resulted in "achievement whores", players who buy games strictly to milk their achievements and then never touch them again.
* Despite [[Sega|Sonic Team's]] ''[[Sonic Adventure|numerous]]'' [[Sonic Adventure 2|attempts]] [[Sonic Heroes|at]] [[Shadow the Hedgehog (video game)|adding]] [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006
* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' features [[Shown Their Work|weather simulation, realistic geology and climates, elaborate history simulation and genetically-controlled character appearances]]. People play it to slaughter [[Eldritch Abomination|horrible monsters]], find the most [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|gruesome ways to execute goblins]] and flood the world in boiling magma.
* And then there's ''[[Rollercoaster Tycoon]] 3''. Who cares for creating well-working, beautifully designed amusement parks when you can deliberately crash rollercoasters into your peeps instead?
Line 305:
* Playing ''[[Space Channel 5]] Part 2''? There's a good chance you're playing it just for Purge.
* ''[[Rule of Rose]]'' features an interesting inversion to the usual trend, as the fans of the game typically consider the mediocre gameplay completely uninteresting compared to the complex [[Mind Screw]] storyline, and dig out the most minute details for further speculation about the character motives. Elitism isn't dead.
* Many people only get ''[[
** Interestingly, the free-to-play Starter Edition of ''StarCraft II'' includes full access to the Terrans... but ''only'' the Terrans, and only on certain maps/match types.
* ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' has grafitti all over the maps to give subtle cues on what had happened before the survivors arrived without giving too much away. However, most people prefer to just blaze through the maps and kill zombies.
Line 312:
*** One of the Namco Bandai producers would admit that this was part of why Ezio was picked, since he was so popular in the West where they want the series to do well.
* Lets be honest here, people: No-one cares about the storyline or gameplay or anything of ''[[Bullet Witch]]'', you just want to shoot stuff.
* Many play ''[[
** For its sister series ''[[The Sims]]'' people often play it either to just kill people in horrible ways, make their Sims miserable, or to make their character [[Really Get Around]].
* Chances are that niche games which happened to include game demos for more popular products count here. ''[[Zone of the Enders]]'' with its ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' demo, most definitely (though ''ZOE'' managed to find its audience with ''2nd Runner''), and to a less successful extent, ''Tobal No. 1'' with its demo for ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]''.
Line 332:
* Just as with ''Generator Rex'', ''[[Ben 10]]'' had people who just stuck around to watch Grandpa Max be incredibly awesome.
* Used in-story and taken to the extreme in a ''[[Family Guy]]'' cutaway gag: It seems that Peter only went to ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' to see the Phantom's deformity, and shouts at the actor playing him to hurry up and show it. "That nose better be piggy!"
* There have been a number of people who only watched ''[[
* Many people watched ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'' just to see some their favorite cartoon characters in the same scene (Donald and Daffy, Mickey and Bugs).
Line 340:
** Lampshaded in their spoof newsshow ENN, a weekly episode of which comes out at the exact same time as [[Zero Punctuation]].
{{quote|"We'll see you here next week, right after you watch [[Zero Punctuation]]." }}
* Some people are on [[Facebook]] not for the social or communication aspects for it so much as games like ''Mafia Wars'' and ''[[
* Most fans of ''[[Super Mario Bros Z]]'' just mash their space bar through the dialogue to get to the [[Holy Shit Quotient|stupidly]] [[Rule of Cool|awesome]] fight sequences faster.
* Even you don't know or care about the film [[The Nostalgia Critic]] is reviewing, it's fun to see him break down in tears and/or rage over it.
