there was a turning point in my youth where I started to realize that it is scripted. I think I was around 12 years old or so.. but even after I realized it was all a work I still really enjoyed it. Honestly, it's pretty amazing to me that so many people enjoy something that is quite obviously not actually competitive, well outside from who can form the best character and get the people to follow it. I've always been a fan of bad guys and I don't really know why that is... never been a fan of whoever the hero is... love the bad guys
