One other thing to consider is that of trauma/PTSD. Things that we find exhilarating in more traditional media may in fact be too stressful/terrifying in VR. Horror experiences in particular seem to be proving this out, but I could see the same for the type of extreme violence that currently seems fun or exciting onscreen.

Example: Movie The Road was quite true to the book, but much more viscerally horrifying. A VR "you're there" version would indeed be significantly ... less fun.
