Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

[Unwanteduser48]

Share your unpopular opinions (and have a little rant if you want)
My opinions:
1. Transformers 4 and 5 (AoE and TLK) is not that bad, if they were part of an original IP then no one would complain how far-fetched they are from the lore of Transformers
2. Sonic Frontiers is a mediocre game. A bland Ubisoft open world game with Unity graphic and a confusing story that only fans will understand
3. JoJo should've been ended after Part 3. The later parts especially 5 and 6 are unnecessary, if you remove Part 5 between 4 and 6 then nothing would've changed really.
4. Halo should've ended after 3, not sure why many Halo fans still want more contents while complaining about the franchise's quality nowadays (same goes with many other franchises like Call of Duty or Dragon Ball)

Bump.

Sonic Adventure > Sonic Adventure 2

Shippuden > Part 1

The OVA Jotaro vs DIO fight was the coolest version of it.

X is the best Showa Rider

 

[Unwanteduser48]

bump.

 

[Giannysmag]

Don't really have that many unpopular opinions but here are a few i could think of

1. Part 2 is the best animated Jojo part

2. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 > Season 1 at least for most episodes

3. Genshin Impact > Honkai Star Rail

Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk was better than the MCU's Incredible Hulk

Especially in terms of staying true to the Hulks character (Notice I didn't say Bruce)

1. One Piece animation can be incredibly overrated and often times it's incredibly saturated with annoying ass effects which ruins the moment for me.

2. In that same vein, I don't despise anime with amazing and spectacular animation, but I'm also a fan of calm sakuga, like in Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho etc. So shows like JJK s2, occasionally CSM, One Piece (in particular), look great, but I think often times they do too much for scenes that really don't need to be doing allat.

3. Similarly to the first one, while I haven't watched TYBW yet (I'm waiting for it to finish so I can binge), Bleach's art and animation is oversaturated and overrated. I dislike the color palette/grading, and prefer OG Bleach far more.

2011 HxH really hits the right spot if you like consistent calm and clean animation

I really cant think of other shounen anime with as many episodes as it has that does as good a job except for maybe the first 3 seasons of AOT

China has the world’s best CGI now.

I don't think I have many hot takes as I'm a bland npc, but here's some

1. Yakuza 3 has a better story than 0
2. Sonic Unleashed is the best Sonic game
3. Part 3 and 5 aren't all that
4. Naruto as a whole fell off and part 1 is the best section of it

 

[Maverick_Zero_X]

Not sure how unpopular these are but

1. Man of Steel is a good movie
2. The Fnaf movie is pretty bad
3. If it weren’t for its clean animation, Demon Slayer would be insanely mid

yep seen both and i agree og hxh hits too

I was about to say something about my country of descent but nah, too risky.

 

[BrackishBrineBroth]

The Owl House is a bit overrated
Yeah, that's pretty much it

As someone who loves the Owl House, the pacing in season 1 was pretty awful.

Ang Lee's 2003 Hulk was better than the MCU's Incredible Hulk

Agreed. The final fight in that movie was better then the vast majority of mcu fights.

 

[Unwanteduser48]

Bump.

this i agree with

2. The Fnaf movie is pretty bad

Most people started to appreciate Man of Steel since the release of Snyder Cut. And FNAF movie got like positive reception mostly from fans and 12 years old

Bluebird is mid

Thats the most ice cold of takes

 

[AnAverageUsername]

Nah they're right

 

[Greatsage13th]

Most of the standard English cartoons had started to become mid or far worse while the Spanish, Malaysian and other cartoons would be far above them.

Personally really dislike this isekai / cheat hero shit and the power fantasy manga protags. They basically are all the same character and bloat this forum with their supporters who likely don't care about them as characters, moreso their statistics.

Below Zero Kelvin cold take

not even unpopular

Naruto is one of the worst mangas/animes I've seen

 

[AnAverageUsername]

not even unpopular

die

That's how I know I've succeeded at a hot take

 

[ZetaMarishi]

To be honest, Gojo kinda mid, but this mostly comes down to his screentime and how much he's allowed to do. The only time I liked him a lot was during Hidden Inventory when he got to actually do a lot and show himself off as a character. A cool powerset can only carry me so long. Also the random timeskip before Gojo vs Sukuna felt really weird and I wasn't a fan of that. Not because it happened but because it was completely glossed over. It felt awkward.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Bluebird is mid

You mean the Naruto OP?

If so, then I kinda agree. There are much better OPs.

Erm.. Sexual harassment.. Ban this guy..

The MCU is dogshit and I truly, legitimately cannot understand how anybody past the age of 12 can enjoy those movies.

I'm really fucking sick and tired of remakes, reboots, and retellings of various media that already exists. I feel like we're rapidly approaching a media singularity where everything that has previously existed in some form is simply regurgitated in a new coat of paint, whether that be in a remake people forget about in a week or in another ill-fated attempt to create some kind of media multiverse (Space Jam 2 is a good example of this thought process at its worst).

Touhou Project unironically sweeps most verses here in terms of the quality of its storytelling and characterization. Genuinely a great series to analyze the thematics and worldbuilding of, which is why it's so upsetting to see a majority of the fandom keep recycling the same unfunny memes and gooner mentality. Not gonna ruin my enjoyment, though.
