Unpopular Opinions and (Friendly) Rant thread

[DivineAura44]

DBGT is overhated and gets hate for basically concepts that is overhyped and praised in DBS. In that same vein however, Dragon Ball worldbuilding is amazing, and regardless if you like GT or DBS or hate one or the other, added to the series. You have many different worlds and people with their own ideology, background, and the life they live

This is too vague for me to hold an opinion.

SW acolyte is unnecessary. We already have over a ridiculous amount of material from how the dark side and sith function from legends on how they fight. But Kathleen had to go “we have no source material”.

I don't think this is a hot take. I know nothing about Star Wars so I don't really have a strong opinion. But the idea that Acolyte wasn't needed seems to be one shared by many fans.

Naruto world is terrible and the series preaches dangerous nationalism and loyalty to a village that either treated you like trash (Naruto), wiped out your entire family and clan (Sasuke), or condemned anyone who decided friends are more important than the village (Kakashi). Konoha is the worst village. At least the hidden mist was honest about themselves where they have their academy students and child soldiers kill each other. But Konoha does massacre and hide it behind as “the best village”. **** them honestly.

I understand where you are coming from but it's not about giving back or loyalty. It's about making the right decision regardless of. The village and it's policies could always change. The blood on your hands from allowing a massacre of your village (the very thing you admit is wrong) won't. Is Konoha the best? Nah. Does that change the duty of it's ninja to protect it? Also no.

Take that shit back right now

Why would I??

Caillou in the big 3:

Isn't it like the most popular kids cartoon of all time?

 

[DivineAura44]

Other than Caillou, Wild Kratts and Bubble Guppies are valid, though mine would be different.

That's cool I guess

 

[DivineAura44]

Oh shit I forgot about Sesame Street.
Pretend I never said Bubble Guppies.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Oh shit I forgot about Sesame Street

we put respect on Mr. Henson's name

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Why would I??

P&F is way better.

Isn't it like the most popular kids cartoon of all time?

The big 3 for toddlers/preschoolers shouldn't only be a popularity contest.

If the big 3 was just solely based on popularity, then yes. Caillou can definitely be considered, but imo, you have to be a good quality show for people of that demographic in order to be considered a part of the big 3, and Caillou fails in damn near every category.

 

[DivineAura44]

Shit I'm conflicted. Barney also gotta be somewhere.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Oh shit I forgot about Sesame Street.
Pretend I never said Bubble Guppies.

Damn I forgot about that too.

That's definitely in the big 3. Extremely popular and very good in quality.

we put respect on Mr. Henson's name

My apologies

I'll make my big 3 once I think of more preschool/toddler shows.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Shit I'm conflicted. Barney also gotta be somewhere.

Then there's shit like Dora, Thomas and Friends, Backyardigans, Paw Patrol, etc.

 

[DivineAura44]

The big 3 for toddlers/preschoolers shouldn't only be a popularity contest.

You asked me what MY big 3 was? The original HST/Big 3 of Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach were literally only the big 3 because they were popular. So are we pretending as if I have bad criteria? If you wanna rank the preschooler shows based on quality, then say so. Stop calling it "the X big 3".

 

[DivineAura44]

Then there's shit like Dora, Thomas and Friends, Backyardigans, Paw Patrol, etc.

Backyardigans in this lineup is a crazy sneak.

 

[Arceus0x]

Take that shit back right now.

Things are heating up in the child fandom...

Wait that came out wrong

 

[DivineAura44]

Prolly won't make the cut but I feel as if Magic School Bus deserves a mention.

 

[DivineAura44]

So I think we can agree on Dora, Barney, and Sesame Street, right?
I think these are easily the most iconic.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Backyardigans in this lineup is a crazy sneak.

How?

Prolly won't make the cut but I feel as if Magic School Bus deserves a mention.

Magic School Bus was the shit.

So I think we can agree on Dora, Barney, and Sesame Street, right?
I think these are easily the most iconic.

I don't hate that.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Huh?

 

[DivineAura44]

How?

I think we can recognize that the other 3 are vastly more popular, right?

 

[RandomGuy2345]

The show is more than popular enough to be considered as an option for the big 3.

 

[DivineAura44]

Why not throw out Blues Clues, Little Einsteins, or Team Umizoomi at that point? I'm not denying it's popular but big 3??

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Why not throw out Blues Clues, Little Einsteins, or Team Umizoomi at that point? I'm not denying it's popular but big 3??

I'd consider only Blue Clues.

LE and TU aren't popular or good enough to be considered.

Backyardigans and Blue Clues are honorable mentions at the very least.

 

[DivineAura44]

Team Umizoomi I'm pretty sure is more popular than the Backyardigans. And it's better too in my opinion. Blue Clues probably washes Backyardigans in popularity.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Team Umizoomi I'm pretty sure is more popular than the Backyardigans

Really? Based off what?

And it's better too in my opinion.

Subjective. I vehemently disagree though.

Blue Clues probably washes Backyardigans in popularity.

You're probably right on this one lol.

 

[DivineAura44]

Vibes.

Subjective. I vehemently disagree though.

Yet you insist on it being the main way of ranking these shows.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Vibes.

Real.

Yet you insist on it being the main way of ranking these shows.

I'm just going by your logic.

 

[DivineAura44]

I'm just going by your logic.

Nuh uh

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Yet you insist on it being the main way of ranking these shows.

Plus most big 3s aren't going to be subjective anyway.

The only reason why Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece were considered the big 3 at that time because anime was mostly an obscure niche thing that was just becoming localized in America.

Nowadays, the modern big 3 for anime has a lot of options. Hell, I don't even be seeing people say that MHA is part of the big 3 for modern anime, despite it being more popular than most of them.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Nuh uh

Rugrats clears Barney any day of the week, man

 

[DaReaperMan]

Malakai Makaisson is yin o' th' best characters in Gotrek 'n' Felix, 'n' ah wull nae be proven wrong

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Rugrats clears Barney any day of the week, man

Nah I don't see it.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

Malakai Makaisson is yin o' th' best characters in Gotrek 'n' Felix, 'n' ah wull nae be proven wrong

Reaper dm'd me saying he'll pit this mf against Johnny Test, and I'm probably not gonna entertain that.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Nah I don't see it.

your loss

 

[RandomGuy2345]

your loss

Probably the most insignificant loss in my life.

 

[azontr]

Rugrats

What is your opinion on the spin-off/sequel "All Grown up"

 

[DaMonkeMan]

I haven't heard about that in literal years like over half a decade easily

 

[DaReaperMan]

Reaper dm'd me saying he'll pit this mf against Johnny Test, and I'm probably not gonna entertain that.

I mean Malakai isn't all that haxxy, it's just the Spirit of Grungi that's a problem, and it's optional equipment

And just look at him!

 

[Mr. Bambu]

What is your opinion on the spin-off/sequel "All Grown up"

Never watched it much, so I don't have much of an opinion. What small bits I saw were passable as far as children's programming goes.

 

[RandomGuy2345]

What is your opinion on the spin-off/sequel "All Grown up"

Ik you didn't ask for my opinion, but if I were to be honest...

All Grown Up was mid. It was one of those shows that you watched and kind of enjoyed, but if you were talking to your friends about cartoons and shit, you were not talking about the latest All Grown Up episode.

It was just a show on TV.



Refer to this basically.

 

[azontr]

All Grown Up was mid.

I miss whimsycally cool films, I want more of them.
I want more films like Pacific Rim and Real Steel. I want more films that aren't trying to parody something or re-make something. We've been getting too many cinematic universes or attempts to re-create the success of something that is already a thing (cough rebel moon). I just want films that aren't "self-aware" or trying and failing to have some deep meaning and commentary. I want to see more films that aren't based on something that are just really cool and you'd want to watch them again. A film that doesn't mind delving into cliches and cheesiness. The current Monsterverse franchise is doing it and their latest film despite being goofy in some ways ended up getting 600 million. Though again, what I want is more unique and original films, ones that just spontaneously appear and rock everyone's world by being so damn cool. I wanna watch Fall Guy cause it seems to be fun and cool but I did hear it bombed at the box office to everyone's surprise and dismay.
