"I love it, except..."

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by Secret #9 - what are some things you love, and might even consider perfect... were it not for one thing that really bugs you? Or a few things that really bug you?

Re: "I love it, except..."

Harry Potter: How Arthur Weasley seems to think of muggles as a science experiment. I even love Arthur Weasley except for that.

Parks and Recreation: The Charlie Brown factor of Leslie's character when it comes to the rest of Pawnee just bothers me and almost turned me off the show completely. I get that the idea is that she's devoted to her town no matter what, and that politics isn't always rewarding, but good lord does it ever get contrived. I actually wish in the fifth/sixth seasons when they were reckoning with her (if you will) that they'd at least pointed out more of her actual mistakes, like trying to blackmail someone in season one - then it would actually make sense.

I love Arthur and I still agree with you on that. Actually, I don't think Arthur was alone. Even non-pureblood supremacists seemed to think themselves superior (and not just in a we have magic powers and you don't way but in a sort of patronizing way). Heck even Hermione seemed to think that way and her parents are muggles.

Re: "I love it, except..." *spoilers* Firefly/Serenity just in case

I love the universe, but I just can't get over Wash dying.

I've had characters I like die before and not feel that way - hell, even some in other Whedon franchises. But that one, that one I just can't get over; It sours the whoile series for me.

I'm more annoyed by how people don't seem to care as much about Book. I won't read a fic that brings back one but not the other, unless it's really good and/or fills a rare niche (e.g., the A:tLA crossover, which is great, but could have benefited so much from bringing them both back, in terms of inter-canon character interaction).

Re: "I love it, except..." *spoilers* Firefly/Serenity just in case

[kallanda_lee]

I was also annoyed about Book a lot (both felt rather gratuitous, really) but I think I'm more annoyed about Wash because I really, really loved Wash/Zoe as a couple. They were one of those rare truly loving, functional marriage on TV - let alone in the genres I watch. So it felt extra awful because it was breaking them up.

Re: "I love it, except..." *spoilers* Firefly/Serenity just in case

[philstar22]

Yes! I'm more annoyed at Book. At least Wash got a joke and a great scene and we saw his death. Book got nothing really, and he was barely mourned.

Re: "I love it, except..." *spoilers* Firefly/Serenity just in case

[(Anonymous)]

I saw Serenity before Firefly, and Wash was so understated in the film that I didn't even realize what a blow his death was supposed to be. Like, I basically thought the whole was really about Mal, Simon and River. So it bugs me for that reason as well.

(OT but interesting tidbit, I assumed Inara was Mal's ex wife or at least his ex girlfriend.)

Re: "I love it, except..." *spoilers* Firefly/Serenity just in case

[cloud_riven]

Yep yep.

And speaking of Firefly, I am still not okay with the movie giving Reavers an actual face and ruining whatever thing was more terrifying to imagine. Actually, I didn't like Serenity much aside from Summer Glau flipping around and beating things up, but I still could have done without ever watching it at all tbh.

The part you didn't hate is the part I hated.

Re: "I love it, except..." *spoilers* Firefly/Serenity just in case

[(Anonymous)]

YAH i AM baiscally this way about it. It wasn't good at all and i think ots of people just like it because it was realted to Firefly and they would take anything that was tossed their way.

Re: "I love it, except..."

I love the Star Wars Original Trilogy, but I dislike how slapped together it feels. I know WHY it's like that but that doesn't really make it any better.

Re: "I love it, except..."

[(Anonymous)]

I love Hannibal (the tv series) except for a lot of stuff in S2.

Margot bugs me. Just... most of the decisions regarding her character.
Also how they wrote Will in S2. I also dislike how they write some of the dialogue - they use Will's interior way of thinking, but his exterior way of speaking is very different from that.

It makes me concerned for how good S3 will be, which is a shame, because S1 was excellent.

Re: "I love it, except..."

[philstar22]

I loved season 1 of Hannibal. Season 2 was really meh for me. I ended up stopping, and I still haven't seen most of the second half. I'm not quite sure what it was or why my love died, but it died really fast.

It is what you were. it isn't what you could be.

Danny Phantom

[(Anonymous)]

I love Danny Phantom but I hate how "rich girls" are pretty much demonized unless they hate their background or get taken down a peg.

I like Sam's character I just don't like how she's okay because she "hates" her background and resents her rich parents, and as the show goes on she becomes perfect. There's a LOT of hypocritical stuff about her character I wish they acknowledged.

SA

[(Anonymous)]

To clarify what bugs me the most about it is the difference between the other girls and Sam being "different" I suppose. It just has that flavor of "not like other (rich) girls"

Re: "I love it, except..."

[kaijinscendre]

I love it, except Matthew McConaughey is in it. This goes for every movie ever with him in it.
I loved 12 Years of Slave except Brad Pitt. I get why he had to be in it, but still.

Re: "I love it, except..."

I love the first How to Train Your Dragon movie except for the romantic subplot. I didn't think it made sense for Astrid to do a complete 180° turn when her whole life she'd been looking forward to killing dragons, then smooching Hiccup at the end. I wish it'd had been something like giving Hiccup the benefit of the doubt and not wanting to be a jerk to him anymore instead of straight-up romance.

Also don't get me started on how underutilized she and the rest of the cast are in the sequel.

Re: "I love it, except..."

[ginainthekingsroad]

DS9, but for the handling of the Emissary business. It's my single least-favorite aspect of the show and Sisko's character in particular. I didn't like it from the beginning, although I felt there were still some good things that they could do with it. And the more conventional the Prophets became, the less interesting they subsequently were.

Re: "I love it, except..."

I love Avatar except for Kataang and Maiko. (No, I don't ship Zutara either.)

Friday Night Lights

[(Anonymous)]

I love it except for the way Julie's very obvious depression was treated as just not being anything real after the fling with her TA got out. That the problem was just like she was embarrassed and her *guidance counselor* mother was all "yeah, get over it and go back to school," just grinds my gears so much.

I can forgive murdergate and I can forgive things like Riggins' age making no sense whatsoever, Santiago disappearing into the ether, random Lyla/Riggins between seasons and Smash's storyline just getting really weird for a bit there in season 3, but this thing with Julie? Ugh. Hate it. And I don't even really LIKE Julie!

Re: "I love it, except..."

[siofrabunnies]

Drake and Josh, except for the sister. If she had more pet the dog moments, or ever got in trouble at all, it would be better. But, blech.

Criminal Minds, except for Elle, double except for her exit. Her personality just grated against me so wrong, but she went out really strongly.

The Reefer Madness musical movie, except for the "Brownie" sequence. And the fact that people seem to think you have to be a stoner in order to appreciate satire about marijuana propaganda.

Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame. Amazing, if unfaithful, adaption. But, dear god, why</>i would you cast Kevin Klein in a musical, and then give him nothing to sing?!

Re: "I love it, except..."

[(Anonymous)]

I only tolerated Drake and Josh's sister because I absolutely loved her clothes.

"I love it except you nagged me about it so much that every time I see it I feel such a heavy dose of resignation and hatred that eliminates any chance of enjoyment"
