Some things/people are often compared as cohorts (Eric Kripke vs Joss Whedon, Tom Cruise vs Brad Pitt, Harry Potter vs Percy Jackson, etc). One is often considered better/more popular than the other. What are some of these pairings where you are a bigger fan of the last popular one?

Dean Koontz > Stephen King. Koontz writes better characters, better endings, and has like 99% less sexual assault in his books than King.

To each their own, but the Koontz books I've read all had weird, Christian bookstore undertones that were kind of a turn-off.

Huh, I never got that from his books.

Next time you're doing a reread, keep an eye out for the Evil Scientists and Other Intellectuals, atheists/humanists, and the context in which abortion is mentioned.

SA- It's not super blatant, usually, and I definitely wouldn't judge anyone if they never noticed/it doesn't bug them. But I lived in the Bible Belt for long enough that certain literary quirks remind me of the kids I knew whose parents wouldn't let them read stuff like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson (witches and pagans! gasp!), so they'd try to get you into their random off-brand books about teenagers who talked to angels and had to defeat evil occultists led by expy Richard Dawkins and such.

Harry Potter > Percy Jackson. However, Rick Riordan >>>>>>> JK Rowling.

Naruto > Bleach.

This is interesting to me since those two were greatly unrelated in my fandom experience. The last time was was really interactive in fandom were my Naruto years but I never came across any controversy between the two, in fact I always assumed Naruto was the most popular of all the anime at the time, but that may have to do with me being a fan of it.

Digimon’s better than Pokemon.

I think that's the popular opinion if you're comparing the animes and the unpopular one if you're talking about the games.

Nope. Digimon > Pokemon (like idk if Digimon even had a game outside of those handheld pet toys) is always the unpopular opinion no matter which platform you view it on.

Agreed <3

BUT WHAT ABOUT MONSTER RANCHER?!

Severely underrated on both accounts.

DD!

Captain America > The Winter Soldier

I mean it's a very close call and most of it has to do my genuine love of the first movie despite most peoples critiques about it. What it really comes down to is that the first movie deals with origin, growth, and dedication, while (being absolutely remarkable) the second movie deals mostly with (naturally) the aftermath of that. I just feel there is that much more to explore in the first than in he second even though I love them both.
