Unpopular fandom opinion

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think we've done this too recently - forgive me if we have. But you know the drill - maybe nothing big enough to merit a secret, but something you'd like to get off your chest.

I like Frank Miller.

Not sure how "unpopular" is, but - and I say this as someone who has complained about Glee since season two - I'm beginning to think a lot of the Glee haters are people who the show isn't trying to reach in the first place. The people I know who still like Glee seem exactly the type of person the show is trying to attract - they love all things music (Broadway, American Idol, random old songs, anything, and that's why they seem to watch. Whereas people - like me, initially - who just want a show with plotlines and can take or leave the music aren't really who the show is aimed towards.

I know there's a lot of reasons to dislike Glee that even the "target audience" agrees on, I just feel like some of the hate is due to the show not being something it wasn't trying to be in the first place.

The only interesting characters in Korra are Tenzin and Lin. Asami is also 100x more bland and uninteresting than Mai was. It's a shame she wasted a spot that could have been filled with a female character that had flaws and personality.

I think DreamWorks is better than Pixar.

This is more internet than fandom, but I'm getting tired of everything funny having to also be shocking and horrifying. When did everything have to be seventh grade homeroom humor at best, frat boy humor at worst? But if I say this, I'm an overly PC prude who can't take a joke.

I'm so out of the loop on what's a popular opinion or not. Like, I was surprised (pleasantly) to find that pretty much everyone shipped a thing exactly how I shipped the thing, with multiple fics backing it up and everything. I really have no idea is my opinions are unpopular.

I think the Star Trek reboot is an abomination that never should have been made, but I also think it's ultimately a good thing if it means more people getting into Trek and breathing new life into the fandom. (And yes, I know these are contradictory opinions.)

I feel the same way about XMFC, because there can never be enough X-Men fic.

I loved the old Lara Croft, and it makes me so fucking angry to hear people go on about how "She was nothing but a sex object for fanboys" before this reboot.

Yes, she did get sexualized quite a bit in some of the later games, but she never stopped being an awesome badass. I think if you look at a character like original or even 1st reboot Lara and dismiss her as nothing but a sex object, if you can't see any value to the character other than her body and physical design then you have such ingrained problems with women that you rival the average misogynistic fanboy.

AND THEN to compare original or 1st reboot lara UNFAVORABLY to the new lara. Jesus.

I loved the epilogue in the seventh Harry Potter book. I can understand why people don't, and yeah, the Lily Junior etc. was a little grating, but I thought it made sense for the series. Besides, Harry Potter was never going to have a Les Mis type ending. It works for fics, but that's not where JKR was ever going.

I don't like X-Men: First Class. I think it's a horribly written and sexist. Not even the likes of McAvoy, who I adore, could save it for me.

I think that Elementary has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes beyond the names. It's just a slightly better than average police procedural and it's a pity that the creators felt the need to ride on Sherlock's coattails instead of letting it stand on its own.

Most of the time, I couldn't give a fuck about how diverse a cast is.* I only care about how good the actors are. I think it's insulting when fans focus on the race of the cast over how good the acting is. I would be insulted considering how much work I probably had put into the craft of acting only to be reduced to my race and nothing more.



*(Unless the program is set in a play like NYC or LA and the story is built around a job that should be diverse like a cop precinct or a hospital but the cast is either all or almost white or all/almost black. That's when my brain kicks in and goes, "No, I can't buy this.")

Takahashi Ai is so overwhelmingly overrated it's kind of ridiculous. She's a sweet girl, but she is not the performer some think.

Also I'm glad that Kaneko Rie graduated. I feel bad for her fans, but she was really a terrible performer.

Basically unpopular Hello!Project fan opinions.

Re: Unpopular fandom opinion

American Gods is my favourite Neil Gaiman book.

[asecretchord]

I truly don't mind when people "woobie-fy the Snape." And in many cases, I like fanon better than canon.

Re: Unpopular fandom opinion

Veronica Mars is overrated.

I'm watching it right now (middle of season 2) and I like it, but the way some people have talked about it it's the best thing since the invention of the wheel. I absolutely do absolutely love how they handled the 'Veronica might not be Keith's biological daughter' storyline, and I love pretty much all of the characters, but I don't see why it's supposed to be the best show EVAR!!1!11!!


Also, while I do ship Veronica/Logan and Veronica/Weevil, the pairing I ship most is Keith/Don. There is nothing in this world that can convince me that Don didn't hero-worship the hell out of Keith and his asshole behaviour is just him trying to tell himself that he's not in love with his disgraced, out of shape middle-aged ex-boss.

I'm not enjoying Pokémon Y any where near as much as I hoped I would.

Sherlock BBC, why.

[(Anonymous)]

Not sure it's unpopular, but considering the amount of posts and reblogs I've seen around it should be:

I've HATED Sherlock's season 3 first episode. And I loved all about the two previous seasons. Just this one... ugh. I hated what they did with Molly and with Anderson, I couldn't stand Mycroft, I didn't like how John reacted, I didn't like how Sherlock behaved, the whole plot was unforgivably long-stretched and boring with a LOT of slo-mo crap, the soundtrack was horrendous, the deductions are starting to sound more and more ridiculous... JESUS HOW WAS THIS PART OF THE SERIES. Or is it maybe just me not being into it anymore? I don't know. :/

I don't mind Levi, but I just think that he is kind of boring, and I couldn't care less about where his character's story ends up in the manga. And his side spin off story makes me yawn, it's so bland. If it wasn't for his relationship with Erwin I probably wouldn't even care about his character at all. I actually find characters in SnK like Eren and Ymir far more interesting than him.

Re: Unpopular fandom opinion

I think Planescape Torment is shit.

SHIT.

Re: Unpopular fandom opinion

Not sure how unpopular this opinion is since I'm not in the fandom, but here goes. It doesn't surprise me that Aang was a neglectful father to Kya and Bumi and tbh it makes a lot of sense that he would focus on the only airbender child he had. He wanted to perserve his culture and make sure it lived on through Tenzin.

Re: Unpopular fandom opinion

Actually one more -- the best thing to happen to black metal was Darkthrone stopped taking it seriously.

Re: Unpopular fandom opinion

I hate "this character watch this series/movies" references in fic.
Most of the time they don't even have a point, except as a way for the author to give the character their same tastes.

I side-eye people who claim to be HUGE geeks but have no idea what fanfiction or fandom culture is. Not necessarily an active participant, but not even knowing that fanfiction exists.
