Pink Floyd sucks, Mad Men is boring, and other [Unpopular Opinions]

UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
So, unpopular opinions. People have them.

I'm infamous for them

Others here possess them

Armond White has them

Everybody has them, and are oftentimes called out for it. That's okay! People are allowed to dissent, and people are allowed to show their distaste for dissent. What I would like to create here is a safe haven to just let all those unpopular, contrary attitudes flow like wine

Maybe you need an outlet to just let the world know something that you disagree with the majority on

Maybe you think Two and a Half Men is a legitimately great show and want to tell everyone why

Maybe you like Frank Miller better than Stan Lee and want to explain the method to your madness

I want to know where you all break from the crowd

Now, just a couple things first:

1) I'd really like to keep this free from personal attacks. People have a tendency to attack a person's character over the things they enjoy/don't enjoy, and/or their social/political viewpoints. It's an unfortunate side effect that sometimes happens when you're passionate about things. That's cool. But I'd really like it kept out of this thread if possible.

2) If you're going to participate at all in this thread, you should maybe learn how to separate objectivity from subjectivity on your own without anyone specifically telling you. If someone comes in and says "Monty Python and the Holy Grail is awful," you should know, without them specifying, that it is, in fact, just their opinion and not objective fact; you shouldn't feel the need to retort with "Well actually Monty Python and the Holy Grail is objectively well-made and it's just your opinion that it's bad and maybe you should put IMO so people don't confuse your opinion with fact" and yadda yadda everyone already knows this, so please, spare people the aggravation and spare yourself an aneurysm.

    Final Fantasy games are mostly stupid and boring and the rabid fandom that some of them have is bizarre.
    40k is vastly inferior to WHFB

    On this note: Spaced.

    I love all the Edgar Wright films so far, and was supremely let down by Spaced. It is just horribly unfunny and uninteresting.

    doctor who fucking sucks

    Seriously, worst shit I've ever seen. While watching, I wanted to shoot myself, shoot the TV, fly over to jolly old England and shoot the producer and all of the actors and set fire to the studio it's filmed in. Whenever someone mentions they like it, I secretly put them on my list of Those People.

    I don't get excited about steaks.

    I love them while eating them, but it's pretty rare that I'll actually cook one or order one at a restaurant.

    my unpopular opinions tend to be more like liking things most people don't rather than disliking things

    The real unpopular opinion would be "I FUCKING LOVE PRIME RIB"

    which is of course the worst opinion. Prime Rib is quite possibly the most overrated bullshit ever.

    I'm not really fond of Pixar movies. They seem to have like a checklist of 'what will appeal to the most people and also be teeth-rottingly sweet' tropes that they must hit every time. They're pretty well-made and animated, but I feel pretty much nothing while watching them.

    Final Fantasy XIII, while pretty flawed in some major ways, was actually pretty fun.

    I got so bored with IX that I didn't even finish it.

    VII is still the best.
