I'm a young buck and I have nothing but sheer animosity for it as well

This gives off the impression that you think XYZ isn't as good as people say it is. Unless I'm misreading things, since you put it right next to KNY.I don't think that's an uncommon opinion at all...
I mean, look at Demon Slayer. Or Pokemon XYZ
Oh that's correct. I don't think it's the peak of the Pokémon anime that people say it is. Not by a long shotThis gives off the impression that you think XYZ isn't as good as people say it is. Unless I'm misreading things, since you put it right next to KNY.
I do agree with that sentiment. Like, it's good if you're an action fan, or enjoy more traditional Shonen stuff, but it doesn't feel all to like Pokémon. Also that final league battle will forever piss me off. Sure the typing advantage was in Alain's favor, but Ash vs Sawyer was a whole lot more climatic.Oh that's correct. I don't think it's the peak of the Pokémon anime that people say it is. Not by a long shot
Hasn't it become a lot more controversial at time went on? Precisely for the Shonen stuff I've read around.Oh that's correct. I don't think it's the peak of the Pokémon anime that people say it is. Not by a long shot
Yeah, people are now more willing to criticize it in spite of the rabid fanbase. Personally, I think all of Diamond and Pearl, Sun and Moon, and Journeys are better than it.Hasn't it become a lot more controversial at time went on? Precisely for the Shonen stuff I've read around.
Sun and Moon was pretty wild.Yeah, people are now more willing to criticize it in spite of the rabid fanbase. Personally, I think all of Diamond and Pearl, Sun and Moon, and Journeys are better than it.
Can I also say I found the Ruby and Saphire series to be better?Yeah, people are now more willing to criticize it in spite of the rabid fanbase. Personally, I think all of Diamond and Pearl, Sun and Moon, and Journeys are better than it.
I could see it. I need to rewatch that one tbhCan I also say I found the Ruby and Saphire series to be better?
Can't wait to see your thoughts on the "lightning armour" episode.I could see it. I need to rewatch that one tbh
I know that one. It's the same kind of hilarious BS as Hawlucha's "Gear 2nd" in the Kalos League and Dracovish's spikes in the Masters TournamentCan't wait to see your thoughts on the "lightning armour" episode.
Diamond and Pearl>>>Oh that's correct. I don't think it's the peak of the Pokémon anime that people say it is. Not by a long shot
Journeys is a massive stretch.Yeah, people are now more willing to criticize it in spite of the rabid fanbase. Personally, I think all of Diamond and Pearl, Sun and Moon, and Journeys are better than it.
Still haven't watched it yet, but this does remind me of something I've been wanting to say for a while (it's not really a hot take per say, but I've been meaning to get this off my chest).Am i an ancient fossil boomer or is this Hazbin Hotel stuff insanely cringe, like i can't even watch a clip because the dialogue is so bad.
It's just factual I'm afraidJourneys is a massive stretch.
Agree to disagree. Journeys was genuinely a pain to get through until the finale.It's just factual I'm afraid
Honestly I don't have a whole lot of quote unquote "unpopular" opinions, but I do have strong feelings to 2 particular topics:
And 2. Horror games where you're playing a game of hide and seek against monsters that you can't defend against or fend off are honestly pretty boring to play. I get the appeal behind those types of games is that you're facing off against impossible odds and need to try getting past that, but I get a lot more engagement out of survival games because a good chunk of the horror comes from managing your resources and not accidentally leaving yourself in a very vulnerable position. Games like Resident Evil and others of its type are great examples of this.
I do have more then these ones, but these examples were on top of my head when I thought of examples so they were the ones I chose.
That's not unpopular that's just a factResident Evil 4 is peak fiction.
Western food is actually good, there's my take. The world would be a horrible place without Italian and Latin dishes.Western food sucks
I think Alan Wake 1 is another example of a game that's very fun to play, but not necessarily scary because you're giving so much ammo to fight off Taken (but that's not to say that Alan Wake is a bad game, it and it's sequel are in my top 20 games of all time lost). If we're talking about a game that balances being scary and being fun to play, I think Dead Space 1 is a great example since you don't feel overpowered against the Necromorphs but you don't feel helpless either and it feels satisfying fighting them.Balancing gameplay and horror can be pretty hard. I mean making a game scary without feeling like a chore. Dunno, but for example, Resident Evil 4 is an absolute blast of a game but it's never scary because Leon is too strong and awesome. I think feeling vulnerable or even helpless is what helps being scared, but the question is pulling it off without making the gameplay suffer. I kinda remember earlier horror games like the first Silent Hills pulled this off pretty well, but that was mostly due to clunky gameplay that was acceptable back then and wouldn't fly nowadays.
Don't know if this is unpopular or not, but gross-out humor is not funny. At all.One thing that really rubbed me the wrong way in later seasons was the huge increase in both grossout and mean spirited humor.
Hmmm... I need to play the Alan Wake series. There's a frigton of stuff I have to play, but Alan is high up there.I think Alan Wake 1 is another example of a game that's very fun to play, but not necessarily scary because you're giving so much ammo to fight off Taken (but that's not to say that Alan Wake is a bad game, it and it's sequel are in my top 20 games of all time lost). If we're talking about a game that balances being scary and being fun to play, I think Dead Space 1 is a great example since you don't feel overpowered against the Necromorphs but you don't feel helpless either and it feels satisfying fighting them.
Ultimately my complaint comes down to the issue that games where it's mostly hiding and stuff get very boring to play after a while and, though it's the intent, not having a lot of engagement makes those kinds of games ones that you play once and don't touch again for a very long time.
Well, it does have its audience. I personally don't like it either.Don't know if this is unpopular or not, but gross-out humor is not funny. At all.
It's extremely rare for gross-out humor to even get a light chuckle out of me, and shows that focus too much on it are often a bad watch for me (i.e. Ren and Stimpy and Flapjack).

AgreeSecond and last attempt with the spicier ones
D&D and TTRPGs in general
People who think character optimization is bad in D&D (and other games as well but D&D is the big one) and/or that you can't do it AND have good role-play at the same time shouldn't be allowed to get within 3 kilometers of a game table.
I do need to read Berserk properly, but from what I've heard the excessive grimness of it is mainly necessary so that the moral of continuing to struggle no matter how bad things get is more poignant. I don't think the author includes ultraviolence and grimdark themes to try to be edgy (except in the first few parts, which presumably just happened before he decided what he actually wanted the series to be), but to really emphasize that theme of no matter HOW bad things get.(I'm about to be shot for this one I feel)
Having read about the first half of the first and all of the second...Beserk and Attack on Titan are overrated (keep in mind, things tend to be overrated when they're good to begin with). I suspect a lot of it comes from the gore and...other...stuff they use, making people falsely believe the story to be more "mature" and/or "realistic" than others based on that alone.
Agree. As I have pondered deeply and had a lot of character development around the concept of skill in general and why I like it so much, I've come to the same conclusions.Skill?
Skill debates can be fun and are important in a fight, though not always and not as important as some people seem to think.
There should also be more "ties".
Finally, clearly phisically impossible "skill feats" (from cutting space to dodging rain or anything that doesn't leave enough space to dodge to sensing stuff from other dimentions and more) should not be treated as anythting but powers, AT MOST letting one "scale" above another in-verse (as flawed of a reasoning as "skill-scaling" can become)
I agree, and I would love this change to happen. But in my years of arguing for it (admittedly with some pretty terrible arguments), I have come to the conclusion it's a lost cause, like many unfortunate aspects of the wiki (Stats
Stat equal matches should be added to profiles, you just need to create proper rules and regulations and it can (and will) work just as well as, if not better than, speed equalization
HmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmBang! (no, not the card game, sadly)
Guns in near-enough all of "superpower/fantasy fiction" are turbo-cringe and they should be removed from any story the moment a character tanks being thrown through buildings and/or dodges anything resembling a lightning bolt (or other feats on that scale and above)
They're also cringe irl but that's a whole different conversation that we won't get into here.
It made me quit the franchiseOh that's correct. I don't think it's the peak of the Pokémon anime that people say it is. Not by a long shot
