Topic: Other Unpopular Opinions (non-gaming tech/media)

That's why I don't subscribe. If I care enough about their content, I'll just remember to pop into their channel every once in a while. If I don't remember, then obviously they weren't worth the mind-space, and therefore not worth my time.

I just don't get the hype surrounding Attack on Titan.

I'm a HUGE anime fan, and while I'm heavily biased towards the stuff that was on while I was in middle/high school (InuYasha, Rurouni Kenshin, DBZ, and Neon Genesis Evangelion, to name a few), I do find myself liking & even enjoying a lot of the "New Age" anime (Sword Art Online, Kill la Kill, Kyokai no Rinne, and One Piece), Attack on Titan just doesn't click with me for whatever reason.

It's not a bad show by any means, as it has detailed art, smooth action, and a decent enough story I suppose, but it just doesn't come off as anything all that interesting, IMO.

@RR529: Me with Fate Stay.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann actually does deserve the Greatest Anime Ever Made title. I say this unironically.

I'm the same way, with there being so much buzz about it I've asked people who the like show what's so good about it and they all say the same thing of "it's decent but not brilliant" so I'm confused as to where the hype is coming from.

Speaking about anime, I grew up watching Captain Tsubasa and Akakichi no Eleven, but I've been watching Inazuma Eleven recently and I thought it was pretty good. It's certaily better than Tsubasa - at least there is something interesting happening in every episode and the kids over 13 don't look like they're on steroids.

I honestly think, as far as great super robot shows go, Gunbuster is one of Gainax's finest works.

@Mario90125: I think you mean "heptalogy."

Or 4 out of the 7 movies are so bad he doesn't count them.

-Jar Jar Binks is not a bad character. He's one of the most kind and selfless ones in the whole saga; especially when you take the admirable roles he played in TCW into account. Sure you could say he's a bit annoying, but aren't we all in our own ways? Compare him to the living costume that is Boba Fett, whom did next to nothing in the films, yet still remains a popular character. The SW fandom is backwards with its logic.

-Disney's marketing really stinks for boys nowadays. Go into any Disney store and all you'll see is Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar's Cars. I mean I love Star Wars and all that, but come on. They have some of the most cherished characters of all time, and they resort to ones you can find in any regular store? I bought a very cool Captain Hook figure from the Disney Heroes line awhile back, that was a Disney store exclusive from 2006 (Look him up! He's awesome!) Why can't that stuff still be around? Surely boys would be as interested in Mickey Mouse or Peter Pan toys as Star Wars or Marvel.

That makes it four. So.. a quadrilogy. Or a tetralogy. Tetrilogy?

@Cyb3Rnite: That makes it 3. 7 - 4 = 3.

@TylerTheCreator: Oh, right. I somehow read it as four instead of three. I must've been sleepy or something.

I don't listen to them anymore because I'm over my 7th grade emo phase, but Simple Plan was a lot different (read: better) before they turned into a Top 40 band. Their new songs are good, though. Maybe I just have some nostalgia for being a carefree emo weeb.

Modern Family is overrated garbage. I don't know why it was even nominated for an Emmy award.
The jokes are dry, the episodes are boring, and the camera angles, while it makes the show kinda unique, isn't just worth it, IMO.

I agree. Also along these lines: Laugh tracks and other "audience participation," sounds, hate 'em. It's treating the viewer as if they are stupid. "Man fall down, hurr hurr hurr."

Actually TBBT has a live studio audience..

Anyway I loved that show a while back, but the problem it that it eventually wears thin. There is no meaningful plot whatsoever. It's literally just joke after joke after joke. Admittedly though, I foundd the jokes hilarious until they got old. My personal favorites are when Sheldon and Penny act a scene together, and when the guys make fun of Penny's boyfriend Zack.

They do use a laugh track, but they do also film in front of a live audience, the laugh tracks are added over the top of the audience's reaction. Mrs Brown's Boys is my exception to the rule, because the cast will break the fourth wall and acknowledge the audience.

Something emotional is said
Audience: Awwww
Brendan O'Carrol/Mrs Brown to the audience: It's a man in a fe#$%ng dress.

I don't think Tina Fey is funny. At all.

Shows can still have a live audience and can-laughter or just mess with the sound levels.

I wouldn't even say it has jokes in it, it seems more like references to things.

I mean, the jokes include references, but they are generally said in a humorous way.

For example: https://youtu.be/3MBV-mKq8no?t=1m27s

Now it's not really funny to me anymore, mostly because it got old. But I don't see how a scene like that couldn't be funny on the first watch.
