Unpopular Opinions

[Sniper Team 4]

I think Korra is a much better Avatar than Aang.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

Dragon Age 2 was better than Origins. I think that's probably enough.

 

[Fractral]

Bioshock Infinite bored me to tears, and I couldn't get more than an hour into it. Same with the original.
Maybe not so unpopular, but I prefer Persona 3 Portable to Persona 4 Golden.
With a few exceptions I can't stay interested by film. For the most part just passively watching something bores me. I'd rather be reading it or playing it.

I don't think suicide is a cowardly act, and I prefer to disregard the opinions of those that call it such. People with severe mental disorders, terminally ill people, people with no positive future despite having no disorder or illness, I believe, should consider suicide. Which is more expensive: a crematorial funeral, or the afflicted to continue being a burden to family and society because these people are incapable of recovering or smartening up?

In any case, I think those that commit suicide (preferably by their own choice as opposed to coerced into it) should be lauded as heroes, as they effectively step aside for more useful, productive people to step in and advance humanity.

So, would you encourage these people to commit suicide? Or just those who were already considering it anyway? I'm not arguing, just curious.

I don't like to call myself a gamer simply because I find it weird that gaming uses that term to describe those who play and enjoy video games as a hobby or dabble in now and then while other media don't use such a term. Could you imagine calling yourself a filmie?

Like 'cinephile'? Some people enjoyed being called that. Generally the same crowd that watches midnight screenings of Bergman movies in artsy movie theatres. I'm no anthropologist, but I suppose that must be their equivalent of playing Dark Souls.

Speaking of cinema (and getting back on topic) "Blue is the Warmest Color" is one of the worst movies I've ever seen (nothing to do with the subject matter) and I think Cannes is a joke for having given it the Palm d'Or.

I thought "The Last of Us" was mediocre, derivative and vastly overrated. Both gameplay and plot-wise.

I really liked ME3's ending. More than that, I think a good portion of the flak it got was incoherent and unfair, mixing huge doses of anger with poorly understood arguments pieced together from Erik Kain's articles and a few online rants. Were the same level of scrutiny to be applied to the rest of the game, or to any other Bioware title, for that matter, and nothing would be left standing.

I like the premise of many sci-fi novels and I understand the importance of the genre, but I can't get past the horrible writing. Even the 'masterpieces' of the style seem awful to me.

Batman Begins is better than The Dark Knight.

The Dark Knight Rises is the best movie of the three.

I think Korra is a much better Avatar than Aang.

Is that unpopular? Korra is better.
But the ending actually made not that much sense, based on the previous seasons.

 

[McElroy]

I think this country's penal system is adequate in dealing with violent crime and rape.

That's the only one I can come up with... BUT it is a big one if you ask the right people.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

FMA 2003 was better than Brotherhood, and the manga by extension

ME3 ending was good

Onions go on everything, or eaten by themselves. Raw. Whole.

-I hate every Christopher Nolan Batman movie. I actually slept through the first two when I sincerely tried to watch them.
-Batman is an incredibly overrated superhero to begin with.
-Las Vegas is an uncomfortable hellhole in every conceivable way, with no redeeming qualities.
-Rich people are not ungenerous and selfish; the middle class is is the most entitled and hypocritical of the bunch.
-Common American English is one of the sexiest accents in the world... or at least -can- be.
-Good Final Fantasy games have a sword and sorcery theme - bad ones have a steampunk and futuristic theme.
-Having a Facebook is an almost intrinsically bad thing.
-Alcohol is tolerable at best, and marijuana smells like a rotting turd swimming in old milk. Neither feel good to consume.
-I like bad weather. The shittier, the better - provided I can shelter myself from it fairly readily. Heat, snow, rain, wind, I like it to extremes.
-Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is the only good one.

I don't care what anybody thinks; I look fantastic with a beard.

 

[Rastrelly]

Is that unpopular? Korra is better.

In which department this useless brick of a character is better, may I ask?

Also, on topic - I think Morrowind's combat system is the best in the series, Everyone else seems to prefer that boring crap they call "combat" from Oblivion and Skyrim.

 

[FPLOON]

I can't remember any of my unpopular opinions on demand...

With that said...I don't like how Equestria Girls, by default, is more popular than the concept of Galaxy Girls...Jak 2 is the better game in the Jak & Daxter trilogy...The DS Kingdom Hearts games (excluding the 3DS one) are slightly better than their HD cinematic counterpart...Persona 3's better than Persona 4...I love the third Rebuild movie...There may be others, but I'm not popular enough to consider them an "unpopular opinion" yet...

 

[Spider RedNight]

- Abortion is a legitimate option.
- Stanley Kubrick movies are overrated. . . Kubrick's overrated.
- The death penalty is warranted and a good idea; that or medicinal experimentation on life-sentence prisoners instead of lab testing on animals - it's a waste of good bodies to just let them stay in prison.
- Supernatural is "meh" and its fandom makes me want to gouge out someone's eyes with my pinkies.
- Dubs are better than subs - whaaaat
- Felicia Day is a dream ruiner because she's paid to do what I love to do and that's be a geek and bad at everything she tries to do; she can't sing, she can't really act, she's not funny and she's not good at video games.

-brushes off hands- I think I made a couple of good digs. I'm sure there are more but let's start small.

 

[FalloutJack]

All of my opinions has a certain reasoning behind them that people can at least appreciate WHY I came to those conclusions for myself.

 

[Poetic Nova]

-I find the first Bioshock rather boring.
-Matrix: Revolutions is a good movie; Reloaded is the worst of the triology

So, would you encourage these people to commit suicide? Or just those who were already considering it anyway? I'm not arguing, just curious.

To the severely mentally crippled and terminally ill; yes, I would encourage suicide, as their existences are a burden to any caretakers. They use beds, meds and cells that people with more "treatable" illnesses and disorders could use but can't because they're being occupied. About those with no positive future (i.e.; unwilling to work and/or attain a higher education and prefer to leech. Basically destined for prison or homelessness): these cannot be encouraged to kill themselves and don't understand their uselessness. This is starting to sound like a case of eugenics or genocide, but unless these people show a genuine desire to work and/or attain higher education (so they become people of higher value), they should be killed. The terminally ill and mentally defunct can be studied to help humanity so that the doctors of tomorrow will have an idea on what to identify and treat, or provide care for. Killing off the slackers reduces bloat on a systemic level; it makes more available resources and consumables to those that are able to work and/or pay for them, and in a way, the slackers provide a service unto themselves: spare parts. Nothing like knocking down massive organ donor lists by having a surplus of healthy parts to put into people that could put the to better use. Plus cheaper hospital bills are always a positive. Lower debt levels, less parents raising adult children. Quite a list can be made, but yanno, time constraints and all that jazz.

tl;dr: if the slackers cannot or will not serve in life, their deaths and organs can serve others.

Pandas are a useless animal and should be allowed to go extinct. Their females ovulate for only a few days out of the year and they refuse to mate. Their body composition is a carnivore (they are bears) but have become cripplingly overspecialized by existing almost solely on a diet of bamboo. Breeding them in captivity for release is pointless because they don't even have a habitat anymore.

Rather than preserving every single shred of biodiversity, we should focus on saving animals that actually have a future.

 

[Matt King]

I don't like the starter pokemon in any of their games, i usually end up replacing them after a few gyms for something else.

 

[Ikasury]

I think Korra is a much better Avatar than Aang.

of all the ones i saw up here... have to quote this one as i totally believe it too!! XD

OT: Fanfiction is awesome and better then most of the stuff in Barne's & Nobels right now...

i like the camp-er then camp Batman & Robin way better then the Nolan Batman trilogy combined...

i did not and still am not very impressed with the Marvel movies, they're 'okay' at best imo...

Sailor Mercury and Krillan are the most badass/important characters in their respective series, because without them shit would have ended with season 1...

i hate Final Fantasy 7, Sephiroth, Cloud and Arieth's love-triangle of doom is likely the reason Twilight exists and the best and most developed characters in that one were Yuffie and Vincent and those were the OPTIONAL characters...

-Fuck Handsome Jack.

He took my loot based shoot-'em up and filled it with the same type of self absorbed inanity that I hate on the internet. The Borderlands universe just became a stage for "What's Handsome Jack going to do next?!".

- On the same token, fuck people's general attitudes now.

The "If you don't agree with me, you're stupid and wrong" mindset that everyone seems to have now isn't brilliant, it isn't revolutionary, you're not a trailblazer since you're absolutely following a well-worn trail that almost 80% of the net population follows now.

People can have different opinions, and you can address them. That's great. That's discourse. But to de-evolve into insults and rage doesn't fix anything. It doesn't open minds. It creates divides and we get no where in a conversation. It takes no effort to stay as a moody 12 year old kid who only knows curses and dismissal as ways of 'communicating'. It takes stronger people to be ready to be proven wrong or find new ways of thinking.

- I'm tired of certain women who are not conventionally attractive trying to guilt people to find their shape/"off beat looks" to be attractive.

Here's the thing. I'm black. My culture tends to like curvier women as it is. So I honestly have no problem being attracted to a heavier girl. But there have been more than a few instances where I wasn't attracted to a girl of a certain size and she's convinced that it was due to that.

They ran off and told our mutual friends that. I had so many people come up to me, shaming me for not giving these girls a chance.

First off.. what's the problem with that? Why should I even feel bad if I wasn't able to find fat women attractive (once again, I do)? I've had girls who turned me down because they weren't attracted to Black Guys try to make me feel bad that I didn't give a girl who was overweight a chance. If you can see my skin color first, why can't I see anything else of a woman that I might find displeasing first?

Secondly, I know for a fact (since it happened to me) that girls don't go run to other girls and try to shame a girl into liking guys. Before when this type of thing happened, both men and women would tell me to be a man, suck it up and try again. We're not allowed to have feelings. Just accept your loss and move on. I never got anyone going the extra mile trying to shame someone into liking me.

So Why are guys always supposed to find the inner beauty of a woman, while a woman can be discerning? It's like "Hey, you have a dick. Feel grateful that anyone selected you"

What "use" is any creature, including humans? Usually, living is considered an end in itself, not least by humans.
