Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@Sparx
Outside of “so bad it’s good,” I’ll say that it’s a “at least bad made me feel an emotion” mindset.

The concept of “guilty pleasures” is kind of dumb.

There’s nothing wrong with liking something that isn’t well received by most other people. Just own your hot take.

@Meanlucario
I asked some peeps in a discord group and that’s a similar response they gave.

That and it generates discussion and discourse. Gets people’s attention and to enjoy ragging on it and such

Mp3 Downloader Converter is far superior than all the known music streaming websites.

Geopolitics are more complex than “good guys and bad guys”

I haven’t seen Encanto yet, so as it is now, I don’t think the songs from it are that special, especially the most popular song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”. The song sounded like utter chaos that I couldn’t follow what was going on music wise.

@Myoozik
Helps to listen to it a second time. It’s very layered.

I think the “just watch 3 episodes of a show instead of giving up” argument is very silly. If the show is good, it has to be good right in the first episode, like Cowboy Bebop for example. Just get to the point and don’t waste my time.

@Ring Team
3 episodes sounds…pretty reasonable though. Some shows are gonna have a slow start before things really get going. Now if people are saying “it takes 13 episodes” or something like that then it becomes a problem

@Kiryu-Chan
The first three episodes of FiM are pretty boring tbh.

@Mikey
I like the third one.

@Mikey
eh, i think the intro two parter was OK, within the context of the fairly weak first season, it’s really important to remember that FiM had a very smooth upward climb in quality until starlight ruined it and the whole thing crashed and burned super hard,

@Kiryu-Chan
It depends.

For example, a couple of years ago I watched the first episode of Boku no Hero Academia. As soon as I finished it, I quitted because it was so slow, so obvious, no wit, no charm and it was so repetitive.

The same year I watched the first episode of One Punch Man after watching a review about “how deep and good the show is”. But it was very boring and it had a purple guy with the face of a Dragon ball character in a goofy underwear. Not only the first episode didn’t match with the expectations that the review created, but I also realized that action films or shows are not my thing anymore. They have the same music, the same punches and the same silly designs.

At least shows like Six Feet Under and Succession have really good first episodes.

@Ring Team
I couldn’t get through the first ep of Kill la Kill (or whatever it’s called), so I agree.

@Thanotos Omega
We much watch two very different FiMs than since the show had plenty of problems before and after Starlight, who turned into the best character after her poor redemption. The only reason it had a “smooth upward climb” was because it had no real competition due to people still had the “it’s a show for little girls, why put in effort?” mentality.

@Meanlucario
Oh, I had to watch 19 episodes just because some fans are so extreme and defensive.

@Meanlucario

As i’ve already stated before, i see the general quality of MLP as having been cyclical - one great season, followed by two successively worse (although them being worse than the previous one does not imply they were bad) seasons, and then the cycle began anew. The great seasons in this context having been 1, 4 and 7.

Although if we wish to continue that discussion, we oughta move to the regular Unpopular opinion thread.

@Ring Team
Some fans are like that. Just don’t make yourself miserable and humor them (which sounds like what you did).

@Mildgyth
I’m good with stopping this now.

@Ring Team
Yeah, i always feel bad for RWBY, having 3 mediocre volumes with badly aged art before we finally get consistenly better writing and the huge improvements that came with the change from Poser to maya for the animation software,

@Thanotos Omega
I’m still in volume 6, so no spoilers please. Just in case.

@Ring Team
Ah 6 a very good volume, obviously a step down due to lacking the better side characters 4 and 5 had and returning to the narrative dead end that is JNR, but still a fine volume,

I still like the Fast and Furious series.

@Thanotos Omega
Rwby’s writing gotten worse to be honest. Also the best animated volume for me was volume 3. They all look more like bobbleheads, the females at least…

@Ring Team
Ring , you are actually insane XD

@Sparx
That comment really caught me off guard, I laughed a lot. xD
