The Fandom Flame War Thread

again, so now when I say Nirvana is wildly overrated and Jim Morrison was a drug-addled, sorry excuse for a poet my opinion now rules (in this thread, if nowhere else)? Fite me!

Nöt because yöu said it first but if yöu backed up yöur claim with legitimate pröblems with the mövie and plöt ör its characters and its tötal destructiön öf its öwn löre and universe then yöu wöuld be right.

Sö if I'm the first öne tö say that Star Wars: The Last Jedi was the wörst mövie öf all time then it is true.

So... Unpopular opinions:Fandom Edition?

I'll bite.

Thorin, Smaug, Thranduil and Bilbo > Aragorn, Sauron, Galadriel (I would've said Elrond, but Hugo Weaving is boss) and all four hobbits in LOTR, even though the former were in weaker movies than the latter.

Elementary> Sherlock

Doom 3 > Doom 2016

Family Guy > Simpsons, South Park and whatever other mainstream cartoon you want to name

Weird Al parodies > original songs roughly 50% of the time

Chris Evans made a better Human Torch than he does Captain America

Man of Steel was OK.

dark souls one is not the greatest game ever made, and it is arguably the worst game in the trilogy

*prepares flamethrower* Man of Steel is a masterpiece of cinema 

I find the rest of your opinions intriguing and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

George Carlin was an unfunny edgelord who peddled hackneyed cynicism as profundity.

Games: Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age Inquisition, KOTOR, Mass Effect Andromeda

Voltron, another Japanese cartoon that was butchered by the US editing team. Vehicle Voltron was a completely unrelated mech series to Lion Voltron, but was heavily edited so it could benefit from the Voltron name. And even Lion Voltron was rewritten in parts (like how they removed the part about Sven dying).

Both versions of The Office were unfunny.

I haven't seen the US version, but I know this to be true.

I think I get it:

- Star Wars is better than Star Trek, but this is mostly accidental.

- The Simpsons is still funnier than whatever that show is you keep comparing it to.

- Pretty much everything you loved as a kid sucks, if you really look at it. Yup, that means Pokemon, Transformers, GI Joe, Thundercats, whatever.

- Firefly is overrated.*

- Superhero movies are objectively silly, and there have still only really been about 4, maybe 5 good ones. Yes, I'm including that one with the awful ending, but what are you going to do? It was the seventies, and you weren't allowed to have everything and a watchable ending, too, that would have been too much!

- People who watch Fuller House are edging our universe closer to vacuum decay. It's true, and you can't prove it isn't!


*Let's be honest, we all know this is the one that will get me into trouble.
