Overrated Stuff - Likes and Dislikes
Hello guys, have you ever had the feeling that some stuff are too mainstream and popular like Naruto?
First let me explain it to you for some understanding before posting.
MEANINGS
Overrated:
Rated more highly (as in popularity) than is deserved.
Mainstream:
the ideas, attitudes, or activities that are popular with or shared by most people
If you get the idea, then post your Likes and Hates for the overrated stuff that you know of which you feel about it.
Here is my example I can show you...
Mitchfoxbane's Mainstream List
LIKES
1. Wolves - who could anyone love wolves?
2. Lone wolf/semi-evil anti-heros - I usually adore those character types with sad pasts or something
3. Yamato "Matt" Ishida, Ruki Makino (a.k.a Rika Nonaka), Kouji Minamoto and Kouichi Kimura of the Digimon series - aww...how could anyone resist them?
4. Wolf's Rain - at least a wolf anime doesn't portray wolves as monstrous creatures and I also like some drama and music.
5. Cats (as in real-life animals not the photos) - Who says cats are stupid and boring? They are a lot smarter and cleaner than those slobbering dogs
6. Spongebob Squarepants - too damn funny
7. Digimon series - I am still addicted to it...
8. Foxes - oh those graceful wily creatures...
9. Azumanga Daioh - this anime always leaves me laughing in stitches and the characters are very likable.
10. Rock music - it has to rock on!
SO-SO
1. Yaoi/Yuri couples in anime fandom (and shounen-ai/shoujo-ai) - I don't mind those fanfics and fanart about it as long as it isn't graphic (fanart) and has some good plot (fanfic).
2. Lions - they are OK but too much of them can become boring and in real-life, they are not glorious creatures which you see them in movies, they are actually big bullies of the animal kingdom
3. Darkness - darkness may be fine but what is there without light or happiness? Too much of it can be dull
4. Photos of cats - they may be cute but I want to see more of the domestic cat fanart rather than just boring photos
5. Dogs - although I do like them but the popularity starts to sicken me just because of cuteness, their glorified TV portrayal or everything else!
6. Pokemon - I like some of the Pokemon creatures but the popularity and more releases of games needs to stop
7. The Lion King - The art, music and the characters are nice but unfortunately, it was rather a copy from Kimba the White Lion for the cliche 'Heroic Son vs Evil Uncle' plot and the similiarity with some characters (e.g. Simba = Kimba) as well as the fandom is starting to sicken me.
8. Youtube - it started off great until the stupid copyright laws started banning almost anyone with anime videos, I mean, there are some people who cannot afford to buy or find the DVDs of the different movie/anime/TV show yet.
9. 3D animation - at least Toy Story 1 & 2, Shrek 1 & 2 and Finding Nemo are great but there seem to be TOO MANY 3D animated movies out there and I am starting to get sick of them
10. Battle Royale (movie) - I have to admit, I like that movie but like most movies which are adapted from manga, novel or comic, they are not very great to watch when some characters are cut out in order to make the movie short. If you want to know more about the Battle Royale characters, try to read the manga or novel instead.
11. Sonic the Hedgehog - usually I do not mind the classic games and some characters but I dislike that Sonic X anime.
12. Horses - I like horses. I don't know anything about them, but they are okay, and I can see why so many people love them. But I hate how every girl is obsessed with them. I'm sick of seeing girls at our school who are just like "This horse was sooooooo pretty!!! Horses are the best things ever!! They're so beautiful......"
13. Internet chatspeak (e.g. i lyk u!) - it is usually quite okay to use it on the IRC and online chatting but when it used too much, it becomes quite an eyesore for those who are too used to reading real English language
14. Balto animated movie - the movie itself is okay and is supposed to be based on the real-life story but there are so much of hype on it and the sequels are even more pointless.
DISLIKES
1. Naruto - too overrated! I cannot stand this ninja popularity, fandom, fillers and the music. Beside the plot in the anime even the manga bores me quite enough.
2. FullMetal Alchemist - the overrated anime and the fandom gets me on my nerves, Ed also irritates me.
3. Kingdom Hearts - WTF is with that crossover of Final Fantasy and Disney?! The characters are also unlikable as well. Nice try, Disney...
4. Myspace and Bebo - there are more posers and stalkers than friends in myspace as well as too much of chain letters and spam polluting the whole webspace. There are also more bratty art thieves lurking about.
5. Handphones - Yeah, I know that handphones are quite necessary in case of emergency but it has become more of a toy than a neccessity among others and also I cannot stand the annoying ringtones.
6. Beyblade - same goes to Yu-Gi-Oh for the mechandising anime
7. Inuyasha - Yawn...stupid pointless boring anime, fandom and popularity even if Kirara gets me interested
8. Bleach - blah...stupid popularity and the plot bores me quite enough
9. Dragonball Z - the overrated anime that takes ages to get to the real storyline
10. Teen Titans - WTF is with that anime look on this cartoon?! I usually don't mind Robin but not this version, in fact I prefer Batman animated series.
11. Yu-Gi-Oh - I mostly hate all those anime that are based on the mechandise and making money.
12. Crayon Shin Chan - the art is really wonky and childish as well as the unfunny humor.
13. Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings - too much hype on this fantasy stuff; if you want real fantasy, go and read the underrated real fantasy books in the library or something. Plus Harry Potter (himself) is more unlikable than the popularity itself, and I am not a bible-thumping person either.
14. Death Note - Yawn...boring and slow...
15. Cars movie - all I can say is just...WTF...
