Unpopular opinions!
You can still request a fandom.

Turns out I really don't know the popular opinions in most of these. So mostly what I did is wrote negative opinions. So you should beware. I don't think there's any unreasonable bashing in here, just stating of things I don't like, but if negative opinions of stuff you love makes you sad, maybe you should steer clear.

My unpopular opinions!
Twin Peaks, per rahirah's request
-I loved the movie (Fire Walk With Me). I hear many were disappointed by it; I liked it better than the show.
-James, Donna, Norma, and Ed were all superfluous and boring characters.
-Moira Kelly was a better Donna than Lara Flynn Boyle.
-The network should not have forced the hands of the writers to reveal who killed Laura Palmer.
-Everything was pretty horrible after the revelation, except that last 3 eps, which were made of so much awesome it hurt.
-I did not find the humor very humorous at first. Most of the obvious attempts at randomosity--Log Lady, moose head on the table, turned me right off. I grew to love Log Lady though.
-Audrey turned me off at first.
-I loved the giant, the midget, the backwards talk, the visions, the dreams, the Black Lodge, and Bob. So much. <3
-Truman and Cooper have major slashy man love.
-As do Truman and Albert.
-Sheryl Lee was annoying as Laura, except in the movie.
-I hate the theme song and most of the music.


Anne of Green Gables, per my_daroga's request
-The movies are better than the books.
-Anne from the books is sort of uppity and judgmental of those she sees as less smart than herself (and I find all of L.M. Montgomery that way in general). And Anne is also sort of awful because she tries to kill Rusty.
-Dr. Saddler and Moody Sturgeon are kind of hot. So is Josie Pye. And Jenn Pringle, and Emmeline Harris, and Essie. But not Morgan Harris, who's generally disgusting.
-Marilla and Matthew should've had a thing.
-Anne and Diana had a thing. Especially when they were dancing together in the movie after the Christmas ball.
-Marilla and Mrs. Lynde should have a thing.
-I don't think "The Continuing Story" sucks, as I haven't seen it yet.
-Anne looks bad for her recital of "The Highway Man" at the White Sands hotel in the movie. I kind of like it, though.
-The part about Anne's Jersy cow (in the second movie) is boring and fails at harking back to Anne's years of making trouble.
-I don't think Anne's meanness to Gilbert is repressed or unconscious attraction. I think him picking on her is, but with her, I think she really just doesn't like him.
-Anne's poofed sleeve dress is hideous.
-I don't find Anne drowning the rat in the plumb pudding sauce is funny. I think it's both gross and tragic.
-I think the actress who played Miss Stacy could've been better.
-Both Megan Follows and Johnathan Crombie look their very best in the second half of the first movie.



Battlestar Galactica, per germaine_pet's request
-Six is aesthetically perfect, but she's not hot. Also, she's often really boring and her clothes are ugly, except when she's Gina.
-And sometimes she just strikes me as a bad actress, instead of a robot.
-Eight is by far the hottest Cylon.
-Though Xenalon is up there for second.
-Gaeta is gay for Gaius.
-Gaius knows it.
-Gaeta is one of the coolest characters there is, with a hidden complex story that much better because it doesn't get harped on (*coughs*Starbuck*coughs*).
-Season 3 sucked.
-But I liked the Sagittarians and mechanics' strike eps, which from what I can tell no one else did.
-The finale of S3 still wasn't good, and didn't make up for any of the badness.
-Bill/Roslin should never happen in canon.
-Callie and Helo are awesomesauce.
-Razor was mostly uninteresting.
-Gaius is one of the best villains ever.
-Gaius is a villain.


Apollo, per flake's request (hi!)
-is disliked by me and is the object of my wishes about characters who should go away so the show would be better.
-has an insipid relationship with Kara in S3.
-is not hot.
-should wear his shirt more often.
-should not keep having the Exact. Same. Problem With Daddy every. damn. Time! Seriously, it's like, "Oh! Time for conflict with Daddy again! How does that one go? Because they haven't changed at all since we first got to know them."
-should mention his brother more.
-is not good enough for Dee.
-should have more healthy male friendships.
-was right about Gaius.
-should be remembered by the writers to have had a rather interesting relationship with Roslin.
-should have a weird twisted hook up with Roslin.


Starbuck, per flake's request
-is the hottest hot.
-But only with that short, really boy hair cut.
-is the awesomest character of all in S1.
-started to get Mary Sued by the writers after that.
-should have had her intimate, personal details and histories more slowly revealed over the course of time.
-just seems emo with the painting, and whatnot.
-is realistically flawed in S3, just not in a way that is interesting to me.
-should be remembered by the writers to have had a rather interesting relationship with Tigh.
-should have a weird twisted hook up with Tigh.
-should be remembered by the writers to have a father/daughter reltionship with Adama.
-should talk about Lee's brother more.



Disney's Gargoyles, per dlgood's request
-Brooklyn, Broadway, and Lexington were all 2d cariacatures, and thus unlovable and uninteresting to me. Hudson was a cariacture, but I loved him.
-All the gargoyles should've been variations on brown and beige. None of this purple and blue business. I don't care if it was a kids' show.
-Demona and Elisa should hook up some time.
-Demona should've been more conflicted more often. As should've Xanatos, though one thing I did like about the show was both of these characters were conflicted at various points.
-There was too much Avalon and Oberon.
-In fact, although it was extremely intelligent, innovative, and really beneficial for kids, there were too many fantasy literature enemies/friends. The show seemed to get caught up in these worlds/characters, which took away from the basic episodic premise which was the reason I kept coming back: 10th c. monsters fighting modern crime with modern policewoman.
-There should've been more Elisa/Goliath.
-Goliath was hot.
-The Pack was boring, and Fox was not hot.
-Picard should've voice-acted a part. Every other TNG alum was there!
-"The Mirror" was my favorite episode.
-They should've never found any other gargoyles.



Veronica Mars, per dlgood's request
(I'm only 2 eps into S3, so don't spoil me, and also be aware these opinions are not based on all of canon)
-I don't think I would like Veronica as a person.
-I disagree with Veronica's moral standards fairly often.
-Veronica's character flaws are difficult for me to identify with and have sympathy for.
-Duncan is neither good looking or hot.
-But it's hot that he thought Veronica was his sister and slept with her anyway.
-Logan and Veronica deserve each other.
-Weevil is hotsauce. Logan/Weevil is more hotsauce.
-Wallace is often treated as the token Black character and is rarely put to cool use.
-Jackie was a tool. And did not get redeemed quickly enough for me to have the least interest in her.
-The resolutions to both S1 and 2 felt like they were pulled out of a hat.
-I don't find anything to do with the Casablancas interesting.
-Charisma Carpenter was hotter in most eps of this than she ever was on BtVS/AtS, with the exception of the AtS ep, "You're Welcome".
-Mac hasn't been interesting since we found about her birth switch.
-Veronica's and her Dad's relationship development is stagnant.
-I love Vinny.



The story where Veronica Mars meets Gargoyles, per dlgood's request, is so awesome it needs me to put on my SRIUS XOVER cap and deal with it properly.

Heroes, per semby's request
(I've only seen 1 season, so again no spoilers, and these opinions are based on incomplete canon)
-There are too many characters.
-Not a single one of the characters has made me feel particularly connected or sympathetic in any way.
-Nothing really seems to happen.
-I don't like the monologues or the chapter name texts at the beginning of each episode.
-Suresh is sometimes a self-righteous ponce.
-Peter is not hot.
-Nikki is boring. And annoying.
-Weiss, I mean Parkman, is hot and interesting and cool and I don't care what anyone says he's not a loser, 'cause he's Weiss.
-I did not find Hiro cute at first (felt writers were trying too hard. Do love him now, though).
-I don't understand the season finale and thought it was stupid.



Jane Austen, per semby's and lilian_cho's requests
(I put JA books on there, but really I meant JA in general because I have lots of unpopular movie opinions, too)
-Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility is the best movie adaptation of an Austen book
-Mansfield Park has nothing relevant to say about today's society; it has not "survived"
-Northanger Abbey never stood on its own
-I liked the Kiera Knightley Pride and Prejudice.
-Matthew McFayden is hotter than Colin Firth (but Firth is still a far better Darcy)
-The 1999 Mansfield Park with Frances O'Connor is atrocious.
-The 2007 Mansfield Park with Billie Piper is atrociouser.
-Andrew Davies is not a god.
-The Gwenyth Paltrow Emma sucks.
-The Kate Beckinsale Emma is sufficient.
-Mark Strong is hot.
-Clueless is one of the best movie adaptations of a Jane Austen book.
-people need to stop publishing their Austen fanfic; I don't care what it does for the furthering of the fanfic genre, it's all extremely BAD
-The Republic of Pemberley is a very nice place to start off as a wee fan and online newbie, but not such a place for continuing your fan and online experience. It's over conservative, hidebound, and over moderated.
-Even though Pride and Prejudice is by far the better book, my favorite one is Sense and Sensibility.
-Not every girl wants to be Lizzy; for instance, this one doesn't.
-I do not like Willoughby better than Colonel Brandon.
-Emma Thompson was way too old to play Elanor even if she was perfect.
-Emma is Jane Austen's most sophisticated novel.
-Emma is too long.
-Jane Austen novels are all about the same thing.
-Jane Austen was not the first great novelist.



Torchwood
(I've only seen the first season, so please don't spoil, and be aware these opinions are not based on all of canon)
Tosh, per a2zmom's request
-often seems forgotten by the writers
-often seems stuck with the dry, technological, moving-the-plot lines, and almost none that give insight into her personality. Which could be her personality, that she doesn't share much of herself, but it often reads as having no personality
-is thus often boring or forgettable
-is hot in a jumpsuit, just like Kaylee. Is hot period.
-is not stupid for crushing on Owen. She's been raised conservative and tends to still be conservative herself, in some ways. Crushing on the bad boy doesn't seem unrealistic.
-is not stupid for messing around with alien girl. She didn't seem to me ignorant of the fact that alien-girl might be trying to get something out of her, Tosh just didn't believe it was negative. Which is pretty naive, but also--well, if I were her, I'd be thinking, "isn't there just one pleasant alien out there? Just a gal who just wants to go home? Like Dorothy Gale? Mmm Dorothy. I'd do her." I mean, something like that.
-is the most relateable character on the show, and should've been the POV character, not Gwen.
-is over sensitive. (Her reactions to "what her friends really thought" seems really disproportionate to what we got to hear. I like to imagine, though, that she heard a lot more than we the viewers did).
-seems sweet enough.
-who were we talking about again?


Jack Harkness, per essie007's request
-is not good looking.
-is not played by a good actor.
-needs to change his clothes more often.
-is not dark or edgy.
-is way more interesting and likable on Doctor Who, even though I didn't really like him there, either.
-is mostly asexual on TW.
-is pan sexual on Doctor Who. Everything that moves, people. And many things that don't.
-is amorphous and inconsistent on TW. He's easy enough to make out on Who, but on TW they seem to have no idea who he is. You could say he seems mysterious on TW because he "never tells anyone anything", but mostly we know that because characters tell us he never tells anyone anything, not because we seem him not telling, or visibly hiding mysteries. Okay, he doesn't tell us what the hand is or why he's immortal, but Who watchers all know the answers to those questions, and his only other "mysteries" seem to be some locker or something that doesn't appear until the second to last ep, and a stolen identity that doesn't even seem to make sense in the character's timeline if you consider his appearance on Who.
-annoys me.
-annoys me all the more because I don't understand the hype surround TW and I feel like I'm just being arbitrary or missing the point or something.
-should never, ever use technobabble. He should say, "that thing that goes right there" and expect everyone to knows what he means all the time, because he seriously does know some shit but never feels the need to bother to explain it to anyone else, and Tosh should have to translate to technobabble, which Owen should have to translate back to plainspeak, and Jack should just look at everyone and say, "That's what I said." And Tosh should be all, "But what did you mean about that thing right there [re: something else]" and Jack should just keep staring and say, "You know, that thing" and look at everyone like he's disgusted with their incompetence.
-is way better in my head than I think he is on the show.
-is not having sex with Ianto. Is rather rehearsing incomprehensible lines at Ianto the writers told him to say. Sorry, guys.
-is wishy washy. (E.g., End of Days: "I know what I'm doing, guys!" "I have no idea what to do." "I won't let anything bad happen." "Everything bad that happens is Owen's fault!" etc)
-has no excuse for standing on the tops of buildings like Batman or Angel.



Lucius Malfoy, per lilian_cho's request
-Jason Isaacs is too hot to play Lucius.
-Book!Lucius is not hot.
-or elegant.
-or very smart.
-Lucius does not beat his son, though in my head sometimes he fucks him. Not canonically, though.
-Lucius loves his family dearly, and not only because he thinks his descendants are his own immortality.
-Lucius was extremely glad the first time Voldemort died, and was very sorry when he came back.
-Lucius was very disappointed Draco wouldn't make friends with Harry, and would have been both a bit amused and proud if Draco and Harry had been fucking like bunnies in school like all the fanfic says.


Draco Malfoy, per lilian_cho's request, turned into one of those, "My Draco" things, which I think needs a separate post.


Snape, per lilian_cho's request
-is not Alan Rickman.
-is ugly.
-is yeah, still hot.
-does not wear Armani.
-does not put special stuff in his hair to make it greasy so he is unattractive to students, particularly Hermione.
-did not die for Lily.
-would have been cooler had it been made more explicit that he did not die for Lily.
-was crushed on by Petunia.
-looked like Adrian Brody in his youth.
-WAS NOT IN THE WRONG FUCKING HOUSE. This still upsets me.
-did not coddle Draco to make Draco weaker or make Voldemort think he was still on his side.
-coddled Draco because he LIKED Draco and wanted to make him crumb cake, just like entrenous88's icon says.
-In fact, he loved the Malfoys dearly.
-is confused and sometimes taken aback by Molly and Ginny Weasley.



Buffy and Angel, per chrisleeoctaves' request
(I didn't know whether to do the shows or characters or ship. So naturally, I did whatthehellever! The problem with this one isn't that I don't know what's popular. It's that I know so many people who like so many different things that the meaning of "popular" kinda frays.)
-Buffy could never have a healthy relationship with unsouled!Spike.
-Unsouled!Spike finding some kind of redemption would have been interesting, but would've changed not only future seasons into another show, but past seasons too because it messes with underlying concepts.
-And since the first four seasons or so don't question those underlying concepts negating them would've disappointed me severely because it would've managed to actually change what those seasons were.
-The Buffy/Spike balcony scene is hot.
-Buffy is hotter when she's younger with more fat on her.
-Angel is hotter when he's older with more fat on him and less pink lipstick.
-Spike is hotter when he's older with less makeup on him.
-I quite like "Beer Bad".
-"Selfless" is my least favorite ep of either series, and a microcosm of everything I thought BtVS was going to be when I refused to watch it.
-I hate Joyce.
-I don't really like Dawn all that much. I enjoy her necessity to plots and have sympathy with some of her character flaws, but I tend to like her better on the page than on the screen.
-I like the Buffy and Angel comics (even though I've only read a couple of each) and am glad they're being written.
-Buffy should never "decide" between Angel and Spike.
-I don't really like Fred.
-B/A is not an immature or under developed relationship.
-Buffy will always love Angel.



Arwen, Aragorn, Faramir and Eowyn, per vaysh11's request
(I just did them all together, and am including both book and movie)
-I like that they extended Arwen's role in the movie, especially nixing Glorfindel and making it her who rescues Frodo. It makes her more accessible and gives her more reason for being there; in the books, I'd pretty much forgotten about her until she showed up at the end.
-I don't care that it's "inaccurate". It makes for a better story, and for more female empowerment. That's all I ask! Really.
-I did not like the romancey bits they added though.
-The part where Aragorn falls off the cliff and remembers a scene back from Rivendell is ridiculous.
-And Arwen has no nipples.
-In fact, I really could've done without Arwen/Aragorn in the movies at all.
-Book!Arwen is boring.
-But I actually found book!Aragorn boring too after he was "Aragorn" instead of "Strider", so maybe they deserve each other.
-Eowyn struck me as more manly in the book.
-I don't know whether I like the more stodgily heroic Eowyn I remember from the book or the more girly (with all the sister/mother/daughter/nurse/maiden images) I remember from the movie.
-There should've been more Eowyn/Faramir in both the books and movies.
-movie!Faramir is made of hotsauce.


Beauty and the Beast, per seraphcelene's request, and she should know I put it in the list just for her to request it :o)
-It's lame that Catherine and Vincent don't kiss on screen.
-Not just for shippy reasons, but for, I don't know, anti-prejudice reasons. Srsly! As seraphcelene says, Cat people need love too!
-Linda Hamilton rarely looks nearly as beautiful as she really is because of the frumpy ugly
-I don't really like Linda Hamilton in this.
-In fact I don't really like Catherine that much at all.
-Lots of the tunnel characters, like Mouse, are cliched and sort of boring.
-Devin is cool though.
-Even father is sort of boring; the show probably would've been better without him.
-Vincent would've been cooler without father. He'd've been all bitter and broody and dark.
-Vincent should have had more conflict with his Beastly aspects, instead of being essentially perfect.
-Vincent should not be telepathic.
-Lots of the fantastical/poetic plots and enemies don't work for me; I enjoy Vincent getting tied up in Catherine's legal plots more. Like I wish with Gargoyles, I'd rather it'd be this fantastical creature dealing with modern plots, rather than fantastical creatures dealing with fantastical plots.
-I don't dislike S3 as I haven't seen it yet.
-The eps should have been shorter.
-There should be a spin off.
-I should write it.
