Why stuff you like is really quite shit

[synkr0nized]

No one seems to be posting along the OP's guidelines.

Yugioh is terrible, but you seem to already know that and why. It's a seemingly never-ending series of the same fight so that some dude can ACTIVATE HIS TRAP CARD and make numbers add and subtract from other numbers. I guess I'd be able to make a more scathing critique if I'd watch the show.


I don't enjoy picking favourites, save for some cases, but here's something I'd enjoy hearing others rip apart despite liking it: Gundam Wing. (this is in part motivated by having recently put Endless Waltz on to fall asleep to the other night and remembering how ripe for mockery the series is)

Well this is pretty much um....all adoloescent animes. (And probably some adult ones).

Gundam Wing? Oh it was pretty decent, don't get me wrong, but it really licked some nasty unshaven balls when it came down to having a social life and missing ONE FUCKING EPISODE, at which point you'd be permanently and irrevocably lost in the storyline if you'd not seen it all before. And of course when Toonami was showing it on Cartoon Network, they'd only run certain stretches of the show anyway, so you were never quite sure when or where what began. That, and Hiro's unbelievable obsession with suicides that never really quite happen and blowing up his gundam all the damn time. Srsly? Take the most awe-inspiring mech and blow it up over and over nearly every third episode? Come on now... you never saw the Deathscythe being treated that way. Troa (sp?) had respect for his shit.

And you're totally right about Yugayho. How long is that series gonna go on, anyway? It's getting about as bad as pokemon. It could be worse.. could be like digimon, but nobody cares about them anyway.

So here's some Fifthfiend bait: I really liked Chrono Trigger.

I'm going to have to mass attack all your tastes- in rapid succession.

Pearl Jam but without the good bits (not that there are many). I don't think you're being serious though.

Pretty much they took the worst episodes of the old star trek series and reshot them with a new cast, worse acting, worse writing and hugely hampered by canon. They had to get the oldies in to save the series and it was still a pile of shit.

Generic, shallow, predicatble plots, weak characterisations, overuse of grinding as a game lengther- that's pretty much the series as a whole. Also the games are so significantly different it suggests to me as much as someone who says "I like food" - ie no developed palette whatsoever.

And a couple of Linkin Park Songs

Trying to be punk but the only aspect of punk they retain is a complete lack of musicality.

And the Dark Knight

I've covered this one before but in short:
Terrible camera work, action, tremendously scattergun moral messages, gigantic plotholes, characters changing their beliefs/ideas/actions in seconds,, paper-thin plot with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer.

Japanese are a sociopathic, xenophobic race of crazies and all their work is suitably tainted. Also reliance on wackiness.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal- obviously illegal things are the product of a sick and devious mind.

See Linken Park

I also love the Street Fighter movie for obvious reasons.

Fighting movie without Bruce Lee. Also Ryu can throw fireballs all the time- why didn't he just fireball everyone to death?

Fuck 'em. If I like it, it must be awesome.

Covered final fantasy, Pokemon replaces crack addiction with flashing light adddiction, Metallica are basically "We think we're metal but we better tone it down so we can sell it to everyone" ie opposite of metal so they are in total 0 music, Tenacious D are- play a simple song, drop some lyrics over it, that shit is what we do at parties and if us useless fucks can do it anybody can, Brutal Legend- oh fuck I'm so metal I'm playing a videogame- see Metallica, Metal Gear Solid- instead of letting you play a game we're going to make you watch an awful awful movie!

Before my time, but he was kind of a dick from what I've seen.

Space as wild west oh I've never seen that before.

I also like Pardus, a web browser MMO

I linked it so you guys can go look at it and than try and diss it.

It's from Austria. Have you ever been to Austria? If you had you would know I need to go no more.

Of course, the main reason I've been reading the manga itself hasn't been touched on in a whole damn year, so it may be turned partly ironic oh wait nuclear-ish explosion got teleported by an awesome dude nevermind.

See Japan.

The plot doesnt intergrate time travel at all- it might as well be set in one time with all the different places being different countries- the endings are mostly quite similiar with only minor differences and it's easy as fuck.


You dudes missed hte point of this thread- you supposed to post good things, things that you like, not awful things.

[Terex4]

Things I like:
Final Fantasy VI
Pulp Fiction
Boonedock Saints
Criticizing the American Government even though I refuse to vote because I believe its pointless as our system is broken.
Arguing with people who are deeply rooted in their religious faith.
Tax Season (my wife is a tax nut and I get a huge refund every year)
Cigars
Starcraft
Book Stores
Well made coffee
Coffee with chocolate raspberry creamer and a slice of red velvet cake for breakfast during the colder months.

A fighting movie without double nunchuck action? Shit!

I like taking my morning bowel movement in a safe, clean, private environment.

Bush is Texan.
Vaughan is Texan.

It stands to reason Bush would like Vaughan's music.
Besides, if Vaughan had said "no", Bush would have shot him.


If that's the best you can do, I've won.
