I wanna play too

The Unpopular Fandom Opinion Meme

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

Though I don't have or know a lot of fandoms so I might make stuff up. And I'm not sure if a lot of my opinions are "unpopular" or more "stupid and crack filled"

I wanna play! Umm how about baseball? :P

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, don't know much about that game.

1) It's boring. Hella boring.
2) Most of the players seem to have fat asses and that's just wrong, if you're an athlete ... you shouldn't have a fat ass.
3) If there's a player doing steroids or some other "enhancement" drug. Good. Let him.

Word on both of those. Knowing more about the game wouldn't necessarily change your opinions, either. ;)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

It probably wouldn't. Eons and years ago I watched a couple of games and yeah.

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

There's just too much "nothing" for long stretches of time-- it feels like constant stop-and-start, mostly with stop. By the time something actually happens, my attention has wandered away.

Football is a lot of stop-and-start, compared to basketball which is constant action and possibility at all times, and the shift from offense to defense can turn on a dime. It's one of the reasons I love basketball, find football pretty entertaining, and hate baseball with a passion. All a matter of taste, I suppose!

Buffy!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

1) I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Spike/Buffy as a couple. HATE.

Huh, I think that's all I have. I can't think of anything else. I may add to this later.

[truemyth.livejournal.com]

I'm with you on this.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Oh. Even though I'm a diehard/rabid/insane Buffy/Angel shipper I did kind of like Buffy and Scott Hope. I liked him, he amused me.

[truemyth.livejournal.com]

Cool. I liked Buffy with Angel best, but I don't mind them with other people... but Spuffy is just... I don't GET it. And Spike's character totally made all hope of a vampire canon in Jossverse... not exist.

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

ITA. ITA.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

\o/

[halfshellvenus.livejournal.com]

I second your #1, with the corollary of how that completely ruined Spike's characterization.

#2. The Slayerettes in S7-- way to crap all over your own canon! Gah.

Say, do you have a bigger version of the picture in your icon? I was looking for it to use in my J2 drabble last week...

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't have it but katysam took the picture if you wanted to ask her.

[gretazreta.livejournal.com]

Merlin (BBC version) *waves*

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen one ep of that show. So here we go.

1) Naming the dragon "Sparky" lacks originality and is lame.
2) I don't like that there aren't any unicorns.
3) The episode with the alien space ship was well done and believable even though it shouldn't have been either and I don't understand why everyone thought it "sucked" and "was out of place."

[gretazreta.livejournal.com]

Aahahaha excellent.

1. You're a disgrace to fandom, Sparky is awesome.
2.Actually the exquisite lameness of this show means that there was a WHOLE episode with a unicorn plot. Seriously, worth a watch JUST FOR THAT.
3. alskjdfh aksdjfhask ldjfhlakj sdfkljhas lkdjfaksjd a!!! I dare you to post that at fandom secrets. Just for the "whuh?" factor.

\o/

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

1) I love the dragon I just wish they'd come up with a different name.
2) I guess I should watch that ep. It sounds GREAT.
3) Hahaha. YOU should do that.

[earthquakedream.livejournal.com]

Supernatural! :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

1) The writing isn't good.
2) Most of the acting is all right and sometimes fairly decent but no one on that show deserves an Emmy or any other acting award
3) Castiel is fucking useless and needs to die. / Ruby was awesome.

[earthquakedream.livejournal.com]

I really miss Ruby and I'm really regretting that I just started understanding the appeal of Ruby/Genevieve at the end of the season.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I didn't start liking Ruby until near the end of S3 so when Katie's Ruby died, I was a little disappointed that I never got a chance to like/enjoy her. But then Genevieve was there and I know that a lot of people disliked her version of Ruby but I preferred it over all the others and so yeah. I'm more upset now. I want HER to come back.

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

Uhm, True Blood?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

Gah. I watch this show. I like the show. But I don't pay close attention to it and I don't know all the characters names.

1) I don't like the way they pronounce Sookie's name, this because I'm used to how it was pronounced on Gilmore Girls
2) I don't think Alexander Skarsgård is good looking. Okay, I don't think he's good looking now but I could change my mind in the future
3) I don't have a third

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

Don't worry I don't either, but I still like it, the worst thing is? I'm not even done with Season 1 yet so I'll watch Season 2 on Sundays and be all 'what in the hell is going on?' You are not alone.

1. HECK YES. In particular when Bill (Stephen whose it) says it in that accent. It sounds like he says "Sucky" and then I make a 'o_O face, because REALLY.

2. Ditto, he was in something else I have on DVD but I don't think he appealed to me back then either. I could change my opinion but *shrug*

3. Okie dokie ;)

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

1) Yes, that's one of the reasons why I don't like it because they sometimes make it sound like Sucky. And that's not a cool name to have at all.

2) I feel like I'm missing something not seeing his good lookingness but he's just ... meh.

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

1. Seriously, I mean if it was said like in Gilmore Girls I'd be tons happier, but making it sound like "Hi, I'm 'Sucky'?" Pass. My aunt once said who in their right mind would name a kid Sookie and pronounce it as 'Sucky'? It boggles.

2. You and me both. And he is meh if anything I'd say it's because of the vamp make up.

[giantlovetingle.livejournal.com]

Dollhouse!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I watch the show but I don't think I know enough about it to say anything. I just know that you kind of have to not think about things too much or else it doesn't make sense. There's a lot of, 'Why would that even ...' or 'How exactly would that work because wouldn't this ...' going on. Though at the moment I cannot think of any specific examples.

[alwaysenduphere.livejournal.com]

Firefly!

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I don't have anything to say about this show, I watched it. I liked it, I think. I'm certain I enjoyed it because it's a Whedon show but I remember very very little about the show. :/

[bigmamag.livejournal.com]

I'm stealing this meme for my amusement, consider yourself jacked.

Also everyone took the fandoms I was going to say, so erm, Twilight for the wtf lolz, I-just-pulled-this-bullshit-fandom-from-my-ass?

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

1) Edward is creepy and unattractive
2) Bella should have chosen Jacob.
3) I don't have a third

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

2. YOU TOO? I ship both e/b and j/b but I like j/b more and think edward deserves a good slap even if has his 1914 (?) mentality. But you would know that looking at my journal.

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

I kind of get why Bella would choose Edward ... I think, I get it anyway but I enjoy(ed) Jacob so so much more.

[gwendolynmstacy.livejournal.com]

*nods head in agreement* That's pretty much how it goes for me too.

[thursdaywench.livejournal.com]

make up shit about my other fandom!
Avenged Sevenfold!

[kilynn16.livejournal.com]

One Tree Hill :D

[certainthings.livejournal.com]

1) I LOVE Peyton
2) I hate that they killed off Keith, he was a great character.
3) I used to love Skills and Mouth so so much but now? Now, they're just useless. If they're coming back next season I hope they get a storyline.
