Unpopular Fandom Opinions

[redbrunja]

This meme is going around my flist again, so here are some of my unpopular multi-fandom opinions:

1.) I long to punch Toni DiNozzo. The thought that NCIS might besetting up a relationship between him and Ziva (so I hear through the grapevine) makes me want to retch.

2.) Not only did I like Max, I think Jessica Alba is a good actress.

3.) I like Keira Knightly too.

4.) I liked Dollhouse but I'm sorry it was renewed.

5.) I think Spirit is both terribly unsexy and a horrible father.

6.) Star Trek Reboot is neither as progressive or as reactionary as you think it is.

7.) Aang trying to kiss Katara in EIP was problematic - but not unforgivably so. What was unforgivable was the way it never got mentioned again.

8.) I hate Sai/Karin. I can't even fully articulate way.

9.) 9>10 in Doctor Who

10.) I think the original FMA anime is better than the manga.

8) I didn't even know that pairing was popular. o_O it seems pretty random and ridiculous, imo. have they even interacted with each other?

10) freaking word. though, in all honesty, I didn't finish the anime or keep up with the manga past the tenth (?) volume (no idea what chapter; around halfway, I guess), but the former made so much more sense than the latter. I dropped the manga because I lost interest, but the only reason I didn't keep up with the show was lack of time.

I am with you on 10. I tried reading the manga both before and after I saw the anime and just. Could not get into it at all.

Also, is Sai/Karin popular? I don't think I've ever come across it before. But then, I rarely seek out Naruto fanfiction anymore, so I have no idea what the current trends are.

There are people that don't like Keira Knightley? I really, really love her.

9.) 9>10 in Doctor Who

Word.

1. Well I'm mixed between hitting and hugging him. Ok, more of the hitting, but I think he's toned down since the start of the series. And yeah, my family agrees with you.

3. I can see why people hate her, but I think she's kick-ass.

6. Step-father Star Trek nerd agrees.

9. I like them all, but 9 was my first Doctor.

10. The only thing that I disagree with you on, but that's just my taste. And the fact that one of my favorite characters isn't in the anime. Well, half in it anyway. I liked it tho.

Choosing between Stein and Spirit, I'd go with Stein every time; Spirit is too goofy to be sexy.

I don't get Sai/Karin at all, just like I don't get Deidara/Ino, whose only supporting argument that I've seen is that they have similar hair.

Totally agreed on 10. I dropped the FMA manga when I first read it, and then got into the original anime in a major way.

Not only did I like Max, I think Jessica Alba is a good actress.

This seems odd to me. I can see people not liking all the characters of a show, but Max was the main character. Don't people usually like the main character? And Alba was a good actress....

I like Tony in the series, but I think that's more because of what he adds to the story and how he interacts with everyone. If he wasn't there, the side-stories would be a lot more boring, I think.

In real life, though, I think my reaction to him would be more like Kate's.

I hope they don't bring him and Ziva together. The reason why their relationship is appealing is because they DON'T get together. It's the teasing, the pushing of each other's boundaries, that makes us interested. If they do get together, it'll mean the final season, which I do not want.

Not to mention after the events of recent episodes I'd be shocked if Ziva actually wanted to be with him. (Plus she has bigger things on her mind, if you watch the season finale.)

How you noticed that a lot of shows seem Mussad happy? (I am too lazy to Google how it's spelled)

People think Spirit is sexy? He's such a weird goof, though. He admittedly is bad but I totally felt for him when he got blamed for buying Maka sexy underwear, which he totally did not do. It's not going to change, though. That's his gimmick. Just like Stein with his chair.

Stein>Spirit.

(I'll bet you anything there is smutty yaoi about Stein's "experiments" on Spirit.)

YAY FOR #9. and for 9. not that i haven't come around to ten, or that i don't get fangirly about david tennant. *cough.* but i LOVE series 1 of doctor who, and i really don't think people give it enough credit. in the least.

3. I must admit I'm not a huge fan of Keira Knightley's. I don't think she's a very good actress and I think she gets miscast a lot. She does better at the tomboy stuff than the romantic, serious stuff, which she gets cast as because she's beautiful. Bend it Like Beckham was more her niche. Atonement was not. Plus, I'm of the opinion that she was a dreadful Eliza Bennet, but that movie was terrible all around and I'm fully aware that I'm being sort of snobbish about it.

6. Word.

8. I just don't get it. I don't understand the appeal.

2) ...there are people who don't like Max and think Jessica Alba is a bad actress? DDDDDDDDD: ;_;

8) Sai/Karin...er...not familiar with the workings of that pairing. 0.o

no!
