Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

Crocs. I got my first pair when I was a teenager and they still work now (edit: 30yrs old); though I recently got a new pair because the bottoms were completely smooth on the old pair.

"Ugly" cars. Aka Pontiac Aztec, PT Cruiser, Fiat Multipla, etc. Yeah, they might be ugly as sin, but they're more interesting from a visual standpoint. I'd rather have the road filled with ugly cars than filled with cars that mostly look the same.

PT Cruisers would be fine if they were just ugly. Those things were notoriously unreliable.

Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Both had awful parents and public struggles with addiction, but people just like looking down on “party girls”

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

TBF I think Hilton was deliberate to some extent. She rode the wave of controversy she created and made a name for herself separate from the family name. She’s still controversial, but she’s independent.

Lohan was just an addict in a downward spiral chased by harsh public opinion. Unfortunately the public loves to see a star fall.

I mean wouldn't you want to separate yourself from people who put you in essentially an abusive prison/lockdown camp for nearly a year because they didn't bother trying to help you with your ADHD?

Teen Titans Go.

I think most of the hate came from the people who grew up with the 2003 show, which ended abruptly, leading them to believe that TTG was meant to be a replacement.

Most of the hate has died down now, but I still think all that contempt was unwarranted.

The live action Cowboy Bebop

Lack of Ed killed that show.

After Dragonball Evolution, I can no longer be convinced that live-action anime adaptations will ever work.

Go full blown animated or don't even try.

Avatar the last airbender serie is a pretty cool adaptation.

Ty! It was so good. I was so disappointed when it got just shit on by the fan base. I was never huge into anime, but I did watch the original, and thought the live action was really good and faithful where it counted.

I was surprised when I learned that Pikmin 3 is often disliked or even hated. It's shamelessly my fave game of the series. I get that the story is shorter than it should be and it's more linear but it has this charm that's unmatched, and I enjoy the graphics style so much that it inspired several facets of my artstyle even. Also the mission mode is just the right difficulty and a ton of fun!

U2 for that album that they gave away for free

[–] callouscomic@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The same one that was installed on people's devices without their knowledge or consent? I think you're avoiding the real issue there.

I’m going to put up another movie, The Dark Tower.

I’m a big Stephen King fan, and the Dark Tower series is probably my favorite work of his, aside from The Stand.

I think the movie got too much hate from all the stans and it was clearly just farther along in the many turns of the wheel of Ka.
