    I never liked Adventure Time, and I cannot get into Steven Universe at all. For me, the Cartoon Network I knew and loved ended with Ed Edd n Eddys big picture show.

    Gum balls ok, but the mixed art styles don't set well with me, NuPPG is just a cash grab, TTG! is like you said an insult to the original and Uncle Grandpa is a straight up stoner show.

    I use to watch Regular Show and Adventure Time myself but their screwed up time slots means I never know when new episodes aired so i dropped off. I refuse to watch Powerpuff Girls cause I feel like its going to be Teen Titans Go all over again and screw us fans of the original show. Honestly the only thing left on Cartoon Network I watch is Transformers Robots in Disguise but who even knows when new episodes will come back. Now its all Adult Swim with Family Guy, King of the Hill, American Dad, and Rick & Morty. Oh can't forget Toonami, was finally able to watch One Punch Man and I LOVE it.
    Sigh, I miss old Cartoon Network. Its great rewatching Billy and Mandy on Boomerang, miss shows like Johnny Bravo, Courage the Cowardly Dog, & Ed Edd and Eddy too.

    Here's my unpopular opinion -- I hate the look and feel of the new TFW website and forums.

    Current unpopular opinion... Attack on Titan is heavily overrated. Just don't get it's popularity. I mean, I've watched it... it's good, but I don't see it as this super special awesome story that the fandom will try to convince you it is.

    ^ I personally never cared for it, got to like episode 8 or something and I was just like... I'm done. Not that special of an anime.

    My unpopular opinion is that I hate it when fandoms try there darnedest to get you to like something but your just like "meh, it's ok." And then they rag on you for not liking it. Hey it's not my fault I don't like your show/movie/etc! This is especially true with the Steven Universe crowd, I just don't see the big deal with that show but it's fandom treats it like a gift from the heavens, which is fine and all, but stop trying to get me to like it. I just don't think it's a good show.

    I actually had this problem back when the original Naruto series was big. My friends were heavy into it and I was just like 'meh' and I never heard the end of it. That said; once the hype died down I went back and binge watched the hell out of it and am currently caught up, but don't shove your fandom down my throat if I'm not interested darn it!

    I've experienced that before. I don't like IDW Transformers comics and I've had people post condescending things to me in response. I also feel this way about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The cartoon is OK I guess. But I'm really sick of people ponifying EVERYTHING.

    I'm not a fan of IDW comics either. And don't even get me started on the pony-ifying of everything. :mad: 

    Anywho, my unpopular opinion is that the toy market is getting way too saturated with StarWars products (it's gonna get worse with the next film coming out soon.) I like StarWars, but there's a point when enough is enough.

    Truth. And it doesn't really help that you have something like four or five different companies doing figures for Star Wars now.

    Exactly. And there's like three or four different figures lines running at once, like the 5 inchers, 3.5 inchers, Pop! Vinyls and then there's those MASSIVE child-sized figures they had out around Christmas. You'd have to be one heck of a Star Wars fan to have both the space and the need for such a figure.

    Agreed. Somehow, it wouldn't surprise me if South Park ended up poking fun at the constant merchandising of the Star Wars franchise as well as it having a movie every year in some future episode in the its new season.

    Star Wars is easy and plentiful fodder for shows that like to parody pop culture trends.

    As for the new movie, ya I'm not interested in that, the designs (while not as bad as TFA) don't really say Star Wars and I don't think we need another movie right away. Yes I know it's a spin-off/ extended universe movie, but I don't want to se Star Wars suffer from "Super hero fatigue". One movie every two-three years I think would be better. It would keep the toy and theatrical markets less saturated with Star Wars and give other franchises a chance in the spotlight.

    I find the Spinosaurus from Jurassic Park 3 to be pretty awesome~

    It had a strong start, but it's honestly just been playing it way too safe for me. I feel like way more major characters should have died by this point, but are just kept around because of their popularity...

    I got up to the Giant Woman in AoT before losing interest. Felt like it got too melodramatic.

    Nothing wrong with the Spino itself. It's just the film insisted on making it "BETTER THAN T. REX!" than letting it be its own unique beastie.

    Eh, I didn't see the big deal about a random T-Rex getting its ass kicked. Besides, the Spino already kinda established itself by taking down a plane and ripping it in half.

    Mightron is overrated and looks like Megatron on Energonroids. People talk about him like he's the best 3rd party figure in the history of 3rd party figures, but he's way too bulky and top-heavy. He should also have a Bane venom tube lodged in the back of his head.

    Killing the rex did nothing for the plot, its only purpose is to say "Screw you T. rex fans, Spino is where its at!" And unlike almost every other species, the Spino is treated like some villainous monster rather than as a dinosaur/animal.

    The idea in the JP movies, hypothetically, is that you're supposed to be rooting for the humans to survive, not for one specific dinosaur over another. It's very unlikely that there was any "screw you, T. Rex fans" intended, since the writers aren't even thinking about T. Rex fans or spinosaurus fans or anything like that. From the writers' perspective, the only purpose of the T. Rex in the first place is to be scary and threatening. So the purpose of killing the T. Rex was to say "Oh, the T. Rex is scary? Well now you should be even more scared when spinosaurus attacks!"
