hm, so looks like there's toys based on the original and the new cartoon available from Super 7

That's not Mattel, the actual creators and owners of She-Ra, and these were Convention exclusives. Let's stop this, it's done.
 
Well, judging from reactions, I can add one more thing I like that's apparently unpopular: the final season and finale of Game of Thrones.
I think those of us who liked, or didn't mind, it just aren't as loud as the folks who were outraged... or like my friend, weren't outraged until they read a bunch of other outraged opinions online and decided to jump on the bandwagon.
 
I recently watched Battle Beyond the Stars for the first time since I saw in the theater as a kid. It was still a fun movie watching it as an adult. Of course, I also enjoy Starcrash when I watched it on Amazon Prime a few months ago.

I've been on the internet now some 20 years. I've learned to just enjoy shit to myself, especially shit everyone else is shitting on, because then no one knows they need to comment to save me from my poor taste and wrong opinions.

"I like" has become a much bigger argument starter than "I hate" for whatever reason.

Indeed. Look at what "I like Netflix She-Ra" started.
I dont get it. Like or dont, but dont try to ruin it for everyone else.
 
Honestly lots of things I really enjoy I avoid the fandoms like the plague because they will literally drag the thing down just by you associating them with the thing.

Like, I love Transformers. The Transformers fandom is fucking garbage.

Yep. It like most fandoms, tend towards the fan part of things--i.e shortened fanatic.
 
Some people don't realize you don't have to be on the float or even watch the parade go by, let alone rain on it: they forget you can also just stay home.
But then other people might *gasp* enjoy the parade!

Clearly, that can not be allowed to happen! Or at the very least, they must be made to understood why it is wrong for them to enjoy the parade, and why their tastes in parades are obviously inferior!

Doctor Who...
 
Amongst adults: Kraft Macaroni and Cheese (aka Kraft Dinner to us Canucks). I love that shit even though it’s probably only 1 step above ramen noodles. Pure carb poison: salty starchy cancer in a box.

Mix in a bit of broccoli or canned tuna, or, hell, even some more “real” grated cheese and it’s extra hella good to me. Also good with Sriracha.

Hell I don’t even think my kids’ friends like the stuff anymore.

Man, I just like it straight up from the box, no additions, nothing to mess with the creamy texture. It is one of the biggest comfort foods to me. Like if I'm sick or feeling sad, I want Kraft Mac and Cheese. I'll just sit and eat a whole box of it by myself.

Is it healthy? Hell no. Does it help my emotional health, surprisingly so. I guess its just one of those things from childhood that really just stuck with me.
 
Well, inspired by the "whuch D&D would you use" thread, D&D 3 (and d20 ogl games).

I like skills and feats, not the weak take on skills that came since. Yeah, it can be gamed, but a competent GM can handle that.

And though Sturgeon's law definitely applies to the d20 publishing boom, there was gold to be found there.

I like D&D 3, too. Sure, there's flaws there. But there's some really good stuff in it.

I like skills. I also like feats. I just don't like the 3e implementation of feats. Skills in 3e are fine.

The idea of feats is a really good idea. The concept of a feat for everything is my issue.

The idea that Feats and Spells are equivalent is one of the biggest problems with 3.5.
 
I am a Dr. Who fan here as well, though Tom Baker was my favorite. I also like the new series.
 
I love shouty girl pop entirely unironically.

Shampoo? Daphne and Celeste? Kenickie? Yes to all of those.

I rate Carly Rae Jepson highly as well.
 
I seem to have a weak spot for movie versions of computer games (that I haven't played). First and foremost the Mila Jovovich Resident Evil series. I'm not saying people necessarily hate these movies, but I would struggle to believe how many times I've rewatched the likes of RE Apocalypse or RE Afterlife. Every time I hear the words "My name is Alice..." I get a little chill.

I also enjoyed Alien v Predator (coincidentally also a Paul W Anderson movie). Most people I know who played the game dislike that movie intensely, but compared to all the Alien or Predator related movies that followed, Alien v Predator is high art.

I'll even throw a bone at the Doom movie, the one with Karl Urban and The Rock. Up to the dreadful final sequence which is made to look like a FPS, it a fun sci-fi horror movie.

Tomb Raider.. no, just no.
 
Cape, Cowls, & Villains Fowl

It is not so much that this tabletop rpg is a game that others hate, its just an rpg that I have that I really like to read, yet none of my players have wanted to try it out.

I think it is because they expect heaps of Power lists and the nuts n bolts to build them into PCs, whereas Capes & Cowls seems pretty loose.

Kinda the same response I had with HeroQuest, which is very similar in the fact that characters do not have pre-determined generic abilities like in traditional rpgs

I have managed to get my troupe into Fate Core, so Capes & Cowls may be more approachable for them now...
 
I loved the Postman movie. (I also read the book, very very different.) Though I seem to recall Brin, talking about enjoying the movie too. So I'm not alone. In general, though, I've friends who judge things by animation style; and will accept things I find horrible (certain anime styles, in-jokes), then be down on western animation, though they are some surprisingly good cartoons that hold up, and others don't at all.

Though we do agree that some very specific modern animation has taken stylistic choices that simplify things too much, almost as if the animators are lazy/cheap. (Gravity falls was popular with them, and it had a pretty solid style, I didn't have the option of watching it except occasionally.) Though none of them like Adventure Time, or Teen Titans Go (I can't say I care for either one's animation, either.) But I hear good things about Adventure Time; and I recognize Teen Titans Go is aimed at a younger audience, who may enjoy simpler styles. (Mind you, as an adult, I enjoyed the previous animated Teen Titans, though I find Young Justice, a much better show for the most part. Teen Titans still had some solid writing behind it.) We all enjoyed the 2011-ish Thundercats, but I've not seen the newer one--and don't plan to because animation style does have an impact on me as well.

I've all of Transformers G1/Movie/Post-movie line on DVD and still enjoy it even though I can recognize many animation flaws. Sadly Beast Wars, despite its writing, is VERY hard to watch, though that's the Canadian produced CGI one. It's writing is fantastic at times. But argh early CGI. Though not the (original) Beast Wars, which we in the U.S did not get and was more traditional animation wise. So I can't compare the two.

I can't rewatch old G.I. Joe, and remember loving it as a kid. Later series (the one told in 5-minute shorts? Was quite good, but the splintering of it into not even an episode annoyed the heck out of me.)

Thundarr, despite being essentially Hanna-Barbara derived (Ruby-Spears who formerly worked for HB created it.) Has some issues with repeated cells, and "clearly that object is colored differently so something will happen with it, syndrome. Still holds up for me story wise--because there is a limited degree of continuity. Though of course none of these match some quality of later cartoons (Gargoyles, E.X.O.Squad.) They still hold a strong place for me.

Oh as for what I like that no one else does? Sane-original Moon Knight. Inspired by the Shadow, and having multiple secret ID's (even if they weren't strong ones.) I hate when they make him crazy. Though, I see a direction they could take him but don't--though Ellis came pretty close. (Ellis has off and on writing as an author for me, sometimes I enjoy his works, sometimes I want to feed the books to him after getting a dog to pee on them.)

That direction would be to move him to be an occult detective. Focusing, on things smaller and not important to the few occult characters they still have around (Dr. Strange is more "cosmic evils/Cthulhu-eque/powerful magical enemies" like Mordred and Morgan Le Fey.) While Moon Knight, could simply be this trained guy, no magic, solve problems of the "strange" sort. Sure he can fight bad guys, gangs and more, but that shift would give him a niche, I don't think anyone has in the Marvel Universe.
I liked sane Moon Knight as well. I don't hate crazy but I liked it much more when he was sane but overworked. He had significant other issues, co-worker issues and three identities to juggle. He always seemed like a more accessible Batman to me.
 
I dig the original Moon Knight comics, haven't read the new ones first but I have the first volume.
 
I honestly like most incarnations of Moon Knight. His whole descent into madness and carving off his main villains face was quite fun.
 
Also, I wouldn't go as far as "like" but I don't have any strong antipathy towards Lorraine Williams. (I can't help feeling I'm going to be burnt at the stake for saying that).

I rather enjoyed a lot of the AD&D 2e heresy she was apparently responsible for, so I’m probably in the same boat. If she was as bad of a boss as has been said, though, that’s not cool.

True. I actively liked Rocky and Bullwinkle, nuts though it was.

I can believe she was a bad boss. I'm less convinced that Saint Gary was the paragon he's made out to be.
