Top 10 Most Overrated and Pretentious Things in Existence
To be fair, you need to have a very high IQ to understand the underlying "intricacies" of these things.Remember how back in elementary school, you would always have kids fighting and arguing to absolutely no end out in the schoolyard about which one of them was the smartest and/or most popular? Well, this is basically that but on a United-States-sized scale and with the likes of Reddit, obsessively anti-Republican news channels and podcasts that literally will not rest until Trump's entire lineage is 100% exterminated from the face of the earth without a trace in classic Hitler fashion (ironically making them, in many ways, even more psychotic than Trump himself), and ridiculously stuck-up and uptight/arrogant SJWs who get offended over literally every possible thing involved
(to be fair, though, the Republican party as a whole hasn't given us good candidates for a VERY long time; Trump is just the most recent example, but I honestly hated George W Bush a pretty good bit less, mainly because I personally found him to be a much funnier joke)
Assuming that we're talking specifically about the Pacifist Run here (as well as the sheer emotional impact of doing Genocide right AFTER it), Undertale is easily one of THE greatest and most amazingly memorable/iconic games ever made alongside Earthbound and Mother 3, I'm not going to deny it...
But good LORD, does this game need to get off its high horse (both in terms of its own personal opinion of itself and what critics say about it).
The so-called battle system only works (in an enjoyable way, at least) for sparing enemies and dodging THEIR attacks and often still manages to feel rather mediocre even in that regard due to how obnoxiously easy and short the game is (IE not giving the player nearly enough of an opportunity to actually ENJOY the combat system for what it is), with the whole "different heart colors" mechanic also being almost-completely wasted as a tragically under-utilized throwaway gimmick that the game only uses for certain extremely ...more
I've only heard about this game from JT music. the song was great!
What started out as an exceptionally well-written take on a completely average "medieval fantasy adventure" scenario later ended up devolving into a very UN-exceptionally written generic action film with the "medieval fantasy adventure" theme garishly slapped onto it; not to say that these are bad films or anything, but I can definitely name several Zelda games that I find the overall storylines of to be more interesting than that of these films (cough, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, cough), and most of the action (Gandalf vs Balrog fight scene from Fellowship/Towers and Return Of The King's legendary war sequences aside) is honestly quite dull as well. Great trilogy of books; good but very disappointing trilogy of films in my opinion (let's not talk about what they did to Sauron either; seriously, just why? )
Great franchise
I could probably watch at least three other two-and-a-half-hour-long blockbuster action movies in a row in the amount of time it would take me to understand exactly WHAT the actual plot of this overglorified meme- I mean, film was supposed to be or exactly HOW it was supposed to make logical sense, but in truth, none of them would really feel that much different from this one
Was the plot of this film really that confusing? All they were trying to do was implant an idea in Fischer's mind, so that he wouldn't succeed his father's business. Most of the plot's questions were answered thoroughly (except the ending), just gotta pay attention.
Never seen it, so I don't have a opinion.
Most overrated movies ever, Some are good, But they always top the best movies of year lists just because they're big blockbuster movies
Infinity war SUCKS
Again, excellent show for what it's worth (disregarding some of its more, ahem, EMBARRASSING moments, such as Garrison Trump, the infamous Season 1 episode "Cartman Gets An Anal Probe", and the even more infamous sex-change episode from Season 9), but calling it heavy-handed with its satire is pretty much the equivalent to calling Earthbound overpriced on Amazon; it's damned near the understatement of the CENTURY
(also, it popularized the infamous trend of cartoons going completely lazy on their animation styles in order to make room for LE EPIC WRITING and is more-often-than-not crass and vulgar just for the pure sake of it, so there's that too)
Truthfully, Radiohead (specifically for The Bends and OK Computer) is indeed hands-down one of THE greatest 1990s bands to ever grace humanity...however, it was never REALLY because of how thought-provoking their music was (in fact, it was always mostly just "cryptic for the sake of being cryptic" if anything); like pretty much every other rock band at the time (PLEASE take note of that, Radiohead fanbase), the primary reason for them being so massively popular is pretty much simply the nigh-indisputable fact that their music just plain sounds cool.
However, when looking at pretty much anything and everything that Radiohead has put out from the year 2000 onward, I simply must point out that the classic Paranoid Android wham line "AMBITION MAKES YOU LOOK PRETTY UGLY" has seriously NEVER been more relevant to the band itself than it is now (just replace "look pretty ugly" with "sound REALLY try-hard" and you've pretty much got the right idea; not to imply that OK Computer itself ...more
These are not...the items I expected to see - for such a good list idea
Nevermind
What makes them really overrated?
I'll admit that this series was indeed pretty great for, like, the first TWO movies or so (Episode VI was a lot of fun to watch but was a bit of a rushed mess plot-wise, Episodes I and II were just a plain rushed mess in general, Episode III was alright but tried WAY too hard to be edgy with the whole "Anakin Skywalker's transformation into Darth Vader" schtick to the point where it quickly became completely impossible to take seriously, Episode VII was good but extremely boringly and generically so and a complete rehash of IV and V, and VIII and IX were the point when I officially lost interest for good), but outside of the extended universe, it has a pretty bland and average storyline to say the least, yet its storytelling somehow gets praised even more than that of top-tier psychological anime sagas and the like. Clearly, this is a case of people who haven't watched NEARLY far enough outside of the lowest-common-denominator mainstream. Here's a tip for you if you want to avoid ...more
Ever since The Force Awakens this series has forgot to brush its teeth
Avengers is more overrated to be honest
Absolutely incredible show for what it's worth, I simply cannot stress it enough; however, if you're seriously going to even INSINUATE that the show is even HALF as smart or most ESPECIALLY as clever as it thinks it is, let alone "underrated" when it is almost universally worshipped like a god on cartoon-reviewing forums (yes, pretty vastly even MORE so than Ren & Stimpy, believe it or not) and also still has quite a bit of public mall merchandise to this day, then I have only one thing to say to you: Please don't make me laugh so ridiculously hard that it makes the actual show look completely UN-funny by comparison.
Personally, I would say that calling it the OK Computer of the Nicktoons is actually a rather surprisingly apt comparison (both the absolute best 1990s work of their respective artists hands-down, both comically overpraised by their fans and nowhere even near as innovative or as revolutionary as they are often claimed to be by said fans, both revolving around a darkly ...more
Vinny and Joel from Vinesauce both (individually) mop the floor with this guy without a doubt
Why weren't they on this list sooner? The name of this list describes them.
The only reason why they are still around is because they keep getting pregers
Seriously, why are they still around?
Mario's great but really overrated same story line every time (yawn)
Nope, overrated it may slightly be but it's far from pretentious
I've seen a lot of anti-drug programs in my elementary-high school years, but none have ever even come CLOSE to being in the same ballpark of how jaw-droppingly pompous and arrogant this film is about the way that it conveys its message. Basically, it assumes that people are such drooling idiots that they need to have pill consumption, drug injection and the resulting hallucinations from said activities crammed and shoved into their faces in only THE most ridiculously exaggerated cinematic fashions possible in order to understand what makes drugs as bad as they are...on the flipside, however, the atmosphere and soundtrack for the film are almost indescribably brilliant through and through, so it's easily worth watching for that alone if you ask me. Lux Aeterna in particular should VERY easily be on AT LEAST the top ten portions of this website's "Best Movie Theme Songs" lists, for one thing
I watched it and couldn't see the big deal about it either.
