Why, this is the kind of garbled raving that only a drug-addled mind could make sense of!
Superman > Batman and Batman is tied with Supes for third best Rogues Gallery behind Spider-Man and The Flash.
Ms. Marvel (Carol) at one point was my third favorite Superhero.
Carnage > Venom.
Jay-z is a mediocre rapper with more bad years than good.
Biggie is overrated.
The Diplomats are a top 3 rap group all-time.
Avatar: The Last Airbender and Death Note were perfectly acceptable movies.
Dean Koontz > Stephen King
Harry Potter books in terms of favorite: 4 > 5 > 3 > 2 > 1 > 7 > 6
What you think is the best and your favorite are not the same.
Childish Gambino is the most versatile artist of the past 5 years.
Lupe Fiasco isn't that good.
Peter Parker is the worst Spider-man.
Amazing Spider-man 2 is the second worst superhero movie I've ever seen only behind Angeles Lee's Hulk.
I'll think of more later.

Maybe you should see a doctor (or another doctor if you already see one). I'm positive you can do things. You're a human being. Your brain may operate differently but you're still a human being capable of doing things just like anyone else.
I have never done an illegal drug in my life. I don't smoke and I don't drink either. As for drugs, if you're educated on the matter, why would you do it? That's not a mistake. You're choosing to be self-destructive. But like I said, some people are unfortunate and fall into drugs by other means. That's not cool. And I can understand people smoking weed for medicinal purposes, like to alleviate pain. But if you're a healthy person and one day decide you're going to smoke some crack. That I don't understand.This is the kind of garbled ravings that only a drug-addled mind could make sense of.

Holding contempt for people who use drugs/alcohol for fun is actually more wack than people who do drugs for fun.
Your existence on this giant rock is temporary anyways and your talking as if everyday things/activities don't cause cancer/other diseases anyways. Your average person who doesnt even touch drugs probably eats junk food that is slowly giving them cancer. You'll be dead one day too just like those people you hold contempt for. No need to be so concerned over other people's lifestyles and decisions in finding an escape.

I'm not saying the movies are poorly done themselves, but rather the impact their formula and business model have had on the industry as a whole. Marvel has for the most part been able to perfect the "fun movie" formula that both attracts and satisfies the general masses/audience, which is unfortunate because so long as they stick to their methods (including marketing), quality, source material, and brand, they are guaranteed to have box office successes, which has become one of the most influential actors on film studios' behaviors. This is now seeping out into into other studios' attempts to match the success of Marvel through mimicry, such as the DC Cinematic Universe, the Star Wars Cinematic Universe (which has produced two seriously uninspired movies), and other attempts like The Dark Universe or possibly Ghostbusters. And alongside unchallenging or innovative movies being the new norm, new ideas are seen as too risky, making Hollywood one of the world's largest, most profitable recycling centers.
This, I don't think the Prequels were good by any metric, but people took it as if Lucas was assaulting their childhood. Some prime man-child behavior came out of this, and it was very ugly and embarrassing.
This isn't an opinion, it is an outright lie.
Most of all media is legit trash.

I have mentioned this in the gaming controversial opinions thread and have occasionally brought it up elsewhere but the NES versions of Zelda 1/2, Metroid and Mario 1/2/3 are all Superior to their SNES sequels.
I also think that each of those series have had better games post SNES as well. I'd take Galaxy BOTW, and Prime over these Sacred cows anytime. SNES was still one of my favorite systems ever, but Mario World, Zelda 3 and Super Metroid each were disappointing. Super Metroid, which I played when I was 16 was the game that made me step away from video games as a hobby for nearly 2 years. BTW Mario 64 is the game that brought me back.

IT isnt a great book. Its too long, has a whole lot of fat that could be trimmed, and isnt particularly scary. Theres too much going on and the ending suffers because King clearly overwhelmed himself trying to squeeze everything in. Its ok, but its not as good as its reputation and infamy suggests.

I don't understand this escape thing. For example, I get stressed but my answer isn't to start smoking like I've seen people do. I feel for those with horrible diseases and if smoking alleviates pain and whatnot, that I understand. I can even understand other horrible circumstances where people are forced into drugs. I'm talking about normal, healthy, people, deciding to be self-destructive. I'll never understand it.
My parents are not religious nor am I. My extended family is.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Humanity needs a reset.
How is this an unpopular opinion, or even an opinion? Is literally understood as a mental disorder lol, saying broken is a bit harsh though.
There is a serious disconnect on this message board from reality.
More government is not the answer to most problems and if you blindly think the government will do what's best for the people without taking care of themselves you are out of your mind.
Guns don't need to be banned just regulated closer like some states already do.
Trumps actions cause gross hyperbole(some are warrented however) to the same level Republicans acted with Obama.
PlayStation controllers have always sucked.
Socialsm is equally as toxic as Capitalism.

I feel broken today. I'm just glad people agree with me (not too harshley, though) because I fucking hate listening to people who always attempt to tell me its a "superpower" or something.
Unchecked capitalism is ruining America. We will not take steps to deal with this until it is far too late.
Democrats who support American interventionism, particularly in the Middle East, are despicable. For instance, Obama should have gotten a lot more flack for his expansion of the drone program and his murder of civilians. Instead the left rolled over with barely a peep.
Furthermore, drone warfare is immoral and dangerous. It's the future, for wealthy and advanced nations, and will eventually expand to all theaters of war, but the idea of removing the risk of casualties on one side, making war "cheap" to wage, is unacceptable. In addition, automating part or all of the decision-making for drones is such a risk. Not in some Skynet way, but machines making life-or-death decisions over human lives? Whew.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild has some poor quality-of-life design choices. It takes away from the fun of the game. It's almost like Nintendo tried to reinvent the wheel with regards to open world gameplay. Some of the results are great but others are decidedly not.
You are aware that white supremacists lynched over a thousand black men in the 20th century, right?
Agreed. Divorce/custody court is a systemic disaster for men. Men are victims of domestic abuse at high rates, victims of rape at significant rates, and no one really cares. Males are falling behind in secondary education. And so on.
The problem with MRAs is that some of their agenda is so vile that it's unacceptable to be associated with the movement. So the problems facing men continue with no end in sight, and no legitimate advocacy out there.

People who dont are cowards
I think abortion should be allowed at any stage of pregnancy, and the arbitrary line the pro choice movement sometimes draws here is silly.
Advocating for men's issues isn't comparable to fighting for white or straight rights. Unlike those groups, gender inequality does sometimes cut both ways. Education, mental health, family rights etc

Firstly, you're equating marijuana and crack. They are not the same even if they both fall under the "drug" blanket. The reason a lot of discussions on drugs go down the shitter is because people lump them all together when anyone who's taken a psychopharmacology course could tell you that the differences should be well delineated.
Secondly, there's a limit to how much you can know and say without actually doing the thing you're talking about. I don't do cocaine, crack, or any drugs other than marijuana and alcohol (and...caffeine) really, so I can't offer much to discussion on the harder drugs.
That said, in the example of marijuana, you'd probably understand better if you knew what it was like to be high. That's all. I'm not encouraging it, I'm just saying. And, maybe that's an unpopular opinion in itself, but I feel it's valid to a degree.

Hence the unpopular opinion. That is the point of the thread. And it doesn't affect me so I normally stay silent which is what I should have done apparently.
I'm going to stick to ones that I feel are controversial on GAF:
Trump will be reelected in 2020 as the Democratic Party is an ideological mess with no leadership or vision and will either succumb to infighting or arrogance. Yes, his approval ratings are the lowest in history but that will likely lead to a mindset of "oh there's no way he'll get reelected, everyone hates him" which will cause voter apathy once more while a united Republican Party (united on election day at least) repeats 2016.
On Gaming Side, video games have never been better than the period beginning in 2015. AAA releases have declined since due to corporate greed but games like Bloodborne and The Witcher 3 are the best ever in their genres and releases like Breath of the Wild, Overwatch, Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4, Rocket League, and Titanfall 2 are all time greats. However, since there have been a large quantity of releases that have spoiled us, it's hard to see.
Only a minority of games released before 2009 are still playable due to nauseating framerate issues and aged design. Hell, some games around that era are aging, I can't even bring myself to play Assassin's Creed 2 or Infamous now. The visual/framerate problem applies to 3D consoles. Game design age applies to 2D consoles as well. SNES classics are generally fine but the NES only has maybe one game that can be considered above decent (SMB3).
Despite the continued presence of hair regulations, the Yankees have developed into a great and exciting organization. The problems were Steinbrenner and ARod/Jeter. Most critics are stuck in the past. Yes there are still many fans who brag about 27 championships but every fanbase has its bad eggs. The bottom line is the organization has changed for the better and the current team is one worth following not only due to the ability to win.
The NFL is more popular than ever and will see increased growth over the next few decades despite CTE concerns and political controversy.
Star Wars is overall quite mediocre and was just excellent for its time. Lord of the Rings (not the Hobbit) blows it out of the water in every way to the point where the two should not even be compared.
The Dark Knight Rises was a great comic book movie and better than almost every MCU movie

No one mentally healthy takes drugs. And I say that with a joint in my hand. I smoke because I cant take life otherwise. Ive done most drugs bar the really bad ones (crack, etc), and it was all due to an inability to find happiness. Apart from acid. That shit opens perceptual doors you didnt know existed and Im glad for doing it.
Theyre a self treatment, not a disease.

Unpopular opinion, sure; not uninformed.
Doesnt explain why you have such a strong opinion on something that has little to do with you though...
EDIT: Not having a go, btw. You just seem to not really know what youre talking about, but still have very strong views on the subject. Thats a recipe for disaster!

Mad Max Fury Road is stupid as hell. Boring samey action with a dumb as rocks main character and some really strange villains. Was basically a long car chase through the desert with villains doing quirky shit because this plot is just so different and deep man. Charlize was pretty much the only thing it had going for it.

Why should you stay silent if your opinion is ever challenged? Shouldn't being challenged make you want to understand why you hold that opinion?

I agree with you here. I voted for Hillary last election and was hoping my black college age peers did the same. I got the sneaking suspicion that non e of them voted because "voting doesn't matter man" lo and be hold last Saturday my friend ranted on how she didn't vote in the Pres. Election because "voting doesn't matter" I almost want to stop being friends with them because of this. Trump is gonna get reelected because people my age don't care.

Because I feel there are other ways people can get help and find happiness or an escape without destroying themselves physically. But like I said, if smoking weed or whatever alleviates pain caused from cancer or something, I can understand that. As for healthy people who decide to do it just because, I'll never understand that choice.Unpopular opinion, sure; not uninformed.

Almost every criticism I've seen of A Song of Ice and Fire is garbage born out of pre-concived notions or a deep misunderstanding of the series's plot, goals, and themes.
What are you even talking about now? In what universe does smoking weed destroy someone physically?

Being "healthy", physically, doesn't mean your life isn't painful or stressful. Some people use it to escape, some people just do it for pleasure. Plenty of people eat food just for escape or pleasure, but we don't outlaw or criminalize food (in general).
As with most things: moderation is good, excess is bad.
