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.

Windows Phone, particularly Windows Phone 8.1. It had its flaws, the biggest being the lack of third-party support of course but the UX was the best I've ever experienced on a mobile device.

The UI was very different from Android/iOS but felt more consistent and intuitive. The Live Tiles especially were just such a good feature to get as much information on on screen as possible. And it all looked so incredibly good for the time with its silky smooth animations.

It's a shame Microsoft ruined it all with Windows Phone 10...

<3

Edit: it's... sadly very easy to forget that you don't deserve the hate, which is why I didn't put this in my post. It's something I've been trying to work through lately.

[–] kipo@lemm.ee 6 points 3 hours ago

My first thought was this, and when I opened the thread your reply was the first response listed as well.

Waterworld is a fantastic movie. Creative world-building, unbelievable sets, stunts and performances (Dennis Hoper as an over the top villain? Yes please) I just can't understand all of the hate it received!

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 10 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Best complaint I heard was "it's just mad max on water" .

WTF? That sounds awesome.

[–] shittydwarf@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Right?? How could you not be entertained by that??

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 hours ago

I don't think I'm quite as effusive about it as you, but it was a good movie and I don't understand the hate either

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago

I’ll talk all kinds of shit about that movie, but I’ve watched it end to end more times than most movies I’ve seen, and it’s never been a hate watch.

[–] Pacrat173@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

Finally someone likes this movie I loved it. I need to watch the ulysses cut sometime

[–] Chef_Boyargee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I’ma put Super Mario Bros. up as a contender too. Doesn’t get much better than Dennis Hopper and Bob Hoskins.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 hours ago

I love Dennis Hopper as Bowser in the Super Mario Brothers

Nickelback. Hate started as a joke but became real. Not like they're groundbreaking, but they don't deserve the amount of actual hate they got.

Also Korn's dubstep album. Not every song was a hit, but there were quite a few bangers on that track list. Get Up got me into dubstep and still goes hard.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 hours ago

Nickelback fed and banked on that polarization.

[–] SatyrSack@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Also Korn's dubstep album. Not every song was a hit, but there were quite a few bangers on that track list. Get Up got me into dubstep and still goes hard.

I just listened to it again, and it is definitely not as good as I remember it being. I was a fan of it, but I can definitely see how fans of either Korn or dupstep would have disliked it. "Get Up!" in particular is still just as good as I remember, though!

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.

[–] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 53 minutes ago

Many got over the hate and now appreciate them. They are also common addons for overnight hiking/bikepacking trips for when you set up camp and your feet are tired.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Everything from Chrysler is junk. I worked for several dealers and general used car lots with my auto body shop business. Everything dodge/chrysler/plymouth was cut rate junk since the late 70's and still is. At wholesale auctions, they are the joke cars people only bid on because they are so damn cheap it justifies playing roulette. Everything goes wrong with them.

Like here we are nearly 20 years since I painted and I still remember there is a champagne/charcoal/silver metallic paint that came on Dodge/Chryslers. The color code was 4Q2. There were more unrelated variations under that color code than almost any other at the time. The only one I encountered that was worse was the charcoal metallic used on Chevy/GMC trucks and suburbans. That one has tone variability between yellow, red, and blue where getting it wrong meant remixing the color coat. With 4Q2 it was metallic grain size, tone between blue and yellow, and the flop characteristics (apparent color tone and clarity when viewed from an oblique angle).

I remember many times thinking to myself that someone knew, if you have not figured it out, say "4Q2" out loud and fast... It was freaking personal, all those times I struggled with that color. Those cars were the dead inventory that was ever present on many lots I worked for, and they sat at the mechanics bays for much longer than any of the rest.

Preaching to the choir lol I wouldn't touch a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Fiat with a ten foot pole

Wearing crocs as I type this.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

I own two pairs. I apologize for nothing

[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] astanix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No, that was bad.

[–] lastunusedusername2@sh.itjust.works 1 points 47 minutes ago

See? People are so upset that the girl playing Faye didn't make them feel the way the original did when they were 12.

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

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.

Ghostbusters: Answer the Call

[–] EvilBit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Holtzmann made that movie. I still tingle when she goes to town with the dual proton pistols.

[–] Zedd00@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago

Yeah. I'm a huge ghostbusters nerd. I really enjoyed it. There's one quick change that could be made that would have made it tons better. Set it in Boston and make them a franchisee. Making it a spinoff instead of a reboot.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 hours ago

Recency bias answer, but City Skylines 2

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 3 hours ago

The Berkeley professor jam.
It has a lot of really cool elements. Most of it is really good. Everything is just all at the same time in the clip which is... Challenging to listen to.
