The Overrated Thread (post anything that's overrated in life)
This is the Overrated Thread. In this thread you can post anything in life that you perceive or feel that is overrated or gets the praise that it doesn't deserve
I'll start it off
•Boyhood is the most overrated film. It had no plot and annoying characters. (I'm talking about you Mason!)
•Football is a overrated sport. I don't see anything fun watching men in tights tacking each other in the mud.
•The Big Bang Theory is a overrated T.V Show. It's nothing but cheap laughs, an insult to the entire nerd/geek subculture and the characters don't look like your average nerds.
Feel free to post anything and say it loud to the world of what gets too much praise and maybe...maybe you will enlighten someone and that someone will say
"Hey maybe that person is right, maybe I should stop watching The Bachelor because it makes me more stupid and instead start watching TV shows that will make me think more about the socioeconomic problems in our society such as The Wire."
Comments
Movies:
Interstellar - I almost fell asleep
X Men movies - can't find them that interesting, but haven't seen them for awhile so maybe I'll like them more if I watch it again
Lord of the Rings - people act like its the best thing to ever happen to movie history, and where I find it good just not that good
Shows:
House of Cards - season 1 was great but I found season 2 immensely boring
Flash - it's good, but I can't get behind the people saying it's better than Arrow (which is one of my favorite shows rn, despite the slightly poor season 3)
Once Upon a Time - it just feels like a cheesy romance story
Games:
Life is Strange - I thought Episode 2 was great but the other 2 not so good, I also personally think the dialogue is really cringe worthy at times
Battlefield - I honestly can't find it to be any better than CoD. Funny enough, the only one I enjoyed was Hardline, which is probably the most hated one but I enjoyed it purely because it was completely different than the others.
Tales from the Borderlands - don't find a lot of the jokes funny, can't get into the characters or story that much.
Sports:
Baseball - the fact I suck at it doesn't count as a reason, since I suck at a lot of sports but still enjoy them. Just don't find it that fun or immersing as other sports
These are just some off the top of my head, and they are purely my opinion. They might change, they might not but yea
Mathamatics in the later years of secondary school.
Having children is pretty overrated.
The Walking Dead (TV show) - overhyped because zombies are mainstream as hell. Robert Kirkman used to say that the zombies are "the icing on the cake" - but in the show it seems like there's a thimble full of icing and the cake is made of shit.
I love the comics though.
I partially agree with that Football one. I don't like watching Football (Unless I'm watching my friends play) but I LOVE playing it.
F**k yeah I will agree with that one lol.
The Last Guardian is overhyped/overrated. Everyone saw the trailer and went crazy while I'm just sitting here saying it doesn't look impressive.
Harry Potter. I didn't like how the setting took place in Hogwarts most of the time. I wanted Harry Potter to explore the wizarding world so he could learn magic from the the best Wizard teachers around the globe so he could defeat Voldemort. Not spend the next seven years dwelling in a boarding school dealing with predictable cliches that you can find in a school story such as bullying and crushes.
Puberty is pretty overrated, everyone's been hyping it up as a terrible thing since 5th grade for me and I'm very underwhelmed, nothing's really that different.
^^^^^^^^^^^^ SO MUCH THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree
Well if we didn't humans would go extinct
I never knew what puberty was until I was told about when I was 15. U are right
Mad Men the tv show - I guess its an interesting period peace but outside of that I found it really boring, I saw maybe 5 episodes and the only thing I liked was the actual advertising part (where the protagonist tries to figure out why a black dude smokes only a certain brand of cigarettes) and I was really put off with the sexism in the show (which was of course a realistic portraial of the period).
Titanic and Avatar - visually stunning tech demos.
Call of duty series - its all the same and its boring as hell.
American dream of a suburban life with a house and dog and whatever - I'd rather live in a cramped NYC apartment.
Long term relationship - people get bored of each other, we are not swans.
Professional sports - its just guys chasing a ball or similar trivial activity, I couldn't care less and this includes videogames, I play games but I think professional gaming is stupid.
...And your point is?
We'll be like the dinosaurs
...and your point is?
American Football.
Agree with #6. I mean, I do like them, but sheitt a lot of people are circle jerkin around that stuff!
The Dark Knight - Most overrated comic book movie I've ever seen.
Fargo (movie) - Expected a lot, but felt very disappointed in the end. Don't get the big praise because the whole film felt generic.
Skyrim - More of a bias for me because I'm a Fallout guy, but I did try it and I got bored with it. With that said, I hated Oblivion.
Pokemon - I just never liked it.
Pizza
Some sh*tty lesser species will take over
Kim Kardashian's butt
One Direction
Relationships
Staying up all night
Sir...your point....where is it?
Humans being extinct is a pretty big thing
Not to me. Wanna agree to disagree?
Amen.
Chicken pox, soccer, and faithful marriages.
Football is a ton of fun to play, but watching it sucks. You get like 5 minutes of action per 10 minutes of commercials.
Chicken pox are overrated?
Analogy of the Year, right here. Somebody get this man a trophy!
Just out of curiosity, but why is it that you don't consider Poke'mon or Yu-Gi-Oh! anime?
Mad Max: Fury Road: It felt like it was more concerned with action than actually telling a story.
i agree with #10 the rest not really.
HOW DARE YOU???!!!
:P
SOCCER.
this. i dont get the major hype. i love the action though. 8.5/10, no 8/10
"Not to me" lol. Easy for you to say that, Europe and America is severely underpopulated, In the future people like you who choose not to have kids will be hated.
