Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

It was good. Went kinda off the rails later on, but it started very strong and even later it looked super nice and had some fun concepts.
If you're going to go weird and deconstructive with superheroes it's so much more interesting than the usual "bad Superman" The Boys crap. And it captures this weird 80s/90s British weirdness that Alan Moore or Grant Morrison brought to the proceedings in a way that has been almost entirely unexplored. The only other attempts I can think of are the Berlantiverse Doom Patrol, which, sorry, just doesn't have the ability beyond superficial imitation and the current Sandman run. Which, weirdly, takes almost the same approach.
Legion found its own way to channel that weirdness in a way that feels native to the medium rather than copy/pasting comic book panels. I thought it was well worth the rough spots.
Yeah I like the doom patrol series to but it does seem more tacked on than legion because of legion/faruk's powers lending itself to a malleable reality. Have not seen sandman but will keep an eye out.
There's supposed to be a bunch of that in Doom Patrol as well, it's just that... well, the type of production that show is just doesn't allow for it, both creatively and in terms of what it's able of constructing visually.
