some things i'm never sure how common or popular they are, etc
yallternative
fallout, star wars, hmmmmmmm black sails??
yallternative
trying to remember who goes where
small letter
oh i will def take canons i dont go to!
small letter
starting with star wars -- i dont go here, and funnily most of my SW knowledge comes from absorbing info from the old star wars saga tabletop rpg, so idk entirely what is and isnt big, BUT
small letter
i will forever maintain that the force awakens felt like a love letter to me and baby me would have ADORED rey and wanted to be her. i have not seen the rest of that trilogy and who knows when i will but i have obviously not heard great things
small letter
but i loved rey and finn in that movie a whole lot
small letter
and possibly my truest star wars hot take is jar jar binks / the phantom menace is fine, people are just mean
small letter
pod racing is the bomb and the video game deserves a fancy remake
small letter
qui gon jinn is my favorite jedi
small letter
throws a match into a hay bale and runs
small letter
FALLOUT... lets see... this one i do whats unpopular and what isnt, mostly, but i also know i am in a corner where my opinions are the popular ones, and in other corners they would be wildly UNpopular
small letter
*do know. lost word
small letter
trying to think of something that doesnt get into the down and gritty where only like four people would know what i was talking about
small letter
let see. i guess the fact that i like fallout 76 is an unpopular opinion LMAO
small letter
i understand it was a trash fire for a long time and things can still be rocky as the devs are still trying to figure out what theyre doing
small letter
but IMO? currently it is a very fun experience
small letter
and the environments are AMAZING
small letter
i wish so badly it was a properly single ppayer experience with optional multiplayer instead of an MMO, bc i want to go ham with building so badly
small letter
and to be a bit uncharitable, imo people who are like "76 is an indicator of how bad fallout 5 is going to be!!" are chicken little-ing
small letter
76 is an outlier. it is a very different game. it would be like saying the tactics games were indicative of how the next mainline game was going to be
small letter
besides which, there is A LOT OF GOOD going on in 76
small letter
the environments, level design, npc interactions (though i know thats relatively new still), lighting, weather, crafting system, survival experience, music -- all of that is actually really amazing
small letter
and its what they wanted to give us for 4 and couldnt
small letter
so even if 76 is indicative of fo5, the parts of it that are likely to carry over? i think will be perfectly fine
small letter
(i am more concerned with whatever the fuck happened to fo4's main story writing happening again)
small letter
(the harder you look at it, the more clear it is that major things got cut and things around them werent reworked to cover the seams)
small letter
(something did not go right in the editing process and the main story suffers so badly for it and whatever led that to happen, i really hope does not happen again)
small letter
BLACK SAILS i really wish the fandom would stop woobifying john silver
small letter
it is very confusing to me
small letter
he isnt even the character of the series you would think needed woobying
small letter
like he isnt a saint but like... yknow... the entire cast
small letter
somehow in a lot of fic, silver ends up this wooby-eyed uke (to use old terminology, bc "bottom" doesnt cover the extent of this) and its BAFFLING
small letter
also eleanor guthrie did not do anything james flint didnt do so to villainize her and treat flint as the fandom darling is bullshit
small letter
i get it: james flint is also my heart of hearts, but oh my god does the fandom seem to get bugs up their butts about both eleanor and max
small letter
eleanor and max are just as deep, complex, flawed, and dynamic as flint and silver and billy
small letter
the fact that they get villainized way more than the male cast really gets my parsnips boiling
small letter
small letter
for what is likely a DEEPLY unpopular opinion: i think richard guthrie is a fascinating character and deserves more attention in analyzing. i am probably the only person in the world who wants to know more about richard guthrie
small letter
in what is most likely a DEEPLY unpopular opinion: i think richard guthrie is a fascinating character who deserves the level of attention to detail and analyzing as the main cast. i am probably the only person who wants to know more about him
small letter
(on a related note, how did thomas' brother turn out?? what was eleanor's mom like? miranda's family?)
