Big Hero 6 is pretty damn meh. It has its moments certainly and the animation looks great but the only one of the friends who's developed at all is Fred who's actively irritating, it takes an eternity to get to having any sort of narrative, it's probably one of the worst examples of the twist villain thing Disney's fallen in love with in recent years (legitimately from the guy's first scene I put it together), it's really clumsy in how it treats superheroes like this established thing and yet there's no sign of such until the characters suddenly decide that's what they're going to be now, and it's pretty much just a stock superhero origin story except not really because they never really actually start being any good at it.
Also for a movie supposedly focused on confronting and moving on from grief it has a pretty cowardly approach to it with pulling the, "Oh, just kidding, they're still alive," thing on two of the three deaths.

Community season 4 was fine. Its not quite as good as the first three, but it was hardly a insulting betrayal of the series, and does some characters in more nuanced fashion that Harmon was willing to do at points. I always roll my eyes at the "gas leak" line in reference to it, given some of the weaker elements seen in season 5 & 6. there is still a lot of funny jokes in the 4th season, the premier episode as a lot of funny moments, however I think the puppet episode is one of the worst Community episodes they did - most of the episodes that deal with things getting revealed within the group are funny in their pettiness or ridiculousness (the polygraph episode for example), this as the Shirley reveal she accidentally left her kids at a store because she followed someone she thought was Andre, Jeff admits he split up with a woman because she had a kid, which are not exactly comedy gold

Curb Your Enthusiasm is not even remotely funny to me, and this is coming from someone who thoroughly enjoyed Larry David's writing on Seinfeld. I wanted to like it so bad, and gave it numerous chances, but I continued to find it painfully unfunny.
Both movies are absolute masterpieces, but given the choice between Frank Darabont's two 90s Stephen King adaptions, I prefer The Green Mile over The Shawshank Redemption. I feel like Shawshank gets the nod more often than not because it has the happier ending, but The Green Mile just resonated with me more as a viewer.
I don't find The Matrix films to be as deep and profound as some people seem to find them. They're basically a high school philosophy course in the form of a movie series. Which isn't a bad thing, because people have to start somewhere, but I don't get this idea that they're some paradigm-shifting meditation on the human condition.

I think the showrunners of season 4 didn't pull off the darker elements as well as Harmon typically did, and season 4 is better when it keeps things lighter.

Drew Carey isnt that great of a host for Price is Right. He's not bad, but he has none of Bob's charm. That's an UNPOPULAR opinion? Similarly I can't call mine unpopular since it's pretty much 50/50, at least on the internet game show community, but Steve Harvey's success and "talent" as Family Feud host comes with an asterisk, one saying "he got this way by playing off of overmanufactured moments involving TV-14+ rated questions".

How I Met Your Mother is my favorite sitcom of all time. Also, I have no problem with the ending. I didn't think the ending was terrible either, but I get why a lot of fans hated it. It was very much of a "...that's it?" plot conclusion, especially considering HIMYM was a show with a lot of consistent continuity in its overall plot throughout its entire run. Like everything was intertwined, as if it were a standalone 90-minute feature movie with a storyline to tell and the story began and ended all in that one movie. Except HIMYM somehow managed to tell one entire story across 9 seasons with very few plot errors if any. But the ending felt like a cheap, cop-out ending to many, similar to how Lost or the original Mass Effect trilogy went down.

Get Out is completely mediocre with a ridiculous plot and very few scares. The protagonist was a good actor and the twist that the girlfriend was in on it too got me.

One Piece is the most overrated Manga/Anime I've ever seen. I've tried numerous times to get into it but I cannot get into it no matter what. I’m going to go the opposite way and say that One Piece is the only anime I still enjoy. I’ve checked out dozens of different shows on Crunchy Roll but none of them have been able to hold my interest for more than a couple episodes. My pick for most overrated anime goes to Dragon Ball Z. I loved it as a kid and still enjoy the abridged series where everything is played for comedy, but trying to watch the original again or even the Kai version is just painful.

Do online series count? If so...
I still like most Nostalgia Critic episodes; granted, it's mostly when he actually does something nostalgic, but...

Not seen Far From Home, but going off the rest, Amazing Spider-Man 1 and Into the Spider-Verse are the only good Spider-Man movies.
Might be because I didn't watch it until well after it came out but while Spider-Man 2 is certainly better than a lot of superhero movies at the time and is certainly the best of the rest, it's still kind of a weird tonal mishmash where a lot of elements of the plot don't really add up together to anything cohesive. It's not a bad movie but I'd call it very bleh.
So long as I'm talking Spider-Man... I'm not really in the mood to tear into Homecoming right now (long and short it's an aimless bore and the Vulture's the only character who's even kind of likable), but Tom Holland irritates the shit out of me. The man has one acting mode and it's an annoying baby voice at all times. Like honestly his presence is enough to make it very unlikely I'll ever watch Onward.

Napoleon dynamite is mega boring.
Got invited to a huge group showing at a friends house.
I think I was the only one not laughing and praying for a power outage.

I prefer Aisha Tyler as Whose Line Is It Anyway? host over Drew Carey (and if you want to go back to the UK version even Clive Anderson)

I had to take a supplemental Summer School class in HS, the teacher was a P.E teacher and didn’t give a f*** so he showed Napoleon Dynamite for the final: I came this close to being like “just fail me”.

I dunno if this is really an unpopular opinion since it has great reviews (though RT seems to suggest it is an unpopular opinion with general audiences) but everyone I've ever showed the Prairie Home Companion movie to thought it was boring as hell but I really enjoyed it.
Note I saw this when I was in high school so I'm... guessing it'd be significantly more awkward to watch nowadays.

Totally understandable. Dunno how long the movie actually was but it felt like it set some time of record.

ASMR 🤷🏾♂️ I don’t get it.
Don’t even know what it stands for or why it started.

Suicide Squad was a good movie that gets way more hate than it deserves.
The last few seasons of the Simpson’s have been solid. Most people who trash the newer seasons haven’t seen them and are just following a meme (much like Nickelback/Creed)

The Haunting of Hill House TV series was so. bad.
The dialogue. The dialogue was high school one-act play level. Just phony in a phony-sounding way. It wasn't how people actually talk, and it wasn't fake in an interesting way. I think seriously actually really at one point two people are on the phone, and one is like "don't hang up..." and then the other person hangs up on them and the first person goes "....on me." THEY ACTUALLY FINISHED THE SENTENCE TO NO ONE. That's shit someone would include if they were doing some kind of parody comedy sketch of bad TV dialogue.
