Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) is one of the most unique Sonic games and I especially love the route concept alone

Is this an unpopular opinion? Personally I agree with this, unfortunately this is why the game falls flat for me. I want them to try the different routes thing again but in a better game; I find it so boring to find every single enemy in a level and defeat it just to get a different route.

Despicable Me did not need a 3rd or 4th movie

They should have stopped after the second one, honestly the only thing to come out of the 3rd one for me was the fact Trey Parker voiced the main villain and the "Hug Me" song, otherwise I don't remember much else

I did not know Trey Parker voiced in Despicable Me movie...

Then again it makes sense since South Park hasn't mocked the Minions at least to my knowledge.
 
  • Robert McKimson's downhill slide wasn't until the mid-60s, during the era where production of Looney Tunes was transferred to DePatie-Freleng and was being plagued by executive meddling and slashed budgets anyway. On a related note, he's actually my favourite director.
  • While not quite as good as the original run (aside from a few shorts like "The Cat Above and the Mouse Below"), Chuck Jones' take on Tom & Jerry was actually pretty solid.
  • The Walter Lantz cartoons of the 60s and 70s are more of a mixed bag than uniformly bad.
  • Zeus Cervas and Casey Alexander are frequently singled (doubled?) out as awful writers, but they are actually pretty good writers whose reputations suffer from people accentuating the negative. They did write episodes like "Not Normal", "Sand Castles in the Sand", and "Safe Deposit Krabs", after all.
  • The story in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC is actually really good. I like both Kieran and Carmine.
  • I could never get into most action cartoons.

Ground beef on its own sounds like a good pizza topping, but (and here is where my potentially unpopular opinion comes in) I'm not a fan of cheeseburger pizzas. I don't need my pizza to be fully loaded with every topping you'll find in a cheeseburger because at that point it'd just be easier (and most likely tastier) to eat a regular cheeseburger.
 
Here’s one I’m probably gonna take a lot of heat for: I don’t like that so many (maybe most?) millennial and Gen Z animation creators are influenced so heavily by anime. I don’t want western animation to have so many productions trying to imitate anime and its conventions and tropes. I’m not against anime influenced things in general. But I do think western animation should still overall keep its own identity and avoid making imitating anime a big part of its identity, which is what I’m worried it’s heading towards.

Full disclosure, I do have a bias here: while there are some anime I like, I was never a big fan of most anime and never got into the medium. I do however love wacky western cartoons like the old WB and MGM cartoons, SpongeBob (obviously), Rocko’s Modern Life, etc.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that a lot more animation you see these days is heavily influenced by anime. It's certainly not a bad thing, but I understand the concern. Traditional western animation still has a place and should have a place, so it would kinda suck if it got filled with anime influenced animation going forward.

And I'd like to add that I don't think my take on this is as biased as yours maybe because I do like anime styled things typically, even if I've never really been able to get into an anime. But we do need variety when it comes to animation.

I think Windows 11 is okay...

I agree with this take.

It's actually a fairly solid OS marred by bad decisions from Microsoft. However, it's easy to override all that with programs like OpenShell (replaces the modern start menu with the classic one), DoNotSpy11 (removes telemetry, advertising, Copilot, and other assorted tweaks), and WinaeroTweaker (get back older 7-era programs, add new options to the right-click menus, get back some old Control Panel menus, etc.).

You can even bypass the inflated system requirements if you install using a program called Rufus.

The end result is a system that behaves a bit more more like 7.
 
I do not like what the newer seasons of South Park did to Randy. He used to be a funny idiot character that was overall a fun and enjoyable character and they've almost made him a complete monster now in the newer seasons, going out of his way to make his wife and kids lives harder. He's not as funny of a character as he was. And now takes up 80% of the screen time.

(Possibly biased coming from a huge Stan fan but I really wish they'd change Randy back to being the character he was)
 
Call me biased, but I think that in Super Mario Bros. 3, World 5: The Sky is better than World 4: Giant Land...
I love how the sky tower on the ground half of World 5 serves as the transition into the cloud half of World 5, where Mario has to make his way through the enemy-infested cloud-top levels to the king's castle throne room to board the Koopaling's airship and retrieve the king's wand to transform him back to normal...
