Here you can post all your (non-political) unpopular opinions! I'll start: - I don't hate the Star Wars prequels
- World of Warcraft is overrated
- (For a nerd) I enjoy a lot of sports
- I don't think Jon Snow is Rhaegar and Lyanna's son
- I HATE fish

I've got a lot of unpopular political opinions...but since this is nonpolitical... -I'm not a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch. -I'm no fan of the DC reboot. -I think Jar Jar Binks is underrated.

Yeah, I've got a lot of unpopular political opinions too but there should be seperate thread for that in the other section.

I had the brilliant idea to start that thread on AH.com and ended up getting multiple people banned in the process. Anyway, unpopular opinion: The Battle of Algiers is overrated. I had to watch it twice for two separate history classes, and while the cinematography and some of the acting is good, it's a cross between a documentary and a biopic that can't decide between one or the other. Very narratively murky and incoherent, IMO.

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but...
I find Female Shepard to be the worst Shepard ever. She is not good at all.
Male Shepard is the best Shepard.

Evolution isn't real, neither is global warming. Everyone is inherently bisexual. God speaks in spanish. This thread is for unpopular opinions you actually hold, not just opinions that would be unpopular. Also the first sentence of your post is entirely political and doesn't belong in this part of the forum.

Also the first sentence of your post is entirely political and doesn't belong in this part of the forum. I will go into further detail to clarify these opinions. I disagree that the first statement is political, as it says nothing of public policy. But I digress, and have deleted the offending statement. I think I gave a good run down of this in my other post, so I will not waste time in explaining it again. My first realization of this was when I was reading about the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. He called Spanish, which was known as Castillian in this context, the "divine language". He also said that "I speak Spanish to God, Italian to Women, French to Men, and German to my Horse". My personal experience with the language has confirmed his ideas. From my understanding, this language blesses those who speak it. It is no wonder that the Latin@ people are known as "la raza cósmica", the cosmic race. Yet these God-fearing people are under threat by the wicked, if you watch the news you will know who exactly is doing this. But in the end, they will prevail as foretold.

This explanation is most worrying. Are you stating that Hispanic people are a "superior" race, and that they are under threat from Egyptians/Arabs?

I personally find the Princess Bride incredibly boring and overrated. Same goes for the entirety of Great Britain (sorry Brits, I just find your country boring) Sports in general is boring, unless it's the Minnesota Vikings in American Football. VIKES VIKES VIKES VIKES! I like Jar-Jar Binks. And a lot of movies most would consider bad. Like, a lot

This explanation is most worrying. Are you stating that Hispanic people are a "superior" race, and that they are under threat from Egyptians/Arabs? Biological race has nothing to do with it. The idea of "la raza" is opposed to the biological superiority of any hereditary traits. Likewise, God did not choose them for their purpose because of their biological composition (there is no uniform composition of latin@s anyway, they are usually referred to as an ethnicity rather than a race). Spinoza gives a good explanation of this in some of his writings, but he writes about the ancient Hebrews rather than Latin@s. It is also interesting to note that in the Quran, God speaks to the prophet Mohammad in Arabic. Spanish has a lot of influence from Arabic. As to your worries about the Egyptians/Arabs, much of the Bible is metaphorical. Here it is refering to any group of wicked people, regardless of race. I myself am Wendish.

Alright, in that case I don't believe moderator action is needed in this case, but I must ask you to state your opinions in a less unclear, provocative manner in future.

Just tell me when the end of the world comes so i switch to speaking spanish rather than portuguese (do portuguese speakers get a half-chosen race consolation prize?)

I think The Force Awakens was by far the worst Star Wars movie. At least you could ignore the prequels - this one made the original trilogy totally pointless.
British soaps are good.
Foreigners are responsible for the pit of sludge that Hollywood has become (not political - movies are made aimed at foreign revenue, and the world loves bad formulaic plotless American movies for some reason).
Related, the Anglosphere is to blame for the sad state of American independent film, because you won't watch ours even though we watch all yours.
Cumberbatch and Hiddleston are both 'meh'. Colin Morgan is way better.
Uni is delicious and I could eat it all day.
I like gagaku, and noh is more interesting than kabuki.
Republics are a bad idea.
Nation-states are even worse.
I have no problem with religion even though I'm an atheist.
The number of friends you have is the number you would cry for if they died, not the number you have friended/followed on social media.
Millennials are more charitable and socially conscious than any other generation.
Millennials are more annoying than any other generation.
Spicy food is from Satan.

Here's an unpopular opinion for all y'all to revive this thread (and to watch immediately become inactive again):
Breaking Bad is possibly the most boring show I've ever watched.

Dawn of War: Soulstorm was good.
Command and Conquer 4 was good.
Suicide Squad was good. No masterpiece, but entertaining.
