Overrated movies & TV shows?

[Andrew NDB]

I've got some:

* The Batman.

* Smallville.

* All those NCIS/Law & Order Shows. All of them.

* Grey's Anatomy. It SUCKS.

* 4Kids TMNT cartoon.

Damn dude. The dick riding of this show over at the TMNT subreddit is almost as bad as it is for Last Ronin.

I have love for the show because I was still a youngster when it came out, but these MFs act like it’s The Wire or something. It’s a competent children’s action show but that’s it. They pulled a lot of punches (literally and figuratively) and BUTCHERED several Mirage stories.

Again, I like it and have nostalgia for that era but people gotta take it off the pedestal.

Stuff like Superman: The Animated Series and Spectacular Spider-Man get so much praise and yet, they just annoyed me. There are better shows with these characters, and yet they don't get enough attention.

[ToTheNines]

Off the top of my head:

Thor: Ragnarok. It was like if SNL had a big budget for a Thor episode. And conversely, it drives me nuts when people act like Thor: The Dark World was bad… it’s by far the best Thor film not counting any Avengers stuff.

Forrest Gump. Laughably bad.

The Polar Express. Maybe I hate Tom Hanks?

The Irishman. Get of Scorsese’s nuts. It stunk!


This is my big one: Scarface. Such a boring, corny, dogshit movie. People think it’s badass though. I don’t get it.

Guilty lol. Love them both.

Maybe it's much cooller to like it when you're like 19, 20 and maybe eons ago now, but it's still a damn cool movie. Even if it makes Colombians look not so great.

Star Wars Andor is a big one. People were hailing it as not only the best Star Wars TV show Disney made, but one of the best pieces of media in Star Wars history. I found a lot of it kind of boring, Season 2 is coming out soon but I don't think it'll be any different.

There's a lot of big serious movies I found boring, like Oppenheimer is a big recent one. I mean I understand why it's "critically acclaimed" so to speak, but it's just not for me. A lot of other serious biopic movies based on real events I find really dull to sit through even when they're considered some of the best movies ever made.

My turn:

- 1994 Spider-Man cartoon
- 1987 TMNT cartoon
- Sonic SatAM and Sonic X
- Every modern crime show
- Modern Family

Yeah, I really didn't. I felt other shows did much better with the characters than those (the 50's Adventures of Superman show is pretty much what I consider the best Superman show, it's simple, but it has a likeable cast and really entertaining stories, and when I saw the 77 Spider-Man live-action show, I was more pleased than I thought I would be).

I think 2001 A Space Odyssey is a very super overrated movie. I went into it expecting to be blown away, but what I got was boredom. Don't even get me started on that terrible super ambiguous ending.

[Autbot_Benz]

Christopher Nolan Batman movies. Everyone loves these movies but I just find Chris Nolan's Batman movies really boring. I hate realistic takes on Batman.

Zack Snyder's DC Movies. Very long overprentious nonsense. he doesn't get the DC heroes at all and it showed cause he got sacked after BVS .

TMNT movie 1990

Avatar the last Airbender

Batman TAS

They're good but the internet gets an erection talking about them. They aren't that great. Just above average kids media.

Super Mario Bros The Movie - I think people were just happy to see Mario done right. but at the end of the day it's not some classic movie, it's just a good Mario movie but there's not too much substance in there.


Batman Beyond might be getting a bit overrated but it's indeed great, especially if we don't count the JLU episodes/finale it gave the series, even as good as Return of the Joker is the show works better without it. They did mess up not having Blight show up at least one more time. I also really wanted that black girl to become Robin eventually.

Korra is ok, just a huge letdown. I don't think it's overrated, no one really talks about it. And when they do it's to defend it on why it's good.

TMNT 2012: Tryhard edgy plots and Dogs*it animation that makes anything from AKOM look like AKIRA

TMNT Mutant Mayhem/Tales of TMNT: Definitely two things people will look back on in a decade and cringe at ever liking.

Batman Beyond: First season is amazing, but they peaked when they wrapped up Blight's arc and then never used him again. There's one or two good ones after that in the next couple of seasons but the rest is just eh. I don't even think Return of the Joker is all that great or important, and the coda for the show in JLU was an absolute joke that retroactively made the whole thing worse.

Digimon isn't that great of a franchise. Adventure 01 and Tamers are it's only good series.

Transformers Prime: It's a Kurtzman production. 'Nuff said.

Korra: If it weren't for the existing fanbase for the far superior Avatar, as well as the lesbo pandering, this show would have been left best forgotten.

The Spider-Verse Movies: I like them, but they're above-average and I really only enjoy Peter B Parker, Miguel and Baby May in the whole thing. More interested in them than Miles and Gwen.

I would say the Force Awakens... But after ten years I think people have largely accepted that it wasn't very good.

I’ll never watch it again, but I still maintain that it was a good time at the movies and it was nice to have Star Wars back. But it was only “good” based on the promise of Luke coming back for the sequel… and we all know now that went.

I can’t explain the embarrassment and frustration I felt sitting through The Last Jedi with my father. The man who took me to see the OT in 1997.


SAD!

There's nothing wrong with Batman Beyond, they were going for a Buffy vibe with stand-alone stories and problems with Terry's school or classmates over just making a bland superhero show in the future. I watch it every few years and it holds up.

Legend of Korra was criticized even when it aired, most people view it as a step down from Avatar. It has some solid seasons (1, 3 and 4), but they introduced way too many secondary characters and even most of the main cast are underused like Asami and the brothers. Tenzin was the only truly great character in the show.

I've always thought the idea of Batman Beyond was way cooler than maybe the reality of it.

I saw a few episodes when it first came out and found it pretty good, but I wasn't like swept away or anything.

Like I said in the post, first season is great, then they did away with the lead villain and everything became "monster of the week" with no real overarcing threat. There were still good episodes, but it was all self-contained and nothing led anywhere.

Return of the Joker was the first time since that first season where anything actually mattered. I was addicted to that film when it came out, but over time I just find it a passable two parter and not the ending the show deserved.

And DC keep screwing up the premise whenever they bring it back as a comic. At one point they killed Terry and Tim Drake was in the suit during the New 52 and they had to timewarp that out of existence.

Dude watch it again. They just cram the nostalgia down your throat. New source music every 60 seconds. There’s some good humor and heartfelt moments but it’s a rough watch.

At least it had plots, unlike the Fred Wolf show lol. Also… the FW fanboy is talking about dogshite animation? What?

First 3 seasons or so were great. It definitely fell off though. But I don’t judge sitcoms very harshly.

Last I checked the FW toon has been the one selected for a full rerun on MyToonTV over all the ones with plots, must be doing something right?

FW had cheapo animation, big whoop, so did everything else not backed by Warner at the time. Doesn't mean the bar has to lowered twenty years later.
