Imo they aren't getting nearly enough of hate they deserve. I'm not against figure collecting in general but FP are the ugliest motherfucking thing i ever seen in this department, for the same amount of resources, labour and energy they could produce something much better. In fact, a consistent long serie of figures faithful to the original (not ultra-deformed) across so many franchises would been great, but alas only thing there is are those unholy abominations.

That title isn't getting as much hate as it deserves.

It's either "What do you think got way too much hate?" or "What do you think got way more hate than it should've?". You somehow combined those sentences into a grammatically broken mess.

And it's fucked up that this hasn't been pointed out and isn't one of the top comments.

Waterworld is a fantastic movie. Creative world-building, unbelievable sets, stunts and performances (Dennis Hoper as an over the top villain? Yes please) I just can't understand all of the hate it received!

Men wearing wigs.

For whatever reason, we've decided as a society that women wearing wigs/weaves/extensions to make themselves feel attractive and nice is perfectly normal, but if a man does it it's laughable and pathetic. I say, wigs for anyone who wants them!

Also before the accusations start, I'm not a bald dude lol.

Microwaving food. Too many people think that it's radiating the food. Its just making the water molecules in the food wiggle and heat up to warm the food through internal collisions.

Nickelback. Hate started as a joke but became real. Not like they're groundbreaking, but they don't deserve the amount of actual hate they got.

Also Korn's dubstep album. Not every song was a hit, but there were quite a few bangers on that track list. Get Up got me into dubstep and still goes hard.

Cyberpunk 2077 - it was overhyped as fuck but as someone who ignores the bullshit grind mill of video game journalism it was a decent game on release that became pretty fucking awesome after patches and the expansion.

Mass Effect 3's (ultimate) ending:

I get it. I get that after a series of EXCELLENT games that touted meaningful choices, "select an ending video" was lame.

Were there better ways it could have been done without planting an infinite "tree of death" taking into account every player's individual choices from the entire trilogy? Sure!

I'm sad that this resulted in things like death threats and crap, from people who obviously have no idea what game developers do for a living. They obviously didn't deserve that.

The added "green ending" still gets hate even. It was fine. The game was fine. It told a story and was a blast to play through. (Even despite EA's constant executive meddling!)

I wish it wasn't profitable to whip people into riotous frenzy over such things.

Starfield. The game isn't bad, it just isn't as good and the game design was especially outdated for its release window. It's legitimately a better RPG than most Bethesda games.

I'm fairly confident modders will actually be able to salvage it despite its flaws.

Crocs. I got my first pair when I was a teenager and they still work now (edit: 30yrs old); though I recently got a new pair because the bottoms were completely smooth on the old pair.

"Ugly" cars. Aka Pontiac Aztec, PT Cruiser, Fiat Multipla, etc. Yeah, they might be ugly as sin, but they're more interesting from a visual standpoint. I'd rather have the road filled with ugly cars than filled with cars that mostly look the same.

Windows Phone, particularly Windows Phone 8.1. It had its flaws, the biggest being the lack of third-party support of course but the UX was the best I've ever experienced on a mobile device.

The UI was very different from Android/iOS but felt more consistent and intuitive. The Live Tiles especially were just such a good feature to get as much information as possible on one screen. And it all looked so incredibly good for the time with its silky smooth animations.

It's a shame Microsoft ruined it all with Windows Phone 10...

The live action Cowboy Bebop

The ending of Battlestar Galactica.

Teen Titans Go.

I think most of the hate came from the people who grew up with the 2003 show, which ended abruptly, leading them to believe that TTG was meant to be a replacement.

Most of the hate has died down now, but I still think all that contempt was unwarranted.

Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.

Mass Effect Andromeda. The hate was so intense it caused the publisher to disavow the series entirely.

The hate was because people were comparing Andromeda (the start of a new trilogy) with the entirety of the first trilogy. People were upset that Andromeda wasn’t grander in scale than all three former games combined. The gameplay was fine, and it was clear that they were trying to build the story up just like they had done with the original trilogy. There were several DLC chapters planned, and it was going to grow into an entire series of its own.

It’s like people forgot that the original trilogy spent an entire game just introducing the main villain. Like you didn’t even realize who the main villain for the trilogy was until the very end of the game. But when Andromeda did something similar, people got baby-mad about it.
