You see, this is the exact thing I'm talking about. The inability to just appreciate a character being a force/obstacle to overcome. Not every character needs a deep backstory or motivation for what they do. Sometimes they just need to have a goal opposite of the heroes, and be in the way of theirs. Suel wants to keep the DGP going. Ace and the others want to end it. And that's fine.

I like Evolt a lot, he's one of my favorite characters, but I don't need every villain to try and be like him. That would get boring to me just as fast as having villains who all have simple personalities outside of being antagonistic forces. Like I hope that the villains in Gotchard will have a lot of personality between the three of them.

And honestly, I can forgive Suel and Zitt for having little personality, for the sole reason that Beroba, Kekera, Daichi, Michinaga (for the while he was), Archimedel, and Girori all had such strong personalities to begin with. Like "head" villains like Suel and Zitt need to be balanced with lesser villains who do have a ton of personality. The reason why Giff fails as a head villain in Revice is because the other villains either didn't have enough personality as well (Akaishi) or had a confusing story arc (Daiji). I believe that if they were handled differently (as well as the Deadmans), that Revice would've been a stronger season, even if Giff was handled the same as being just a force to be overcome.

Side note, I actually kind of find MCU Thanos to be much more boring than the original comic version. Halving the universe's population because you think it'll save resources? Yea, I guess that's pretty mad. Going on a genocidal rampage to amass power, all so that you can impress your universe's equivalent of death and hope she'll get together with you? Now that's madness right now. Sure, his madness in the MCU is more understandable and all, but I don't personally think that's deserving of being called the "Mad Titan". Again, simping over Death herself is much more deserving of a title like that. Admittedly I've just been kind of tired of the MCU for a long time now over a multitude of reasons, so I'm not the best person to talk about for that.

What I'd want something to be stop is using that to insult anyone who doesn't have the same view as them. It's not only about picking on those who don't like a popular show but, also those who feel "enlightened" for hating something.

Definitely, but more often than not, discussions like that are rare because a lot of the time, it's a yelling match until someone just loses their voice. And if it's coming off like I'm insulting others, I'm sorry about that. I do like to use swear words as emphasis, but I get why it seems like an insult. And I'd like to think that my sort of own antagonism at others comes because of feeling like I'm being antagonized already, but that's admittedly my own fault if I read things too deeply in these discussions.

But I'll stand by this, it's often just much better to step back, and cut yourself out of talking about something you hate. I use to do that a lot myself, but I always felt crummy about it, because I was wasting energy talking about something I hated rather than talking about something I actually liked. So while I do like to have discussions that allow me to have new perspectives, those are rare for me and often carry a lot of tiring arguments. And admittedly I should also just step back from these types of discussions myself because they're so tiring to begin with.
