I love to laugh.

If anyone would like to give me a fandom that you'd like me to share three of my unpopular (or "likely to piss off someone somewhere") opinions about, feel free to comment.

I've done this meme before, but I never talked about the fandoms I wanted to talk about. The last time, it was just Disney and Teen Titans. HIT ME UP, PLEASE?

(If you don't know my fandoms, just look through my userpics. If there's something you think I'd be familiar with but isn't in my userpics or interests, go ahead and ask!)

I'm tempted to do both! I'll do Sailor Moon, though. If nobody asks for Avatar, I'll do that in response to your comment.

1. Pegasus/Helios and Chibiusa's relationship creeps me out, especially in the anime. I think it's because he's a horse most of the time and she falls in love with him/likes him romantically before she realizes that Pegasus is actually human. It squicks me out because...
A) HE IS A GODDAMN HORSE.
B) She is way too young to consider boys; she's, what, eight or something like that? I know she isn't even in junior high.
And C) HE IS A HORSE AKHLA;GAKGA.
It doesn't bother me as much in the manga's storyline, though.

2. I'm not sure if this is a popular fandom opinion or not, but I don't like the canon confirmation that Mamoru is essentially "Sailor Earth", because he's the prince of the earth or some shit. It's like, I get it, the sailor scouts were princesses or at least connected with a royal kingdom so it makes sense for him, but I felt like a huge opportunity was wasted. I really wanted to see a Sailor Earth and it should've been Naru rather than Mamoru by himself.

3. I do like Mamoru, but I hate how glorified his character is within the fandom. He isn't a perfect man nor is he the perfect boyfriend. He has flaws, many flaws. He can also be a douchebag, despite his good intentions. and I'd really appreciate it if the fandom didn't gloss over his mistakes; for me, it makes him all the more endearing, but I would never call him perfect or pretend that he is something much bigger than he actually is. :\ Also, fics where Usagi is in need of saving and Mamoru is overpowered? It has to stop. Seriously. IT IS NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL IN CANON. Stop it, people.

Yes, in the anime it is creepy as hell.

I liked it in the manga, because him actually being the senshi of the Earth came with actual additional power, and I felt he was a bit depowered in the anime, so again, made sense in terms of the manga. In the anime it was just, what?

The fandom either hates him ridiculously or over loves him, and the fic is awful. Like they overpower him and this accompanied by DEPOWERING Usagi and it is like, ugh. NO

OH THANK GOD, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME. D: Yeah, Pegasus/Helios is a fucking creeper who likes Chibiusa when she is younger and OH GOD HE CALLS HER "MY LITTLE GIRL" IN THE ENGLISH DUB AND IT PUSHES EVERY BUTTON I'VE GOT.

I don't ... think he did anything in the anime? Except guard some gold crystal or some shit? And turn into a horse and RUN AWAAAAAAY? This is bad, I JUST watched the anime season and I already forgot. DX */will wiki it later.* He was definitely depowered in the anime, though. I liked him a lot better in the manga.

Most fandom I see ridiculously loves him, when I looked into it last. I've seen a lot of Mamoru hate that makes me sad, too. :/ He's not great, but he's not this horrible guy either. I hate those extremes.
