'The latest superhero movies are awful. Most or all of the rest of them have too much CGI, cringe humor, unlikable main characters, and/or bad writing and acting.'
In the comments, readers shared even more things everyone was genuinely excited about that were actually.um.not so great. Here's what they had to say:"Shopping on Black Friday. Most black Friday deals now are products manufactured specifically for the sale with wildly high MSRP compared to their comparable counterparts, so that they can be marked down 50–70% to their true relative market value.
. In the comments, readers shared even more things everyone was genuinely excited about that were actually...um...not so great. Here's what they had to say:"Shopping on Black Friday. Most black Friday deals now are products manufactured specifically for the sale with wildly high MSRP compared to their comparable counterparts, so that they can be marked down 50–70% to their true relative market value."; corporations have finished the job they started, killing the holiday season and dressing it up as if it were still alive. I've worked in retail vendor services too long, so maybe I'm a bit jaded.""Subscription TV. I want to watch everything, and originally with no ads. Now, you're suddenly up $200 bucks and still watching ads. As a younger individual, I think cable is better."should have it printed big and bold on the front of the label. Zero added sugar or other misleading hype just means they added the nasty stuff to the product." "Designer anything. I've never understood the draw of buying a name rather than a product. I could maybe understand it if itmeant better quality, but that's not true. Just because you're NOT buying designer doesn't mean you're getting crap. You can get just as good quality for a fraction of the price. So, why pay sooo much more?""People will spend $400 on a designer belt, pair it with skinny jeans and a black shirt, and then think they're a style icon.""Crocs. I had a child in my 2-year-old class wear them, and they were too small. I nearly broke a finger trying to get them on and off his feet.""The resurgence of vinyl. LPs now cost twice as much as CDs, and artists are bleeding their fans dry by offering multiple colored vinyl variations of the same album. And despite so-called better pressings and high-end stereo equipment, you still get dust on the record and pops and ticks." "Times Square in NYC. I hate that place. Everyone just stands in place. Discount Elmo is constantly harassing you for pictures. Any chain place you eat at there has a $5–$10 upcharge just for being in Times Square. It's all ads. Tourists are obnoxiously everywhere, just believing that going to Times Square is the dream. I've seen people just stand outside of places taking pictures. I don't understand the allure, and I never will. I don't get why it's a tourist destination at ALL.". And why do people stand there in the cold for New Year's Eve waiting for the ball to drop? You're standing there freezing for hours, and you probably have to wear a diaper if you want to conserve your spot.""The latest tech gadgets. I get that new phones, smartwatches, or other devices come with cool features, but many people upgrade to the latest models just because of the hype, even though their current device works just fine." "Professional sports. All of them. In the last 50 years, it has gone from a casual interest and conversation starter to an expensive personality trait. Not to mention that a grand total of maybe one player on these teams is actually from the city they play for. All the athletes are basically farmed, bred, and trained similar to the way racehorses are farmed, bred, and trained." "Dubai. I've had the chance to go there a handful of times so far, and despite the immense hype, it ranks as one of my least favorite places in the Middle East. Sure, there are some cool buildings, but it lacks the rich history and heritage of many lesser-known cities. Not to mention being unbearably humid, and the uncomfortable feeling that much of the incredible buildings were "Living in a trendy city. Basically, spending so much of your money on basic living expenses that you can hardly ever afford to do the fun things that made the city appealing in the first place. You're better off living somewhere cheap and saving your money so you can visit lots of different cool places." "The Segway. It was hyped to the stars prior to its 2001 rollout, but, while interesting, it wasn't in any way transformative.""Air fryers. I mean, how is it different than a toaster oven? Or just a regular oven, for that matter?""Comic book movies. The very few that I have liked in the last 20 years are either underrated or not the most popular among the general public. Since 2000, these are the ones I think are the best:. Most or all of the rest of them have too much CGI, cringe humor, unlikable main characters, and/or bad writing and acting."What other things got a ton of hype but actually turned out disappointing?
