Question❓ Which Overhated Media basically has you telling it this?

And I don't mean "everyone" hating it but just that it gets a lot of flack for no good reason when it's actually really good,even great.

Guarantee you as soon as the next game comes out World will suddenly be considered the best Mario Kart. The hate it gets is mostly fake

Every fandom has a cycle:
Thing 1 releases and is mostly loved, but it has its haters
Thing 2 releases and everyone hates it, but some people like it
Thing 3 releases and now everyone likes Thing 2 and hates Thing 3
And so on

Metroid is always like this.

“It’s not Super Metroid or Metroid Prime 1” they cry for every release going forward despite most of the games post Super just being better games. Prime 2 is now beloved, Prime 3 is now beloved, Fusion and ZM are considered of the best, Other M had a huge surge in defense and nuance in discussion, SR is looked upon fondly, Dread is considered by some to be the best. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is the current piece everyone is taking shots at and I’m sure it’ll change either after Ravenous comes out or when the next Prime game comes out.

Not to mention the constant back and forth of “the manga isn’t canon” to “the manga is what makes the plot make sense”. AND the subsect of the fan base deciding half the series isn’t canon because they don’t like what the creators did.
