Unpopular opinions go here

I mean. NWN, DOS2 GM mode, and similar games are different thing, although I can't be sure what I would call them.

CRPGs.

dnd/pf has too many races
crunch is a good thing
zones are weak

Changing tacks, here's an unpopular opinion:

The MCU has always been, and continues to be, still really damn good for the most part.

Seriously? I would say that it's more unpopular to hate on the MCU than vice versa.

or the group has imbibed too much ROLE-not-ROLE juice.

That's gotta be some pretty potent juice!

CRPGs.

Not precisely. CRPGs are not only generally single player (although co-op is pretty common now) but introducing the human GM definitely changes the model.

Schedule IX
substances produced or caused by hallucination, inattention, or typographical error, moderate potential for abuse by comics.

I'm the other way around: it's a TTRPG only if and when you're all sitting around the same physical table, even if you need electronic aids while at said table in order to access online elements (e.g. spell write-ups, house rules, etc.) that have replaced or augmented paper books.

VTTs don't count as TTRPGs. Ever.

That is so very, very wrong. When I started playing online, I came to realize that online was the only real TTRPG.

lol... the TT in VTT and the TT in TTRPG are the same TT.

And, really, are there any VTT-only TTRPGs ....yet?

Counterpoint- The opening sequence was the best part of Secret Invasion.

(In all honesty, I think that the MCU is fine, overall. Heck, Ms. Marvel was genuinely awesome and fun. While none of the recent movies have been knock-down great, most of them have been good, and only Eternals was ... not good. I think that we are seeing is just a combination of the natural let-down after the culmination of the Endgame, and ... well, between the movies and the series, a lot of it doesn't feel like "fun discovery" but feels more like "doing homework." Secret Invasion ... that felt like assigned reading to me.)

I would generally agree with you, except for Thor: Love and Thunder. It had some good bits in it, but I think it's the worst Marvel movie made so far. Eternals might have been better if it were a TV show where it had a more time to flesh out all of its ideas but it didn't, so it wasn't very good.

I think of Ragnarok as being the MCU's equivalent of Star Trek IV and Love and Thunder being Star Trek V.
