Unpopular Opinions


What are some unpopular "Pretty Little Liars" opinions do you have?

Mine:

Cece as A >>>> Mona as A - Idky ppl hate Cece as A since she was less predictable than MonA was

Season 3 is better than Season 2
S6B is better than S6A

I think Emily belongs with Paige, she's far too good for Alison.

Thinking of Emison makes me puke a little in my mouth. I was REALLY hoping they wouldn't go there but its a million times worse with those ayyygs. Ick.

I agree with your 3 unpopular opinions. I still think season 6 and season 2 are the worst seasons, but I agree that 6B was better then 6A in general. 6x01 is one of the best episode ever though.

I think what happens with Cece and Mona is that Cece's reveal was awful and that's what people seem to remember from her. I find that reveal aside, she was a much more scary, twisted and intriguing A. She made it look like what Mona did to the liars was child play

My unpopular opinions (for this board anyways)

I like Emison and Alison

My thoughts on these unpopular opinions:
6A had a lot of potential but they didn't explore their PTSD enough and Shower was just unforgivable. Cece's reveal had more potential but having her explain everything to Alison was disrespectful to the PLLs and fans. They were tortured for years and they don't even get to be there for the reveal. Add in the weak flashbacks and timeline issues, they squandered the goodwill. I can see why you would like it better because the Mona reveal was straight from the books after she said it wouldn't be the same. Cece was the right person but they could've executed it better.

My unpopular opinions:
Ezra is awful and ruined Aria's character. This is the general consensus on this board but the couple is very popular on social media.
I wouldn't watch the show without Spencer that being said Spencer dying in the end would be remarkable if done well.
Alison and Mona should've stayed dead. They completed their arcs.
Caleb should've stayed gone after Ravenswood.
I liked Spaleb until Caleb became a pain. I enjoy most of Spencer's relationships and I wish she would've dated Andrew instead of Aria.

@perfect_lover, OT: but was Alison originally written to be dead in the earlier seasons?

Or was she always gonna come back? Were the "hallucinations" she had with the Liars when they were ill or hurt always gonna be just hallucinations?

reply

I think the writers tinkered with the idea from the beginning in case they wanted to bring her back but they probably weren't 100 percent sure until season 3.

She was originally suppose to be dead and those hallucinations were included so we would still be able to see Ali interact with the girls. Then they started thinking that they could bring her back to life and say that it was really Alison rather than hallucinations.

reply

These aren't very unpopular on this board, but unpopular on twitter and the rest of the fandom in general.

I can't stand any of the main ships: Ezria, Haleb, Spoby, and especially Emison. I want all of the girls to end the show single and independent.

I hate how they've ruined Alison's character. I can hardly stand watching her anymore, she annoys me so much.

I don't think they should refrain from killing off LGBT characters, or making them bad. This is a mystery show, and they need to do what's best for the storyline without regards to sexuality. There could definitely be a few more "good" LGBT characters on this show, but overall I don't see it as a huge issue.

1: I like CeCe as Big A it just wasn't executed well.
2: 7x10 is far from one of the best episodes.
3: Season 4 is one of my fave seasons.

That's all I got.

reply

I agree with you about CeCe as Big A. I didn't mind it either only it wasn't executed well at all.
I like Emison too, although I don't like what they have done to Alison either. I thought that could have been an interesting relationship that could have made Emily a lot less boring and really messed with the dynamics within the group had they committed to it. Now it just feels tacked on. Emison would have miles better than deus ex machina Harvey, which only made Emily look stupid and weak.
Also, Ezra assassinated Aria's character. The only thing that could redeem her is if she is Uber A, which is never gonna happen.

1. Season 4 is one of my favorite seasons. I prefer it over season 3.
2. I enjoyed "Grave New World" when it aired and still do.
3. "Shadow Play" is one of my least favorite episodes. The first PLL ep I slept thru.
4. "Missed Me x100" wasn't that great.
5. I like Lucas.
6. "Welcome to the Dollhouse" is overrated. I would have liked it better if the liars at least try to unmask Charles when they had the chance instead of running away.
7. The Toby and Ezra reveals wasn't shocking at all to me. I knew they were going to be copouts.
8. I prefer Aria over Hanna and Emily.

reply

Totally agree that Welcome to the Dollhouse is overrated. I enjoy that they tried something different and "went there" but the execution fell flat for me. I also hated Shadow Play. It's the only episode I skip while rewatching the series; bores me to death.

My other unpopular opinions:
-I hate all the "ships" and wish they had ended seasons ago
-I love Paily the most
-I love season 4 and rank it third best behind 2 and 1
-I hate Wren
-I don't find any of the main guys attractive
-I wish we got more storylines with the parents like in the early seasons

unpopular opinions...

Shower was actually good. this is to say, i loved her in the beginning. when she really seemed to jsut be a broken damaged person locked up and afraid of everything, i was good iwth that. once it became obvious she was evil (around the time she got a haircut) it started going down hill.

i dont think eddie lamb was hot chocolate. hes barely reasonably good looking. if anyone deserves that title it was shana.

holden was the best boyfriend we ever had, even if we were only pretending.

its more fun shipping forum members than actual characters on this show (perfectcat 4 life)

I actually agree with a lot of the unpopular opinions here, haha.

- I like Alison and Emison... Though I wish Alison was written as being a bit more loyal/loving to Emily.

- I don't like how the show almost immediately shipped everyone off. Come on, anyone who ever thought Ezria, Haleb, or Spoby wasn't happening is crazy. Emily is the only character who there has been some question as to who she will end up with.

- I'd like to see some old mysteries (even those back in season 1) cleared up.
