Praising Shows You Don't Watch	comment	Praising Shows You Don't Watch is the inverse of Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch, in which these people somehow know exactly how good something is, without having ever actually seen it. Maybe they saw so much praise they feel like they can account for having actually watched it for themselves, or maybe they're just carbon-copying someone's opinions to fit into the group. Or they have seen a fragment of the work, liked it, and assumed the rest is equally good. Or perhaps they've seen the Audience Coloring Adaptations and decided they really liked those, which means the original must be just as awesome or even better. Maybe they've gotten their information from resources that describe the work. Or perhaps they just like the idea so much that they don't care what the actual execution is like. Who knows? Similar to somehow knowing a show is utter crap without having seen an episode, it's one of the greatest mysteries of human culture, and has only been exacerbated by the Age of the Internet. This is often a major contributor to Mainstream Obscurity. When it becomes really commonplace, Popcultural Osmosis Failure is not far behind. Compare Popcultural Osmosis and Fanwork-Only Fans. Often prone to happening with Sacred Cow works.

As such, they're held in extremely high regard by the Only the Creator Does It Right side of the fandom... the number among them who've actually played those games being very small. Those who have tend to believe they're decent games, but not flawless masterpieces.

For instance, claiming that Claw was the series's main villain and therefore Scar is a ripoff of him, when he only appeared in a couple episodes, or claiming he has some familial or personal connection to Kimba, when he doesn't.

Not a lot of this "fanbase" has actually seen the movie or has an interest in seeing it — something that Sony learned the hard way when they tried to re-release the movie in theaters to capitalize on what they thought was a genuine fanbase, only for it to bomb hard.

This may be a major part of the franchise's Misaimed Fandom, as it means people essentially get the Eva experience from in-jokes, parodies, fandom memes, fanfiction, or even doujins—which, needless to say, skate over things a lot.

The troll characters are teenagers who are quirky and easy enough to identify with that it is often unclear when browsing the plethora of fan works whether some people are even aware that there is a story going on with these characters, or whether they simply latched on to the character designs, alien romance habits and exaggerated manners.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Undertale got an awful lot of attention for the first month or two after it came out—absurdly high Metacritic scores, a quirky yet endearing aesthetic, and its two-year history of almost solo development (the entire design team could fit in a phone booth) quickly brought it to the attention of a wide audience. Tumblr in particular is a hotbed of Undertale fan work, many of whom have not played the game themselves. Given how Undertale runs on its characters and story, rather than its gameplay (a modest combination of roleplaying game systems and Bullet Hell mechanics), most of the non-players who sing its praises do so for the writing and personality.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_5cd1aa89	comment	Nineteen Eighty-Four. Many phrases from the book, like "Big Brother", "thoughtcrime", "doublethink", and "Room 101", have entered pop culture, so quoting these phrases and being aware of the general theme of "totalitarianism and censorship are bad" is probably enough to convince someone else who hasn't read it that you have. Ironically, his essay Politics in the English Language specifically advises people from using "dying" metaphors that one is used to seeing in print, and parroting them off without taking the time to fully understand what they mean in an effort to look smart. Now 1984 is one of the biggest sources of that. Orwell's work in general falls into this a lot, particularly from people who have either never read any of his writings other than 1984. Anyone describing Orwell as a conservative or a "fanatical anti-Communist" is talking out of their proverbial arses. Brazil was inspired by Nineteen Eighty-Four, despite director Terry Gilliam having never read the book until after the film's production. According to a recent survey in Britain, two-thirds of people deliberately lie about having read a book to impress others. 1984 topped the list, with 42% of those surveyed admitting to lying about reading it. As a point of comparison, only half that number admitted to lying about reading The Bible.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Due to the negative feedback about the fourth edition of Dungeons & Dragons, many gamers have an utterly unhealthy love of Pathfinder as it's an outgrowth of the game's third edition (which, ironically, also had a loudly negative reception and people rushing back to second edition). This coupled up with fourth edition being marketed aggressively towards new players (to the point of actively insulting the previous editions and those that enjoyed them), with Wizards of the Coast supporting game shops to run "Encounter" events to show off 4E, to result in a lot of new gamers praising Pathfinder to death in order to agree with older gamers rather than trying it and seeing if they liked it first.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_7fc78282	comment	The Lord of the Rings gets this, too. Mostly for people who haven't exactly read it, but praise it more for what it accomplished. This one is perhaps a very sad example, as most people who claim to love it might never have cracked it open, but have seen the movies, and therefore think they know the story. The movies were great, but missing J. R. R. Tolkien's classic writing style and a number of the important themes of the work were either truncated or left out. And there's the sheer number of non-Tolkien ideas that were added to the script. This can go even further for some of Tolkien's other works, particularly The Silmarillion, which is both considered Tolkien's masterpiece and an extremely difficult book to get through, due to its length, language, and lack of a traditional structure. Due to wikis and "lore channels" on sites like YouTube, it's very easy for someone to learn much of the fundamental information in The Silmarillion without ever actually reading it, which can give people a very lopsided impression of what it's actually about or what it focuses on due to the information being freely blended with Word of God or half-finished notes. For instance: Tolkien referred to Sauron as "Mairon" all of once and only in a letter, but certain circles of fanon tend to use it as much as the names he's actually called in canon, if not moreso.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_85e32df4	comment	Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is sometimes praised because people who found out that it was the "real" sequel to Super Mario Bros. instead of the Dolled-Up Installment released as Super Mario Bros. 2 in North America. Actually playing - and surviving - probably silences the praise. And the US version of Super Mario Bros 2 was adapted from a game built off of the original prototype for the game.note Nintendo's perception (as well as a large part of the gaming community at the time) was that just making the same game with different levels wouldn't sell as well as something similar but different enough to be its own game. A prototype for a "vertical scrolling" Mario game was made to contrast the original's When All Else Fails, Go Right. With a looming deadline and not much progress, the prototype was shelved while a Mission-Pack Sequel was made instead. Later, this prototype would be expanded into Doki Doki Panic. This means the so-called Super Mario Bros. USA was the actual intended sequel, though with more of a storybook aesthetic than originally envisioned.

Since none of its works had releases outside of Japan at the time, it was pretty unknown until a Let's Play of the first main game made it popular. Despite a fan-translated English patch, the first game's anime adaptation was as far as many fans went. However, once the first two main games were officially released in the West through Steam, the problems were mostly remedied.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_914ba844	comment	The Wizard of Oz downplays this. Almost everyone has seen it, but most people only watch it when they're kids or when they're with kids, and so can go many years without being exposed to it. It's common to watch it again after a long absence and being surprised by a sight gag, quip, or sequence that one had totally forgotten about. Or to suddenly get a joke that went over your head years ago. This is true of a lot of the earlier Walt Disney animated films as well, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and (especially) Fantasia. However this trope is more or less played straight with a lot of the live-action films that he did, like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Swiss Family Robinson, and Old Yeller.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_961b37e0	comment	Thanks to the 2010s-era superhero movie boom, as well as the existence of various resources that allow people to learn the basics of a character or storyline without actually reading any comics, a lot of fans of the films tend to declare the films great due to their accuracy to the comics, without actually reading said comics or displaying much awareness of them. One of the stranger cases of this was the DC Extended Universe, where fans of Zack Snyder's various films tend to praise his films for being comic-accurate and then despise the influence of Geoff Johns for his Executive Meddling—ignoring that much of Snyder's work, especially Zack Snyder's Justice League, was an adaptation of Johns's own work with the team and the universe, and used many ideas and concepts that were no older than 2011.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_9b3518ef	comment	Happens in the classical music world as well; everyone's heard of Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johannes Brahms, and so forth (Ludwig van Beethoven gets a pass for the "Ode to Joy", "FÃ¼r Elise", and the opening of the Fifth Symphony) but few can name a piece of theirs or identify it on hearing (to Jeremy Paxman's eternal frustration on University Challenge). Made more confusing by the fact that their best-known hits are sometimes not at all similar to the rest of their oeuvre - Brahms' Wiegenleid ("Lullaby"), for example, which is almost entirely unlike everything else he ever wrote.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible. Some people who espouse it as the direct word of God haven't read more than a few verses of it (as opposed to Biblical scholars, who tend to analyze and discuss it academically, regardless of their faith or lack thereof). On the flip side, some people who hate it haven't read much of it either. Some traditions do cover a large portion of the text over the course of a few years, though.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_a6543322	comment	A good number of Touhou Project fans have not played the games proper, and are only familiar with the games through fanart, doujins, remixes and other fan material. Most fans who have seen what the games look like praise them for having beautiful bullet patterns, but won't play them. Then there are Touhou Project fans that are only familiar with the games through canon and semi-canon gaiden works by the games' creator (from fantasy-land travelogues up to and including a book-length short story series), and praise the project as a whole because there's no single phrase referring to these works alone. This is perhaps part of why a lot of Touhou fans who are into the lore and fan works don't play other shoot-em-up series and why the general shoot-em-up fanbase is baffled by the Touhou fanbase.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_a88418fd	comment	Stephen Sondheim has a reputation as the greatest of songwriters in late 20th century musical theatre (if not musical theatre as a whole), but of his solo works — as opposed to often-produced shows like West Side Story that he only contributed lyrics to early in his career — few are produced on any regular basis beyond theatre hotbeds such as New York and London, and they usually don't run for long, owing to his tendency for Audience Alienating Premises. Many of those shows, such as Pacific Overtures, Merrily We Roll Along, Assassins, and Passion, were flops in their original productions and still haven't caught on with the general public in restagings. (The key exceptions to this rule are Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Into the Woods.)

You'll almost certainly find the former number far exceeds the latter.

The show has some diehard fans who literally have never experienced any part of it outside of the cast soundtrack and certain promotional materials released online or on television. This is now somewhat averted, as it has expanded to other cities and has a national tour (although those tickets often sell out months in advance as well), and has been released on Disney+.

There's also a surprisingly large group who are in it because of the multitude of surprisingly well done fan works floating around the net, to the point that few haven't even watched more than a few episodes since it debuted, or even watched the show at all!

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The fandom is prone to praising episodes it can't watch, leading to the sardonic observation by some fans that when a "classic" Missing Episode is discovered, those who described it as a classic often go very quiet... The classic example here is "Tomb of the Cybermen", which was considered the high point of the show as horror before its shock rediscovery in the 90s. After which it was seen as hokey, nonsensical racist garbage afterwards. Some people comment that this may have a lot to do with the high reputation of Season 5, which at the time was so Strictly Formula that it bored Patrick Troughton into quitting the role, but ended up mostly missing with plenty of time for the Nostalgia Goggles to kick in. It's also been inverted, with some stories that were remembered in conventional opinion as very poor getting suddenly lauded when they got released on VHS, or rediscovered after some time on the "missing" list - the classic examples here are "Enemy of the World" and "The Underwater Menace" for opinion improving once more episodes got found, and "The Gunfighters" and "The Sunmakers" for re-evaluated video releases. In-Universe - the character Whizzkid in "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy" is an unsubtle and pleasantly sadistic parody of obnoxious 1980s Who Fan Dumb who insist everything is Ruined FOREVER but are too young to remember whatever period they held as the show's glory days. He's obsessed with a circus, but due to his young age never actually saw much of it. Note that he has to base his opinions on the show by pointless bits of ephemera like 'poster design', a direct parallel to fans having to guess the quality of Missing Episodes from Radio Times listings and set photographs. Although the story shows very clearly that Whizzkid is right about the Psychic Circus, just as the fans he is supposed to mock would argue that VHS releases subsequently proved them right about their favourite era.

Now look at its sales figures, and ask yourself how many of those people actually played it when you could actually obtain a cartridge for a reasonable price. Even then, claims about its amazingness tend to skate over things like the Slow-Paced Beginning, the rickety and rudimentary battle system, and the many weird mechanics. It's also not often discussed that the most famous part of the game is also the final boss fight, which the rest of the game is almost nothing like. The satirical videogame website The Hard Times even had an article called "Huge Earthbound Fan Excited to Play It for the First Time."

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_d794a2a2	comment	In the 1990s, the success of the movies of AKIRA and Ghost in the Shell (1995) meant that many in the West professed to be "into manga", in many cases without ever seeing any more examples of the form than those two films. Or appreciating the difference between manga and anime. Or that there's a lot of different genres within the anime/manga world, besides dystopian sci-fi. This has created a weird situation where many fans of old-school anime want the industry to go back to "the way it used to be," i.e. focused on dystopian sci-fi; but it never actually was focused on that genre. For some reason, the other types of shows didn't start getting imported until years later.

To the ten people who actually read the manga though, the common arguments used to defend Other M made little sense, as the game's plot directly contradicted it in several instances; mainly in regards to Samus's post-traumatic stress disorder and general characterization. Notably, a major plot point in Other M is that Adam resents Samus having left his command and Samus sees it as a black mark on their relationship—which absolutely was not the case in the manga.

In particular, the well-known Plot Hole of "nobody was there when he said Rosebud" arises from this, as the actual film does explain this. Another well-known claim is that it's about a guy who wants a sled—he gets the sled a good ways into the movie, he just realizes it won't make him happy and leaves it in a pile of junk. Also, the reason it was considered the best movie ever made on release is often misattributed; it was originally praised not for its story or characters but its cinematography. It wasn't long after when the same style of camerawork and framing became commonplace.

Praising Shows You Don't Watch / int_fa97835d	comment	For a long time, Knuckles Chaotix enjoyed a degree of popular mystique in the Sonic the Hedgehog fandom, owing to its status as a spinoff staring Knuckles, being the introduction to multiple popular characters (and for many years was one of the few game appearances of Ensemble Dark Horse Mighty the Armadillo), its excellent sprite-work, top-notch soundtrack, and the fact that few were able to play it, owing to the 32X's low sales and being notoriously difficult to emulate (so much so that the game has never been re-released in an official capacity). Unfortunately, its reputation took a turn for the worse once technology improved enough for more fans to play it, since it suffered from issues such as the central ring-tether mechanic being gimmicky and frustrating, the labyrinthine level design, and the poor structure and pacing that made the game a slog to play through.
