This is something that has started to annoy me a little lately, and surely, I can't be the only one who just dislikes seeing it on pages. You all know what I'm talking about, those extremely long lists in the trivia section on different pages that use hundreds of bullet points trying to explain how X is similar to Y or Z etc.

Like okay, you could say that if it's going to be added to pages, it's best place is to be in the trivia. But personally I don't think it should be on pages at all and instead, should be saved up for user blogs. Why? Because usually when it's added to pages, the moment one user says X is similar to Y and makes bullet points about it, a kind of snowball effect kicks in where even more villains are compared to X on the same page, which means while X villain is similar to Y, that also means that Z is also similar to both of them, and then it just feels like the same information spammed over and over again.

And when that happens, pages like Katz and Lotso (moreso Katz considering that judging by the scroll bar, the trivia takes up half the bloody page thanks to the similar villains section) get crammed up with an outright excessive amount of this cookie cutter garbage. Seriously, when the similar villains section gets that long, it just becomes, in my opinion, unnecessary and makes pages look unnappealing to read, trivia or not. Most of it the similarities users make aren't even interesting enough in the slightest for it to be mentioned at all in the trivia (e.g. both villains are pure evil, are big bads, are sadistic, have pet goldfishes etc.) and are just purely coincidental. It's not intriguing, it just makes you look at the info and shrug it off like "uh, okay".

In conclusion, I'd like to know everyone's thoughts on it, because personally, I don't think it should be added to pages, or at the very least, users should really tone it down and stop making people wonder "hm, why is this page so long? oh right, it's stretched out by the trivia".
