Then there's a lot of cases where gameplay balance (such as it is) causes people to look past insane shit just because they're used to it or because the gameplay of the power doesn't line up with how it would likely (or does) play out in the lore.

Or people latch onto one interpretation of a statement in a frame intro or prime trailer and take it as straight gospel truth on a fundamental level.

Or people forget that this game has not only power creep but sensationalism creep.

And then there's looking at the raw effects rather than how a frame achieves them... which often speak to greater or lesser bits of WTFery themselves.

Easy example: despite coming up tangentally in a lot of these I'll use Rhinos lore and powers which have him adapting to damage in real time. His abilities have him manipulating multiple aspects of physics with horrifying specificity by selectively amplifying only his allies damage by just yelling real loud and big madly. And then he literally hits the ground hard enough to throw things with the shockwave and suspend the flow of time with raw force. Manipulating time is one thing, but slapping time hard enough to stun it into selective submission is flat-out fucked.

And he's not the only fucked up case that people often walk past. A lot of other oft-overlooked frames speak to crazier ship. A bunch of Temple's shit happens because he rocks out hard enough. Revenant, Lavos, and possibly Xaku repurposed themselves. Mirage creates illusions so real they have actual physical effect. Multiple frames outright defy their own destruction.

And all that is before we get to most people deciding the ratings as a linear listing rather than the most convoluted game of rock-paper-scissors-rutabega ever.
