So, who's lost their popularity/hype? Who's gained their popularity/hype? Who has remained steady in their popularity/hype? And what got a ton of hype but never lived up to it? Can be about anything TV/movies/games/characters/people/objects. I'll start off with a few.

Steady. Marvel movies. Marvel just keep kicking butt in the box office. Even though Hulk wasn't super fantastic it still made a good sum of money and I think people still trust that Marvel can help make good movies. Their hype hasn't risen but it hasn't fallen either.
Up/Down. Batman. Lee and Loeb brought the hype. But I think once they leave, they hype will die.
Up. SNKPlaymore. The new owners are taking care of business. With a consistent flow of new titles and a consistent plan of home releases and an active website, they know how to take care of fans and their properties.
Steady. Capcom/Sega/Nintendo/Square/Konami. No hype games from anybody. Just mild hype games like Viewtiful Joe. People are excited about X-2 but, are they very, very excited?
Steady. X-Box and Gamecube. No real hype for each system right now, but their popularity isn't dying either.
Up/Steady. Transformers. They've been on a comeback for over 2 years and the steam is not running out.
Middle/Down. PSP. I smell too much hype- like when Sony first talked about the PS2 and how great and powerful it was going to be. Sure the PS2 is powerful but we all know about it's flaws. I see Sony repeating the PS2 hype with the PSP hype. Just say no to Sony!
Up/Steady. GBA. Darn good system. FFTA plus other good titles on their way.
Way Up. Half Life 2. Too bad that a Mac version won't come any time soon, if at all.
Down. New movies. There aren't any new movies that I'm excited about, aside from Matrix Revolutions and RoTK. But not even that much. Hmmm.

Bored? "160"

I know I'm no hype, at least not anymore. Nobody read my posts, even when there are bad jokes about Terry or valuable information on who's hot and who's not in Gyakuten Saiban. I think I jumped the shark when I began to talk about ostriches. or stopped. yes. No, not in the butt. Or about boobies. Boobies are fun. OUCH, I SAID NOT THE BUTT GODdamit I Whooo..
...
I think... Whose T shirt is it anyway? I think the best advice I got was from... Martin... Martin Scorsese... Ah... Euh... I was having problems understanding my... eh... my character taking abuse from that... low ranking officier played by Chris O'donnel, and he, and he... and he told me "you don't have to undelstand it, your chalacter does!" Oh, that always stuck with me. Are you from the wardrobe?

Iggy, you so crazy.

I predict the hype for soap flakes in a box will rise exponentially following the second Civil War in the United States.
