Rallies are bad when they help things I dislike and are good when they help things I like.

L-Block was funny as a one-off thing and it was kinda cool to see its natural strength change based on that performance. I'm fine with the Undertale rally because the fanbase was actually pretty cool about it, they were just passionate for the game and weren't really mean-spirited about it. It was fucking awesome watching Vivi of all characters get rallied to beat Mario. And of course Pokemon wrecking stuff is always hilarious to me.

The Draven stuff was very mean-spirited on the other hand, which took a bit of fun out of his meteoric rise, though Link/Draven/Shepard is still a god damn all-time classic for the insanity and drama it had. Likewise, I didn't really like Melee > CT mostly because it was the best CT looked in ages and it was probably the one chance it had to actually give OoT a good fight, but again, the actual match between the two was a fun one itself.

I don't think it's an either/or situation. You can like some rallies and dislike others. At the end of the day it's a dumb little popularity contest that only weird nerds like us are really passionate about. The people who voted for L-Block, Draven, and Undertale probably don't even remember them winning these contests like we still do.

At the end of the day, it's all moot because we're all going to die and our planet and history will be absorbed by the sun, and thus future civilizations will never get to witness the time Kuja lost to a giant hand, and in a way that's both depressing and comforting.
