I have a friend who really likes the Jerome Gambit for some reason, and I just tell them to stop at the Giucco Piano. The Giucco and Italian are the best though.

I really disagree with the tier list.

When the benoni is in legendary while the sicilian is in garbage we have some education problems.

I still kinda disagree with the tier list but it's way more improved.

Well this is a set of opinions, and is somewhat subjective (though not entirely), I wouldn't expect you to agree with all of my opinions on the opening. Without going into why a ranking should be this or that it's kind of a meaningless conversation. But if you want to create a tierlist feel free.

Yeah that's actually very true we definitely should respect other's opinions.

Eh, kind of... there's a difference between an opinion and a preference, an opinion is a belief about the fact of a matter, where the facts aren't known... so it's partly subjective but it pertains to the objective. Really an opinion should be justified by reason. Respect others opinions categorically implies that we do so irrespective of reason, and doesn't makes sense. We should only respect opinions insofar as they can't be rationalized due to the facts not being known. Likewise to criticize an opinion requires the use of reasoning. The issue with your post is you didn't provide any reasoning, so it's not useful or apparently justified, and sort of reduces opinion to preference.

This tier list is entirely subjective.

The openings I put in Legendary are basically just my favorite openings.

Later today, I'll probably make another tier list with these openings that is based instead on objectivity, to see how close it matches up with my current one (which will likely not be close at all).

Okay, I made an objective tier list now as well:
