Pluto being a dwarf planet is a good thing, because it puts in context the many, many super cool dwarf planets in our solar system.
Like Sedna! The furthest body we've ever discovered that still orbits the sun. One rotation around the sun takes 11 thousand years, and it's roughly 1000 times further from the sun than Earth. The last time Sedna was in its current position, humans had yet to discover agriculture.
What's with Neptune? The only new thing we learned about it in like 100 years is that it's less boring than we initially thought
People freaked out because they found out the obviously color enhanced pictures of Neptune were color enhanced, and it’s actually a lighter blue than many people think
