@JeanGen09181213 The Waterloo Road revival could definitely benefit from 10 to 13 episodes per series, although they at least release a new series every seven months or so…

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@JeanGen09181213 I can understand that shows with that much episodes (especially with lengths of 40 to 50 mins) can be tedious and stressful for everyone involved, but I’m sick and tired of eight episodes seasons every two or three flaming years.

@JeanGen09181213 Publishing fanfics changing every name and aspect of it and using said version to promote the franchises.

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@JeanGen09181213 The books had, as well as other flaws.
Heck, how many re-writes did we not get for the Last Jedi because of how the movie turned out?
If anything some fanfic stories could actually make for good real life content in this franchises; although I certainly hate this trend of…

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@JeanGen09181213 Why waste time watching wrestling based microdramas when you can watch wrestling itself or a soap opera itself (I actually like them).

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@DocSavage45899 @JeanGen09181213 I know that teenage years are not 100% horrible and not everyone has them bad. What I’m saying is that adults ignoring or downplaying the real struggles teens can (and more often than not) go through because they don’t have adult stresses is ignorant, and sometimes even harmful.

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@JeanGen09181213 I remember reading a bit of her 2006 series and liking her relationship with Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman.
I don’t entirely dislike her as Capt. Marvel, but damn she was very annoying in her first appearance, with the way she was teasing Spider-Man.

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@bookbeduion I mean… There are polite ways to say you didn’t like a something, even if you hate it passionately. Heck, in that same interview, Le Guin mentioned enjoying Star Trek and specifically stating that it went off the rails with Voyager.

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@artwithinpod That being said, I do agree with your overall statement: there are quite a few aspects of HP that are wonky and not favourable, but not being the most original is not the worst of its sins.

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@artwithinpod I think the real issue is that many adult critics back in the day praised the books as being super original and many authors pointed out that that was not the case when you actually delve deeper into fantasy, hence why Ursula K. Le Guin called imaginatively derivative.

@Pingosaurus Of Classic British children’s literature, and that’s because O had read a few Roald Dahl books and a bit of Dianne Wynne Jones too (even if their styles are different from Tolkien’s). I’m pretty sure children are more than capable of reading with no difficulty.

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@Pingosaurus Funny enough I never read the Hobbit as a kid, and English is not my first language (I scored a C1 on my TOEFLS and a B2 on my IELTS). When I first read it a few years ago, not only did I find it easy to read, but I was able to recognize the distinct tone and style…

@JeanGen09181213 @magattew But if the political climate doesn’t change, we’re in for a treat in the next few decades.

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@JeanGen09181213 @magattew (Ask Cuba and Venezuela), as well as the fact that while many countries here (such as my dear Mexico) are not poor as nations/powers, inequality is still rampant… I don’t think we’re completely lost, because as a region we do have culture, resources, and potential…

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@JeanGen09181213 Technology is a very good tool for learning, but the way it’s been used in the last decade or so is not precisely the best for healthy development of children and teenagers.

[Sage Torres @SageTorres17]

@JeanGen09181213 I would also add the fact that younger Gen Z and Gen Alpha in particular grew up attached to technology from a very early age, so that also contributed to a lot of their behavioral and learning issues; short attention spans, low tolerance for frustration, etc.
